Direct Flash File programming

Post by Schorsch »

Hi XMOS-Community,

is it possible to burn the Flash-File, who was generated by the XFlash options->Output to file, directly on the SPI IC and run the application?

What I mean. I take the file and an external Flash programmer and burn the SPI IC without CRC checking and something else. Then I implement the SPI-Flash in the circuit and it runs.

Thanks for your answers in advance!

Best regards

Schorsch

Hi Schorsch,

Yes, just make sure you swap the nibbles (QSPI), or reverse the bits (SPI).
See sections 8.1/8.2 of the XCore200 datasheets.

Cheers,
