hang when trying to play raw files from SPIflash

[Daniel-J]

hello folks:

I'm wondering if anyone has insight into the problem ia having trying to play raw files from spi flash.

I'm using my own board with an SGTL5000 that a Teensy 3.2 plugs into. So far it has worked perfectly to stream WAV files from SD out through the SGTL5000. I've also done wavetable synthesis, so I am thinking that hardware is OK.

Yesterday I added a Spansion S70FL256P0XMFI001 SPI flash. Erase, listfiles and copy from SD to flash all work as expected. It's screaming fast.. 1.2MB per second!

I'm now trying to get the play raw files working form SPI flash, but I am unsuccessful.
Audio files have been exported as signed, little endian, 44.1K 16 bit pcm RAW, and then exported to the newly erased SPI flash from an SD card.
When i run the code below, it always hangs when it gets to the line playFlashRaw1.play(filename).
Code is below. Thanks for any ideas you might have.

  playFlashRaw1.play(filename);
  Serial.print("after the playflashraw command");

  // A brief delay for the library read WAV info
  delay(10);

  // Simply wait for the file to finish playing.

while (playFlashRaw1.isPlaying()) {
  Serial.print("inside the while playing loop");
  delay(100);
    // uncomment these lines if you audio shield

// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
playFile("21.RAW");

One thing I have discovered so far is that the S70FL256P0XMFI001 is a dual die flash chip ( 2 x 128Mbit dies in one package) Therefore it has two chip selects, and each die has to be configured, erased, written and formatted separately. I had the two chip selects tied together. Now I have CS2 tied high, but it's still not working. Getting closer though!

PS it would be good to add the dual die note to the tests file in the Serialflash repository.

Solved. And it only took me 10 or 15 hours to realize that these two lines were missing:

SPI.setSCK(14); // Audio shield has SCK on pin 14
SPI.setMOSI(7); // Audio shield has MOSI on pin 7

The example code ran perfectly because, well, it has those lines.
