Standard SPI memory without FMC and Touch GFX

[Petr3]

Hello,

i have question about external memory storage.

Can be external serial memory used as a storage for Touch GFX images connected via standard SPI(MISO,MOSI, SCK and software driven NCS) to the MCU STM32F767 without FMC_NCS? Is it possible?

 

Thanks

Hello,

I don't think so. Memory needed by TouchGFX needs to be in memory mapped mode. Memories using SPI interface (MOSI/MISO) don't offer this possibility. Only xSPI memories (SPI flavor) can do that. Or external memories using FMC interface.

Or may be you need to copy your images from your SPI in an internal RAM, than let TouchGFX fetches the images from that address. I'm not expert of TouchGFX but I think it could be doable but not efficient in term of application performance.

Hope I answered your question.
