Some may use a fixed -flash layout set at production time. Some may use on-flash table that describes -the geometry and naming/purpose of each functional region. It is also possible -to see these methods mixed. - -To assist system software in locating partitions, we allow describing which -method is used for a given flash device. To describe the method there should be -a subnode of the flash device that is named 'partitions'. It must have a -'compatible' property, which is used to identify the method to use. - -When a single partition is represented with a DT node (it depends on a used -format) it may also be described using above rules ('compatible' and optionally -some extra properties / subnodes). It allows describing more complex, -hierarchical (multi-level) layouts and should be used if there is some -significant relation between partitions or some partition internally uses -another partitioning method. - -Available bindings are listed in the "partitions" subdirectory. - - -Fixed Partitions -================ - -Partitions can be represented by sub-nodes of a flash device. This can be used -on platforms which have strong conventions about which portions of a flash are -used for what purposes, but which don't use an on-flash partition table such -as RedBoot. - -The partition table should be a subnode of the flash node and should be named -'partitions'. This node should have the following property: -- compatible : (required) must be "fixed-partitions" -Partitions are then defined in subnodes of the partitions node. - -For backwards compatibility partitions as direct subnodes of the flash device are -supported. This use is discouraged. -NOTE: also for backwards compatibility, direct subnodes that have a compatible -string are not considered partitions, as they may be used for other bindings. - -#address-cells & #size-cells must both be present in the partitions subnode of the -flash device. There are two valid values for both: -<1>: for partitions that require a single 32-bit cell to represent their - size/address (aka the value is below 4 GiB) -<2>: for partitions that require two 32-bit cells to represent their - size/address (aka the value is 4 GiB or greater). - -Required properties: -- reg : The partition's offset and size within the flash - -Optional properties: -- label : The label / name for this partition. If omitted, the label is taken - from the node name (excluding the unit address). -- read-only : This parameter, if present, is a hint to Linux that this - partition should only be mounted read-only. This is usually used for flash - partitions containing early-boot firmware images or data which should not be - clobbered. -- lock : Do not unlock the partition at initialization time (not supported on - all devices) - -Examples: - - -flash@0 { - partitions { - compatible = "fixed-partitions"; - #address-cells = <1>; - #size-cells = <1>; - - partition@0 { - label = "u-boot"; - reg = <0x0000000 0x100000>; - read-only; - }; - - uimage@100000 { - reg = <0x0100000 0x200000>; - }; - }; -}; - -flash@1 { - partitions { - compatible = "fixed-partitions"; - #address-cells = <1>; - #size-cells = <2>; - - /* a 4 GiB partition */ - partition@0 { - label = "filesystem"; - reg = <0x00000000 0x1 0x00000000>; - }; - }; -}; - -flash@2 { - partitions { - compatible = "fixed-partitions"; - #address-cells = <2>; - #size-cells = <2>; - - /* an 8 GiB partition */ - partition@0 { - label = "filesystem #1"; - reg = <0x0 0x00000000 0x2 0x00000000>; - }; - - /* a 4 GiB partition */ - partition@200000000 { - label = "filesystem #2"; - reg = <0x2 0x00000000 0x1 0x00000000>; - }; - }; -}; - -flash@3 { - partitions { - compatible = "fixed-partitions"; - #address-cells = <1>; - #size-cells = <1>; - - partition@0 { - label = "bootloader"; - reg = <0x000000 0x100000>; - read-only; - }; - - firmware@100000 { - label = "firmware"; - reg = <0x100000 0xe00000>; - compatible = "brcm,trx"; - }; - - calibration@f00000 { - label = "calibration"; - reg = <0xf00000 0x100000>; - compatible = "fixed-partitions"; - ranges = <0 0xf00000 0x100000>; - #address-cells = <1>; - #size-cells = <1>; - - partition@0 { - label = "wifi0"; - reg = <0x000000 0x080000>; - }; - - partition@80000 { - label = "wifi1"; - reg = <0x080000 0x080000>; - }; - }; - }; -}; |
