Features Supported

The controller driver will be exclusive to GQSPI including API’s to be used for configuring the host controller and transmitting the data.

Commands Supported:

The following list of basic commands are supported by the Standalone driver:
  1. Read Identification
  2. Read Page
  3. Program Page
  4. Erase (Chip/Die/Bulk Erase)
  5. Read Status
  6. Lock/Unlock

Controller Features Supported:

The following features are supported in the QSPI Standalone driver.
  1. DMA access (aligned address only)
  2. IO access
  3. Control of two chip selects/bus
  4. Configurable clock
  5. Configurable bus width
  6. Byte Mirror/Stripe operations
  7. Interrupts – will be chosen and enabled internally

Example Applications:

  1. Generic register read/write operations
  2. 3 byte and 4 byte addressing
  3. Flash configurations illustrated in examples – Single, Dual Stacked, Dual Parallel

Known issues and Limitations

The standalone driver supports GenericQSPI(GQSPI) not Linear QSPI(LQSPI)
