C.8. Building U-Boot to Support Multi-QSPI
Building the U-Boot to support RSU with multi-QSPI devices requires the following changes compared with the regular build for RSU:
- Set CONFIG_SOCFPGA_RSU_MULTIFLASH to y in the build configuration file to enable multi-QSPI support in the U-Boot RSU functionality. In the same file also make sure that CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS is set to 0 to indicate that the SPTs and CPBs are located in chip 0.
- Add the number of QSPI flash devices in the system to the corresponding QSPI node in the device tree using the num-cs parameter.
- Create a flash node for each one of the QSPI flash devices in the device tree. Use the default example as reference to create the others. In each one of the nodes:
- Reduce the maximum SPI frequency to 25 MHz using the spi-max-frequency parameter.
- Assign the corresponding chip select using the reg parameter.
- Create the desired partitions in each of the chips.
For an example about how to build the U-Boot for a multi-QSPI system, refer to the Building U-Boot section in the Agilex™ 7 SoC HPS Multi-QSPI Remote System Update Example web page.
