Hello,

> Does the micron flash define the SCCR SFDP map?

As far as I can tell, it only defines the Basis SPI protocol and the 4-byte Adress Instruction Table.
Dunno when the SCCR SFDP map was added, but this flash only announces JESD216B (SFDP 1.6)

Is there some tool for dumping/decoding the SFDP available?

Best regards,
Alexander

Hardware guys told me this will affect the signal qualitiy when the flash is
sending data. This depends among others on line length. If set incorrectly
voltage overshoots upon 0->1 or 1-> switch might occur. To answer to your
question if the flash will work with incorrect settings: It depends. It might
working the short term, but might fail in the long term.
Also this is completly unrelated to latency.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. I'll do that.

Will do.

Will do.

Well, it's hard to say. It might work, see above. At least this should raise a warning
if setting the driver strength for some reason.

Thanks for that information. I do not have the MT35 datasheet, so I wasn't aware of it.
I'll stick to MT25Q for now, which is the part number my datasheet is for.

Thanks for your feedback.

Best regards,
Alexander
