Representing flash partitions in devicetree
|
|
|
|
Partitions can be represented by sub-nodes of an mtd 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 mtd 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 mtd 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
|
|
mtd 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 mtd bank.
|
|
|
|
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 {
|

#address-cells = <1>;

|
|
read-only;
