What is External Flash Memory Interface IP?
External Flash Memory Interface IP is a Protocol Bridge IP core from Faststream Technologies listed on Semi IP Hub.
Vendor:
Faststream Technologies
Category:
Protocol Bridge
External Flash Memory Interface IP
Flash memory forms a basic constituent in many FPGA based embedded systems using Xilinx SRAM based FPGAs.
Overview
Flash memory forms a basic constituent in many FPGA based embedded systems using Xilinx SRAM based FPGAs. This is primarily because they store the bitstream file for the FPGA using which the FPGA configures itself at every startup. After configuration, the flash memory is available for user data storage and can be used for non-volatile data storage as long as it is outside of the bitstream area.
Key features
- AXI4-Lite standard user interface. Connects as a 32-bit slave on AXI interface
- Page-wise programming according to the flash memory requirements handled by the IP
- Memory single bit error detection and correction implemented in the IP-core.
- User configurable, industry standard NOR flash memories can be interfaced with the IP on SPI and Quad-SPI interfaces.
