36.6.1 External memory interface signals
The following tables list the signals that are typically used to interface NAND Flash and PC
Card.
Note: Prefix “N”. specifies the associated signal as active low.
8-bit NAND Flash

There is no theoretical capacity limitation as the FSMC can manage as many address
cycles as needed.
