S25FL256S flash seems to be locked

[Anonymous]

Hi,

   

During development the Uboot/Linux driver for S25FL256S flash, I encounter a problem that the flash seems to be locked and cannot be reset. Even the JTAG also cannot erase/program the flash, only debug the code in the RAM.  

   

I tried to read registers, the SR1 = 0x1C, the CR1 = 0xEE. the BPNV bit has been set to 1 and BP2-0 in SR are volatile and will be reset to binary 111 after POR. 

   

How can I unlock the flash?

Hi,

   

Did you try to change the value in SR1 and CR1 using WREN and WRR commands?

   

1. CS# LOW

   

2. WREN command

   

3. CS# HIGH

   

4. CS# LOW

   

5. WRR command + SR1 value + CR1 value

   

6. CS# HIGH

   

Also, please let us know the steps you follow to program and erase flash device.

   

Thanks and Regards,
