Thanks for pointing this out!

I've removed the foboot-main directory and moved it to a branch.

The general thought was that there would be a simple foboot ROM that gets shipped as part of the default SPI image, but a larger and more complex "Foboot Main" could live on SPI flash. If the boot ROM detected a magic number on the main SPI, it would jump to that.

Foboot Main would present a UF2 filesystem or similar interface. The exact specifics of which were never ironed out.

Early on in the life of Fomu, it used the PicoRvSpi block for doing XIP spi. This was deprecated in favour of the litex SPI block which was more resource-efficient (if a bit slower).

Foboot Main had rotted to the point where it was no longer usable. As you noted, it wasn't even using the correct bit-bang SPI driver.

Since it still may be of academic interest to someone, I'll keep it as a branch (https://github.com/im-tomu/foboot/tree/foboot-main/foboot-main) but I'll remove it from the main branch to prevent future confusion.

According to BOOT-SEQUENCE.md, CFM_EN is 0x4.

FWIW, the same typo also exists in sw/src/main.c
