Hardware Overview
How does it work?
ReRAM 2 Click is based on the MB85AS8MT, a highly reliable 8Mbit resistive random-access memory (ReRAM) organized as 1,048,576 words of 8 bits from Fujitsu Semiconductor. It uses the resistance-variable memory process and silicon-gate CMOS process technologies to form nonvolatile memory cells. The MB85AS8MT specifies 1.000.000 endurance cycles with data retention of a minimum of 10 years, which gives the MB85AS8MT the capability to handle unlimited reads/writes to the memory. One prominent feature of the MB85AS8MT is an extremely small average current, despite its large density, for reading operations of 0.15mA at an operating frequency of 5MHz, which is only 5% of
large-density EEPROM devices. This feature enables minimal power consumption when in applications with frequent data-read operations. Besides higher write endurance, it has faster write speeds than EEPROM and flash memory, while its electric specifications, such as commands and timings, are compatible with EEPROM products. The ReRAM 2 Click communicates with MCU through a standard SPI interface that enables high clock speeds up to 10MHz, supporting the two most common SPI modes, SPI Mode 0 and 3. An additional feature of this Click board™ represents the configurable Write Protection function labeled as WP routed on the PWM pin of the mikroBUS™ socket. The WP pin protects the entire memory
and all registers from write operations and must be set to a low logic state to inhibit all the write operations. All memory and register write are prohibited when this pin is low, and the address counter is not incremented. Besides, the ReRAM 2 Click also has an additional HOLD pin, routed to the RST pin of the mikroBUS™ socket labeled as HO, to interrupt a serial operation without aborting it. This Click board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. Also, it comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.
Features overview
Development board
Nucleo 32 with STM32F031K6 MCU board provides an affordable and flexible platform for experimenting with STM32 microcontrollers in 32-pin packages. Featuring Arduino™ Nano connectivity, it allows easy expansion with specialized shields, while being mbed-enabled for seamless integration with online resources. The
board includes an on-board ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger/programmer, supporting USB reenumeration with three interfaces: Virtual Com port, mass storage, and debug port. It offers a flexible power supply through either USB VBUS or an external source. Additionally, it includes three LEDs (LD1 for USB communication, LD2 for power,
and LD3 as a user LED) and a reset push button. The STM32 Nucleo-32 board is supported by various Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) such as IAR™, Keil®, and GCC-based IDEs like AC6 SW4STM32, making it a versatile tool for developers.

Application Output
1. Application Output - In Debug mode, the 'Application Output' window enables real-time data monitoring, offering direct insight into execution results. Ensure proper data display by configuring the environment correctly using the provided tutorial.

2. UART Terminal - Use the UART Terminal to monitor data transmission via a USB to UART converter, allowing direct communication between the Click board™ and your development system. Configure the baud rate and other serial settings according to your project's requirements to ensure proper functionality. For step-by-step setup instructions, refer to the provided tutorial.

3. Plot Output - The Plot feature offers a powerful way to visualize real-time sensor data, enabling trend analysis, debugging, and comparison of multiple data points. To set it up correctly, follow the provided tutorial, which includes a step-by-step example of using the Plot feature to display Click board™ readings. To use the Plot feature in your code, use the function: plot(*insert_graph_name*, variable_name);. This is a general format, and it is up to the user to replace 'insert_graph_name' with the actual graph name and 'variable_name' with the parameter to be displayed.

*
* # Description
* This library contains API for ReRAM 2 Click driver.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initializes SPI driver and log UART.
* After driver initialization the app set default settings,
* performs device wake-up, check Device ID,
* set Write Enable Latch command and write demo_data string ( mikroE ),
* starting from the selected memory_addr ( 1234 ).
*
* ## Application Task
* This is an example that demonstrates the use of the ReRAM 2 Click board™.
* In this example, we read and display a data string, which we have previously written to memory,
* starting from the selected memory_addr ( 1234 ).
* Results are being sent to the Usart Terminal where you can track their changes.
