FS26 SPI communication

vinaykl — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 05:01:37 GMT

Hello Team,

I was trying to make FS26 SBC in Standby mode by sending 0xAA and 0x55 to FS_LP_REQ register. But SBC is not entering Standby mode. Kindly need your support in understanding. If possible please share me fs26 SPI communication document. How I can enter Standby mode in SBC?

Adding SPI communication, I tried to make SBC to enter Standby mode.

Thanx and regards,

Vinay

The SPI communication is covered in the datasheet

15.6 SPI communication
15.5 Wake-up sources
16 Register mapping

Hello Vinaykl,

sending these two bytes alone is not enough. FS26 will reject the Standby request if one required condition is missing.

What must be done BEFORE sending 0xAA + 0x55

1. A valid wake‑up source must be enabled

If no wake‑up source is configured in M_WIO_CONFIG, FS26 refuses to enter Standby and returns to INIT_FS.
Allowed sources: WAKE1, WAKE2, GPIO1, GPIO2, LDT, or SPI wake‑up.

2. Command timing must be < 10 ms

Your timing looks correct, but FS26 requires strictly:

First write: FS_LP_REQ = 0xAA
Within 10 ms: FS_LP_REQ = 0x55

If the second command is late → FS26 jumps back to INIT_FS (not Standby).

3. Device must already be in INIT_FS or NORMAL mode

Standby request is ignored in:

Debug mode
Fail‑Safe mode
Power‑up sequence
If RSTB is low
If ABIST/LBIST not completed

4. Your SPI frame must include the correct FS26 CRC

The image shows only the data bytes, but FS26 requires:

[ M/FS | Address | R/W | Data_MSB | Data_LSB | CRC ]

Most likely reason in your capture: A wake‑up source is NOT enabled.

This is the most common reason:
Without a valid wake source, the FS26 will not enter Standby, even though 0xAA and 0x55 are correct. Please enable the wake up source in the M_WIO_CFG register.

With Best Regards,

Jozef
