[PATCH v2 26/29] docs: mtd: convert to ReST

Mauro Carvalho Chehab
2019-06-18T20:54:57Z

Rename the mtd documentation files to ReST, add an
index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html
output via the Sphinx build system.

It should be noticed that Sphinx doesn't handle very well
URLs with dots in the middle. Thankfully, internally, the '.'
char is translated to %2E, so we can jus use %2E instead of
dots, and this will work fine on both text and processed files.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

This figure represents a sector of 256 bytes.
cp is my abbreviation for column parity, rp for row parity.

Let's start to explain column parity.
-cp0 is the parity that belongs to all bit0, bit2, bit4, bit6.
-so the sum of all bit0, bit2, bit4 and bit6 values + cp0 itself is even.
+
+- cp0 is the parity that belongs to all bit0, bit2, bit4, bit6.
+
+ so the sum of all bit0, bit2, bit4 and bit6 values + cp0 itself is even.
+
Similarly cp1 is the sum of all bit1, bit3, bit5 and bit7.
-cp2 is the parity over bit0, bit1, bit4 and bit5
-cp3 is the parity over bit2, bit3, bit6 and bit7.
-cp4 is the parity over bit0, bit1, bit2 and bit3.
-cp5 is the parity over bit4, bit5, bit6 and bit7.
+
+- cp2 is the parity over bit0, bit1, bit4 and bit5
+- cp3 is the parity over bit2, bit3, bit6 and bit7.
+- cp4 is the parity over bit0, bit1, bit2 and bit3.
+- cp5 is the parity over bit4, bit5, bit6 and bit7.
+
Note that each of cp0 .. cp5 is exactly one bit.

Row parity actually works almost the same.
-rp0 is the parity of all even bytes (0, 2, 4, 6, ... 252, 254)
-rp1 is the parity of all odd bytes (1, 3, 5, 7, ..., 253, 255)
-rp2 is the parity of all bytes 0, 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, ...
-(so handle two bytes, then skip 2 bytes).
-rp3 is covers the half rp2 does not cover (bytes 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, ...)
-for rp4 the rule is cover 4 bytes, skip 4 bytes, cover 4 bytes, skip 4 etc.
-so rp4 calculates parity over bytes 0, 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 11, 16, ...)
-and rp5 covers the other half, so bytes 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20, ..
+
+- rp0 is the parity of all even bytes (0, 2, 4, 6, ... 252, 254)

+
The story now becomes quite boring. I guess you get the idea.
-rp6 covers 8 bytes then skips 8 etc
-rp7 skips 8 bytes then covers 8 etc
-rp8 covers 16 bytes then skips 16 etc
-rp9 skips 16 bytes then covers 16 etc
-rp10 covers 32 bytes then skips 32 etc
-rp11 skips 32 bytes then covers 32 etc
-rp12 covers 64 bytes then skips 64 etc
-rp13 skips 64 bytes then covers 64 etc
-rp14 covers 128 bytes then skips 128
-rp15 skips 128 bytes then covers 128
+
+- rp6 covers 8 bytes then skips 8 etc
+- rp7 skips 8 bytes then covers 8 etc
+- rp8 covers 16 bytes then skips 16 etc
+- rp9 skips 16 bytes then covers 16 etc
+- rp10 covers 32 bytes then skips 32 etc
+- rp11 skips 32 bytes then covers 32 etc
+- rp12 covers 64 bytes then skips 64 etc
+- rp13 skips 64 bytes then covers 64 etc
+- rp14 covers 128 bytes then skips 128
+- rp15 skips 128 bytes then covers 128

In the end the parity bits are grouped together in three bytes as
follows:
+
+===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== =====
ECC Bit 7 Bit 6 Bit 5 Bit 4 Bit 3 Bit 2 Bit 1 Bit 0
+===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== =====
ECC 0 rp07 rp06 rp05 rp04 rp03 rp02 rp01 rp00
ECC 1 rp15 rp14 rp13 rp12 rp11 rp10 rp09 rp08
ECC 2 cp5 cp4 cp3 cp2 cp1 cp0 1 1
+===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== =====

I detected after writing this that ST application note AN1823
(http://www.st.com/stonline/) gives a much
nicer picture.(but they use line parity as term where I use row parity)
Oh well, I'm graphically challenged, so suffer with me for a moment :-)

And I could not reuse the ST picture anyway for copyright reasons.

are 1 we have one correctable bit error. If there is 1 bit 1, we have an
