Detailed Description

A hardware device capable of writing and reading blocks.

Definition at line 53 of file BlockDevice.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ~BlockDevice()

virtual ~BlockDevice ( )
virtual

Lifetime of a block device.

Definition at line 70 of file BlockDevice.h.

Member Function Documentation

◆ get_default_instance()

static BlockDevice * get_default_instance ( )
static

Return the default block device.

Returns the default block device based on the configuration JSON. Use the components in target.json or application config to change the default block device.

An application can override all target settings by implementing BlockDevice::get_default_instance() - the default definition is weak, and calls get_target_default_instance().

◆ init()

◆ deinit()

◆ sync()

virtual int sync ( )
virtual

Ensure data on storage is in sync with the driver.

Returns
0 on success or a negative error code on failure

Reimplemented in BufferedBlockDevice, ChainingBlockDevice, ExhaustibleBlockDevice, FlashSimBlockDevice, MBRBlockDevice, ObservingBlockDevice, ProfilingBlockDevice, ReadOnlyBlockDevice, and SlicingBlockDevice.

Definition at line 88 of file BlockDevice.h.

◆ read()

virtual int read ( void *  buffer,
bd_addr_t  addr,
bd_size_t  size 
)
pure virtual

Read blocks from a block device.

If a failure occurs, it is not possible to determine how many bytes succeeded

Parameters
bufferBuffer to write blocks to
addrAddress of block to begin reading from
sizeSize to read in bytes, must be a multiple of the read block size
Returns
0 on success or a negative error code on failure

Implemented in BufferedBlockDevice, ChainingBlockDevice, ExhaustibleBlockDevice, FlashSimBlockDevice, HeapBlockDevice, MBRBlockDevice, ObservingBlockDevice, ProfilingBlockDevice, ReadOnlyBlockDevice, SlicingBlockDevice, DataFlashBlockDevice, I2CEEBlockDevice, OSPIFBlockDevice, QSPIFBlockDevice, SDBlockDevice, SPIFBlockDevice, SPINANDBlockDevice, and FlashIAPBlockDevice.

◆ program()

virtual int program ( const void *  buffer,
bd_addr_t  addr,
bd_size_t  size 
)
pure virtual

Program blocks to a block device.

The blocks must have been erased prior to being programmed

If a failure occurs, it is not possible to determine how many bytes succeeded

Parameters
bufferBuffer of data to write to blocks
addrAddress of block to begin writing to
sizeSize to write in bytes, must be a multiple of the program block size
Returns
0 on success or a negative error code on failure

Implemented in BufferedBlockDevice, ChainingBlockDevice, ExhaustibleBlockDevice, FlashSimBlockDevice, HeapBlockDevice, MBRBlockDevice, ObservingBlockDevice, ProfilingBlockDevice, ReadOnlyBlockDevice, SlicingBlockDevice, DataFlashBlockDevice, I2CEEBlockDevice, OSPIFBlockDevice, QSPIFBlockDevice, SDBlockDevice, SPIFBlockDevice, SPINANDBlockDevice, and FlashIAPBlockDevice.

◆ erase()

virtual int erase ( bd_addr_t  addr,
bd_size_t  size 
)
virtual

Erase blocks on a block device.

The state of an erased block is undefined until it has been programmed, unless get_erase_value returns a non-negative byte value

Parameters
addrAddress of block to begin erasing
sizeSize to erase in bytes, must be a multiple of the erase block size
Returns
0 on success or a negative error code on failure

Reimplemented in BufferedBlockDevice, ChainingBlockDevice, ExhaustibleBlockDevice, FlashSimBlockDevice, HeapBlockDevice, MBRBlockDevice, ObservingBlockDevice, ProfilingBlockDevice, ReadOnlyBlockDevice, SlicingBlockDevice, DataFlashBlockDevice, I2CEEBlockDevice, OSPIFBlockDevice, QSPIFBlockDevice, SPIFBlockDevice, SPINANDBlockDevice, and FlashIAPBlockDevice.

Definition at line 126 of file BlockDevice.h.

◆ trim()

virtual int trim ( bd_addr_t  addr,
bd_size_t  size 
)
virtual

Mark blocks as no longer in use.

This function provides a hint to the underlying block device that a region of blocks is no longer in use and may be erased without side effects. Erase must still be called before programming, but trimming allows flash-translation-layers to schedule erases when the device is not busy.

Parameters
addrAddress of block to mark as unused
sizeSize to mark as unused in bytes, must be a multiple of the erase block size
Returns
0 on success or a negative error code on failure

Reimplemented in BufferedBlockDevice, and SDBlockDevice.

Definition at line 142 of file BlockDevice.h.

◆ get_read_size()

◆ get_program_size()

virtual bd_size_t get_program_size ( ) const
pure virtual

◆ get_erase_size() [1/2]

virtual bd_size_t get_erase_size ( ) const
virtual

◆ get_erase_size() [2/2]

virtual bd_size_t get_erase_size ( bd_addr_t  addr) const
virtual

Get the size of an erasable block given address.

Parameters
addrAddress within the erasable block
Returns
Size of an erasable block in bytes
Note
Must be a multiple of the program size

Reimplemented in BufferedBlockDevice, ChainingBlockDevice, ExhaustibleBlockDevice, FlashSimBlockDevice, HeapBlockDevice, MBRBlockDevice, ObservingBlockDevice, ProfilingBlockDevice, ReadOnlyBlockDevice, SlicingBlockDevice, DataFlashBlockDevice, QSPIFBlockDevice, SPIFBlockDevice, and FlashIAPBlockDevice.

Definition at line 176 of file BlockDevice.h.

◆ get_erase_value()

virtual int get_erase_value ( ) const
virtual

Get the value of storage when erased.

If get_erase_value returns a non-negative byte value, the underlying storage is set to that value when erased, and storage containing that value can be programmed without another erase.

Returns
The value of storage when erased, or -1 if you can't rely on the value of the erased storage

Reimplemented in OSPIFBlockDevice, QSPIFBlockDevice, SPIFBlockDevice, SPINANDBlockDevice, BufferedBlockDevice, ChainingBlockDevice, ExhaustibleBlockDevice, FlashSimBlockDevice, MBRBlockDevice, ObservingBlockDevice, ProfilingBlockDevice, ReadOnlyBlockDevice, SlicingBlockDevice, and FlashIAPBlockDevice.

bd_size_t  size 
) const
virtual

Convenience function for checking block read validity.

Parameters
addrAddress of block to begin reading from
