28.Dt MX25L 4
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm mx25l
32.Nd driver for SpiFlash(tm) compatible non-volatile storage devices
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34To compile this driver into the kernel,
35place the following line in your
36kernel configuration file:
37.Bd -ragged -offset indent
38.Cd "device mx25l"
39.Ed
40.Pp
41Alternatively, to load the driver as a
42module at boot time, place the following line in
43.Xr loader.conf 5 :
44.Bd -literal -offset indent
45mx25l_load="YES"
46.Ed
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Nm
50driver provides support for the family of non-volatile storage
51devices known collectively as SpiFlash(tm).
52SpiFlash chips typically have part numbers beginning with EN25,
53IS25, MX25, S25, SST25, or W25.
54.Pp
55The
56.Nm
57driver uses opcode 0x9f to read the manufacturer and device ID
58data to determine whether the device is supported.
59The device ID is looked up using a table of data within the driver
60which describes the attributes of each supported device,
61such as block size, sector size, and device capacity.
62When a supported device is found, the
63.Nm
64driver creates a disk device and makes it accessible at
65.Pa /dev/flash/mx25l? .
66The new disk device is then tasted by the available
67.Xr geom 4
68modules as with any disk device.

130.Sh FDT CONFIGURATION
131On an
132.Xr fdt 4
133based system, the
134.Nm
135device is defined as a slave device subnode
136of the SPI bus controller node.
137All properties documented in the
138.Va spibus.txt
139bindings document can be used with the
140.Nm
141device.
142The most commonly-used ones are documented below.
143.Pp
144The following properties are required in the
145.Nm
146device subnode:
147.Bl -tag -width indent
148.It Va compatible
149Must be the string "jedec,spi-nor".
150.It Va reg
151Chip select address of device.
152.It Va spi-max-frequency
153The maximum bus frequency to use when communicating with this slave device.
154Actual bus speed may be lower, depending on the capabilities of the SPI
155bus controller hardware.
156.El
157.Pp
158The following properties are optional for the
159.Nm
160device subnode:
161.Bl -tag -width indent
162.It Va spi-cpha
163Empty property indicating the slave device requires shifted clock
164phase (CPHA) mode.
165.It Va spi-cpol
166Empty property indicating the slave device requires inverse clock
167polarity (CPOL) mode.
168.It Va spi-cs-high
169Empty property indicating the slave device requires chip select active high.
170.El
171.Sh HINTS CONFIGURATION
172On a
173.Xr device.hints 5
174based system, such as
175.Li MIPS ,
176these values are configurable for
177.Nm :
178.Bl -tag -width indent
179.It Va hint.mx25l.%d.at
180The spibus the
181.Nm
182instance is attached to.
183.It Va hint.mx25l.%d.clock
184The maximum bus frequency to use when communicating with this device.
185Actual bus speed may be lower, depending on the capabilities of the SPI
186bus controller hardware.
187.It Va hint.mx25l.%d.cs
188The chip-select number to assert when performing I/O for this device.
189Set the high bit (1 << 31) to invert the logic level of the chip select line.
190.It Va hint.mx25l.%d.mode
191The SPI mode (0-3) to use when communicating with this device.
192.El
193.Sh FILES
194.Bl -tag -width /dev/flash/mx25l?
195.It Pa /dev/flash/mx25l?
196Provides read/write access to the storage device.
197.It Pa /dev/flash/spi?
198An alias for the
199.Pa /dev/mx25l?
200device, for backwards compatibility with older versions of the driver.
