Hi Team,
I am working on board design using STM32H745 (LQFP176 package), and I would like to confirm the correct external memory selection for my smart kitchen application.
Application details:
- MCU: STM32H745 (dual core)
- Package: LQFP176
- USB OTG FS used as HOST to interface a USB camera
- Camera usage: Snapshot (JPEG only, no continuous video streaming)
- Current: 2MP
- Future plan: up to 5MP snapshot
- Additional peripherals:
- I2S (audio codec interface)
- 4× I2C buses
- UART / RS485
- 2× SPI
For external memory, can I use QSPI PSRAM (APS6404L 8MB), or should I use SDRAM via FMC?
Please advise which memory type is recommended. Any guidance or recommended reference designs would be helpful.

Hello @Sakthi_IND;
To check if the memory is supported with QUADSPI interface, I recommend you to look at Overall FAQs for QUADSPI/OCTOSPI/HSPI/XSPI - STMicroelectronics Community precisely "1.1 How to check whether a device is supported"
Also you can find some example in this article some examples of memories used in ST official boards for STM32.
For hardware recommendations, I advise you to refer 6L2S_Outjob schematic and Getting started with STM32H74xI/G and STM32H75xI/G MCU hardware development - Application note
Thank you.

Hello @Sakthi_IND ,
Could you please clarify what relation between the title "Smart kitchen" and the content of your post?
