Device tree bindings for GPMC connected NANDs
|
|
|
|
GPMC connected NAND (found on OMAP boards) are represented as child nodes of
|
|
the GPMC controller with a name of "nand".
|
|
|
|
All timing relevant properties as well as generic gpmc child properties are
|
|
explained in a separate documents - please refer to
|
|
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/bus/ti-gpmc.txt
|
|
|
|
For NAND specific properties such as ECC modes or bus width, please refer to
|
|
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/nand.txt
|
|
|
|
|
|
Required properties:
|
|
|
|
- reg: The CS line the peripheral is connected to
|
|
|
|
Optional properties:
|
|
|
|
- nand-bus-width: Set this numeric value to 16 if the hardware
|
|
is wired that way. If not specified, a bus
|
|
width of 8 is assumed.
|
|
|
|
- ti,nand-ecc-opt: A string setting the ECC layout to use. One of:
|
|
"sw" 1-bit Hamming ecc code via software
|
|
"hw" <deprecated> use "ham1" instead
|
|
"hw-romcode" <deprecated> use "ham1" instead
|
|
"ham1" 1-bit Hamming ecc code
|
|
"bch4" 4-bit BCH ecc code
|
|
"bch8" 8-bit BCH ecc code
|
|
"bch16" 16-bit BCH ECC code
|
|
Refer below "How to select correct ECC scheme for your device ?"
|
|
|
|
- ti,nand-xfer-type: A string setting the data transfer type. One of:
|
|
|
|
"prefetch-polled" Prefetch polled mode (default)
|
|
"polled" Polled mode, without prefetch
|
|
"prefetch-dma" Prefetch enabled sDMA mode
|
|
"prefetch-irq" Prefetch enabled irq mode
|
|
|
|
- elm_id: <deprecated> use "ti,elm-id" instead
|
|
- ti,elm-id: Specifies phandle of the ELM devicetree node.
|
|
ELM is an on-chip hardware engine on TI SoC which is used for
|
|
locating ECC errors for BCHx algorithms. SoC devices which have
|
|
ELM hardware engines should specify this device node in .dtsi
|
|
Using ELM for ECC error correction frees some CPU cycles.
|
|
|
|
For inline partition table parsing (optional):
|
|
|
|
- #address-cells: should be set to 1
|
|
- #size-cells: should be set to 1
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
gpmc: gpmc@50000000 {
|
|
compatible = "ti,am3352-gpmc";
|

ti,hwmods = "gpmc";

How to select correct ECC scheme for your device ?
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
Higher ECC scheme usually means better protection against bit-flips and
|
|
increased system lifetime. However, selection of ECC scheme is dependent
|
|
on various other factors also like;
|
|
|
|
(1) support of built in hardware engines.
|
|
Some legacy OMAP SoC do not have ELM harware engine, so those SoC cannot
|
|
support ecc-schemes with hardware error-correction (BCHx_HW). However
|
|
such SoC can use ecc-schemes with software library for error-correction
|
|
(BCHx_HW_DETECTION_SW). The error correction capability with software
|
|
library remains equivalent to their hardware counter-part, but there is
|
|
slight CPU penalty when too many bit-flips are detected during reads.
|
|
|
|
(2) Device parameters like OOBSIZE.
|
|
Other factor which governs the selection of ecc-scheme is oob-size.
|
|
Higher ECC schemes require more OOB/Spare area to store ECC syndrome,
|
|
so the device should have enough free bytes available its OOB/Spare
|
|
area to accommodate ECC for entire page. In general following expression
|
|
helps in determining if given device can accommodate ECC syndrome:
|
|
"2 + (PAGESIZE / 512) * ECC_BYTES" >= OOBSIZE"
|
|
where
|
|
OOBSIZE number of bytes in OOB/spare area
|
|
PAGESIZE number of bytes in main-area of device page
|
|
ECC_BYTES number of ECC bytes generated to protect
|
|
512 bytes of data, which is:
|
|
'3' for HAM1_xx ecc schemes
|
|
'7' for BCH4_xx ecc schemes
|
|
'14' for BCH8_xx ecc schemes
|
|
'26' for BCH16_xx ecc schemes
|
|
|
|
Example(a): For a device with PAGESIZE = 2048 and OOBSIZE = 64 and
|
|
trying to use BCH16 (ECC_BYTES=26) ecc-scheme.
|
|
Number of ECC bytes per page = (2 + (2048 / 512) * 26) = 106 B
|
|
which is greater than capacity of NAND device (OOBSIZE=64)
|
|
Hence, BCH16 cannot be supported on given device. But it can
|
|
probably use lower ecc-schemes like BCH8.
|
|
|
|
Example(b): For a device with PAGESIZE = 2048 and OOBSIZE = 128 and
|
|
trying to use BCH16 (ECC_BYTES=26) ecc-scheme.
|
|
Number of ECC bytes per page = (2 + (2048 / 512) * 26) = 106 B
|
|
which can be accommodated in the OOB/Spare area of this device
|
|
(OOBSIZE=128). So this device can use BCH16 ecc-scheme.
