STM32N6 SDRAM reference design?

Greetings,

We're a small team designing a board around the STM32N6 and need a large external memory (e.g. 64MB of SDRAM). Due to the complexity of routing and configuring timings I wonder if there exists a reference design for such a circuit, or at least for another MCU that's sufficiently similar that we can use it as a starting point. Any guidance would be very much appreciated.

Regards,

OV

    Hey @ov 

    Here is another STM32N6 specific design from the DK reference design, using the HEXASPI.

    Here's 64 MB SDRAM routing on an STM32F4 chip. Chip family doesn't change much here, signals are the same.
