Description
***********
.. code-block:: none
This binding describes the Atmel SAM flash area layout.
The Atmel SAM flash area varies in write-block-size, memory area,
and the layout of erase-blocks.
E.g. the flash area layout of the ATSAM4E16C:
|--------------------|
| 8 Kbytes | erase block size = 2048
|--------------------|
| 8 Kbytes | erase block size = 2048
|--------------------|
| 48 Kbytes | erase block size = 4096
|--------------------|
| 64 Kbytes | erase block size = 4096
|--------------------|
| ... |
The ATSAM4E16C has a flash area which is 1000Kbytes
(1024 * 1024 bytes) with a write-block-size of 8 bytes. The first
16 Kbytes can be erased in blocks of 2048 bytes
(8 blocks of 2048 bytes), the remaining flash area is erasable
in blocks of 4096 bytes (252 blocks of 4096 bytes).
This flash area layout would described as:
/ {
soc {
eefc: flash-controller@400e0a00 {
compatible = "atmel,sam-flash-controller";
reg = <0x400e0a00 0x200>;
clocks = <&pmc PMC_TYPE_PERIPHERAL 6>;
status = "okay";
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
#erase-block-cells = <2>;
flash0: flash@400000 {
compatible = "atmel,sam-flash", "soc-nv-flash";
reg = <0x400000 0x100000>;
write-block-size = <8>;
erase-block-size = <4096>;
erase-blocks = <&eefc 8 2048>, <&eefc 252 4096>;
};
};
};
Notes:
The flash area layout node flash0 should have both this
compatible, "atmel,sam-flash", and the "soc-nv-flash"
compatible. The latter is used from mcuboot and other
modules to identify the flash area.
If partitions are used, remember that their addresses are
offsets relative to the flash area address. E.g. using
mcuboot and a allocating a storage partition:
&flash0 {
partitions {
compatible = "fixed-partitions";
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
boot_partition: partition@0 {
label = "mcuboot";
reg = <0x0 0x10000>;
};
slot0_partition: partition@10000 {
label = "slot0";
reg = <0x10000 0x70000>;
};
slot1_partition: partition@80000 {
label = "slot1";
reg = <0x80000 0x70000>;
};
storage_partition: partition@f0000 {
label = "storage";
reg = <0xf0000 0x100000>;
};
};
};
Properties
**********
.. tabs::
.. group-tab:: Node specific properties
Properties not inherited from the base binding file.
.. list-table::
:widths: 1 1 4
:header-rows: 1
* - Name
- Type
- Details
* - ``write-block-size``
- ``int``
- .. code-block:: none
The flash controller is limited by hardware to writing blocks of
this size, aligned to this size, in bytes, to previously erased
flash, within the flash memory area.
* - ``erase-block-size``
- ``int``
- .. code-block:: none
The flash controller is limited by hardware to erase whole
blocks of flash at a time. This property describes the largest
erase block size in erase-blocks.
* - ``erase-blocks``
- ``phandle-array``
- .. code-block:: none
The flash controller is limited by hardware to erase whole
blocks of flash at a time. This property describes the layout of
the erase-blocks, which can vary in size within the flash memory
area.
This property is **required**.
.. group-tab:: Deprecated node specific properties
Deprecated properties not inherited from the base binding file.
(None)
.. group-tab:: Base properties
Properties inherited from the base binding file, which defines
common properties that may be set on many nodes. Not all of these
may apply to the "atmel,sam-flash" compatible.
.. list-table::
:widths: 1 1 4
:header-rows: 1
* - Name
- Type
- Details
* - ``status``
- ``string``
- .. code-block:: none
Indicates the operational status of the hardware or other
resource that the node represents. In particular:
- "okay" means the resource is operational and, for example,
can be used by device drivers
- "disabled" means the resource is not operational and the system
should treat it as if it is not present
For details, see "2.3.4 status" in Devicetree Specification v0.4.
Legal values: ``'ok'``, ``'okay'``, ``'disabled'``, ``'reserved'``, ``'fail'``, ``'fail-sss'``
See :ref:`zephyr:dt-important-props` for more information.
* - ``compatible``
- ``string-array``
- .. code-block:: none
This property is a list of strings that essentially define what
type of hardware or other resource this devicetree node
represents. Each device driver checks for specific compatible
property values to find the devicetree nodes that represent
resources that the driver should manage.
The recommended format is "vendor,device", The "vendor" part is
an abbreviated name of the vendor. The "device" is usually from
the datasheet.
The compatible property can have multiple values, ordered from
most- to least-specific. Having additional values is useful when the
device is a specific instance of a more general family, to allow the
system to match the most specific driver available.
For details, see "2.3.1 compatible" in Devicetree Specification v0.4.
This property is **required**.
See :ref:`zephyr:dt-important-props` for more information.
* - ``reg``
- ``array``
- .. code-block:: none
Information used to address the device. The value is specific to
the device (i.e. is different depending on the compatible
property).
The "reg" property is typically a sequence of (address, length) pairs.
Each pair is called a "register block". Values are
conventionally written in hex.
For details, see "2.3.6 reg" in Devicetree Specification v0.4.
See :ref:`zephyr:dt-important-props` for more information.
* - ``reg-names``
- ``string-array``
- .. code-block:: none
Optional names given to each register block in the "reg" property.
For example:
/ {
soc {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
uart@1000 {
reg = <0x1000 0x2000>, <0x3000 0x4000>;
reg-names = "foo", "bar";
};
};
};
The uart@1000 node has two register blocks:
- one with base address 0x1000, size 0x2000, and name "foo"
- another with base address 0x3000, size 0x4000, and name "bar"
* - ``interrupts``
- ``array``
- .. code-block:: none
Information about interrupts generated by the device, encoded as an array
of one or more interrupt specifiers. The format of the data in this property
varies by where the device appears in the interrupt tree. Devices with the same
"interrupt-parent" will use the same format in their interrupts properties.
For details, see "2.4 Interrupts and Interrupt Mapping" in
Devicetree Specification v0.4.
See :ref:`zephyr:dt-important-props` for more information.
* - ``interrupts-extended``
- ``compound``
- .. code-block:: none
Extended interrupt specifier for device, used as an alternative to
the "interrupts" property.
For details, see "2.4 Interrupts and Interrupt Mapping" in
Devicetree Specification v0.4.
* - ``interrupt-names``
- ``string-array``
- .. code-block:: none
Optional names given to each interrupt generated by a device.
The interrupts themselves are defined in either "interrupts" or
"interrupts-extended" properties.
For details, see "2.4 Interrupts and Interrupt Mapping" in
Devicetree Specification v0.4.
* - ``interrupt-parent``
- ``phandle``
- .. code-block:: none
If present, this refers to the node which handles interrupts generated
by this device.
For details, see "2.4 Interrupts and Interrupt Mapping" in
Devicetree Specification v0.4.
* - ``label``
- ``string``
- .. code-block:: none
Human readable string describing the device. Use of this property is
deprecated except as needed on a case-by-case basis.
For details, see "4.1.2 Miscellaneous Properties" in Devicetree
Specification v0.4.
See :ref:`zephyr:dt-important-props` for more information.
* - ``clocks``
- ``phandle-array``
- .. code-block:: none
Information about the device's clock providers. In general, this property
should follow conventions established in the dt-schema binding:
https://github.com/devicetree-org/dt-schema/blob/main/dtschema/schemas/clock/clock.yaml
* - ``clock-names``
- ``string-array``
- .. code-block:: none
Optional names given to each clock provider in the "clocks" property.
* - ``#address-cells``
- ``int``
- .. code-block:: none
