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>; }; |
