There is some cleanup work that needs to be done (e.g. [1]). After that I will send an official patch for the spi-mem driver. Then Ashish and you can comment with your test results and change requests. Sounds like a good plan. Please keep me on Cc on any of these patches, so that I don't forget to review and test them. Thanks in advance. Hi Frieder, I see one issue with current SPI-MEM driver getting ported in u-boot, that is: access via md command is not working, in order words direct access to flash memory is no more possible, which was previously possible. Such access is helpful to access memory directly and make user experience similar to parallel NOR. Yes, direct memory-mapped access to the whole flash is not possible with this driver. Though I don't see any good reason why someone wants to do this, when there's a SPI NOR and MTD layer to abstract the flash and handle access to it. You can still use sf and/or mtd commands to read/write data between flash and RAM. I agree with Frieder that we don't need this direct memory access via "md/mm/etc" in U-Boot. Access via the "normal" sf and/or mtd commands should be enough for SPI NOR. Thanks, Stefan ___ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de https://lists.denx.de/listinfo/u-boot

This is with CONFIG_SYS_FSL_QSPI_AHB enabled and disabled. How is QSPI supposed to work on i.MX6ULL/ULZ? Is any one of you running this current mainline driver successfully on one any i-MX6ULL/ULZ based board? If yes, what is your configuration here?

I have a strong suspicion of what goes wrong in your case. We
experienced exactly the same issue recently on i.MX6ULL. For some
reasons (I guess differences in BootROM) this does not happen on i.MX6UL.
The problem is, that the BootROM sets the TDH bits in the QuadSPI_FLSHCR
register to '01' in case it uses the DDR mode. Afterwards when U-Boot or
Linux try to access the flash in SDR mode, they fail as the TDH bits are
still set. Resetting them to '00' solves the problem.
Unfortunately the TDH bits are not documented in the manual of the
i.MX6UL/ULL, but they can be found in the manual of the i.MX7.
For the QSPI driver, this means it needs a fix to set/reset the TDH bits
according to the mode that is used (DDR/SDR).

Many thanks. I did some tests with this version and it seems to work
fine in general on the i.MX6ULL EVK. My first tests show that reading
and writing has no issues. So this is very promising. The only thing
I noticed is, that when using SPI for environment via
CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH, the board hangs upon bootup while trying
to read the env. Since you already added some debug print's to the
env code, I suspect that you also did run into this problem.
I'll try to help with this driver version. At least I can debug this
env issue and can always do some test on my mx6ull platform for you
once you have any updates here. Just let me know.
Okay, this one with the env in SPI NOR is fixed. Its a problem with
your PR debug printf macro. Please change it this way:
-#define PR(fmt, ...) \
-fprintf(stderr, "DEBUG: %s:%d:%s(): " fmt" \n", \
+#define PR(fmt, ...)\
+printf("DEBUG: %s:%d:%s(): " fmt" \n", \
With this change, I can successfully boot with SPI NOR environment
on my board. I will do some further tests with your driver next
week and will get back to you with the results. Please keep me in
the loop, if you have updates on the driver.
One further update on this QSPI driver. This driver only works when
loaded via "imx_usb" on the i.MX6ULL EVK. When programmed into QSPI
and booted from QSPI this driver does not detect the SPI NOR
flash:
=> sf probe
unrecognized JEDEC id bytes: ff, ff, ff
Do you have any idea what might explain this difference. I would have
expected that when booting via QSPI it would be "easier" for the

This causes DDR_EN been cleared while TDH=1, then no clk2x output for TX data shift and all operations will fail. The best way to fix all of these things (also the ones in the other patches) would be to fix them in Linux and port the driver from Linux to U- Boot. Actually I've already done most of the porting [2], Hello Frieder, I had tested your porting and it was not functional on u-boot. I found that only erase, read up to TX/RX buf size is working or something like that. Also ip and AHB mode cannot be used at time in code. Previously only IP mode was used in u-boot, Since endianness across different QSPI-IP(ls1012, ls1043, ls1021 big endian), (ls1088,ls2088 little endian) is not consistent on various silicon's. I am not sure if Yogesh who worked with you on Linux porting gave you this information about endianness inconsistency. Ok, thanks for your feedback. The endianness for the different SoCs can be handled by the device data. Does this work correctly in Linux, or does the Linux driver need fixes? Please suggest way forward. How to correct this issue?

For details see: [1]. iMX6ULL has same QSPI controller revision with 6UL. I just checked their ROM codes, the TDH will be set if the DDR mode is enabled in QSPI configuration parameters. It won't be cleared by ROM. Have you compared other registers like LUT and MCR DDR_EN?

Our downstream kernel has fixed the issue, it is similar as this u-boot fix. TDH must be set along with DDR_EN. I'm not this kernel driver owner, I will check with him about the upstream of this fix.

In the mean while I will try to debug it further on u-boot. But I believe we can focus on u-boot straight away by disabling AHB for now. Since AHB is taken care with help of another file ./arch/arm/cpu/armv8/fsl-layerscape/soc.c function qspi_ahb_init(), Which is facilitated via md command.

Actually I've already done most of the porting [2], Hello Frieder, I had tested your porting and it was not functional on u-boot. I found that only erase, read up to TX/RX buf size is working or something like that. Also ip and AHB mode cannot be used at time in code. Previously only IP mode was used in u-boot, Since endianness across different QSPI-IP(ls1012, ls1043, ls1021 big endian), (ls1088,ls2088 little endian) is not consistent on various silicon's. I am not sure if Yogesh who worked with you on Linux porting gave you this information about endianness inconsistency. Please suggest way forward. How to correct this issue?
