Subject: NDCBx registers in PXA3XX MTD driver
Date: Thu, 18 Feb 2010 13:06:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <62fd715d1002180406y1181bbe9y83ba3cd0277989c4@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi folks,
I'm rather new in the ARM / Linux world and currently working on a
PXA168-based board.
I'm trying to understand the implementation of the pxa3xx_nand.c
driver and came across 3 lines of code I cannot understand.
The 3 lines in question are the one where the NDCB0/1/2 registers are
written in write_cmd()
---
nand_writel(info, NDCB0, info->ndcb0);
nand_writel(info, NDCB0, info->ndcb1);
nand_writel(info, NDCB0, info->ndcb2);
---
see here for context...
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.32/drivers/mtd/nand/pxa3xx_nand.c#L459
Why are all 3 values (ndcb0, ndcb1, ndcb2) written to the same
register NDCB0 whereas the PXA3xx and PXA168 have different offsets
(0x48, 0x4C and 0x50) for these 3 registers as documented in
PXA3xx_DM_Vol_II in chapter "3.8.10 NAND Controller Command Buffers
(NDCBx)" (available from Marvell @
http://www.marvell.com/products/processors/applications/pxa_3xx/PXA3xx_Developers_Manual.zip
)
I first thought about a possible hardware Errata but couldn't find any
hint in this direction.
I would have expected
nand_writel(info, NDCB0, info->ndcb0);
nand_writel(info, NDCB1, info->ndcb1);
nand_writel(info, NDCB2, info->ndcb2);
Any clue on this?
Thanks for your help !
Romain
