Detailed Description

The declarations and functions in this group are used to configure the QSPI controller interface to external flash devices.

The following steps describe how to initialize and configure the QSPI controller to operate with a flash device.

• Wait until any pending QSPI operations have completed.
• Disable the QSPI controller using alt_qspi_disable().
• Configure the device for optimal read transaction performance using alt_qspi_device_read_config_set().
• Configure the device for optimal write transaction performance using alt_qspi_device_write_config_set().
• Enable (alt_qspi_mode_bit_disable()) or disable (alt_qspi_mode_bit_disable()) the mode bits per the device requirements. If mode bits are enabled, then configure the mode bit values using alt_qspi_mode_bit_config_set().
• Configure the device size and write protection information using alt_qspi_device_size_config_set().
• Configure the QSPI device delay and timing settings using alt_qspi_device_write_config_set().
• Configure the baud divisor setting to define the required clock frequency to the device using alt_qspi_baud_rate_div_set().
• Enable the QSPI controller using alt_qspi_enable().
