Arduino library for Flash & FRAM Memory Chips (SPI based only)

Download the latest stable release from here. Please report any bugs in issues.

This Arduino library is for use with flash and FRAM memory chips that communicate using the SPI protocol. In its current form it supports identifying the flash/FRAM chip and its various features; automatic address allocation and management; writing and reading a number of different types of data, ranging from 8-bit to 32-bit (signed and unsigned) values, floats, Strings, arrays of bytes/chars and structs to and from various locations; sector, block and chip erase; and powering down for low power operation.

IDE Compatibility (actually tested with)

  • Arduino IDE v1.5.x
  • Arduino IDE v1.6.x
  • Arduino IDE v1.8.x

£ ESP32 boards usually have an SPI Flash already attached to their default SS pin, so the user has to explicitly declare the ChipSelect pin being used with the constructor

Installation

Option 1

  • Open the Arduino IDE.
  • Go to Sketch > Include Library > Manage libraries.
  • Search for SPIMemory.
  • Install the latest version.

Option 2

  • Click on the 'Clone or download' button above the list of files on this page .
  • Select Download ZIP. A .zip file will download to your computer.
  • Unzip the archive and rename resulting folder to 'SPIMemory'
  • Move the folder to your libraries folder (~/sketches/libraries)

Change log

v3.3.0

Enhancements & Optimizations:
  • Reduce SRAM footprint when running Diagnostics.ino. Thanks @rambo (PR #157)
  • Officially supports the ESP32 (tested on the ESP32 Feather)
  • Now supports FRAM memory chips via the SPIFram constructor
  • Changed Diagnostics output in _chipID() to match situation better.
  • Fixed _chipID() to run more efficiently.
Bugs squashed
  • Fixed a major bug causing issues with page boundaries in writeAnything and writeStr. Thanks for your help @jacky4566 (Issue #151)
  • Fixed a major bug with reading Strings (Issue #143)
  • @incorvia fixed a bug by initialising the SPIBusState to false
  • Fixes bug that causes ballooning of pagesize when SFDP is not read. This is because no default _pageSize value was set in this scenario. This has now been fixed.
  • Fixed a major bug in how SFDP data is used to calculate chip capacity. The previous version of the library returned a wrong value. This has now been fixed. Refer to comments in _getSFDPFlashParam(void) for further details.
New flash memory chips supported:

--> GD25Q16C from Giga devices (Used on the Adafruit ItsyBitsy M0 Express)

  • W25Q64JV from Winbond
  • SST26VF016B & SST26VF032B from Microchip. (Thanks @mix86)
New FRAM memory chips supported:
  • FM25W256 from Cypress
