Quad-SPI interface (QUADSPI) RM0351

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.
In case of match, the status match flag is set and an interrupt is generated if enabled, and
the QUADSPI can be automatically stopped if the AMPS bit is set.
In any case, the latest retrieved value is available in the QUADSPI_DR.
Memory-mapped mode
In memory-mapped mode, the external Flash memory is seen as internal memory but with
some latency during accesses. Only read operations are allowed to the external Flash
memory in this mode.
Memory-mapped mode is entered by setting the FMODE to 11 in the QUADSPI_CCR
register.
The programmed instruction and frame is sent when an AHB master is accessing the
memory mapped space.
The FIFO is used as a prefetch buffer to anticipate linear reads. Any access to
QUADSPI_DR in this mode returns zero.
The data length register (QUADSPI_DLR) has no meaning in memory-mapped mode.
15.3.11 Sending the instruction only once
Some Flash memories (e.g. Winbound) might provide a mode where an instruction must be
sent only with the first command sequence, while subsequent commands start directly with
the address. One can take advantage of such a feature using the SIOO bit
(QUADSPI_CCR[28]).
SIOO is valid for all functional modes (indirect, automatic polling, and memory-mapped). If
the SIOO bit is set, the instruction is sent only for the first command following a write to
QUADSPI_CCR. Subsequent command sequences skip the instruction phase, until there is
a write to QUADSPI_CCR.
SIOO has no effect when IMODE = 00 (no instruction).
15.3.12 QUADSPI error management
A error can be generated in the following case:
• In indirect mode or status flag polling mode when a wrong address has been
programmed in the QUADSPI_AR (according to the Flash memory size defined by
