You can find the document at here (https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_US/pdfs/literature/ug/ug_embedded_ip.pdf) Chapter 42.Page 407. For the soft IP issue, i've requested hardware engineer to come out the solution. So in the mean way, our driver will NOT support Micron flashes until hardware fix is completed. Hence, i just submitted version 5 for this driver with eliminating micron device support. Hope this version will get ACKed by you.
