SUMMARY
MTD(内存技术设备)子系统为原始闪存提供抽象层。 在使用不同的Flash类型和技术(例如,Flash)时,可以使用相同的API。 SLC NAND,SPI NOR,...

Framework purpose

本文的目的是介绍MTD Linux子系统:

  • 一般信息
  • 主要组成部分/利益相关者
  • 如何使用MTD API

System overview

MTD v1.1.0.png

Component description

  • 执行“文件I / O”的用户空间应用程序需要像对待磁盘一样查看闪存,而希望完成“原始I / O”的程序就像访问磁盘一样访问该存储器。 是一个角色设备。
  • VFS (内核空间)

虚拟文件系统。 请参考VFS文档 [1].

  • mtdchar (内核空间)

通常称为/ dev / mtdX。 对于MTD字符设备,请参考MTD概述文档 [2].

  • mtdblock (内核空间)

通常称为/ dev / mtdblockX。 除非您确切知道自己在做什么,否则不要使用mtdblock。 对于MTD块设备,请参考MTD块文档[3].

  • MTD core (内核空间)

MTD内核为原始闪存提供了一个抽象层。

  • Raw NAND subsystem (内核空间)

MTD子系统中使用Raw NAND协议来连接NAND闪存。

  • SPI-MEM subsystem (内核空间)

SPI-MEM协议在MTD子系统中用于连接各种SPI存储器(NOR,NAND)

请参阅QUADSPI internal peripheral.

API description

有关Linux MTD API的描述,请参阅MTD API文档 [7].

Configuration

Kernel configuration

MTD is activated by default in ST deliveries. Nevertheless, if a specific configuration is needed, this section indicates how MTD can be activated/deactivated in the kernel.

Activate MTD in the kernel configuration with the Linux Menuconfig tool: Menuconfig or how to configure kernel.

SLC NAND Flash memory

[*] Device Drivers --->
    <*> Memory Technology Device (MTD) support --->
        <*> RAW/Parallel NAND Device Support --->
            <*> Support for NAND controller on STM32MP Socs.

SPI NOR/NAND Flash memory

[*] Device Drivers --->
    <*> Memory Technology Device (MTD) support --->
        Self-contained MTD device drivers --->
            <*> Support most SPI Flash chips (AT26DF, M25P, W25X, ...)      
        <*> SPI NAND device Support
        <*> SPI-NOR device support
    <*> SPI support --->
        -*- SPI memory extension
        <*> STMicroelectronics STM32 QUAD SPI controller

Device tree configuration

The DT configuration can be done thanks to STM32CubeMX.

NAND Flash memory

Please refer to the FMC device tree configuration.

SPI NOR/NAND Flash memory

Please refer to the QUADSPI device tree configuration.

How to use the framework

A file system, which handles read/write/erase operations, can be used over the MTD Framework. Please refer to the UBIFS support through MTD.

You can also interact with the MTD subsystem using the MTD utilities. The MTD utilities[8] are a set of tools that can be used to perform operations on Flash memories through the MTD character interface.

The most common utilities used are:

  • mtdinfo
  • flash_erase
  • flashcp
  • nandwrite
  • nanddump

How to trace and debug the framework

How to monitor

The sysfs interface provides detail information on each mtd device.

 root:~# cat /sys/class/mtd/mtd0/name
 fsbl
 root:~# cat /sys/class/mtd/mtd0/type
 nand
 root:~# cat /sys/class/mtd/mtd0/erasesize
 262144
 root:~# cat /sys/class/mtd/mtd0/ecc_strength
 8
 root:~# cat /sys/class/mtd/mtd0/bad_blocks
 0
 root:~# cat /sys/class/mtd/mtd0/ecc_failures
 0

How to trace

A detail dynamic trace is available here How to use the kernel dynamic debug.

 root:~# echo "file drivers/mtd/* +p" > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control

Source code location

The MTD framework is drivers/mtd | |}} here .
