FMC configuration bug in STM32CubeMX 4.14.0

In STM32CubeMX 4.14.0, I find I can only set the address setup time, data setup time and bus turn around time for NOR/PSRAM timing. Other parameters like ''address hold time'', ''clock division'' and ''data latency'' are fixed to 15, 16 and 17 in the generated code. How CubeMX get these values? I wonder if it's designed to behave this?

My target chip are STM32F429/439IGTx.

Hello diverger, 

I have tested with different configurations and only the ''data latency'' value changed from 2 to 17.- 0000: Data latency of 2 CLK clock cycles for first burst access- 1111: Data latency of 17 CLK clock cycles for first burst access (default value after reset)To have more idea about these parameters and configuration's, you can refer to the

In my design, I configure the ''Memory type'' to ''SRAM'',  and in ''FMC Configuration'' wizard, under the section ''NOR/PSRAM timing'', only three item show, they are ''Address setup time'', ''Data setup time'', and ''Bus turn around time''. But in the source code, apparently we can change more parameters, such as the ''address  hold'' time, but why STM32CubeMX give *less* choice to us? Or the ''address hold'' time is not useful for ''SRAM''?

Posted on March 30, 2016 at 06:27Thanks for your suggestions. After reading the datasheet carefully, I find it states at page 1569 (RM0090, rev. 11):Bits 7:4 ADDHLD[3:0]: Address-hold phase durationThese bits are written by software to define the duration of the address hold phase (refer to Figure 443 to Figure 446), used in mode D and multiplexed accesses...So, I think this parameter is not cared when choose ''SRAM''.
