1SoCFPGA EPCS/EPCQx1 mini howto:
2- Instantiate EPCS/EPCQx1 Serial flash controller in QSys and rebuild
3- The controller base address is the "Base" in QSys + 0x400
4- Set MSEL[4:0]=10010 (AS Standard)
5- Load the bitstream into FPGA, enable bridges
6- Only then will the driver work

README.sandbox-spi
1Sandbox SPI/SPI Flash Implementation
2====================================
3
4U-Boot supports SPI and SPI flash emulation in sandbox. This must be enabled
5using the --spi_sf paramter when starting U-Boot.
6
7For example:
8
9$ make O=sandbox sandbox_config
10$ make O=sandbox
11$ ./sandbox/u-boot --spi_sf 0:0:W25Q128:b/chromeos_peach/out/image.bin
12
13The four parameters to spi_sf are:
14
15 SPI bus number (typically 0)
16 SPI chip select number (typically 0)
17 SPI chip to emulate
18 File containing emulated data
19
20Supported chips are W25Q16 (2MB), W25Q32 (4MB) and W25Q128 (16MB). Once
21U-Boot it started you can use 'sf' commands as normal. For example:
22
23$ ./b/sandbox/u-boot --spi_sf 0:0:W25Q128:b/chromeos_peach/out/image.bin \
24 -c "sf probe; sf test 0 100000; sf read 0 1000 1000; \
25 sf erase 1000 1000; sf write 0 1000 1000"

51
52Since the SPI bus is fully implemented as well as the SPI flash connected to
53it, you can also use low-level SPI commands to access the flash. For example
54this reads the device ID from the emulated chip:
55
56=> sspi 0 32 9f

42For #2, set sysboot to QSPI-1 boot mode(SYSBOOT[5:0] = 100110) and power
43on. ROM should find the GP header at offset 0 and load/execute SPL. SPL
44then detects that ROM was in QSPI-1 mode (boot code 10) and attempts to
45find a U-Boot image header at offset 0x20000 (set in the config file)
46and proceeds to load that image using the U-Boot image payload offset/size
47from the header. It will then start U-Boot.

README.ti_qspi_flash
1QSPI U-Boot support
2------------------
3
4Host processor is connected to serial flash device via qpsi
5interface. QSPI is a kind of spi module that allows single,
6dual and quad read access to external spi devices. The module
7has a memory mapped interface which provide direct interface
8for accessing data form external spi devices.
9
10The one QSPI in the device is primarily intended for fast booting
11from Quad SPI flash devices.
12
13Usecase
14-------
15
16MLO/u-boot.img will be flashed from SD/MMC to the flash device
17using serial flash erase and write commands. Then, switch settings
18will be changed to qspi boot. Then, the ROM code will read MLO
19from the predefined location in the flash, where it was flashed and
20execute it after storing it in SDRAM. Then, the MLO will read
21u-boot.img from flash and execute it from SDRAM.
22
23SPI mode
24-------
25SPI mode uses mtd spi framework for transfer and reception of data.
26Can be used in:
271. Normal mode: use single pin for transfers
282. Dual Mode: use two pins for transfers.
293. Quad mode: use four pin for transfer
30
31Memory mapped read mode
32-----------------------
33In this, SPI controller is configured using configuration port and then
34controller is switched to memory mapped port for data read.
35
36Driver
37------
38drivers/qspi/ti_qspi.c
39 - Newly created file which is responsible for configuring the
40 qspi controller and also for providing the low level api which
41 is responsible for transferring the datas from host controller
42 to flash device and vice versa.
43
44Testing
45-------
46A seperated file named README.dra_qspi_test has been created which gives all the
47details about the commands required to test qspi at U-Boot level.
48
