Hi,

Could someone tell me if there is a way to use Serial memory interface on PSoC 5 LP??

Also, is quad-SPI something that can be used with PSoC 5? If yes, how to use it?

Appreciate any help.

Thank you.

To interface PSoC5LP with Quad SPI memories, please have a look at our code example here: https://www.cypress.com/documentation/code-examples/interfacing-quad-spi-memory-psoc-r-5lp

Also, the EMIF component enables access by the CPU or DMA to memory ICs external to the PSoC 5LP. So you can use this component in your application as well based on requirement. Please have a look at the component datasheet for more information on this: https://www.cypress.com/documentation/component-datasheets/external-memory-interface-emif

The Quad SPI component cannot be found on component catalog in PSoC creator. Could you please help me be able to get Quad SPI on PSoC creator?

Note: I tried the steps described in the document and found this. Please see the attachment.

Yes you won't see it directly. Since it is a custom component, after creating your project navigate to the Components tab in the Workspace Explorer. Right click on the project > Import Component. Click on browse and point to the code example directory as shown in the figure below:

Now you should be able to see this component in the Component Catalog under the Default tab.

So, I am trying to import the project except I don't seem to find it anywhere in PSoC creator folder.Please see below. Is there something I have been missing? Or am I looking in the wrong place? Please advise.

Download the Quad SPI Code example. Extract the files. In the project where you need to import it, point to the directory where the Quad SPI Code example is located.

Okay I can't find Quad SPI code example anywhere. Could you point me to a link where I can download it from or can you attach the project here?

Very much appreciate your help.
