2.2.2.2 Quad SPI NOR Flash

The i.MX 6ULL processor has a Serial NOR Flash interface (QSPI). This design uses Micron’s MT25QU256ABA1EW7-0SIT Serial NOR Flash memory with a density of 256 Mb (32 MB) supports a clock frequency of 166 MHz for data through-put up to 90 MBps at DTR with an operating voltage of 1.7 V to 2.0 V, and the interface diagram of this Flash IC with the processor is shown in Figure 3.
