iMxRT1040 Boot FlexSPI and DQS

Hi,

I have a problem with my configuration to fit all the required peripherals.

I plan to use external Quad SPI NOR Flash with no Strobe. (as the EVK).

I need to use : CCM.CLKO1 [J4] and CCM.CLKO2 [J1].

I need one FlexSPI (for ext Flash) and one uSDHC for SdCard.

The 2 clocks outputs prevent me from using uSDHC1.

Then, I have to use uSDHC2 for the SdCard that has the CMD signal on [M4].

The [M4] pin is shared with FLEXSPI.A_DQS.

What's the best way to use SdCard and boot on FlexSPI ?

Can I boot easily on FLEXSPI2.A ? or should I use FlexSPI1.A with internal loopback Strobe ?

Thanks in advance,

Hi @jfz_arturia ,

Question: Can I boot easily on FLEXSPI2.A ?

Answer: No, You can't. 

In IMXRT1040RM reference manual, You can see that NOR Flash can only be  boot on FlexSPI1
