Hi, I am using the STM32L4R9-Eval board and want to use OCTOSPI flash. Looking at ST's nor flash example for this eval board, it uses OCTOSPI2 interface, but FLASH is connected to OCTPSPI1 interface as per its schematic.

Can anyone please let me know, how is this possible?

U12 is the FLASH

OCTOSPI2​

@Community member​ ,Thanks for your answer.

But by mistake, I have attached the wrong snapshot, corrected it now, and also attaching here:

As per my understanding, U5 is RAM connected to OCTOSPI2 and U6 is FLASH connected to OCTOSPI1 but in the NOR flash example, they are using OCTOSPI2.

Looks like incorrect example, please confirm.

Hello,

well, that looks like a mistake...

Check the BSP drivers for that eval board, it is using OSPI1...

Now it does map/mux via OSPIM to PORT-1, but this is so unnecessary and confusing for users..

Thank you, I completly forgot about the OSPIM on the L4+. :downcast_face_with_sweat:
