QSPI commands

nRF7002 supports several Quad Serial Peripheral Interface (QSPI) commands.

Table 1. QSPI commands
Command (byte) RDSR (read status register 0) RDSR1 (read status register 1) RDSR2 (read status register 2) WRSR2 (write status register 2) CIPHER INIT (Initialize cipher) FAST READ (fast read data) READ4 (4 x I/O read command) PP (Page program) PP4 (Quad page program)
1st byte 0x05 0x1F 0x2F 0x3F 0x4F 0x0B 0xEB 0x02 0x38
2nd byte         NONCE1 AD1 ADD (4) and Dummy (4) AD1 ADD (4)
3rd byte         NONCE2 AD2 Dummy (4) AD2  
4th byte         NONCE3 AD3   AD3  
5th byte         NONCE4 Dummy      
Action To read out the values of status register 0 To read out the values of status register 1 To read out the values of status register 2 To write in the values of status register 2 To enable the steam cipher and initialize the NONCE register n bytes read out until SS goes high n bytes read out by 4 x I/O until SS goes high to program the selected page Quad input to program the selected page

For RDSR, RDSR1, RDSR2, FAST_READ, and READ4, the shifted-in instruction sequence is followed by a data-out sequence. After any bit of data being shifted out, the SS can be high.

For CIPHER_INIT, PP, and PP4, the SS must go high exactly at the 4th byte (32 bits) boundary or the value will not be stored.

For WRSR2, the SS must go high exactly at the 1st byte (8 bits) boundary or the value will not be stored.

The following figure shows the timing diagram for the RDSR command. The other commands that access status registers have the same format but with a different 1st byte.
