Enable Quad Enable Bit in Status Register2 to enable Fast Read Quad Output (6Bh)

[Maulik_Manvar]

Dear All,

I am using LS1012A-FRWY and it has Winbond SPI flash w25q16dw.

I want to enable Quad Enable bit of Status register-2 in order to capture (6bh) Fast Read Quad Output instruction. I have access of mtd spi-nor driver. 

Currently I tried below commands to generate the output and I am getting 0xeb command.

root@ls1012afrwy:~# mtd_debug read /dev/mtd0 0x0 100 dump_0x100
Copied 100 bytes from address 0x00000000 in flash to dump_0x100

Is there any way to check the status of this Quad Enable bit?

Can you guide me the process that how to enable/disable Quad Enable bit for Winbond flash placed in NXP FRWYLS1012a or what changes I required to capture 6bh instruction?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @yipingwang 

Above solution also helped me to generate 6Bh command.

When I am doing the similar kind of changes to generate quadspi 4-4-4 command and other dual spi command (1-2-2,1-1-2 or 2-2-2) it's not working as expected. Could you please help me to guide or by suggesting required changes to generate the other mode signals.

Thanks.
