NiosII QSPI Flash

Hi, We have a NIOSII design which use QSPI flash (as NVM, no for programming). There are 2 IPs that could be used for this: 1. https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/lite...

Hi, Alon


1. Generic QUAD SPI controller II is older generation and it has limited coverage on flash device programming. Generic serial flash Intel IP is more recommended for newer designs moving forward. It covers more flash device programming.


2. Generic serial flash Intel IP has more coverage on flash device programming and application moving forward.


3. There is no readily available HAL API for Generic serial flash Intel IP, but there are reference examples on how to develop the APIs in detail, you can refer to page 22 - 30 of https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/ug/ug-gen-sfi.pdf?wapkw=quad%20spi


Thanks.


Eric
