I'm new to STM32s and I want to verify that I can put a Quad-SPI PSRAM chip (or SRAM, DRAM, etc) on the Quad-SPI interface and have everything work? From what I have read it seems like it will work, but everything seems to refer to using FLASH memories, not xRAM devices.
The only caveat I see is that the Memory-mapped mode _won't_ work because that is read-only. With that option gone, I'd write some simple code to operate in Indirect Mode (register access) (or perhaps DMA?). My requirements are more storage space than speed. (I need >= 8 Mbits)
So, as I said at the top, I'm just looking for verification that this approach will work.
Thanks!

The MCU is relatively agnostic to the type of memory behind the interface. You could use a CPLD/FPGA.
Correct, Memory Mapped doesn't help you, but even for flash, switching back and forth is cumbersome.
