 I am using nRF Connect SDK v2.8.0 and nRF54L15-DK. 
 I am about to design custom hardware and have a question. 
 For Matter, I am trying to use the following pins for QSPI (SPIM00) to connect to an external Flash:

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you very much!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Question: Can QSPI and SPIM be used simultaneously?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/515317?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 17 Dec 2024 15:33:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:136c7a76-2b4d-4a4d-9f9d-783f271d0c1f</guid><dc:creator>Kazi Afroza Sultana</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, it is possible.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These pins are for external flash.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="max-height:240px;max-width:320px;" src="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/4/4111.pastedimage1734449097735v2.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ug_nrf54l15_dk/page/UG/nRF54L15_DK/hw_desription/external_memory.html#ariaid-title1"&gt;External memory&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And the pins you selected for external MCU also looks ok according to pin assignments of nR54L15. None of the pins are collide to one another.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But it is also mentioned here in this section of cross-power domain notes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#39;&amp;#39;&lt;span&gt;Selected pins of P2 can be used for some serial interfaces in the peripheral domain — SPIM, SPIS, and UARTE. This is not the most power-efficient way of connecting these serial interfaces but adds flexibility when designing a circuit board. When setting up the peripheral&amp;#39;s PSEL register for cross-domain connections, it must be connected only to the corresponding function listed in the pin assignments table. For example, the peripheral&amp;#39;s PSEL.MOSI register must use the P2 MOSI pin from the pin assignment table. The pin assignments table shows which pins can be configured for cross power-domain connections.&amp;#39;&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;So, you have to consider these issues also.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;NB: You can look at the memory requirements of Matter here&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/protocols/matter/getting_started/hw_requirements.html"&gt;Matter hardware and memory requirements&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Thanks,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;BR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Kazi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
