  • [SOLVED] JLink v.8.0 has problem with programming W25Q128FVFG

    Hello,

    I have a problem with programming ext. Flash memory. I used S25FL128S (QSPI with SPIFI lib) with LPC1853 as flash for screens and audio files. It work's fine - with Keil Flash Programming Algorithm and with JLink commander (directly).

    I tried do the same with Winbond W25Q128FVFG flash memory. According to your compatible list, it is supported by J Link to program directly from command line.
    But it doesn't work (Error: Error while determining flash info (Bank @ 0x14000000), Unspecified error -1).

    It seems to be problem with reading Status Register (W25Q128FVFG has 3 R/W Status Register in contrast to S25FL128S - 2 Status Registers).
    But in your website it is listed as full compatibility. Why it doesn't work?
    HW Setup:

    I tied to program it via SPI (without uC, image below) but i get message - "your JLink is to old to program this memory via SPI" (something like that:) ).

    An attempt to write the Flash Programming Algorithm also did not succeed ( I can't program flash via Keil with JLink).

    Could you help me? Why it doesnt work?


    PS. J-Flash give me :
    - Error while determining flash info (Bank 1 @ 0x14000000)

  • Hi,

    We got the same request via e-mail and just replied to it.
    We will sort this case out via e-mail channel and post the final results here in the forum.

    To keep the rest of the forum members up-to-date:

    Regarding LPC1853 + S25FL128S: We are not aware of any issues with this setup. Anyhow, if you provide us with a reproduce, we will have a look at this and if required, implement a fix.
    I tied to program it via SPI (without uC, image below) but i get message - "your JLink is to old to program this memory via SPI" (something like that:) ).
    The J-Link BASE V8 does not support the SPI interface, required for J-Flash SPI.
    A list of which features are supported by which J-Link hardware version can be found here:
    wiki.segger.com/Software_and_H…J-Link_PLUS.2C_J-Link_EDU

    We would recommend to make use of the SEGGER Trade-In-Program to get a current model which supports the SPI interface.
    Further information regarding this can be found here: segger.com/trade-in-program.html

    Best regards
    Erik
