Zest_Storage_Flash
Overview
The Zest_Storage_Flash is an electronics development board for 6TRON open source platform featuring a storage mecanism on a flash memory.
The Zest_Storage_Flash integrates the following elements:
-
A 128Mbit serial flash memory GD25Q127 from EON Silicon Solutions
-
Standard SPI interface
-
Alternative SPI interface
-
QSPI interface
The selection of the bus is operated through integrated SP3T analogue switches.
The Zest_Storage_Flash offers 6TRON users a storage mecanism on a flash memory for storing and reading acquisition data, images, music, video and data files, or any other application where fast mass storage is needed.
