Hello @taeun;
The dummy cycles "s_command.DummyCycles = MT25TL01G_DUMMY_CYCLES_READ_QUAD_DTR - 1;" depend on the QSPI clock frequency and on parts specification as mentioned in the memory datasheet.

In the ExtMem_boot case QSPI clock is 50 MHz, that why dummy cycles are 5.

For MT25TL01G_DUMMY_CYCLES_READ_QUAD_DTR as 6U definition is contradictory with the memory datasheet, I reported internally.

Thank you.
