Hi,
I am trying to interface External Flash (IS25LP064A ) using SPI example in SDK v16. I am able to read the Manufacturer_ID and the device ID from the external flash. Now I want to Read, write and Erase the flash. But I am unable to do so. Please tell me if any example is there or the way how to do that .
Please give any example code to interface SPI flash.
HI Amanda,
Here is my complete code. and here is the data sheet. http://www.issi.com/WW/pdf/25LP032-64A-B.pdf. I am trying to read and write data to flash. But I am unable to write or read. Also I am unable to set the WEL using WREN command. The only output I am getting after reading a status register or any adress is 0. Please let me know what's the missing things in my code. Please help me with any example code if u have or please let me know what is wrong or missing in my code.

Hi,
Mushtakh Shaikh said:I am unable to set the WEL using WREN command.
Did you get any error, out log, or logic trance of the SPI bus for the write_enable()?
Mushtakh Shaikh said:The only output I am getting after reading a status register or any adress is 0.
Could you try to increase the rx_buffer_length to 4 as this suggestion?
-Amanda H.
After write_enable, I am getting the following output.
RDID_3 Transfer Successful
Flash_ID_3: 0
Manufacturer_ID: 9d Memory_Type : 60, Capacity:17
Write_enable_err_code : 0
WREN Transfer Successful
After write_enable, I am getting the following output.
RDID_3 Transfer Successful
Flash_ID_3: 0
Manufacturer_ID: 9d Memory_Type : 60, Capacity:17
Write_enable_err_code : 0
WREN Transfer Successful
This is the output when after read_status_register();
I have changed the rx_buffer_length to 4 as per your suggestion.Still I am unable to write the data to flash and read the data from flash. Please help me with any code example if u have.
Status_Reg_Err_code : 0
Rdsr-stat: 00
Rdsd stat 00
RDSR Transfer Successful
Hi,
Can u please tell me what went wrong in my code ??
Did you change the code to
printf("Rdsr-stat: %02X\n",spi_rx_cmd[2]);
printf("Rdsd stat %02X\n",spi_rx_cmd[3]);
after increasing rx_buffer_length to 4?
-Amanda H.
Yes I did that too. But Still not able to write and read the data to and from the external flash.
Can u please provide any sample code that will help?.
I would suggest using a scope or analyzer on the SPI bus to check.
As I said at first, I don't think we have an example for that flash. You might search other flash cases on DZ for reference.
-Amanda H.
