MCUXpresso and RT1050 QSPI Flash Programming

ryanshuttlewort — Wed, 29 Nov 2017 16:53:03 GMT

Hello I am using MCUXpresso IDE, version v10.1.0 [Build 589] [2017-11-14] with an MIMXRT1050-EVK SDK, version 2.3.0 (2017-11-16). It appears that the only available Flash driver for the MIMXRT1050-EVK is MIMXRT1050-EVK_S26KS512S.cfx.

My questions are:

1) I assume this means that I can only program the on-board HyperFlash at this time?

2) When will a QSPI Flash driver for the on-board IS25WP064 become available?

3) When will a QSPI Flash demo, similar to the hello_world_xip become available?

Thanks.

P.S. Here is a list of available flash drivers:

Hi,

you can download the Flashloader for i.MXRT1050 which supports QSPI NOR Flash here:

www.nxp.com/imxrt1050 > Software & Tools > Flashloader i.MX-RT1050 ^{(REV 1.0) and consider what is mentioned here https://community.nxp.com/thread/464993}

^{By now we dont have information about when QSPI driver is being developed.}

Regards,
Carlos

Hello Carlos, thanks for the reply. I have the flash loader. What I am asking is how I can do this from the MCUXpresso IDE. That is build, program QSPI Flash and debug code the same way I can with HyperFlash.

Are you suggesting that the only way to work with QSPI Flash is through the MfgTool (FlashLoader)?

Sorry, I missed the "By now we don't have information about when QSPI driver is being developed." line. This is unfortunate, we were hoping to be able to develop and debug with QSPI Flash from the IDE.

FYI, Digikey and Mouser are listing the QSPI Flash part on the MIMXRT1050-EVK as obsolete. Perhaps this is why there is no news of drivers.

Hello Ryan,

Have you had any updates in this area? We are at the point of testing out XiP projects on the quad spi flash included on the MIMXRT1050EVK and my sample project is throwing chip init fail errors upon starting a debug session (details below). I'm attempting to run from flash using the LPC5460x_SPIFI_GENERIC.cfx driver. The MIMXRT1050-EVK_S26KS512S.cfx was working for the hyperflash unit that we subsequently took off our board in order to test out the quadspi flash.

With the LPC5460x_SPIFI_GENERIC.cfx driver we're getting the following debug errors.

vendor chip initialization failed - Em(17). Debug port inaccessible after access at location 0x2000B728
vendor chip initialization failed - Em(17). Debug port inaccessible after access at location 0x2000B728

Error message from debugger back end:

I saw some other community posts that suggest using the flashloader however I was curious if there is a method for using the MCUXpresso IDE to debug in place?

Thanks for the update Ed.
