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"
30 - reg : the register start and length for NAND register region.
31 (optional) Flash DMA register range (if present)
32 (optional) NAND flash cache range (if at non-standard offset)
33 - reg-names : a list of the names corresponding to the previous register
34 ranges. Should contain "nand" and (optionally)
35 "flash-dma" and/or "nand-cache".
36 - interrupts : The NAND CTLRDY interrupt and (if Flash DMA is available)
38 - interrupt-names : May be "nand_ctlrdy" or "flash_dma_done", if broken out as
39 individual interrupts.
40 May be "nand", if the SoC has the individual NAND
41 interrupts multiplexed behind another custom piece of
43 - interrupt-parent : See standard interrupt bindings
44 - #address-cells : <1> - subnodes give the chip-select number
48 - clock : reference to the clock for the NAND controller
49 - clock-names : "nand" (required for the above clock)
50 - brcm,nand-has-wp : Some versions of this IP include a write-protect
51 (WP) control bit. It is always available on >=
52 v7.0. Use this property to describe the rare
53 earlier versions of this core that include WP
55 -- Additonal SoC-specific NAND controller properties --
57 The NAND controller is integrated differently on the variety of SoCs on which it
58 is found. Part of this integration involves providing status and enable bits
59 with which to control the 8 exposed NAND interrupts, as well as hardware for
60 configuring the endianness of the data bus. On some SoCs, these features are
61 handled via standard, modular components (e.g., their interrupts look like a
62 normal IRQ chip), but on others, they are controlled in unique and interesting
63 ways, sometimes with registers that lump multiple NAND-related functions
64 together. The former case can be described simply by the standard interrupts
65 properties in the main controller node. But for the latter exceptional cases,
66 we define additional 'compatible' properties and associated register resources within the NAND controller node above.
68 - compatible: Can be one of several SoC-specific strings. Each SoC may have
69 different requirements for its additional properties, as described below each
72 * "brcm,nand-bcm63138"
73 - reg: (required) the 'NAND_INT_BASE' register range, with separate status
75 - reg-names: (required) "nand-int-base"
78 - compatible: should contain "brcm,nand-bcm<soc>", "brcm,nand-bcm6368"
79 - reg: (required) the 'NAND_INTR_BASE' register range, with combined status
80 and enable registers, and boot address registers
81 - reg-names: (required) "nand-int-base"
84 - reg: (required) the "IDM" register range, for interrupt enable and APB
85 bus access endianness configuration, and the "EXT" register range,
86 for interrupt status/ack.
87 - reg-names: (required) a list of the names corresponding to the previous
88 register ranges. Should contain "iproc-idm" and "iproc-ext".
93 Each controller (compatible: "brcm,brcmnand") may contain one or more subnodes
94 to represent enabled chip-selects which (may) contain NAND flash chips. Their
95 properties are as follows.
98 - compatible : should contain "brcm,nandcs"
99 - reg : a single integer representing the chip-select
100 number (e.g., 0, 1, 2, etc.)
101 - #address-cells : see partition.txt
102 - #size-cells : see partition.txt
103 - nand-ecc-strength : see nand.txt
104 - nand-ecc-step-size : must be 512 or 1024. See nand.txt
107 - nand-on-flash-bbt : boolean, to enable the on-flash BBT for this
108 chip-select. See nand.txt
109 - brcm,nand-oob-sector-size : integer, to denote the spare area sector size
110 expected for the ECC layout in use. This size, in
111 addition to the strength and step-size,
112 determines how the hardware BCH engine will lay
113 out the parity bytes it stores on the flash.
114 This property can be automatically determined by
115 the flash geometry (particularly the NAND page
116 and OOB size) in many cases, but when booting
117 from NAND, the boot controller has only a limited
118 number of available options for its default ECC
121 Each nandcs device node may optionally contain sub-nodes describing the flash
122 partition mapping. See partition.txt for more detail.
