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: • AT45DB011B • AT45DB021B • AT45DB041x • AT45DB081B • AT45DB161x • AT45DB321x • AT45DB321x • AT45DB641E • 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 maximum bus frequency to use when communicating with this slave device. Actual bus speed may be lower, depending on the capabilities of the SPI bus controller hardware. The following properties are optional for the at45d device subnode: freebsd,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. 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.
