nordic,owned-partitions
Vendor: Nordic Semiconductor
Description
Nordic Owned Partitions
Memory partition table with permission attributes common to its partitions.
This is a special case of the Nordic Owned Memory binding.
Every compatible node is expected to be a child of a memory node, where the
listed partitions belong.
A single memory node can contain multiple partition tables, each with a
different set of permissions. For each such table, the smallest memory region
spanning the contained partitions will be recorded in the UICR. These regions
are allowed to contain gaps between the partitions, but this is discouraged.
Example:
mram1x: mram@e000000 {
compatible = "nordic,mram";
reg = <0xe000000 0x200000>;
...
rx-partitions {
compatible = "nordic,owned-partitions";
nordic,access = <NRF_OWNER_ID_APPLICATION NRF_PERM_RX>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
slot0_partition: partition@c0000 {
label = "image-0";
reg = <0xc0000 0x40000>;
};
};
rw-partitions {
compatible = "nordic,owned-partitions";
nordic,access = <NRF_OWNER_ID_APPLICATION NRF_PERM_RW>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
slot1_partition: partition@100000 {
label = "image-1";
reg = <0x100000 0x50000>;
};
storage_partition: partition@150000 {
label = "storage";
reg = <0x150000 0x6000>;
};
};
};
From this example, two memory regions will be inferred:
- 0x0E0C0000--0x0E100000, with read & execute permissions, containing the
partition labeled "image-0".
- 0x0E100000--0x0E156000, with read & write permissions, containing the
partitions labeled "image-1" and "storage".
Properties
Top level properties
These property descriptions apply to “nordic,owned-partitions” nodes themselves. This page also describes child node properties in the following sections.
Node specific properties
Properties not inherited from the base binding file.
Name |
Type |
Details |
|---|---|---|
|
|
Array of (owner-id, permission-flags) pairs, where:
- Owner ID represents the domain that will have access to this memory.
Valid values can be found in dts/common/nordic/<soc>.dtsi,
where they are defined as NRF_OWNER_ID_*
- Permissions are encoded as a 32-bit bitfield, using the flags found in
include/zephyr/dt-bindings/reserved-memory/nordic-owned-memory.h,
where they are defined as NRF_PERM_*
The same file defines all possible permission flag combinations.
For example, one can use:
<NRF_OWNER_ID_APPLICATION NRF_PERM_RWX>
as a shorthand for:
<NRF_OWNER_ID_APPLICATION (NRF_PERM_R | NRF_PERM_W | NRF_PERM_X)>
|
|
|
Signify that this node should result in a dedicated linker script
memory region in the final executable. The region address and size
is taken from the <reg> property, while the name is the value of
this property.
|
|
|
Attribute or set of attributes (bitmask) for the memory region. See
'include/zephyr/dt-bindings/memory-attr/memory-attr.h' for a
comprehensive list with description of possible values.
|
Deprecated node specific properties
Deprecated properties not inherited from the base binding file.
Name |
Type |
Details |
|---|---|---|
|
|
Deprecated, applies only if 'nordic,access' is not defined.
Owner ID of the domain that will own this memory region. If not defined,
the ownership will default to the domain being compiled.
Note: owner ID is not the same as domain ID; see the product specification
for details.
|
|
|
Deprecated, applies only if 'nordic,access' is not defined.
Owner has read access to the region.
|
|
|
Deprecated, applies only if 'nordic,access' is not defined.
Owner has write access to the region.
|
|
|
Deprecated, applies only if 'nordic,access' is not defined.
Owner can execute code from the region.
|
|
|
Deprecated, applies only if 'nordic,access' is not defined.
Owner has secure-only access to the region.
|
|
|
Deprecated, applies only if 'nordic,access' is not defined.
Memory region is used for non-secure-callable code.
|
|
|
Signify that this node should result in a dedicated MPU region.
Deprecated in favor of 'zephyr,memory-attr'.

Base properties

the system) by default but they can be enabled at runtime if necessary.
