In general, you want to make your SCK line a bit longer than others... if you expect it's a trace length issue, what you could do is lower your SPI flash speed from 80MHz to something lower (20MHz), if it works then, you're looking at a timing problem.

Hi ESP_Sprite!

I tried lowering the speed to 40 and 20 MHz but that didn't make any difference.

However, I tried using more of these flash chips and it turns out some of my conclusions were wrong:

When using Macronix MX25R3235FM2IH0 I can only get it to work in DIO, both for first and second stage bootloader.

But both Gigadevice GD25LQ32DSIGR or ISSI IS25WP032D-JBLE work fine when using QIO in 2nd stage bootloader and QOUT (or DIO) in first stage. If I flash with --flash_mode qio I get this:

rst:0x10 (RTCWDT_RTC_RESET),boot:0x13 (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT)
configsip: 0, SPIWP:0xee
clk_drv:0x00,q_drv:0x00,d_drv:0x00,cs0_drv:0x00,hd_drv:0x00,wp_drv:0x00
mode:QIO, clock div:1
load:0x3fff0030,len:5560
load:0xffffffff,len:-1

Any idea why Macronix refuses to use anything other then DIO? And why can't I use QIO with GD and ISSI for 1st stage bootloader? Should I even bother with it, ie. what kind of improvement will I get from it?
