[U-Boot] spi_flash_probe returns zero idcodes and hangs
Hello All, I am using a custom ARM based development board running u-boot from PNOR memory. However, it does not have support for the Micron SPI flash memory (N25Q064A). I have added support for the micron memory in drivers/mtd/spi/stmicro.c file and included the flag CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_STMICRO in the config file and recompiled the u-boot source source. Then, ran it directly through RAM memory. The new u-boot ran from RAM. Now when I run sf probe 0 command I get the following output Got Idcodes 000000: 00 00 00 00 and the code hangs after this.
Please help me regarding this issue.
Regards, Amit.

Looks like your driver itself is not returning any proper idcode.
What id details you added - I think you're using old u-boot no stmicro.c in current u-boot, please re-base to master and try.
thanks!
Amit,
If you can, place a SPI protocol analyzer on the bus and trace its transactions.
I recently debugged a similar symptom and discovered that I was not driving the Tx FIFO consistently enough to maintain the appearance of a single transaction on the ID request to the flash.
How is your SPI device (flash, right?) being selected? If via a GPIO, are you sure you are driving it properly? If it is directly using a controller's slave-select line, you may need to ensure a full Tx FIFO for both the write and response.
