1 * Broadcom STB NAND Controller
3 The Broadcom Set-Top Box NAND controller supports low-level access to raw NAND
4 flash chips. It has a memory-mapped register interface for both control
5 registers and for its data input/output buffer. On some SoCs, this controller is
6 paired with a custom DMA engine (inventively named "Flash DMA") which supports
7 basic PROGRAM and READ functions, among other features.
9 This controller was originally designed for STB SoCs (BCM7xxx) but is now
10 available on a variety of Broadcom SoCs, including some BCM3xxx, BCM63xx, and
11 iProc/Cygnus. Its history includes several similar (but not fully register
15 - compatible : May contain an SoC-specific compatibility string (see below)
16 to account for any SoC-specific hardware bits that may be
17 added on top of the base core controller.
18 In addition, must contain compatibility information about
19 the core NAND controller, of the following form:
20 "brcm,brcmnand" and an appropriate version compatibility
21 string, like "brcm,brcmnand-v7.0"
32 - reg : the register start and length for NAND register region.
33 (optional) Flash DMA register range (if present)
34 (optional) NAND flash cache range (if at non-standard offset)
35 - reg-names : a list of the names corresponding to the previous register
36 ranges. Should contain "nand" and (optionally)
37 "flash-dma" and/or "nand-cache".
38 - interrupts : The NAND CTLRDY interrupt and (if Flash DMA is available)
40 - interrupt-names : May be "nand_ctlrdy" or "flash_dma_done", if broken out as
41 individual interrupts.
42 May be "nand", if the SoC has the individual NAND
43 interrupts multiplexed behind another custom piece of
45 - interrupt-parent : See standard interrupt bindings
46 - #address-cells : <1> - subnodes give the chip-select number
50 - clock : reference to the clock for the NAND controller
51 - clock-names : "nand" (required for the above clock)
52 - brcm,nand-has-wp : Some versions of this IP include a write-protect
53 (WP) control bit. It is always available on >=
54 v7.0. Use this property to describe the rare
55 earlier versions of this core that include WP
57 -- Additional SoC-specific NAND controller properties --
59 The NAND controller is integrated differently on the variety of SoCs on which it
60 is found. Part of this integration involves providing status and enable bits
61 with which to control the 8 exposed NAND interrupts, as well as hardware for
62 configuring the endianness of the data bus. On some SoCs, these features are
63 handled via standard, modular components (e.g., their interrupts look like a
64 normal IRQ chip), but on others, they are controlled in unique and interesting
65 ways, sometimes with registers that lump multiple NAND-related functions
66 together. The former case can be described simply by the standard interrupts
67 properties in the main controller node. But for the latter exceptional cases,
68 we define additional 'compatible' properties and associated register resources within the NAND controller node above.
70 - compatible: Can be one of several SoC-specific strings. Each SoC may have
71 different requirements for its additional properties, as described below each
74 * "brcm,nand-bcm63138"
75 - reg: (required) the 'NAND_INT_BASE' register range, with separate status
77 - reg-names: (required) "nand-int-base"
80 - compatible: should contain "brcm,nand-bcm<soc>", "brcm,nand-bcm6368"
81 - reg: (required) the 'NAND_INTR_BASE' register range, with combined status
82 and enable registers, and boot address registers
83 - reg-names: (required) "nand-int-base"
86 - reg: (required) the "IDM" register range, for interrupt enable and APB
87 bus access endianness configuration, and the "EXT" register range,
88 for interrupt status/ack.
89 - reg-names: (required) a list of the names corresponding to the previous
90 register ranges. Should contain "iproc-idm" and "iproc-ext".
95 Each controller (compatible: "brcm,brcmnand") may contain one or more subnodes
96 to represent enabled chip-selects which (may) contain NAND flash chips. Their
97 properties are as follows.
100 - compatible : should contain "brcm,nandcs"
101 - reg : a single integer representing the chip-select
102 number (e.g., 0, 1, 2, etc.)
103 - #address-cells : see partition.txt
104 - #size-cells : see partition.txt
105 - nand-ecc-strength : see nand.txt
106 - nand-ecc-step-size : must be 512 or 1024. See nand.txt
109 - nand-on-flash-bbt : boolean, to enable the on-flash BBT for this
110 chip-select. See nand.txt
111 - brcm,nand-oob-sector-size : integer, to denote the spare area sector size
112 expected for the ECC layout in use. This size, in
113 addition to the strength and step-size,
114 determines how the hardware BCH engine will lay
115 out the parity bytes it stores on the flash.
116 This property can be automatically determined by
117 the flash geometry (particularly the NAND page
118 and OOB size) in many cases, but when booting
119 from NAND, the boot controller has only a limited
120 number of available options for its default ECC
123 Each nandcs device node may optionally contain sub-nodes describing the flash
124 partition mapping. See partition.txt for more detail.
