Hi, Stefan... Nevermind, I think I know what happened: previous to the CPU accessing this SPI Flash, the FPGA attempted to load from it in QSPI mode. So that implies that the FPGA set the QE bit, which keeps it stuck at QSPI mode...

No official datasheet matching the chip is available. The chip definition bases on the datasheet of the EPCQ16 and other Micron chips of the same familiy. Its existence and functionality via SFDP was reported by Peter Ma.

Not exactly, no. Apparently something you did changed the chip's reaction to the SFDP query opcode or something similar. You could try lowering the SPI frequency and look for a changed behavior while probing for SFDP. If that fails you could also try the attached patch that adds a chip definition that should work for your variation as well. --- flashchips.c | 39 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- flashchips.h | 2 ++ 2 files changed, 40 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/flashchips.c b/flashchips.c index 40b6b8e..30c50ca 100644 --- a/flashchips.c +++ b/flashchips.c @@ -9505,7 +9505,7 @@ const struct flashchip flashchips[] = { { .vendor = "Micron/Numonyx/ST", - .name = "N25Q016", + .name = "N25Q016..1E", .bustype = BUS_SPI, .manufacture_id = ST_ID, .model_id = ST_N25Q016__1E, @@ -9542,6 +9542,43 @@ const struct flashchip flashchips[] = { { .vendor = "Micron/Numonyx/ST", + .name = "N25Q016..3E", + .bustype = BUS_SPI, + .manufacture_id = ST_ID, + .model_id = ST_N25Q016__3E, + .total_size = 2048, + .page_size = 256, + /* supports SFDP */ + /* OTP: 64B total; read 0x4B, write 0x42 */ + .feature_bits = FEATURE_WRSR_WREN | FEATURE_OTP, + .tested = TEST_OK_PREW, + .probe = probe_spi_rdid, + .probe_timing = TIMING_ZERO, + .block_erasers = + { + { + .eraseblocks = { {4 * 1024, 512} }, + .block_erase = spi_block_erase_20, + }, { + .eraseblocks = { {32 * 1024, 64} }, + .block_erase = spi_block_erase_52, + }, { + .eraseblocks = { {64 * 1024, 32} }, + .block_erase = spi_block_erase_d8, + }, { + .eraseblocks = { {2 * 1024 * 1024, 1} }, + .block_erase = spi_block_erase_c7, + } + }, + .printlock = spi_prettyprint_status_register_n25q, /* TODO: config, lock, flag regs */ + .unlock = spi_disable_blockprotect_n25q, /* TODO: per 64kB sector lock registers */ + .write = spi_chip_write_256, /* Multi I/O supported */ + .read = spi_chip_read, /* Fast read (0x0B) and multi I/O supported */ + .voltage = {2700, 3600}, + }, + + { + .vendor = "Micron/Numonyx/ST", .name = "N25Q032..1E", .bustype = BUS_SPI, .manufacture_id = ST_ID, diff --git a/flashchips.h b/flashchips.h index 9ffb30f..7dfe985 100644 --- a/flashchips.h +++ b/flashchips.h @@ -839,6 +839,8 @@ #define ST_MT28GU256___2 0x8904 #define ST_MT28GU512___1 0x887E #define ST_MT28GU512___2 0x8881 +/* The N25Q family is also used by Altera in its EPCQ series. */ +#define ST_N25Q016__3E 0xBA15 /* N25Q016, 3.0V, (uniform sectors expected) */ #define ST_N25Q016__1E 0xBB15 /* N25Q016, 1.8V, (uniform sectors expected) */ #define ST_N25Q032__3E 0xBA16 /* N25Q032, 3.0V, (uniform sectors expected) */ #define ST_N25Q032__1E 0xBB16 /* N25Q032, 1.8V, (uniform sectors expected) */ -- Kind regards, Stefan Tauner _______________________________________________ flashrom mailing list flashrom@flashrom.org https://www.flashrom.org/mailman/listinfo/flashrom
