QuadFlash incompatible with lib_webserver?

[CrAzIaNhAx]

Hi,

I am developing on the xCORE-200 MC Audio board and I am having issues with compiling my project with the Webserver Library (lib_webserver) with my current project. Upon further inspection of the code I have noticed my lib_tsn is using the <quadflash.h> whereas lib_webserver is using <flash.h>, as a result many conflicting type errors arise even when Webserver Flash is disabled. Has anyone else run into this issue? Is there any workaround?

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi,
My understanding is that when flash usage switch is suppressed in lib_webserver, flash ports would be passed as null and hence should not cause any issue while build.

Can you post the error/simple project to build and check?

Yes you can pass the flash ports as Null but all the flash defines, enums and functions are still declared in the project and clash with the quad flash library.

I am currently facing the same problem. Are there any solutions so far?

I tried to replace all includes of flash.h with quadflashlib.h, adjusted all fl_SPIports to fl_QSPIports and adjusted the module_build_info to use -lquadflash instead of -lflash, but still building fails due to all functions/defines being defined twice, in libquadflash and libflash.

EDIT:
I had libflash included in one of my own files (was using standard SPI for testing before). The adjustments listed above did allow building the project using the webserver and qspi flash.
