Why do write operations fail with an MT25QU01G flash device when using the FPGA Generic QUAD SPI Controller II Core?

Environment

  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition
  • Generic QUAD SPI Controller II Intel® FPGA IP
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    Due to a problem in the FPGA Generic QUAD SPI Controller II version 18.1, erase operations starting from sector 256 onwards will fail, causing all write operations to be unsuccessful when using an MT25QU01G flash device.

    Erase and write operations executed below sector 256 will be performed without problems.

    This problem affects the FPGA Generic QUAD SPI Controller II included with the Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Software version 18.1
