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)

£ 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

Version 3.4.0

Release date 03.06.2019

Bugs squashed:
  • FastRead works properly now. All previous versions of the library had a FastRead bug that prevent it from doing what it was supposed to.
Enhancements:
  • An alternate version of the constructor
SPIFlash flash(int8_t *SPIPinsArray);

can be used (only with ESP32 boards as of now) to enable the use of custom SPI pins. SPIPinsArray has to be a 4 element array containing the custom SPI pin numbers (as signed integers - int8_t) in the following order - sck, miso, mosi, ss. Refer to the wiki for more information. Resolves #113

  • Created new error code NOCHIPSELECTDECLARED for errors with declaring custom SPI pins.
  • Using other SPI ports (HSPI, VSPI, SPI1, SPI2 etc.) is now also supported on ESP32 boards - along with SAMD and STM32 boards (supported since v3.0.0). Resolves #177
  • Formatted and merged pull request #153. This changes the way setClock() works and allows for the definition of clock speed before the SPI Bus is instantiated. Refer to wiki for further details. Thanks @rambo.
New Microcontrollers supported:
  • nRF52832 ARM Cortex M4F (Adafruit nRF52 Feather)
  • STM32L0 ARM Cortex M0+ (Nucleo-L031K6)
New flash memory chips supported:
  • MX25L4005 & MX25L4005 from Macronix
