RT1064 programming the internal Flash at the same time as using HyperRAM

I have come to a tiresome problem in one of our projects. 

The system uses a RT1064, HyperRAM (8 Mbyte) and the code runs out of the internal 4 MByte Flash in the 1064.

The HyperRAM is connected to FlexSPI and the internal Flash is by nature, connected to FlexSPI2.

In my bootloader, I need to have access to the HyperRAM at the same time as programming the internal Flash. This seems not to be possible ??

I can program the internal flash just fine using the NOR Flash driver in the device, but as soon as I do:

status = flexspi_nor_flash_init(instance, &config); // instance is 1 in this case

I loose the connection to the HyperRAM.

Is that to be expected, and more importantly, is there a way around it ?

In this particular case I need to load a firmware file from a filesystem and program that to the internal Flash.

(I'm using the internal 1 MB SRAM for other purposes (filesystem etc etc) so its not an option to use that)

When debugging, I can see that as soon as the NOR Flash driver is called for the internal Flash on FlexSPI2, the FlexSPI is also affected, most of its registers are set to 0. This seems strange as I specifically asks for FlexSPI2 which should be for the internal Flash (or is that determined by the address space)?

To make the situation more clear, please specify the following: where your code runs from when you try to initialize the NOR Flash for write? Is it XiP from HyperRAM on FlexSPI, or XiP from QSPI NOR Flash on FlexSPI2, or is it internal RAM? In case of XiP from QSPI NOR Flash on FlexSPI2, the situation is clear and the answer is: there is no way to XiP from a QSPI NOR Flash and write to the same Flash at the same time.


Have a great day,
Artur

Thanks Arthur.

The code runs from XIP (internal NOR Flash of the RT1064 on FlexSPI2 at 0x70000000). The HyperRAM is connected to FlexSPI (at 0x60000000).

I use the Flash NOR drivers of the chip (I assume they are in ROM). This works perfectly fine, I can program the Flash without problems.

The "only" issue is that when the ROM driver function flexspi_nor_flash_init(instance, &config); is called (to start the programming access to the internal NOR Flash) I loose connection to the HyperRAM.

The strange thing is that the internal Flash and the HyperRAM is on seperate FlexSPI busses, but nevertheless, when I access the Flash on FlexSPI2, the HyperRAM on FlexSPI is failing.

After the Flash access (after I update my main firmware), I need to init the HyperRAM again to re-gain access to it (contents are destroyed).

Hope this makes it clear ?

The QSPI NOR Flash driver is not located in the on-chip ROM, it is the part of the MCUXpresso SDK.

So, the issue mostly looks like the bug in the driver. So, you have to check/debug the driver code.

On my side, I can try to escalate the issue to R&D, but the fast bug fix is not guaranteed.

Artur

And according to that, the driverstuff is located at

#define g_bootloaderTree (*(bootloader_api_entry_t**)(0x0020001c))

And according to UM:

Yes, according to the code you've provided, you really use the ROM API routines.

So, seems that the current version of the ROM NOR Flash API code really affects the FlexSPI1 controller when erase/program operations of the internal NOR Flash occur on FlexSPI2.

As I told before, I can raise a ticket to our R&D team to check the issue, but, anyway, there will be no fast solution for ROM code fix. The possible solution is to use non-ROM code running from some other place e.g. from RAM.

Thanks Arthur,

I tried getting the "flexspi_nor_flash_ops.c" functions to work, but no success (I gues LUT etc are not working for the internal Flash). Is there some samples for the internal NOR Flash using the SDK code ??

The SDK_x.y.z_EVK-MIMXRT1064\boards\evkmimxrt1064\driver_examples\flexspi\nor code seems to be the right one to try. Please try to bring it up using the MCUxpresso IDE. Also, please follow the SDK and IDE documentation.
