    Default Spi flash chip example - 8mb flash

    Hi guys ,

    I had a need to add a flash chip to a project

    I could not find any sample of code on the site or elsewhere for Flash routines and use , and i hate having to redo the wheel if i dont have to

    so now you dont have to - as much

    This code works and is designed for 8mb Flash - M25P80 chip , at 75mhz

    the code runs on a 64mhz 18F cpu , and software SPI ( for the Moment )
    spi pins, chip select are done else where but it easy to add to this section
    this code is used as an include to another core program .

    The code will change to suite the duel /quad spi chip range 25Q80 series some time
    No use of the "HOLD" PIN is supported at this time

    the W and Hold Pins are tied High , but allows for the W pin to be tied low to lock sectors

    it use the same name variables from the SDFS3 , so take care to consider the issues when using both., but double use of the defined buffers on both programs works

    this code will change as other chips are used

    hope it helps someone else avoid the days it took me

    regards

    Sheldon

    found a error in the read/fast read option, where dummy byte was offseting the read address by 1 in flash_comand routine

    - heres the updated area

    Code:
    if SDC_cmd =>2 and SDC_cmd <=3 or _    ' if commands 2= Page write 3= Sector Erase,
            SDC_cmd =>6 and SDC_cmd <=8 then    ' or 6=Signature read( 3 dummybytes)  7= read data normalspeed or 8 read data at Highspeed then set given address 
              SDC_data_out = SDC_address.Byte2     ' set sector Address 0 to 15 for 8mb chip
     	      Gosub Flash_spiw		               ' Write Byte SDC_data_out.
     	      SDC_data_out = SDC_address.Byte1     ' set page address 0 to 255

    further testing showed that when sequences of commands to do read and writes over multi sectors , the the busy_chk routine requires to be checked not just for writes , but also for reads

    if a read is done during a cycle of a sector erase,write , the read is not done at all

    as such the code changed to

      ' assumbe data_Length = Lookup table to fill 
      ' max 256 bytes per write 
      ' erase of the sector by byte  / bulk is needed prior to write , as a write only changes a 1 to 0 , and the erase chanse the 0 to 1 
       if  SDC_cmd = 0 then return           ' invalid command if value =0 
       
       Lookup SDC_cmd,[$00,$01,$02,$D8,$C7,$B9,$9E,$03,$0B,$9F,$AB],SDC_CmdCode ' asignes command code to flash chip

    Default Re: Spi flash chip example - 8mb flash

    Hi guys , when using the routines , i found that i often use "data_length" varable to reflect the TOTAL amount of bytes used in the buffer , eg datalength = 32 , thus the data buffer should have 32 bytes ,

    but the Flash_comand routine code uses " for 0 to Data_length , thus the buffer need to have 33 bytes of valid data , in this example

    As a result the code changes to

    " for 0 to Data_length-1"

    ammed to

    Code:
      For SDC_index = 0 To Data_Length-1             ' DATA LENGTH -1 COS 0 USED 
                  if SDC_cmd <= 2 then                       ' if write or Write register then 
                     SDC_data_out = SDC_buffer[SDC_index]    ' send contents of indexed SDC_buffer 
                     gosub  Flash_SPIw  	                 ' write byte SDC_data_in from SPI bus.  Returns SDC_data_in.
                  endif
                
                  if SDC_cmd =>6 and SDC_cmd <=9 then       ' if 6= read signature byte, 7=read data normalspeed, 8= read data at Highspeed , 9=read ID
                     gosub  Flash_SPIR  	                 ' Read Byte SDC_data_in from SPI bus.  Returns SDC_data_in.
     	             SDC_buffer[SDC_index] = SDC_data_in
                  endif
              Next SDC_index
