1. Article purpose[edit | edit source]
The purpose of this article is to explain how to configure the OCTOSPI using the device tree mechanism, relying on the bindings documentation, that is the description of the required and optional device-tree properties.
The peripheral can be assigned to different contexts/software components, depending on the final product needs. Refer to How to assign an internal peripheral to an execution context article for guidelines on this configuration.
2. DT bindings documentation[edit | edit source]
The device tree binding documents are stored either in the given applicable components listed below, or in the Linux kernel repository:
- TF-A BL2, U-Boot, OP-TEE, Linux® OS:
- Generic SPI-NOR / SPI-NAND Flash memory device tree bindings: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-controller.yaml .
- Generic CFI memory-mapped NOR flash memory device tree bindings: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/mtd-physmap.yaml .
- OCTOSPI device tree bindings: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/memory-controllers/st,stm32-omi.yaml .
3. DT configuration[edit | edit source]
This hardware description is a combination of the STM32 microprocessor device tree files (.dtsi extension) and board device tree files (.dts extension). See the Device tree for an explanation of the device-tree file organization.
STM32CubeMX can be used to generate the board device tree. Refer to How to configure the DT using STM32CubeMX for more details.
3.1. DT configuration (STM32 level)[edit | edit source]
The OCTOSPI node is located in the device tree file for the software components, supporting the peripheral and listed in the above DT bindings documentation paragraph.
3.2. DT configuration (board level)[edit | edit source]
The objective of this chapter is to explain how to enable and configure the OCTOSPI DT nodes for a board.
Peripheral configuration should be done in specific board device tree files (board dts file and pinctrl dtsi file).
&ommanager {
memory-region = <&mm_ospi1>;
memory-region-names = "mm_ospi1";
pinctrl-names = "default", "sleep";
pinctrl-0 = <&ospi1_clk_test_pins_b
&ospi1_io03_test_pins_a
&ospi1_cs0_test_pins_b
&ospi1_cs1_test_pins_b>;
pinctrl-1 = <&ospi1_clk_sleep_test_pins_a
&ospi1_io03_sleep_test_pins_a
&ospi1_cs0_sleep_test_pins_a
&ospi1_cs1_sleep_test_pins_a>;
status = "okay";
spi@40430000 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>; Comments
memory-region = <&mm_ospi1>; --> Point to the memory map region corresponding to the Flash device size
status = "okay"; --> Enable the OctoSPI node
flash0: flash@0 {
compatible = "jedec,spi-nor";
reg = <0>; --> Chip select number
spi-rx-bus-width = <4>; --> The Rx bus width (number of data wires used)
spi-tx-bus-width = <4>; --> The Tx bus width (number of data wires used)
spi-max-frequency = <84000000>; --> Maximum SPI clocking speed of device in Hz
};
};
};
3.3. DT configuration example[edit | edit source]
The below example shows how to configure the OCTOSPI peripheral when 2 SPI-NOR Flash memories are connected on OSPI1 port and 2 SPI-NAND Flash memories connected on OSPI2 port.

st,max-frequency = <100000000>;
st,tacc-ns = <96>;
st,wzl;
};
};
};
4. How to configure the DT using STM32CubeMX[edit | edit source]
The STM32CubeMX tool can be used to configure the STM32MPU device and get the corresponding platform configuration device tree files.
STM32CubeMX may not support all the properties described in DT binding files listed in the above DT bindings documentation paragraph. If so, the tool inserts user sections in the generated device tree. These sections can then be edited to add some properties, and they are preserved from one generation to another. Refer to STM32CubeMX user manual for further information.
