Teensy 4.0 and w25Q64 Breakout Board

[Harveyn4444]

Description

Describe your problem. I have a breakout board containing a W25Q64 flash chip and have tried to run the raw hardware test.

Steps To Reproduce Problem

Please give detailed instructions needed for anyone to attempt to reproduce the problem. I have the breakout board (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Flash-Storage-Module-W25Q64-64M-bit-SPI-Interface-For-1-PACK/323636815798) found here, with the Do and Di pins set to MISO and MOSO respectively and the example codes cannot read the chip, with the CS pin at 4.

After re uploading the example sketch the program can now read the chip, just after I posted this :), but over the last few days it would not read the chip, ID the chip and not read it but now can read the chip and passes the test, I wired the chip up the exact same every time and just manages to work after I posted the issue.

[Harveyn4444]

I've just unplugged a rewired everything again and get this message <Raw SerialFlash Hardware Test

Read Chip Identification: JEDEC ID: FF FF FF Part Nummber: (unknown chip) Memory Size: 0 bytes

Tests Failed :{

The flash chip may be left in an improper state. You might need to power cycle to return to normal.>

[Harveyn4444]

Also when I try the erase all example it freezes my serial port and outputs nothing, if I unplug the teensy the text is immediately written to the serial output Again the chip seemed to be able to be read by my Teensy LC button. my Teensy 4.0 as I've just been trying again, no idea what could be causing the issue

[Harveyn4444]

It seems to work perfectly with the Teensy LC, just seems to be having issues with The Teensy 4.0

[MatePlaque]

can someone help with this situation were i am getting this when i try to run the above code to the flash chip its just saying Previous data found at address 0 You must fully erase the chip before this test found this: 00 00 00 00 0A FA CA 25 correct: 00 00 00 00 15 F5 95 4B

Tests Failed :{

The flash chip may be left in an improper state. You might need to power cycle to return to normal.

Try shorter wires. SPI is very fast, especially on Teensy 4.0. Long wires can cause problems with very fast signals.
