RM0440 Quad-SPI interface (QUADSPI)

When writing the control register (QUADSPI_CR) the user specifies the following settings:
• The enable bit (EN) set to ‘1’
• The DMA enable bit (DMAEN) for transferring data to/from RAM
• Timeout counter enable bit (TCEN)
• Sample shift setting (SSHIFT)
• FIFO threshold level (FTRHES) to indicate when the FTF flag should be set
• Interrupt enables
• Automatic polling mode parameters: match mode and stop mode (valid when
FMODE = 11)
• Clock prescaler
When writing the communication configuration register (QUADSPI_CCR) the user specifies
the following parameters:
• The instruction byte through the INSTRUCTION bits
• The way the instruction has to be sent through the IMODE bits (1/2/4 lines)
• The way the address has to be sent through the ADMODE bits (None/1/2/4 lines)
• The address size (8/16/24/32-bit) through the ADSIZE bits
• The way the alternate bytes have to be sent through the ABMODE (None/1/2/4 lines)
• The alternate bytes number (1/2/3/4) through the ABSIZE bits
• The presence or not of dummy bytes through the DBMODE bit
• The number of dummy bytes through the DCYC bits
• The way the data have to be sent/received (None/1/2/4 lines) through the DMODE bits
If neither the address register (QUADSPI_AR) nor the data register (QUADSPI_DR) need to
be updated for a particular command, then the command sequence starts as soon as
QUADSPI_CCR is written. This is the case when both ADMODE and DMODE are 00, or if
just ADMODE = 00 when in indirect read mode (FMODE = 01).
When an address is required (ADMODE is not 00) and the data register does not need to be
written (when FMODE = 01 or DMODE = 00), the command sequence starts as soon as the
address is updated with a write to QUADSPI_AR.
In case of data transmission (FMODE = 00 and DMODE! = 00), the communication start is
triggered by a write in the FIFO through QUADSPI_DR.
Status flag polling mode
The status flag polling mode is enabled setting the FMODE field (QUADSPI_CCR[27:26]) to
10. In this mode, the programmed frame will be sent and the data retrieved periodically.
The maximum amount of data read in each frame is 4 bytes. If more data is requested in
QUADSPI_DLR, it will be ignored and only 4 bytes will be read.
The periodicity is specified in the QUADSPI_PISR register.
Once the status data has been retrieved, it can internally be processed i order to:
• set the status match flag and generate an interrupt if enabled
• stop automatically the periodic retrieving of the status bytes
The received value can be masked with the value stored in the QUADSPI_PSMKR and
ORed or ANDed with the value stored in the QUADSPI_PSMAR.
