Hi,

we want to use the STM32F469IEH controller which has 512kB of Flash Memory. The Reference Manual does not show any Flash Layout of the 512kB Flash. I assume that it has the Layout of the 1MB Flash Memory with 1x512kB Bank.

Is that right?I need to be sure.

If not, what is the actual flash layout of this device?

It would be good, if this could be written into the next version of the Reference Manual.

Kind regards

Andreas

    It is exactly the same as the 1MB part, just less 128KB blocks on the back end

    ie 4x16KB, 1x64KB, and 3x128KB

    One more question - as manual ommits the details.

    Does it still support dual bank operations ?

    Hi,

    the Dual Bank bit in

    http://www.st.com/content/ccc/resource/technical/document/reference_manual/29/77/09/5a/b1/60/4e/bd/DM00127514.pdf/files/DM00127514.pdf/jcr:content/translations/en.DM00127514.pdf

    seems to be dedicated to 1 Mbyte Flash memory devices (DB1M). In a nutshell:
    • 2 Mbyte Flash memory devices have de-facto a dual bank organization,
    • 1 Mbyte Flash memory devices can be configured as single bank or dual bank thanks to DB1M bit,
    • by deduction, 512 Kbytes Flash memory devices are single banked.

    With STM32 ST-LINK Utility,  'Target/Option Bytes...' menu can be used to read/write the STM32 options bytes. The DB1M option byte should be grayed (as well as the BFB2 option byte) for STM32F469IE.

    Kind regards

    Bruno
