| How to propose a new flash addition |
| ----------------------------------- |
| |
| Most SPI NOR flashes comply with the JEDEC JESD216 |
| Serial Flash Discoverable Parameter (SFDP) standard. SFDP describes |
| the functional and feature capabilities of serial flash devices in a |
| standard set of internal read-only parameter tables. |
| |
| The SPI NOR driver queries the SFDP tables in order to determine the |
| flash's parameters and settings. If the flash defines the SFDP tables |
| it's likely that you won't need a flash entry at all, and instead |
| rely on the generic flash driver which probes the flash solely based |
| on its SFDP data. All one has to do is to specify the "jedec,spi-nor" |
| compatible in the device tree. |
| |
| There are cases however where you need to define an explicit flash |
| entry. This typically happens when the flash has settings or support |
| that is not covered by the SFDP tables (e.g. Block Protection), or |
| when the flash contains mangled SFDP data. If the later, one needs |
| to implement the ``spi_nor_fixups`` hooks in order to amend the SFDP |
| parameters with the correct values. |
| |
| Minimum testing requirements |
| ----------------------------- |
| |
| Do all the tests from below and paste them in the commit's comments |
| section, after the ``---`` marker. |
| |
| 1) Specify the controller that you used to test the flash and specify |
| the frequency at which the flash was operated, e.g.:: |
| |
| This flash is populated on the X board and was tested at Y |
| frequency using the Z (put compatible) SPI controller. |
| |
| 2) Dump the sysfs entries and print the md5/sha1/sha256 SFDP checksum:: |

| |
| Please dump the SFDP tables using ``xxd -p``. It enables us to do |
| the reverse operation and convert the hexdump to binary with |
| ``xxd -rp``. Dumping the SFDP data with ``hexdump -Cv`` is accepted, |
| but less desirable. |
| |
| 3) Dump debugfs data:: |
| |

| 4) Use `mtd-utils <https://git.infradead.org/mtd-utils.git>`__ |
| and verify that erase, read and page program operations work fine:: |
| |
| root@1:~# dd if=/dev/urandom of=./spi_test bs=1M count=2 |
| 2+0 records in |
| 2+0 records out |

| |
| If the flash comes erased by default and the previous erase was ignored, |
| we won't catch it, thus test the erase again:: |
| |
| root@1:~# mtd_debug erase /dev/mtd0 0 2097152 |
| Erased 2097152 bytes from address 0x00000000 in flash |

| Copied 2097152 bytes from address 0x00000000 in flash to spi_read |
| |
| root@1:~# sha256sum spi* |

| |
| Dump some other relevant data:: |
| |
| root@1:~# mtd_debug info /dev/mtd0 |
