QSPI — Quad serial peripheral interface

The QSPI peripheral provides support for communicating with an external flash memory device using SPI.

Listed here are the main features for the QSPI peripheral:

Single/dual/quad SPI input/output
6–96 MHz configurable clock frequency
Single-word read/write access from/to external flash
EasyDMA for block read and write transfers
Up to 48 MB/sec EasyDMA read rate
Execute in place (XIP) for executing program directly from external flash
XIP access can optionally be disabled
On-the-fly encryption and decryption, including EasyDMA and XIP

Configuring peripheral

Before any data can be transferred to or from the external flash memory, the peripheral needs to be configured.

Select input/output pins in PSEL.SCK, PSEL.CSN, PSEL.IO0, PSEL.IO1, PSEL.IO2, and PSEL.IO3. See Reference circuitry for the recommended pins.
To ensure stable operation, set the GPIO drive strength to “high drive”. See the GPIO — General purpose input/output chapter for details on how to configure GPIO drive strength.
Configure the interface towards the external flash memory using IFCONFIG0, IFCONFIG1, and ADDRCONF.
Enable the QSPI peripheral and acquire I/O pins using ENABLE.
Activate the external flash memory interface using the ACTIVATE task. The READY event will be generated when the interface has been activated and the external flash memory is ready for access.

Important:

If the IFCONFIG0 register is configured to use the quad mode, the external flash device also needs to be set in the quad mode before any data transfers can take place.

This can be done by sending custom instructions to the external flash device, as described in Sending custom instructions.

Write operation

A write operation to the external flash is configured using the WRITE.DST, WRITE.SRC, and WRITE.CNT registers and started using the WRITESTART task.

The READY event is generated when the transfer is complete.

The QSPI peripheral automatically takes care of splitting DMA transfers into page writes.

Read operation

A read operation from the external flash is configured using the READ.SRC, READ.DST, and READ.CNT registers and started using the READSTART task.

The READY event is generated when the transfer is complete.

Erase operation

Erase of pages/blocks of the external flash is configured using the ERASE.PTR and ERASE.LEN registers and started using the ERASESTART task.

The READY event is generated when the erase operation has been started.

Note that in this case the READY event will not indicate that the erase operation of the flash has been completed, but it only signals that the erase operation has been started. The actual status of the erase operation can normally be read from the external flash using a custom instruction, see Sending custom instructions.

Execute in place

Execute in place (XIP) allows the CPU to execute program code directly from the external flash.

After the external flash has been configured, the CPU can execute code from the external flash by accessing the XIP memory region. See the figure below and Memory for details.

Note that the XIP memory region is read-only, writing to it will result in a bus error.

When accessing the XIP memory region, the start address of this XIP memory region will map to the address XIPOFFSET of the external flash.

Figure 2. XIP memory map

Encryption

The contents of an external flash memory can be protected using stream cipher encryption. Encryption can be configured and enabled independently for XIP and EasyDMA, with separate keys and nonce.

Once configured and enabled, the stream cipher operates between the AHB bus and the external flash, encrypting and decrypting data passing through.

Figure Figure 3 shows the stream cipher block with the three configuration registers. The stream cipher uses an AES 128 encryption operation to form the keystream from key, nonce and external memory address. The keystream then combines each 32-bit plaintext digit one at a time with the corresponding digit of the keystream.

Figure 3. Stream cipher

Note: The same nonce and key must be used for both encryption and decryption of the same memory address.

The memory address used for encryption is the external flash memory address and thus independent of XIPOFFSET. This means a second firmware image can be encrypted and written using EasyDMA, then XIPOFFSET set to point to the new firmware image before executing from it.

Note: Stream ciphers are symmetric. They do not differentiate between encrypting or decrypting, reading or writing. Thus, if the contents of a plain text external flash is read when stream cipher is enabled, the data provided to the MCU are encrypted.

Execute in place (XIP)

Stream cipher for QSPI XIP is enabled by

Configuring keys using XIP_ENC.KEY0 through XIP_ENC.KEY3
Configuring nonce using XIP_ENC.NONCE0 through XIP_ENC.NONCE2
Setting XIP_ENC.ENABLE

Any instructions or data read from the XIP interface will now pass through the stream cipher.

EasyDMA

Stream cipher for QSPI EasyDMA is enabled by

Configuring keys using DMA_ENC.KEY0 through DMA_ENC.KEY3
Configuring nonce using DMA_ENC.NONCE0 through DMA_ENC.NONCE2
Setting DMA_ENC.ENABLE

Any data read from, or written to, the external flash over the EasyDMA interface will now pass through the stream cipher.

Sending custom instructions

Custom instructions can be sent to the external flash using the CINSTRCONF, CINSTRDAT0, and CINSTRDAT1 registers. It is possible to send an instruction consisting of a one-byte opcode and up to 8 bytes of additional data and to read its response.

A custom instruction is prepared by first writing the data to be sent to CINSTRDAT0 and CINSTRDAT1 before writing the opcode and other configurations to the CINSTRCONF register.

The custom instruction is sent when the CINSTRCONF register is written and it is always sent on a single data line SPI interface.

The READY event will be generated when the custom instruction has been sent.

After a custom instruction has been sent, the CINSTRDAT0 and CINSTRDAT1 will contain the response bytes from the custom instruction.

Data of custom instructions are not part of the stream cipher encryption.

Figure 4. Sending custom instruction

Long frame mode

The LFEN and LFSTOP fields in the CINSTRCONF control the operation of the custom instruction long frame mode. The long frame mode is a mechanism that permits arbitrary byte length custom instructions. While in long frame mode a long custom instruction sequence is split in multiple writes to the CINSTRDAT0 and CINSTRDAT1 registers.

To enable the long frame mode every write to the CINSTRCONF register must have the LFEN field set to 1. The contents of the OPCODE field will be transmitted after the first write to CINSTRCONF and will be omitted in every subsequent write to this register. For subsequent writes the number of data bytes as specified in the LENGTH field are transferred (that is the value of LENGTH - 1 data bytes). The values of the LIO2 and LIO3 fields are set in the first write to CINSTRCONF and will apply for the entire custom instruction transmission until the long frame is finalized.

To finalize a long frame transmission, the LFSTOP field in CINSTRCONF must be set to 1 in the last write to this register.

Deep power-down mode

The external flash memory can be put in deep power-down mode (DPM) to minimize its current consumption when there is no need to access the memory.

DPM is enabled in the IFCONFIG0 register and configured in the DPMDUR register. The DPM status of the external memory can be read in the STATUS register. The DPMDUR register has to be configured according to the external flash specification to get the information in the STATUS register and the timing of the READY event correct.

Entering/exiting DPM is controlled using the IFCONFIG1 register.
