Hey guys,
I have a problem regarding SPI flash programming with the new SDK 1.3.4 on Linux:
With SDK 1.3.3 and cyusb_linux 1.0.4 I used to program cyusb_linux_1.0.4/fx3_images/cyfxflashprog.img into RAM. Afterwards I used the download_fx3 example to program my image to SPI flash. This worked pretty well for SDK 1.3.3.
But as soon as I use the cyfxflashprog.img from SDK 1.3.4 and cyusb_linux 1.0.5, it will not erase the SPI flash anymore (I2C still works). I get this output from download_fx3:
Working with old image
./download_fx3 -i /opt/cypress_1.3.3/cyusb_linux_1.0.4/fx3_images/cyfxflashprog.img -t ram
FX3 firmware programming to ram completed
./download_fx3 -i ./myimage.img -t spi
Info: Found FX3 flash programmer
Info: Erased sector 0 of SPI flash
Info: Erased sector 1 of SPI flash
Info: Erased sector 2 of SPI flash
Failing with new image:
./download_fx3 -i /opt/cypress/cyusb_linux_1.0.5/fx3_images/cyfxflashprog.img -t ram
FX3 firmware programming to ram completed
./download_fx3 -i ./myimage.img -t spi
Info: Found FX3 flash programmer
Error: SPI sector erase failed
Error: Failed to erase SPI flash
Error: FX3 firmware programming failed
I am using a Cypress S25FL128,, which should be compatible...
The FX3 does not print anything regarding SPI on its UART, just
Device initialized. Firmware ID: 50 33 58 46 0 47 4F 52
Just as if it never received the USB vendor requests regarding SPI. When I compile the cyfxflashprog.c source code example from SDK 1.3.4 myself it works perfectly. Can anybody confirm this issue or is it a layer 8 problem? J
Best regards,
Michael
