Overview - 2. Reserved area configuration - 3. Example of mflash platform driver registration - -1. Overview - -Mflash and gflash are embedded flash drive. The only difference is mflash is -MCP(Multi Chip Package) device. These two device operate exactly same way. -So the rest mflash repersents mflash and gflash altogether. - -Internally, mflash has nand flash and other hardware logics and supports -2 different operation (ATA, IO) modes. ATA mode doesn't need any new -driver and currently works well under standard IDE subsystem. Actually it's -one chip SSD. IO mode is ATA-like custom mode for the host that doesn't have -IDE interface. - -Following are brief descriptions about IO mode. -A. IO mode based on ATA protocol and uses some custom command. (read confirm, -write confirm) -B. IO mode uses SRAM bus interface. -C. IO mode supports 4kB boot area, so host can boot from mflash. - -2. Reserved area configuration -If host boot from mflash, usually needs raw area for boot loader image. All of -the mflash's block device operation will be taken this value as start offset. -Note that boot loader's size of reserved area and kernel configuration value -must be same. - -3. Example of mflash platform driver registration -Working mflash is very straight forward. Adding platform device stuff to board -configuration file is all. Here is some pseudo example. - -static struct mg_drv_data mflash_drv_data = { - /* If you want to polling driver set to 1 */ - .use_polling = 0, - /* device attribution */ - .dev_attr = MG_BOOT_DEV -}; - -static struct resource mg_mflash_rsc[] = { - /* Base address of mflash */ - [0] = { - .start = 0x08000000, - .end = 0x08000000 + SZ_64K - 1, - .flags = IORESOURCE_MEM - }, - /* mflash interrupt pin */ - [1] = { - .start = IRQ_GPIO(84), - .end = IRQ_GPIO(84), - .flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ - }, - /* mflash reset pin */ - [2] = { - .start = 43, - .end = 43, - .name = MG_RST_PIN, - .flags = IORESOURCE_IO - }, - /* mflash reset-out pin - * If you use mflash as storage device (i.e. other than MG_BOOT_DEV), - * should assign this */ - [3] = { - .start = 51, - .end = 51, - .name = MG_RSTOUT_PIN, - .flags = IORESOURCE_IO - } -}; - -static struct platform_device mflash_dev = { - .name = MG_DEV_NAME, - .id = -1, - .dev = { - .platform_data = &mflash_drv_data, - }, - .num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(mg_mflash_rsc), - .resource = mg_mflash_rsc -}; - -platform_device_register(&mflash_dev); |
