Function Documentation

◆ flash_copy()

int flash_copy	(	const struct device *	src_dev,
		off_t	src_offset,
		const struct device *	dst_dev,
		off_t	dst_offset,
		off_t	size,
		uint8_t *	buf,
		size_t	buf_size
	)

#include <include/zephyr/drivers/flash.h>

Copy flash memory from one device to another.

Copy a region of flash memory from one place to another. The source and destination flash devices may be the same or different devices. However, this function will fail if the source and destination devices are the same if memory regions overlap and are not identical.

The caller must supply a buffer of suitable size and ensure that the destination is erased beforehand, if necessary.

Note: If the source and destination devices are the same, and the source and destination offsets are also the same, this function succeeds without performing any copy operation.

Parameters

	src_dev	Source flash device.
	dst_dev	Destination flash device.
	src_offset	Offset within the source flash device.
	dst_offset	Offset within the destination flash device.
	size	Size of the region to copy, in bytes.
[out]	buf	Pointer to a buffer of size buf_size.
	buf_size	Size of the buffer pointed to by buf.

Return values

0	on success
-EINVAL	if an argument is invalid.
-EIO	if an I/O error occurs.
-ENODEV	if either src_dev or dst_dev are not ready.

◆ flash_erase()

int flash_erase	(	const struct device *	dev,
		off_t	offset,
		size_t	size
	)

#include <include/zephyr/drivers/flash.h>

Erase part or all of a flash memory.

Acceptable values of erase size and offset are subject to hardware-specific multiples of page size and offset. Please check the API implemented by the underlying sub driver, for example by using flash_get_page_info_by_offs() if that is supported by your flash driver.

Any necessary erase protection management is performed by the driver erase implementation itself.

The function should be used only for devices that are really explicit erase devices; in case when code relies on erasing device, i.e. setting it to erase-value, prior to some operations, but should work with explicit erase and RAM non-volatile devices, then flash_flatten should rather be used.

Parameters

dev	: flash device
offset	: erase area starting offset
size	: size of area to be erased

Returns: 0 on success, negative errno code on fail.

See also: flash_flatten(); flash_get_page_info_by_offs(); flash_get_page_info_by_idx()

◆ flash_ex_op()

int flash_ex_op	(	const struct device *	dev,
		uint16_t	code,
		const uintptr_t	in,
		void *	out
	)

#include <include/zephyr/drivers/flash.h>

Execute flash extended operation on given device.

Besides of standard flash operations like write or erase, flash controllers also support additional features like write protection or readout protection. These features are not available in every flash controller, what's more controllers can implement it in a different way.

It doesn't make sense to add a separate flash API function for every flash controller feature, because it could be unique (supported on small number of flash controllers) or the API won't be able to represent the same feature on every flash controller.

Parameters

dev	Flash device
code	Operation which will be executed on the device.
in	Pointer to input data used by operation. If operation doesn't need any input data it could be NULL.
out	Pointer to operation output data. If operation doesn't produce any output it could be NULL.

Return values

0	on success.
-ENOTSUP	if given device doesn't support extended operation.
-ENOSYS	if support for extended operations is not enabled in Kconfig
negative	value on extended operation errors.

◆ flash_fill()

int flash_fill	(	const struct device *	dev,
		uint8_t	val,
		off_t	offset,
		size_t	size
	)

#include <include/zephyr/drivers/flash.h>

Fill selected range of device with specified value.

Utility function that allows to fill specified range on a device with provided value. The offset and size of range need to be aligned to a write block size of a device.

Parameters

dev	: flash device
val	: value to use for filling the range
offset	: offset of the range to fill
size	: size of the range

Returns: 0 on success, negative errno code on fail.

◆ flash_flatten()

int flash_flatten	(	const struct device *	dev,
		off_t	offset,
		size_t	size
	)

#include <include/zephyr/drivers/flash.h>

Erase part or all of a flash memory or level it.

If device is explicit erase type device or device driver provides erase callback, the callback of the device is called, in which it behaves the same way as flash_erase. If a device does not require explicit erase, either because it has no erase at all or has auto-erase/erase-on-write, and does not provide erase callback then erase is emulated by leveling selected device memory area with erase_value assigned to device.

Erase page offset and size are constrains of paged, explicit erase devices, but can be relaxed with devices without such requirement, which means that it is up to user code to make sure they are correct as the function will return on, if these constrains are not met, -EINVAL for paged device, but may succeed on non-explicit erase devices. For RAM non-volatile devices the erase pages are emulated, at this point, to allow smooth transition for code relying on device being paged to function properly; but this is completely software constrain.

Generally: if your code previously required device to be erase prior to some actions to work, replace flash_erase calls with this function; but if your code can work with non-volatile RAM type devices, without emulating erase, you should rather have different path of execution for page-erase, i.e. Flash, devices and call flash_erase for them.

Parameters

dev	: flash device
offset	: erase area starting offset
size	: size of area to be erased

Returns: 0 on success, negative errno code on fail.

See also: flash_erase()

◆ flash_get_page_count()

size_t flash_get_page_count ( const struct device * dev )

#include <include/zephyr/drivers/flash.h>

Get the total number of flash pages.

Parameters

dev	flash device

Returns: Number of flash pages.

◆ flash_get_page_info_by_idx()

int flash_get_page_info_by_idx	(	const struct device *	dev,
		uint32_t	page_index,
		struct flash_pages_info *	info
	)

#include <include/zephyr/drivers/flash.h>

Get the size and start offset of flash page of certain index.

Parameters

dev	flash device
page_index	Index of the page. Index are counted from 0.
info	Page Info structure to be filled

Returns: 0 on success, -EINVAL if page of the index doesn't exist.

◆ flash_get_page_info_by_offs()

int flash_get_page_info_by_offs	(	const struct device *	dev,
		off_t	offset,
		struct flash_pages_info *	info
	)

#include <include/zephyr/drivers/flash.h>

Get the size and start offset of flash page at certain flash offset.

Parameters

dev	flash device
offset	Offset within the page
info	Page Info structure to be filled

Returns: 0 on success, -EINVAL if page of the offset doesn't exist.

◆ flash_get_parameters()

const struct flash_parameters * flash_get_parameters ( const struct device * dev )

#include <include/zephyr/drivers/flash.h>

Get pointer to flash_parameters structure.

Returned pointer points to a structure that should be considered constant through a runtime, regardless if it is defined in RAM or Flash. Developer is free to cache the structure pointer or copy its contents.

Returns: pointer to flash_parameters structure characteristic for the device.

◆ flash_get_write_block_size()

size_t flash_get_write_block_size ( const struct device * dev )

#include <include/zephyr/drivers/flash.h>

The write block size supported by the driver might differ from the write block size of memory used because the driver might implements write-modify algorithm.

Parameters

dev	flash device

Returns: write block size in bytes.

◆ flash_page_foreach()

void flash_page_foreach	(	const struct device *	dev,
		flash_page_cb	cb,
		void *	data

Parameters

dev	Device whose pages to iterate over
cb	Callback to invoke for each flash page
data	Private data for callback function

		size_t	len
	)

#include <include/zephyr/drivers/flash.h>

Write buffer into flash memory.

All flash drivers support a source buffer located either in RAM or SoC flash, without alignment restrictions on the source address. Write size and offset must be multiples of the minimum write block size supported by the driver.

Any necessary write protection management is performed by the driver write implementation itself.
