Hi

HI, I have developed an application for the nRF5232, using NCS 1.7.0. so i need to add the external flash.

I would need a working example running OTA with external flash, with hardware like Pine Watch

Thanks for your help.

Hi Fausto

Unfortunately we don't have an example like this available, as we generally recommend using the nRF52840 or nRF5340 and the QSPi peripheral for communication with external flash devices, as "regular" SPI will be quite slow to use for communication with an external flash device.

You can check out this case, where my colleague Torbjørn and another DevZone user goes through the initial setup of something like this. They've even added some sample code I think you could use if you plan on using the nrfx_spim driver (which is what we'd recommend if you're not going to use QSPI and the nRF52840).

Best regards,

Simon
