Hi PeWosT,
You can look up the ESP32 datasheet. We use HSPI to connect external flash. You need to follow the protocol of HSPI.

Thanks

Dear Sir,

I am interested in using ESP-WROOM-32D. I would like to connect an external SPI Flash.

I have made some research on various forums related to above mentioned topic. I have learnt the following alternatives:

1. Connecting to HSPI interface (as mentioned in this post)

2. Connecting to the same SPI Lines as the internal flash, but using a different gpio as a chip select line and using efuse.

I would like to know if there is any configuration steps required to connect external HSPI Flash, do we need to use efuse.

It would be helpful if espressif can release a step by step guide related to interfacing external flash.

Does Espressif provide higher capacity flash in ESP-WROOM -32D modules

Thanks in advance

#2 is if you want to replace internal flash and boot from external flash. #1 is if you want to keep internal flash and add external flash for data. No efuse settings required for using hspi.
