@thedub2001, This is the final code ('stable' branch) going into v3.0.0 could you check to see if it works with the W25Q256? Thanks!

@boseji, Can you please confirm that v3.0.0 code from the 'stable' branch works with the RTL8195A? Once you confirm that, I can go ahead and make RTL8195A support official. 😃 If you want to add support for any new boards please do so on the 'development' branch and I'll roll that into the next release.

[boseji]

Sure will check this out tonight and confirm.

[Marzogh]

Thanks!

I have just checked out the Development Branch against RTL8195 with W25Q128FV there are some problems.

• FlashDiagnostics completely crahes
• TestFlash is not able to write to Flash properly. Both Page and Word write fail.

Not yet sure whats wrong. These are my iniital findings on the RTL8195.
Need to look into this in detail.

Hmmm... I'll hold off on the release till the end of next week to give you time. Please let me know if you need more time. 🙂

It look like some thing is broken from the SDK side I mean the release 2.0.2 of the tool-chain .
The access to SPI settings is causing a hard fault situation in RTL8195.

I would recommend that we drop official support for RTL8195 as of v3.0.0
So that there is no delay in release.

In the mean time I would work on the development branch to see what exactly went wrong.
Then in the next release if my development side is fixed with RTL8195 specific changes.
We can merge official support for RTL8195 again.

Please take this forward.

Hello !
I haves tested the "stable" branch with W25Q256.
I used the "FlashDiagnostics" sketch.
Everything is OK, here is the serial output :

Great work! 😀

Thanks guys. I'll finish up with updating the API docs / wiki and then get the release out of the door this weekend. 🙂

I have been trying to get the flash to work with RTL8195.
It looks like some dip in power to Flash chip during the Flash Diagnostics .
That was causing issues with flash testing.
I will try get a new board for the W25Q128FV with RTL8195.
Also will try to check the v2.7.0 one more time, since the Flash interface was working at that time.
