OSPI in QSPI mode, issue with sending address

[TimJones]

I'm importing some QSPI code we've been using a few years from an SMT32F7xx project to a new project using an STM32L4xx. Both projects use the same target device. I'm having an issue where the majority of messages don't seem to be sent. After debugging with a logic analyzer the behavior I'm seeing is that if I send a message where 

	sCommand.AddressMode = HAL_OSPI_ADDRESS_NONE;

then it sends correctly. For any other value of AddressMode, none of the signals change at all when the command is executed. 

For example the following message sends correctly:

    sCommand.OperationType = HAL_OSPI_OPTYPE_COMMON_CFG;
  	sCommand.FlashId = HAL_OSPI_FLASH_ID_1;
	sCommand.DummyCycles = DUMMY_CLOCK_CYCLES_READ;//8;
	sCommand.DQSMode = HAL_OSPI_DQS_DISABLE;
	sCommand.SIOOMode = HAL_OSPI_SIOO_INST_EVERY_CMD;
	sCommand.InstructionMode = HAL_OSPI_INSTRUCTION_1_LINE;
	sCommand.InstructionSize = HAL_OSPI_INSTRUCTION_8_BITS;
	sCommand.InstructionDtrMode = HAL_OSPI_INSTRUCTION_DTR_DISABLE;
	sCommand.Instruction = 0x35;
	sCommand.AddressMode = HAL_OSPI_ADDRESS_NONE;
	sCommand.DataMode = HAL_OSPI_DATA_NONE;
	sCommand.AlternateBytesMode = HAL_OSPI_ALTERNATE_BYTES_NONE;

	if (HAL_OSPI_Command(OSPIHandle, &sCommand, HAL_OSPI_TIMEOUT) != HAL_OK)
	{
		DEBUG("OSPI QuadModeCfg FAIL\r\n");
		if(0==InErrorHandler) {
			OSPI_Error_Handler();
		}
	}

The following message does not send anything at all, unless I change AddressMode to none.

OSPI_RegularCmdTypeDef  sCommand;
uint8_t cr1v = 0;

	sCommand.OperationType = HAL_OSPI_OPTYPE_COMMON_CFG;;
  	sCommand.FlashId = HAL_OSPI_FLASH_ID_1;
  	sCommand.InstructionMode   = HAL_OSPI_INSTRUCTION_1_LINE;
	sCommand.InstructionSize = HAL_OSPI_INSTRUCTION_8_BITS;
	sCommand.InstructionDtrMode = HAL_OSPI_INSTRUCTION_DTR_DISABLE;
  	sCommand.AddressSize       = HAL_OSPI_ADDRESS_24_BITS;
	sCommand.AddressDtrMode = HAL_OSPI_ADDRESS_DTR_DISABLE;
  	sCommand.AlternateBytesMode = HAL_OSPI_ALTERNATE_BYTES_NONE;
	sCommand.DataDtrMode = HAL_OSPI_DATA_DTR_DISABLE;
	sCommand.DQSMode = HAL_OSPI_DQS_DISABLE;
  	sCommand.SIOOMode          = HAL_OSPI_SIOO_INST_EVERY_CMD;

  	sCommand.Instruction = READ_ANY_REG_CMD;//0x65
  	sCommand.AddressMode = HAL_OSPI_ADDRESS_1_LINE;
	//sCommand.AddressMode = HAL_OSPI_ADDRESS_NONE;
  	sCommand.DataMode    = HAL_OSPI_DATA_1_LINE;
  	sCommand.DummyCycles = DUMMY_CLOCK_CYCLES_READ;//8
  	sCommand.Address     = 2;
  	sCommand.NbData      = 1;

  if (HAL_OSPI_Command(OSPIHandle, &sCommand, HAL_OSPI_TIMEOUT) != HAL_OK)
  {
		DEBUG("OSPI QuadModeCfg FAIL\r\n");
  }

  if (HAL_OSPI_Receive(OSPIHandle, &cr1v, HAL_OSPI_TIMEOUT) != HAL_OK)
  {
		DEBUG("OSPI QuadModeCfg Receive FAIL\r\n");
  }

The HAL_OSPI_Command function returns HAL_OK even though it does not send the command, and then HAL_OSPI_Receive fails with a timeout.
The octospi.c initialization is below. I'm not completely sure what all the values do but I tried to match it to the original project since that one works.

Is there any way to figure out what the issue is, or things I should try?

Hello,

Anyone please provide example code for Initializing, reading, writing ospi flash memory(macronix) in indirect mode

because i have to update touch gfx project through custom bootloader which is stored in external flash.

please replay asap..

[Tesla DeLorean]

Should be some example code in the BSP you can lift.

[KDJEM.1]

Hello @TimJones and welcome to the community :),

Could you please precise which external memory are you using? Please share the memory datasheet?

Which STM32L4 are you using? 

Could you please take a look at AN5050 section 6.2 OCTOSPI configuration with STM32CubeMX and get inspired from III. Quad-SPI PSRAM in Regular-command protocol example section to configure the Quad-SPI memory.

Also, it is recommended to check the STM32 erratsheet section OCTOSPI, when you configure the OCTOSPI interface.

I hope this help you.

Thank you.

Today's question is from tech_enthusiast, the OP was last month.

[KDJEM.1]

Hello @Tech_enthusiast_Manoj ,

As mentioned by @Tesla DeLorean the BSP example can help you.

Also, in order to configure the OCTOSPI in Indirect/Memory-mapped mode and to configure the external Octo-SPI Macronix Flash memory allowing communication, I recommend you to take a look II. Octo-SPI FLASH in Regular-command protocol example  in AN5050.

May this MOOC can help you STM32 Graphics: How to set up a different OSPI flash memory in a TouchGFX template, Part 1 - YouTube

Thank you.

[Tech_enthusiast_Manoj]

Thanks @KDJEM.1  ospi flash write is working properly.

But I need one more help ,

I have to flash .hex in mcu and external flash as well , please suggest me how to decode .hex for flashing,

is there any function or API to do this .

I had done flashing .bin by custom bootloader which is working fine,

But i need to flash .hex because TouchGFX creates target.hex which is combined hex file for internal and external flash.

PLEASE HELP..

[Tesla DeLorean]

The format is simple and well documented, one of your coders will have to code 

Perhaps use objcopy or objdump to get to a binary.
