to any other value than 0, the FMC chip select (FMC_NEx) toggles between the
consecutive accesses. This feature is required when interfacing with FRAM memory.
• AHB transaction size is smaller than the memory size:
The transfer may or not be consistent depending on the type of external device:
– Accesses to devices that have the byte select feature (SRAM, ROM, PSRAM)
In this case, the FMC allows read/write transactions and accesses the right data
through its byte lanes NBL[1:0].
Bytes to be written are addressed by NBL[1:0].
All memory bytes are read (NBL[1:0] are driven low during read transaction) and
the useless ones are discarded.
– Accesses to devices that do not have the byte select feature (NOR and NAND
Flash memories)
This situation occurs when a byte access is requested to a 16-bit wide Flash
memory. Since the device cannot be accessed in Byte mode (only 16-bit words
can be read/written from/to the Flash memory), Write transactions and Read
transactions are allowed (the controller reads the entire 16-bit memory word and
uses only the required byte).
Wrap support for NOR Flash/PSRAM
Wrap burst mode for synchronous memories is not supported. The memories must be
configured in Linear burst mode of undefined length.
Configuration registers
The FMC can be configured through a set of registers. Refer to Section 19.6.6, for a
detailed description of the NOR Flash/PSRAM controller registers. Refer to Section 19.7.7,
for a detailed description of the NAND Flash registers.
19.5 External device address mapping
From the FMC point of view, the external memory is divided into fixed-size banks of
256 Mbytes each (see Figure 53):
• Bank 1 used to address up to 4 NOR Flash memory or PSRAM devices. This bank is
split into 4 NOR/PSRAM subbanks with 4 dedicated chip selects, as follows:
– Bank 1 - NOR/PSRAM 1
– Bank 1 - NOR/PSRAM 2
– Bank 1 - NOR/PSRAM 3
– Bank 1 - NOR/PSRAM 4
• Bank 3 used to address NAND Flash memory devices.The MPU memory attribute for
this space must be reconfigured by software to Device.
For each bank the type of memory to be used can be configured by the user application
through the Configuration register.
