- CFI or JEDEC memory-mapped NOR flash, MTD-RAM (NVRAM...)
- Flash chips (Memory Technology Devices) are often used for solid state
- file systems on embedded devices.
- - compatible : should contain the specific model of mtd chip(s)
- used, if known, followed by either "cfi-flash", "jedec-flash",
- "mtd-ram" or "mtd-rom".
- - reg : Address range(s) of the mtd chip(s)
- It's possible to (optionally) define multiple "reg" tuples so that
- non-identical chips can be described in one node.
- - bank-width : Width (in bytes) of the bank. Equal to the
- device width times the number of interleaved chips.
- - device-width : (optional) Width of a single mtd chip. If
- omitted, assumed to be equal to 'bank-width'.
- - #address-cells, #size-cells : Must be present if the device has
- sub-nodes representing partitions (see below). In this case
- both #address-cells and #size-cells must be equal to 1.
- - no-unaligned-direct-access: boolean to disable the default direct
- mapping of the flash.
- On some platforms (e.g. MPC5200) a direct 1:1 mapping may cause
- problems with JFFS2 usage, as the local bus (LPB) doesn't support
- unaligned accesses as implemented in the JFFS2 code via memcpy().
- By defining "no-unaligned-direct-access", the flash will not be
- exposed directly to the MTD users (e.g. JFFS2) any more.
- - linux,mtd-name: allow to specify the mtd name for retro capability with
- physmap-flash drivers as boot loader pass the mtd partition via the old
- device name physmap-flash.
- - use-advanced-sector-protection: boolean to enable support for the
- advanced sector protection (Spansion: PPB - Persistent Protection
- Bits) locking.
- For JEDEC compatible devices, the following additional properties
- are defined:
- - vendor-id : Contains the flash chip's vendor id (1 byte).
- - device-id : Contains the flash chip's device id (1 byte).
- For ROM compatible devices (and ROM fallback from cfi-flash), the following
- additional (optional) property is defined:
- - erase-size : The chip's physical erase block size in bytes.
- The device tree may optionally contain sub-nodes describing partitions of the
- address space. See partition.txt for more detail.
- Example:
- flash@ff000000 {
- compatible = "amd,am29lv128ml", "cfi-flash";
- reg = <ff000000 01000000>;
- bank-width = <4>;
- device-width = <1>;
- #address-cells = <1>;
- #size-cells = <1>;
- fs@0 {
- label = "fs";
- reg = <0 f80000>;
- };
- firmware@f80000 {
- label ="firmware";
- reg = <f80000 80000>;
- read-only;
- };
- };
- Here an example with multiple "reg" tuples:
- flash@f0000000,0 {
- #address-cells = <1>;
- #size-cells = <1>;
- compatible = "intel,PC48F4400P0VB", "cfi-flash";
- reg = <0 0x00000000 0x02000000
- 0 0x02000000 0x02000000>;
- bank-width = <2>;
- partition@0 {
- label = "test-part1";
- reg = <0 0x04000000>;
- };
- };
- An example using SRAM:
- sram@2,0 {
- compatible = "samsung,k6f1616u6a", "mtd-ram";
- reg = <2 0 0x00200000>;
- bank-width = <2>;
- };
