Wait a minute, on SoCFPGA, the flashbase is 0xffa00000, and the trigger
base is 0x00000000. The point of having a different address was that
they needed to be different on SoCFPGA, right?

As for why they're different, the Altera Cyclone5 SoCFPGA has a complex
multilevel interconnect where the QSPI is three levels down, and is the
only slave of an AHB master. At that level of the interconnect, the
base address has long been stripped off, it was used to select down to
the final master. The QSPI is the only thing on that AHB bus, so its
address is zero. Or at least that's how I understand it.
