Why HPS booting from QSPI will hang after we configure the HPS cold reset register on CV SoC dev kit?

Environment

  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    Due to advanced and high density serial flash devices that can operate in modes(three-byte/four-byte addressing mode)more capable than the common configuration that is assumed by three-byte addressing mode, the Intel® Cyclone ® V HPS will hang when configure the HPS cold reset register(0xffd05004) through the UBOOT command “mw 0xffd05004 0x00110001” without resetting QSPI flash to three-byte addressing mode. The UART print as below:

    Resolution

    You can set the QSPI in three-byte address mode before configuring the HPS cold reset register(0xffd05004) or output the h2f_cold_reset from FPGA pin to reset the QSPI Flash to three-byte address mode.
