AM62A7-Q1: NAND Flash and NOR Flash Compatiblity

Part Number: AM62A7-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSCONFIG

Tool/software:

Hi Team,

I am using AM62A7-q1 part in our new development, As Ref EVK file "NAND" OSPI flash  "W35N01JWTBAG" 128MB part is used. I have to use "NOR" 64MB size Flash IC.

Could you please help me if i go from NAND to NOR flash technology,  what all thing will be change in both point of view (Software and Hardware prospective)

  • Hi,

    Thanks for your question.

    Please refer the software build sheet to see the list of supported combinations. You can find it here: https://software-dl.ti.com/mcu-plus-sdk/esd/AM62AX/10_01_00_33/exports/docs/build_sheet/am62a-sw-buildsheet.html

    Currently NOR flash part is not supported on AM62A SoC, reason being the TI AM62A EVM is having a NAND Flash part by default. So the applications/examples which come as a part of the MCU PLUS SDK package, is tested with the NAND Flash part.

    But to use the NOR Flash part, you just need to make sure that the lines D0...D7 are connected properly to the flash part along with the CS line(either CS0 or CS1) and the Clock line, DQS line. Please see the attached screenshot:

    And in the code you need not change anything, just need to make sure that the correct configurations are selected in SysConfig.

    That should be it. But, if you go ahead and try this, please consider my above comments that it is currently not supported on AM62A.
