write to flash on GW5A is not yet supported #389
Comments
I will receive a mega in few days (or a week), will be able to work on adding external flash support. |
got your board ? ^_^ |
Yes! I have received my board and started to see how to access flash for this family. It's not really complex (a bit tricky) but I have first to review a PR for gowin devices. |
Good news! i’m a newbie on this, thanks for your help! |
i noticed that openFPGAloader support flash GW5A now! so happy! but seems write to SRAM function bad now.... when Load a new fs file to SRAM, nothing happen, and READY led on board keeping ON, which should be off here is log for SRAM upload
|
Currently SPI write is only supported for GW5A, not GW5AST (I don't know why but I have strange behaviour). |
I have also to update status display: currently bit/function are displayed according to non GW5A(ST). For this family only GW5A-25 has the correct register decoding. |
but i can write flash on my mega138pro.. |
Ok. So I have to recheck everything. SPI flash is seen but not all the time, it fails to write and I'm able to load SRAM. it's more or less totally opposite situation. |
when device under wrong state, other write is not work, even with --bulk-erase, need to repower it. |
I continue to search the reason to this regression. before this commit there is no issue, after yes. |
I have the same problem, when load to sram of 138k, nothing happen |
I try, as much as possible, to find why SRAM is not working. But I can't isolate the issue. It's a WIP. |
A strange thing I observe: depending of the bitstream written in flash, loading to SRAM works or not. |
With my last commit I'm able to load a bitstream all the time (with a flash containing a bitstream where security bit is enable or not). |
c00l!! now SRAM write ~100% work, thank thee very much! flash write need twice, 1st time failed(need to wait), then 2rd time work fine |
I have observed this issue too. I don't know why but |
for me, it not work. |
litex and led.fs uses leds in a similar way. Could you try with litex and ws2812. I use this demo to have real distinct behavior when I have to switch. |

Hi, |
In version 0.12.1,Ubuntu , I also meet the problem: nothing happened after burning and READY led on board keeping ON, which should be off. |
i got a tang mega 138k pro which use Gowin GW5AST 138 as main fpga chip,
but now openFPGALoader not supported to write its external flash, will support soon?
Thank you!
