The SMC allows to interface with static-memory mapped external devices such as SRAM, PSRAM, PROM, EPROM, EEPROM, LCD Module, NOR Flash and NAND Flash. The SMC is clocked through the Master Clock (MCK) which is controlled by the Power Management Controller (PMC). The SMC controller can have up to 4 children defining the connected external memory devices. The reg property is set to the device's Chip Select. Device Tree example taken from the sam4_xplained board: &smc { status = "okay"; pinctrl-0 = <&smc_default>; pinctrl-names = "default"; is66wv51216dbll@0 { reg = <0>; atmel,smc-write-mode = "nwe"; atmel,smc-read-mode = "nrd"; atmel,smc-setup-timing = <1 1 1 1>; atmel,smc-pulse-timing = <6 6 6 6>; atmel,smc-cycle-timing = <7 7>; }; }; The above example configures a is66wv51216dbll-55 device. The device is a low power static RAM which uses NWE and NRD signals connected to the WE and OE inputs respectively. Assuming that MCK is 120MHz (cpu at full speed) each MCK cycle will be equivalent to 8ns. Since the memory full cycle is 55ns, as per specification, it requires atmel,smc-cycle-timing of at least 7 pulses (56ns). The atmel,smc-cycle-timing is composed of three parts: setup, pulse and hold. The setup is used to address the memory. The pulse is the time used to read/write. The hold is used to release memory. For the is66wv51216dbll-55 a minimum setup of 5ns (1 cycle) with at least 45ns (6 cycles) for CPU read/write and no hold time is required. Note: Since no hold parameter is available at SMC the atmel,smc-cycle-timing should have additional cycles to accommodate for hold values. No Hold Time: cycle-timing (7) = setup (1) + pulse (6) + hold (0) With 3 Hold Times: cycle-timing (10) = setup (1) + pulse (6) + hold (3) Finally, in order to make the memory available you will need to define new memory device/s in DeviceTree: sram1: sram@60000000 { compatible = "zephyr,memory-region", "mmio-sram"; device_type = "memory"; reg = <0x60000000 DT_SIZE_K(512)>; zephyr,memory-region = "SRAM1"; }; compatible: "atmel,sam-smc" include: [base.yaml, pinctrl-device.yaml] properties: reg: required: true clocks: required: true "#address-cells": required: true const: 1 "#size-cells": required: true const: 0 child-binding: description: | Child device nodes are representing devices connected to the EBI/SMC bus. properties: reg: type: int required: true description: | The device's SMC Chip Select number.

This value describes the entire write/read operation timing which is defined as: cycle = setup + pulse + hold Value has to be greater or equal to setup + pulse timing and is encoded in 9 bits where the two highest bits are multiplied with an offset of 256.
