The AXI Quad Serial Peripheral Interface connects the AXI4 interface to those SPI slave devices which are supporting the Dual or Quad SPI protocol along with Standard SPI protocol instruction set. As an example, this core provides a serial interface to SPI slave devices such as SPI serial flash from Winbond/Numonyx which support Dual and Quad SPI protocol along with Standard SPI interface. The Dual/Quad SPI is the enhancement to the Standard SPI protocol that delivers a simple method for a master and a selected slave to exchange data.
