This example shows how to use the QMSPI Peripheral library to perform erase, write and read operation with the QMSPI Serial Flash memory in Quad IO mode.
Description
This example uses the QMSPI peripheral library to erase and write an array of values to the QMSPI Serial Flash memory. It verifies the value written by reading the values back and comparing it to the value written.
