AT45D(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual AT45D(4)
NAME
at45d - driver for DataFlash(tm) non-volatile storage devices
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your
kernel configuration file:
device at45d
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the
following line in loader.conf(5):
at45d_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The at45d driver provides support for the family of non-volatile storage
devices known collectively as DataFlash(tm). DataFlash chips typically
have part numbers beginning with AT45DB. The at45d driver supports only
the SPI bus versions of each AT45DB device, indicated by the last digit
of the part number being 1 or 2.
The at45d driver uses opcode 0x9f to read the manufacturer and device ID
data to determine whether the device is supported. The device ID is
looked up using a table of data within the driver which describes the
attributes of each supported device, such as block size, sector size, and
device capacity. When a supported device is found, the at45d driver
creates a disk device and makes it accessible at /dev/flash/at45d?. The
new disk device is then tasted by the available geom(4) modules as with
any disk device.
HARDWARE
The at45d driver provides support for the following devices:
o AT45DB011B
o AT45DB021B
o AT45DB041x
o AT45DB081B
o AT45DB161x
o AT45DB321x
o AT45DB321x
o AT45DB641E
o AT45DB642x
FDT CONFIGURATION
On an fdt(4) based system, the at45d device is defined as a slave device
subnode of the SPI bus controller node. All properties documented in the
spibus.txt bindings document can be used with the at45d device. The most
commonly-used ones are documented below.
The following properties are required in the at45d device subnode:
compatible
Must be the string "atmel,at45".
reg Chip select address of device.
spi-max-frequency
The sector size of the disk created for this storage device. It
must be a multiple of the device's page size. The default is the
device page size.
spi-cpha
Empty property indicating the slave device requires shifted clock
phase (CPHA) mode.
spi-cpol
Empty property indicating the slave device requires inverse clock
polarity (CPOL) mode.
spi-cs-high
Empty property indicating the slave device requires chip select
active high.
HINTS CONFIGURATION
On a device.hints(5) based system, such as MIPS, these values are
configurable for at45d:
hint.at45d.%d.at
The spibus the at45d instance is attached to.
hint.at45d.%d.clock
The maximum bus frequency to use when communicating with this
device. Actual bus speed may be lower, depending on the
capabilities of the SPI bus controller hardware.
hint.at45d.%d.cs
The chip-select number to assert when performing I/O for this
device. Set the high bit (1 << 31) to invert the logic level of
the chip select line.
hint.at45d.%d.mode
The SPI mode (0-3) to use when communicating with this device.
hint.at45d.%d.sectorsize
The sector size of the disk created for this storage device. It
must be a multiple of the device's page size. The default is the
device page size.
FILES
/dev/flash/at45d? Provides read/write access to the storage device.
/dev/flash/spi? An alias for the /dev/at45d? device, for backwards
compatibility with older versions of the driver.
