A common problem when dealing with switches and electronics is how to handle the contact bouncing. When you press the switch, there will be due to the mechanical design of the switch, a short bouncing of the switch before it stabilizes. It depends on how you read of the switch but normally this will lead Läs mer…
The MCU I am using, STM32H745IG, has a lot of memories, both as in size but also as type. To start, it has two independent flash banks. Each bank is 1 Mbyte and can store both code and data. The first flash bank (starting at address 0x800000) is used by the Cortex-M7 and the second Läs mer…
After reviewing my settings, I did see a major flaw. I used a prescaler of 1. One might think that it means the clock frequency is divided by 1, ie. the clock frequency to the external flash is the same as the one set by the main frequency in the MCU. But this is not Läs mer…
To store all that graphics used in the games, I added an external flash memory, MX25L512 which has 64 Mb and a QUADSPI interface. I knew that an external flash would be slower to read from than using the internal flash but I was not sure how much slower it would be. I did a Läs mer…
