4. Configuring for a Different SPI Flash Device
This chapter explains how to configure a different Flash device in the Zephyr BSP. Specifically, the GD25WB256E Flash device installed on the Thingy-9151-Lite platform is used as an example.
...
4.1. Obtaining JEDEC Info
First step when setting a new SPI Flash is to obtain information about it. To do so, we need to create a minimally required description of the Flash. Let’s start with the following overlay:
...
| Code Block |
|---|
/* Deactivate predefined flash node for SPI flash installed on DK */
&gd25wb256 {
status = "disable";
};
&arduino_spi {
/* Insert node for new device */
newspi: newdevice@1 {
compatible = "jedec,spi-nor";
status = "ok";
reg = <1>;
spi-max-frequency = <8000000>;
jedec-id = [c8 65 19];
size = <268435456>;
has-dpd;
t-enter-dpd = <3000>;
t-exit-dpd = <40000>;
sfdp-bfp = [

];
};
};
/* Use new device in choosen and aliases */
/ {
chosen {
nordic,pm-ext-flash = &newspi;
};
aliases {
spi-flash0 = &newspi;
ext-flash = &newspi;
};

4.2. Configuring for Different SPI Flash Device with QSPI support on nRF5340
The nRF5340 MCU includes a QSPI controller that allows to use faster Flash devices in dual and quad SPI mode.
