AM62P: How to adapt new flash GD25F64 in mcu-r5f MCal Fls moudle

Hi Nihar,

can you help check this thread? I think we can support Cypress mcal driver but not GD device, right? pls help for this question.

Hello,

zhang you said:

1. Our am62p project flash uses GD25F64. Can our MCAL FLS module support this chip? Or is there a patch that can support this chip?

As Biao mentioned, AM62Px MCAL FLS driver was only validated with the Cypress flash device but not with a GD device. 

However, it should still be possible to use the MCAL FLS driver with custom flash parts. This would require modifications to the board config files. You can refer to the below link for more details on this :

https://software-dl.ti.com/mcu-plus-sdk/esd/PLATFORM_SW_MCAL/AM62xx/10.00.00.00/ug_fls_top.html#:~:text=Driver%20Adaption%20for%20new%20flash%20protocol%20and%20new%20flash%20device

On a side note, we are also updating the MCAL FLS driver to have all the custom flash part configurations in the EB Tresos tool itself instead of having to create the board config files manually. This feature is coming in the 10.1 MCAL SDK  which is scheduled for December 2024 and this will simplify custom flash integration process with the MCAL FLS driver.

2. Previously, the flash driver for Wakeup-R5f could be configured using sysconfig, but we tried to use sysconfig on MCU-R5f and couldn't find the flash driver. Is there any way to configure the flash driver to run on MCU using sysconfig?

The MCAL SDK doesn't use the sysconfig tool. So, it would not be possible to use syconfig tool to configure teh flash driver. You would have to use the EB Tresos tool and the board cfg files in MCAL SDK.
