.Sh NAME
.Nm at45d
.Nd driver for DataFlash(tm) non-volatile storage devices
.Sh SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel,
place the following line in your
kernel configuration file:
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
.Cd "device at45d"
.Ed
.Pp
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
module at boot time, place the following line in
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
.Bd -literal -offset indent
at45d_load="YES"
.Ed
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver provides support for the family of non-volatile storage
devices known collectively as DataFlash(tm).
DataFlash chips typically have part numbers beginning with AT45DB.
The
.Nm
driver supports only the SPI bus versions of each AT45DB device,
indicated by the last digit of the part number being 1 or 2.
.Pp
The
.Nm
driver uses opcode 0x9f to read the manufacturer and device ID
data to determine whether the device is supported.
The device ID is looked up using a table of data within the driver
which describes the attributes of each supported device,
such as block size, sector size, and device capacity.
When a supported device is found, the
.Nm
driver creates a disk device and makes it accessible at
.Pa /dev/flash/at45d? .
The new disk device is then tasted by the available
.Xr geom 4
modules as with any disk device.
.Sh HARDWARE
The
.Nm
driver provides support for the following devices:

.Sh FDT CONFIGURATION
On an
.Xr fdt 4
based system, the
.Nm
device is defined as a slave device subnode
of the SPI bus controller node.
All properties documented in the
.Va spibus.txt
bindings document can be used with the
.Nm
device.
The most commonly-used ones are documented below.
.Pp
The following properties are required in the
.Nm
device subnode:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Va compatible
Must be the string "atmel,at45".
.It Va reg
Chip select address of device.
.It Va spi-max-frequency
The maximum bus frequency to use when communicating with this slave device.
Actual bus speed may be lower, depending on the capabilities of the SPI
bus controller hardware.
.El
.Pp
The following properties are optional for the
.Nm
device subnode:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Va freebsd,sectorsize
The sector size of the disk created for this storage device.
It must be a multiple of the device's page size.
The default is the device page size.
.It Va spi-cpha
Empty property indicating the slave device requires shifted clock
phase (CPHA) mode.
.It Va spi-cpol
Empty property indicating the slave device requires inverse clock
polarity (CPOL) mode.
.It Va spi-cs-high
Empty property indicating the slave device requires chip select active high.
.El
.Sh HINTS CONFIGURATION
On a
.Xr device.hints 5
based system, such as
.Li MIPS ,
these values are configurable for
.Nm :
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Va hint.at45d.%d.at
The spibus the
.Nm
instance is attached to.
.It Va hint.at45d.%d.clock
The maximum bus frequency to use when communicating with this device.
Actual bus speed may be lower, depending on the capabilities of the SPI
bus controller hardware.
.It Va hint.at45d.%d.cs
The chip-select number to assert when performing I/O for this device.
Set the high bit (1 << 31) to invert the logic level of the chip select line.
.It Va hint.at45d.%d.mode
The SPI mode (0-3) to use when communicating with this device.
.It Va hint.at45d.%d.sectorsize
The sector size of the disk created for this storage device.
It must be a multiple of the device's page size.
The default is the device page size.
.El
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -width /dev/flash/at45d?
.It Pa /dev/flash/at45d?
Provides read/write access to the storage device.
.It Pa /dev/flash/spi?
An alias for the
.Pa /dev/at45d?
device, for backwards compatibility with older versions of the driver.
.El

.Xr fdt 4 ,
.Xr geom 4
.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm
driver first appeared in
.Fx 6.0 .
