It's named dual-flash, but what if you want to use QSPI to connect for example to FPGA? Also how is this related to parallel-memories property? Best regards, Krzysztof

I called it "dual-flash" simply because it enable the dual flash feature of the QSPI block (bit CR_DFM : Dual Flash Mode) which allows to use the 8 lines simultaneously of our dual QSPI block.

Maybe I was not specific enough, so let me rephrase - we have already parallel-memories property. How this one is different (to justify the new property)? Is just one memory connected in your case to QSPI over 8 data lines? Best regards, Krzysztof

Our QSPI block is a dual Quad-SPI memory interface, it can managed 2 QSPI flashes independently. There is a specific mode, dual flash mode, where the 2 QSPI flashes can be accessed simultaneously using 8 data lines. In this case, both throughput and capacity are two fold with this mode. To illustrate, you can have a look at STM32MP157 reference manual (chapter 27.3.1 figure 172) available here: https://www.st.com/resource/en/reference_manual/rm0436-stm32mp157-advanced-armbased-32bit-mpus-stmicroelectronics.pdf As you mentioned above, the goal is to connect a FPGA to this 8 lines bus. Hope it clarifies enough ;-) Thanks Patrice > > Best regards, > Krzysztof

Based on the explanation above, it looks like you want to use existing parallel-memories property. Please use that one, instead of adding a new property for the same feature. Best regards, Krzysztof

Okay, got it, i didn't notice the parallel-memories property recently added. Thanks for pointing it. Patrice > > Best regards, > Krzysztof
