MCUXpresso 10.3 MIMXRT1064 Eval Board. SDK 2.6.1.
I converted project evkmimxrt1064_flash_component_nor. Here, I describe how I did that. My actual questions show up in items 5 and 6 below.
1) The example project evkmimxrt1064_flash_component_nor is only available in version 2.7 of the SDK, which only works with MCUXpresso 11.1. We can't use 11.1, because they stopped supporting the config tool in 11.1. It's there, but somehow I don't have access to it. (I forget the error message, as it's been a long time now. It appears we're stuck in 10.3 for the forseeable future until this other problematic issues that exist in 11.1 are addressed, but alas, 'tis a subject for another day!)
2) I brought the files form the project into a copy of the "hello world" example, and deleted the hello_world.c file. As needed, I just dropped files from 11.1 project evkmimxrt1064_flash_component_nor into the source folder of my new 10.3 project, including the 3 files from the "nor_flash" folder of the original project.
3) At the top of nor_flash.c, I made the following modification:
/*******************************************************************************
* Definitions
******************************************************************************/
#define useEvalBoardChipFlash 0
#define useDoEraseVerifytest 0
#if useEvalBoardChipFlash
#define EXAMPLE_FLEXSPI FLEXSPI
#define FLASH_SIZE 0x2000 /* 64Mb/KByte */
#define EXAMPLE_FLEXSPI_AMBA_BASE FlexSPI_AMBA_BASE
#define FLASH_PAGE_SIZE 256
#define NOR_FLASH_START_ADDRESS 0U
#define EXAMPLE_FLEXSPI_CLOCK kCLOCK_FlexSpi
#else
#define EXAMPLE_FLEXSPI FLEXSPI2
#define FLASH_SIZE 0x1000 /* 32Mb/KByte */
#define EXAMPLE_FLEXSPI_AMBA_BASE FlexSPI2_AMBA_BASE
#define FLASH_PAGE_SIZE 256
#define NOR_FLASH_START_ADDRESS 0U
#define EXAMPLE_FLEXSPI_CLOCK kCLOCK_FlexSpi2
#endif
4) I modified main() as follows. (See below.) Note that
a) Without calling CLOCK_SetMux(kCLOCK_UartMux, prior to calling BOARD_InitDebugConsole(), my debug port was not working when I select "Link application to RAM" in Tool Settings=>MCU Linker=>Managed Linker Script.
b) I converted the example to one that uses the internal flash at address 0x70000000. It runs with useEvalBoardChipFlash=0 and useDoEraseVerifytest=0, as long as I do a power cycle prior to running the program. I verify that my erasures and writes actually work using the Segger JFlash utility. I can see the byte pattern in the JFlash record starting at address 0x70040000.
5) Since I did "Link application to RAM," no flash copy of my program is evidently retained, as nothing is output on power cycle without the debugger. It appears I'm going to have create my own "unmanaged" linker script (which I've done in the past with other microcontrollers, including Kinetis K22). It would be nice to not have to go the unmanaged route. Does anyone out there know how I might approach doing this? I ask because it just seems that managed scripts are a bit easier to work with.
6) If I try to debug using flash (unchecking the "Link application to RAM" box), it appears that the call to FLEXSPI_Init() commits hari-kari when it tries to call FLEXSPI_SoftwareReset(). It seems as though you may have to be executing out of RAM when you call that? If someone knows exactly why this may be, I'm all ears.
