This chapter describes the advanced functionality of the NAND driver. For a list of functions which can be overridden by the board driver see the documentation of the nand_chip structure.
The nand driver can control chip arrays. Therefor the board driver must provide an own select_chip function. This function must (de)select the requested chip. The function pointer in the nand_chip structure must be set before calling nand_scan(). The maxchip parameter of nand_scan() defines the maximum number of chips to scan for. Make sure that the select_chip function can handle the requested number of chips.
The nand driver concatenates the chips to one virtual chip and provides this virtual chip to the MTD layer.
Note: The driver can only handle linear chip arrays of equally sized chips. There is no support for parallel arrays which extend the buswidth.
GPIO based example
static void board_select_chip (struct mtd_info *mtd, int chip) { /* Deselect all chips, set all nCE pins high */ GPIO(BOARD_NAND_NCE) |= 0xff; if (chip >= 0) GPIO(BOARD_NAND_NCE) &= ~ (1 << chip); } |
Address lines based example. Its assumed that the nCE pins are connected to an address decoder.
static void board_select_chip (struct mtd_info *mtd, int chip) { struct nand_chip *this = (struct nand_chip *) mtd->priv; /* Deselect all chips */ this->IO_ADDR_R &= ~BOARD_NAND_ADDR_MASK; this->IO_ADDR_W &= ~BOARD_NAND_ADDR_MASK; switch (chip) { case 0: this->IO_ADDR_R |= BOARD_NAND_ADDR_CHIP0; this->IO_ADDR_W |= BOARD_NAND_ADDR_CHIP0; break; .... case n: this->IO_ADDR_R |= BOARD_NAND_ADDR_CHIPn; this->IO_ADDR_W |= BOARD_NAND_ADDR_CHIPn; break; } } |
