1.8.2. Flash Operations to Read Flash Registers

The following flash operations are used to read flash registers:

  • Read device ID
  • Read status register
  • Read flag status register
  • Read configuration register
  • Read bank register
  • Read enhanced volatile configuration register

The following registers are used to read the status of a register:

  • Flash command setting register
  • Flash command control register
  • Flash command read data 0 register

Perform the Read Device ID Operation

proc read_device_id { } {
global mp flash_cmd_setting flash_cmd_ctrl flash_cmd_read_data_0
master_write_32 $mp $flash_cmd_setting 0x0000489F
master_write_32 $mp $flash_cmd_ctrl 0x1
set device_id [master_read_32 $mp $flash_cmd_read_data_0 1]
puts $device_id
}

To perform the read device ID operation, follow these steps:

  1. Define the global variables.
  2. Customize the read device ID operation by writing to the flash command setting register.
    1. Set bit [7:0] of this register to 9F as 9Fh is the operation code of the read device ID operation.
    2. Set bit [10:8] to 0 as this operation does not carry any address byte.
    3. Set bit 11 to 1 as the number of byte declared in bit [15:12] is the read data from the flash device.
    4. Set bit [15:12] to 4 so that you can read 4 bytes device ID data from the flash.
  3. Write 1 to bit 0 of the flash command control register to start the read device ID operation.
  4. Read the device ID from the flash command read data 0 register.
