Hello,

After emailing support I reached a conclusion that the Cypress S25FS512S is not compatible with the Generic quad SPI controler core II IP.

They suggested using the Generic Serial Flash interface IP instead to boot from on-chip-ram and then write my own boot copier to copy the data from flash to ram then switch.

Thank you for your Assistance

Best Regards
