Hi,

The software driver supports SPI Flashes with the following parameters:

1. Address Width - 24 bit addressing

2. Data Rate is specific to the IoT chip:

       CYW2070x supports SPI data rate upto 12MHz

3. Supports JEDEC's CFI (Common Flash Interface) compatible SPI Flash chips from Cypress Semiconductors, SST, STMicroelectronics, Atmel, MXIC, Adesto, Winbond.

Could you please clarify at what stage the download failed? Did you probe the SFLASH lines and confirmed whether the flash writes are failing?

- Can you put the device in recovery mode and try downloading?

Thanks & Regards,
Anjana

Hi,Anjana,

thanks for your support.

1.for Flash GD25WD80C,the download failed log:

Converting CGS to HEX...

Conversion complete

Creating OTA images...

Conversion complete

OTA image footprint in NV is 66639 bytes

Detecting device...

Downloading application...

********* Download Failure *************

+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

| Power cycle the CYW920706WCDEVAL board and retry.                                        |

| If this problem persists, the serial flash on the board may be corrupted.                |

| Please see Appendix D in the Kit Guide for recovery instructions.                        |

+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Download failed. This WICED platform of the SDK only supports download to 20706A2 device

we put the device in recovery mode and reset,it still download failed. when changeed to MXIC Flash MX25R4035FZUIL0,the board download succesfully.

2. we'll let end customer to test SST,ST,Atmel,  Adesto, Winbond flash samples with CYW20706, did need to modify what configuration in WICED  SDK for supporting these flashs ?thanks.
