What register should we access to control FlexNVM on FTFE

Hiroki — Wed, 09 Jul 2014 06:42:13 GMT

Hi,

FMC has 2 control registers for P-Flash bank 0 - 4 (FMC_PFB01CR and FMC_PFB23CR).

However, there is no description of the register for controlling D-Flash (FlexNVM) bank 0 and 1.

What register affects FlexNVM protection and performance enhance configurations?

Best Regards,

Hiroki

Hi,

The FlexNVM flash protection setting is located at FTFL_FEPROT and FTFL_FDPROT registers, which will be loaded value to those register from Flash configuration field during chip reset.

FTFL_FEPROT will be loaded from flash address 0x40e;

FTFL_FDPROT will be loaded from flash address 0x40f.

FMC provides three separate mechanisms for accelerating the interface between the device and the flash memory, whatever the code read data from PFLASH or DFLASH.

Wish it help.

best regards,
Ma Hui

FMC_PFB23CR controls the cache, single entry buffer and prefetch buffer enable for P-Flash 2-3 block.

I'd like to know which equivalent register can control these cache, single entry buffer and prefetch buffer enable for D-Flash?

Hi Hiroki,

FMC module as an interface module can access both P Flash and FlexNVM. The FMC_PFB01CR and FMC_PFB23CR also works for FlexNVM memory.

Please check below picture for more detailed info:

Hi Ma Hui,

Would you say user can control the cache and prefetch buffer for D-Flash bank 0-1 by FMC_PFB23CR?

Hi Hiroki,

Yes, customer can use FMC_PFB23CR to control cache and prefetch buffer for D-Flash.

Wish it helps.
