Power supply for PCB is 1,8V, so we tried to use APS6404L-SQRH. Unfortunately, APS does not provide a h05 command to read memory status</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 22 Nov 2024 11:02:36 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/116640/nrf5340-qspi-compatible-ram-chip" /><item><title>RE: nRF5340 QSPI compatible RAM chip</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/511625?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 22 Nov 2024 11:02:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:7afcf294-e78c-4e7a-b6d6-d6959cdc2aeb</guid><dc:creator>Turbo J</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;The QSPI peripherial cannot be used as RAM, it can only be used as ROM in XIP mode.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Read the PS, this peripherial is tailored for NOR flash usage and (almost) nothing else.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Use NRF54H series if you needed more &lt;em&gt;RAM&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You could try using the QSPI &amp;quot;custom instruction&amp;quot; registers for writing, but this would very likely need custom code instead of using the shipped drivers. Note that I did not bother reading datasheets to be able to tell if thats even &lt;em&gt;possible&lt;/em&gt; - that would trigger my hourly rates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the chip supported regular 1-bit SPI mode - just use a normal SPIM to read/write data manually.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
