SPI/QSPI Dual flash connection modes:
|
||
|
|
=====================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This describes how SPI/QSPI flash memories are connected to a given
|
||
|
|
controller in a single chip select line.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Current spi_flash framework supports, single flash memory connected
|
||
|
|
to a given controller with single chip select line, but there are some
|
||
|
|
hw logics(ex: xilinx zynq qspi) that describes two/dual memories are
|
||
|
|
connected with a single chip select line from a controller.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"dual_flash" from include/spi.h describes these types of connection mode
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Possible connections:
|
||
|
|
--------------------
|
||
|
|
SF_SINGLE_FLASH:
|
||
|
|
- single spi flash memory connected with single chip select line.

SF_DUAL_STACKED_FLASH:
|
||
|
|
- dual spi/qspi flash memories are connected with a single chipselect
|
||
|
|
line and these two memories are operating stacked fasion with shared buses.
|
||
|
|
- xilinx zynq qspi controller has implemented this feature [1]

|

|
|
+------------+ +---------------+
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- two memory flash devices should has same hw part attributes (like size,
|
||
|
|
vendor..etc)
|
||
|
|
- Configurations:
|
||
|
|
on LQSPI_CFG register, Enable TWO_MEM[BIT:30] on LQSPI_CFG
|
||
|
|
Enable U_PAGE[BIT:28] if U_PAGE flag set - upper memory
|
||
|
|
Disable U_PAGE[BIT:28] if U_PAGE flag unset - lower memory
|
||
|
|
- Operation:
|
||
|
|
accessing memories serially like one after another.
|
||
|
|
by default, if U_PAGE is unset lower memory should accessible,
|
||
|
|
once user wants to access upper memory need to set U_PAGE.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SPI_FLASH_CONN_DUALPARALLEL:
|
||
|
|
- dual spi/qspi flash memories are connected with a single chipselect
|
||
|
|
line and these two memories are operating parallel with separate buses.
|
||
|
|
- xilinx zynq qspi controller has implemented this feature [1]

|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- two memory flash devices should has same hw part attributes (like size,
|
||
|
|
vendor..etc)
|
||
|
|
- Configurations:
|
||
|
|
Need to enable SEP_BUS[BIT:29],TWO_MEM[BIT:30] on LQSPI_CFG register.
|
||
|
|
- Operation:
|
||
|
|
Even bits, i.e. bit 0, 2, 4 ., of a data word is located in the lower memory
|
||
|
|
and odd bits, i.e. bit 1, 3, 5, ., of a data word is located in the upper memory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: Technically there is only one CS line from the controller, but
|
||
|
|
zynq qspi controller has an internal hw logic to enable additional CS
|
||
|
|
when controller is configured for dual memories.
