sck-differential-clock

boolean

 
Enable/disable SCKB pad use as SCKA differential clock output,
when enabled, Port B flash access is not available.

rx-clock-source

int

 
Source clock for flash read. See the RXCLKSRC field in register MCR0.
The default corresponds to the reset value of the register field.

Legal values: 0, 1, 2, 3

rx-clock-source-b

int

 
Source clock for flash read on port B. Only supported by some instances
of this IP. See the RXCLKSRC_B field in register MCR2.
The default corresponds to the reset value of the register field.

Legal values: 0, 1, 2, 3

rx-buffer-config

array

 
Array of tuples to configure AHB RX buffers. Format is the following:
<prefetch priority master_id buf_size>. Pass multiple tuples to configure
multiple RX buffers (up to maximum supported by SOC).
The tuple fields correspond to the following register bitfields:
prefetch: AHBRXBUFxCRx[PREFETCH]
priority: AHBRXBUFxCRx[PRIORITY]
master_id: AHBRXBUFxCRx[MSTRID]
buf_size: AHBRXBUFxCRx[BUFSZ]

ahb-boundary

string

 
Sets the AHB read/write boundary. Only supported by some versions of
the FLEXSPI IP. When set, all memory accesses that cross an address
boundary of the specified size will be divided into smaller sub accesses.

Default value: no-boundary

Legal values: 'no-boundary', '1024', '512', '256'

clock-frequency

int

 
Clock frequency the SPI peripheral is being driven at, in Hz.

cs-gpios

phandle-array

 
An array of chip select GPIOs to use. Each element
in the array specifies a GPIO. The index in the array
corresponds to the child node that the CS gpio controls.

Example:

  spi@... {
          cs-gpios = <&gpio0 23 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>,
                        <&gpio1 10 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>,
                        ...;

          spi-device@0 {
                  reg = <0>;
                  ...
          };
          spi-device@1 {
                  reg = <1>;
                  ...
          };
          ...
  };

The child node "spi-device@0" specifies a SPI device with
chip select controller gpio0, pin 23, and devicetree
GPIO flags GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW. Similarly, "spi-device@1" has CS GPIO
controller gpio1, pin 10, and flags GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW. Additional
devices can be configured in the same way.

If unsure about the flags cell, GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW is generally a safe
choice for a typical "CSn" pin. GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH may be used if
intervening hardware inverts the signal to the peripheral device or
the line itself is active high.

If this property is not defined, no chip select GPIOs are set.
SPI controllers with dedicated CS pins do not need to define
the cs-gpios property.

overrun-character

int

 
The overrun character (ORC) is used when all bytes from the TX buffer
are sent, but the transfer continues due to RX.

pinctrl-0

Pin configuration/s for the third state. See pinctrl-0.

pinctrl-3

phandles

 
Pin configuration/s for the fourth state. See pinctrl-0.

pinctrl-4

phandles

 
Pin configuration/s for the fifth state. See pinctrl-0.

See Important properties for more information.

spi-max-frequency

int

 
Maximum clock frequency of device's SPI interface in Hz

This property is required.

duplex

int

 
Duplex mode, full or half. By default it's always full duplex thus 0
as this is, by far, the most common mode.
Use the macros not the actual enum value, here is the concordance
list (see dt-bindings/spi/spi.h)

boolean

 
SPI clock polarity which indicates the clock idle state.
If it is used, the clock idle state is logic high; otherwise, low.

spi-cpha

SPI clock phase that indicates on which edge data is sampled.
If it is used, data is sampled on the second edge; otherwise, on the first edge.

spi-hold-cs

boolean

 
In some cases, it is necessary for the master to manage SPI chip select
under software control, so that multiple spi transactions can be performed
without releasing it. A typical use case is variable length SPI packets
where the first spi transaction reads the length and the second spi transaction
reads length bytes.

zephyr,deferred-init

boolean

 
Do not initialize device automatically on boot. Device should be manually
initialized using device_init().

wakeup-source

boolean

 
Property to identify that a device can be used as wake up source.

When this property is provided a specific flag is set into the
device that tells the system that the device is capable of
wake up the system.

Wake up capable devices are disabled (interruptions will not wake up
the system) by default but they can be enabled at runtime if necessary.

zephyr,pm-device-runtime-auto

boolean

 
Automatically configure the device for runtime power management after the
init function runs.

zephyr,disabling-power-states

phandles

 
List of power states that will disable this device power.

supply-gpios

phandle-array

 
GPIO specifier that controls power to the device.

This property should be provided when the device has a dedicated
switch that controls power to the device.  The supply state is
entirely the responsibility of the device driver.

Contrast with vin-supply.

vin-supply

phandle

 
Reference to the regulator that controls power to the device.
The referenced devicetree node must have a regulator compatible.

This property should be provided when device power is supplied
by a shared regulator.  The supply state is dependent on the
request status of all devices fed by the regulator.

Contrast with supply-gpios.  If both properties are provided
then the regulator must be requested before the supply GPIOS is
set to an active state, and the supply GPIOS must be set to an
inactive state before releasing the regulator.

jedec-id

uint8-array

 
JEDEC ID as manufacturer ID, memory type, memory density

size

int

 
flash capacity in bits

sfdp-bfp

uint8-array

 
Contains the 32-bit words in little-endian byte order from the
JESD216 Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters Basic Flash
Parameters table.  This provides flash-specific configuration
information in cases were runtime retrieval of SFDP data
is not desired.

quad-enable-requirements

string

 
Quad Enable Requirements value from JESD216 BFP DW15.

Use NONE if the device detects 1-1-4 and 1-4-4 modes by the
instruction.  Use S1B6 if QE is bit 6 of the first status register
byte, and can be configured by reading then writing one byte with
RDSR and WRSR.  For other fields see the specification.

Legal values: 'NONE', 'S2B1v1', 'S1B6', 'S2B7', 'S2B1v4', 'S2B1v5', 'S2B1v6'

enter-4byte-addr

int

 
Enter 4-Byte Addressing value from JESD216 BFP DW16

This property is ignored if the device is configured to use SFDP data
from the sfdp-bfp property (CONFIG_SPI_NOR_SFDP_DEVICETREE) or to read
SFDP properties at runtime (CONFIG_SPI_NOR_SFDP_RUNTIME).

For CONFIG_SPI_NOR_SFDP_MINIMAL this is the 8-bit value from bits 31:24
of DW16 identifying ways a device can be placed into 4-byte addressing
mode.  If provided as a non-zero value the driver assumes that 4-byte
addressing is require to access the full address range, and
automatically puts the device into 4-byte address mode when the device
is initialized.

page-size

int

 
Number of bytes in a page from JESD216 BFP DW11

This property is only used in the CONFIG_SPI_NOR_SFDP_MINIMAL configuration.
It is ignored if the device is configured to use SFDP data
from the sfdp-bfp property (CONFIG_SPI_NOR_SFDP_DEVICETREE) or
if the SFDP parameters are read from the device at
runtime (CONFIG_SPI_NOR_SFDP_RUNTIME).

The default value is 256 bytes if the value is not specified.
