Device Driver Requirements

5.1Memory initialization

Figure 5-1 on page 5-3and Figure 5-3 on page 5-5shows the sequence of events that a device driver must carry out to initialize the memory controller and a memory device to ensure the configuration of both is synchronized.

Typically, PSRAM devices can have the mode register programmed using the address bus only. NOR flash memory devices are examples of memory that requires mode register accesses to be carried out using a sequence of accesses using the address and data buses. Check the data sheet for the specific memory device you are configuring to determine the configuration method.
