how to get started with MX25R6425R  in nRF SDK 15.2 , for this I have used qspi example in peripheral I want to write  data and read it 

[azwin]

hi thank you , yes i have some questions , i want to read ID of Mx25R6435 as well i want to write some custom data  and read it . in the QSPI example when we run i can see the data consistent & random values . please clarify the output of the QSPI example .

Hi

There is a quick description of the example here.

The log output after running the example should look like this:

<info> app: QSPI write and read example using 24bit addressing mode
<info> app: QSPI example started.
<info> app: Process of erasing first block start
<info> app: Process of writing data start
<info> app: Data read
<info> app: Compare...
<info> app: Data consistent

 

This confirms that the memory module has been erased, then written random data, and finally the data is read back to verify that the write operation went fine. 

As you say the example uses random values, but you can just change the content of the m_buffer_tx buffer if you want to write something else.

Do you know the opcode for reading the ID?

If you look at the configure_memory() function in the example you can see how custom instructions can be sent:

uint32_t err_code;
nrf_qspi_cinstr_conf_t cinstr_cfg = {
    .opcode    = QSPI_STD_CMD_RSTEN,
    .length    = NRF_QSPI_CINSTR_LEN_1B,
    .io2_level = true,
    .io3_level = true,
    .wipwait   = true,
    .wren      = true
};

// Send reset enable
err_code = nrf_drv_qspi_cinstr_xfer(&cinstr_cfg, NULL, NULL);
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

You should be able to read the ID in a similar fashion, just make sure to update the opcode and length, and to provide an RX buffer to read out the response.
