  • 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）

  • SPI-NAND subsystem (内核空间)

SPI-NAND协议在MTD子系统中用于连接SPI NAND闪存。

Configuration

Kernel configuration

ST交货中默认激活MTD。 但是，如果需要特定的配置，则本节说明如何在内核中激活/停用MTD。

使用Linux Menuconfig工具在内核配置中激活MTD：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

Device tree configuration

借助STM32CubeMX可以完成DT配置。

NAND Flash memory

请参考 FMC device tree configuration.

SPI NOR/NAND Flash memory

How to use the framework

可以在MTD框架上使用处理读/写/擦除操作的文件系统。 请参考UBIFS support through MTD.

您还可以使用MTD实用程序与MTD子系统进行交互。 MTD实用程序[8] 是一组工具，可用于通过MTD字符接口对闪存执行操作。 最常用的实用程序是：

  • mtdinfo
  • flash_erase
  • flashcp
  • nandwrite
  • nanddump
