OSPI Interface

The SK EVM board has 512 Mbit OSPI memory device of part number S28HS512TGABHM010 from Cypress is connected to OSPI0 interface of AM64x SOC. The OSPI supports memory speed up to 166 MHz. The OSPI flash is powered by 1.8V IO supply. The 1.8V supply is provided to both VCC and VCCQ pins of the flash memory.

The reset for the flash is connected to a circuit that ANDs the RESETSTATz, PORz_OUT and OSPI0_CSN2 (GPIO_OSPI_RSTn) from SoC. This applies reset for warm and cold reset. A pull-up is provided on GPIO_OSPI_RSTn coming from SOC pin to set the default active state.

Two signals are routed to OSPI0_DQS:

  1. OSPI0_DQS from the memory device
  2. OSPI0_LBCLK from SoC

To route DQS from memory device: DNI R33 & R39.

To route OSPI0_LBCLK from SoC: Mount R33 & R39.

OSPI & QSPI implementation: 0 ohm resistors are provided for DATA [7:0], DQS, INT# and CLK signals. Footprints to mount external pull up resistors are provided on DATA [7:0] to prevent bus floating.

Figure 4-17 shows the OSPI interface block diagram for AM64x SK EVM.
