Issue with saveenv() and the QSPI NOR memory MICRON MT25QU01GBBB
Hello U-Boot team,
I am Florian, working at Siemens in Germany.
I am in charge of bringing up a custom board based on the processor NXP QorIQ LS1043a.
So far, I have been able to bring U-Boot on the board without too much troubles.
However I can not get the command 'saveenv' to work. Our environment variables are stored in the QSPI NOR memory that is also used as boot memory.
The 'saveenv' command always ends up in a
"
=> saveenv
Saving Environment to SPI Flash... Erasing SPI flash...flash operation timed out
Failed (-110)
"
Few more information:
- No issue with a Lauterbach debugger
- I noticed that the NOR memory at offset address 0 get erased during the operation. The normal offset of the env variable is normally 0x900000.
- The memory used is the 'MT25QU01GBBB' from MICRON (Device ID 0x20bb21). I can provide the datasheet.
- the NOR memory is correctly discovered, 'sf probe => SF: Detected n25q00a with page size 256 Bytes, erase size 64 KiB, total 128 MiB'
- I have tried to activate the debug logs but they didn't bring any interesting information.

Of course, I can provide more info/logs.

Hi Kuldeep,
After bringing my local U-Boot to the v2020.01, applied your series of patch and do the necessary modifications. Our U-Boot is now correctly working with the QSPI NOR Flash. Even better, it's now compatible with the 2 variants of our board (32MiB <=> 128MiB QSPI NOR Flash) without any particular modification. Of course, we still need to perform more test but it is already looking better than before.
Thanks for your support and your reactivity.
Regards, Florian
