Hi,

[quote user="lodup29"]This is a custom board. The routing was a little tight so I was asked to check if I could work with an SPI Flash instead and that's how I hit the issue. No big deal for us. The designer managed to route his design using a QSPI Flash in the end.[/quote]

Its great to hear that you were able to work around this issue. My apologies for the inconvenience!

Kind regards,

Håkon

Hi,

Yes, there seems to be an issue declaring spi-nor device on a SoC that has qspi capabilities.

I'll report this internally.

Is there a specific reason why you're interfacing it as a standard SPI device, and not a QSPI flash? MX25R32 should be able to do up to quad SPI.

Kind regards,

Håkon
