Atmel Data Flash

2005-10-29 by Larry Barello

I am trying to mate an AT45DB041B (4mb data flash) with an ATMEGA32.  The
interface seems straightforward: SPI mode 0 (CPOL = CPHA = 0), but if I
follow the proscribed "DataFlashReady" algorithm the chip only returns "not
ready (e.g. 0x4E).

I.e.:

Void WaitDataFlash(void)
{
	FLASH_CS(TRUE);
	SPI_Write(0x57);	// SR read command
	While(!(SPI_Read() & 0x80))
		;
	FLASH_CS(FALSE);
}

Has anyone experience with this chip and give any sage advice?  I have tied
/reset and /wp to VCC.  /CS is controlled by a port bit and the rest of the
SPI crew are attached to their respective pins.

Have I misinterpreted what SPI mode 0 is?  I previously wrote routines for
some Atmel EEPROM chips and it worked pretty much first time.  The Data
flash routines are even simpler, but, of course, they don't work :(
