STM32L431CCT6 QSPI External Loader with W25Q128

Description

This repository provides an external loader for the STM32L431CCT6 microcontroller interfacing with the Winbond W25Q128 Quad SPI (QSPI) flash memory. It facilitates the creation of .stldr files for the W25Q128 and other W25QXX series flash memories.

Features

• QSPI External Loader: Enables programming of external QSPI flash memory using STM32CubeProgrammer.
• Configurable for Various Flash Sizes: Supports different W25QXX series chips by adjusting the MEMORY_FLASH_SIZE definition in quadspi.h.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Hardware: STM32L431CCT6 microcontroller and Winbond W25Q128 (or compatible W25QXX series) QSPI flash memory.
• Software: STM32CubeIDE or another compatible development environment.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/alixahedi/STM32L431-W25Q128-QSPI.git

Usage

Open the Project

1. Launch STM32CubeIDE.
2. Navigate to File > Open Projects from File System....
3. Select the cloned repository folder.

Configure Flash Size

Modify MEMORY_FLASH_SIZE in quadspi.h to match your flash memory size:

#define MEMORY_FLASH_SIZE 0x1000000 // 16MB (128Mbit)

Build the Project

# Inside STM32CubeIDE, click 'Build' or use shortcut Ctrl+B

Generate .stldr File

Locate the generated .stldr file in the Debug or Release folder.

Flashing with STM32CubeProgrammer

1. Open STM32CubeProgrammer.
2. Select the generated .stldr file.
3. Program the external QSPI flash memory.

Notes

• Ensure correct hardware connections for QSPI communication.
• Refer to the Winbond W25Q128 Datasheet) for specifications.
