I am currently trying to use an S70FS01GS in Linux. After going through the forum posts I came across the following Application Note:

Software Application Notice for S70FS01GS NOR Flash - KBA225966 which had a link to the following note:

S25FS-S Support Under Linux - KBA218975 which states that if I need a driver patch to add support for FS devices I need to ask Cypress.

Would it be possible for me to get this Linux Driver patch for the S70FS01GS device. I am currently using the 4.19.26 Linux Kernel.

Hi Bushra,

Thank you for the link to the driver. I have been able to build the driver and I am using the following as my device tree binding:

&qspi {

     status = "okay";

     qflash0: s70fs01gs@0 {

          compatible = "cy-snor";

          #address-cells = <1>;

          #size-cells = <1>;

          m25p,fast-read;

          spi-max-frequency = <20000000>;

          reg = <0>;

     };

};

However, the driver doesn't seem to probe when I load my system. I have enabled all the kernel configs as per the README file in the driver and I have confirmed that they are set.

Any ideas on how to proceed?

Regards,

Himesh

I forgot to mention I am using an NXP LS1088A processor with and it's SPI Controller driver is "drivers/mtd/spi-nor/fsl-quadspi.c" in the Linux driver source tree, if that helps.
