can I use an external flash and RAM at the same time on STM32wb55

I'm trying to add an external FLASH and RAM to the STM32WB55, but he doesn't have an FMC or FSMC, and all resources a could find related to this subject use the FMC peripheral, there is any way to use the external RAM and FLASH in the same time?

should I use 1 QSPI for both of them?

No.

You can only use one, the design is optimized for a QSPI NOR Flash, allows for execute-in-place.

What kind of FLASH/RAM resources does your application need?

hey, thank you for your reply

I'm looking for an extra 1 Mb of RAM and more than 4 Mb of flash.

what do you think is the solution?

I can optimize the flash because I will use it for a GUI product.

Mb bit

MB Byte

What do you need 1MB of RAM for?

Perhaps look to a display/controller with it's own on-board frame buffer memory, and which you can communicate with via SPI.

Consider pairing with another MCU with more flash, ram, and capabilities.
