Enable Macronix flash support for Cyclone5 SoC
Do these boards actually have a macronix flash ? Most of the ones I know of do not.
Good question.
Actually they are pin compatible and customer can replace the existing one. FYI, there seems a NOR flash shortage worldwide which lead to requests by customer to change the BOM list.
I'm quite sure better half of those boards won't . If you want to enable the SPI NORs on the devkits, fine, but the is1, sr1500 and vining are unlikely to get a replacement memory type.
Actually the way the code works is detecting JEDEC ID and associate it with correct flash drivers like Micron, Spansion or Macronix. Hence it would not yield any issue except slightly larger code.
Which on those boards I listed is useless dead code.
But I can take out sr1500 and vining if it yield a concern.
IS1 too.
