SPI Flash API

[中文]

Overview

The spi_flash component contains API functions related to reading, writing, erasing, and memory mapping for data in the external flash.

For higher-level API functions which work with partitions defined in the partition table, see Partitions API

Note

esp_partition_* APIs are recommended to be used instead of the lower level esp_flash_* API functions when accessing the main SPI flash chip, since they conduct bounds checking and are guaranteed to calculate correct offsets in flash based on the information in the partition table. esp_flash_* functions can still be used directly when accessing an external (secondary) SPI flash chip.

Different from the API before ESP-IDF v4.0, the functionality of esp_flash_* APIs is not limited to the "main" SPI flash chip (the same SPI flash chip from which program runs). With different chip pointers, you can access external flash chips connected to not only SPI0/1 but also other SPI buses like SPI2.

Note

Instead of going through the cache connected to the SPI0 peripheral, most esp_flash_* APIs go through other SPI peripherals like SPI1, SPI2, etc. This makes them able to access not only the main flash, but also external (secondary) flash.

However, due to the limitations of the cache, operations through the cache are limited to the main flash. The address range limitation for these operations is also on the cache side. The cache is not able to access external flash chips or address range above its capabilities. These cache operations include: mmap, encrypted read/write, executing code or access to variables in the flash.

Note

Flash APIs after ESP-IDF v4.0 are no longer atomic. If a write operation occurs during another on-going read operation, and the flash addresses of both operations overlap, the data returned from the read operation may contain both old data and new data (that was updated written by the write operation).

Note

Encrypted flash operations are only supported with the main flash chip (and not with other flash chips, that is on SPI1 with different CS, or on other SPI buses). Reading through cache is only supported on the main flash, which is determined by the HW.

Support for Features of Flash Chips

Quad/Dual Mode Chips

Features of different flashes are implemented in different ways and thus need special support. The fast/slow read and Dual mode (DOUT/DIO) of almost all flashes with 24-bit address are supported, because they do not need any vendor-specific commands.

Quad mode (QIO/QOUT) is supported on the following chip types:

  1. ISSI

  2. GD

  3. MXIC

  4. FM

  5. Winbond

  6. XMC

  7. BOYA

Note

Only when one flash series listed above is supported by ESP32-S2, this flash series is supported by the chip driver by default. You can use Component config > SPI Flash driver > Auto-detect flash chips in menuconfig to enable/disable a flash series.

Optional Features

There are some features that are not supported by all flash chips, or not supported by all Espressif chips. These features include:

  • 32-bit address flash - usually means that the flash has higher capacity (equal to or larger than 16 MB) that needs longer addresses.

  • Flash unique ID - means that flash supports its unique 64-bit ID.

If you want to use these features, please ensure both ESP32-S2 and ALL flash chips in your product support these features. For more details, refer to Optional Features for Flash.

You may also customise your own flash chip driver. See Overriding Default Chip Drivers for more details.

Initializing a Flash Device

To use the esp_flash_* APIs, you need to initialise a flash chip on a certain SPI bus, as shown below:

  1. Call spi_bus_initialize() to properly initialize an SPI bus. This function initializes the resources (I/O, DMA, interrupts) shared among devices attached to this bus.

  2. Call spi_bus_add_flash_device() to attach the flash device to the bus. This function allocates memory and fills the members for the esp_flash_t structure. The CS I/O is also initialized here.

  3. Call esp_flash_init() to actually communicate with the chip. This also detects the chip type, and influence the following operations.

Note

Multiple flash chips can be attached to the same bus now.

SPI Flash Access API

This is the set of API functions for working with data in flash:

Generally, try to avoid using the raw SPI flash functions to the "main" SPI flash chip in favour of partition-specific functions.

SPI Flash Size

The SPI flash size is configured by writing a field in the software bootloader image header, flashed at offset 0x1000.

By default, the SPI flash size is detected by esptool.py when this bootloader is written to flash, and the header is updated with the correct size. Alternatively, it is possible to generate a fixed flash size by setting CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_FLASHSIZE in the project configuration.

If it is necessary to override the configured flash size at runtime, it is possible to set the chip_size member of the g_rom_flashchip structure. This size is used by esp_flash_* functions (in both software & ROM) to check the bounds.

Concurrency Constraints for Flash on SPI1

Attention

The SPI0/1 bus is shared between the instruction & data cache (for firmware execution) and the SPI1 peripheral (controlled by the drivers including this SPI flash driver). Hence, calling SPI Flash API on SPI1 bus (including the main flash) causes significant influence to the whole system. See Concurrency Constraints for Flash on SPI1 for more details.

SPI Flash Encryption

It is possible to encrypt the contents of SPI flash and have it transparently decrypted by hardware.

Refer to the Flash Encryption documentation for more details.

Memory Mapping API

ESP32-S2 features memory hardware which allows regions of flash memory to be mapped into instruction and data address spaces. This mapping works only for read operations. It is not possible to modify contents of flash memory by writing to a mapped memory region.

Mapping happens in 64 KB pages. Memory mapping hardware can map flash into the data address space and the instruction address space. See the technical reference manual for more details and limitations about memory mapping hardware.

Note that some pages are used to map the application itself into memory, so the actual number of available pages may be less than the capability of the hardware.

Reading data from flash using a memory mapped region is the only way to decrypt contents of flash when flash encryption is enabled. Decryption is performed at the hardware level.

Memory mapping API are declared in spi_flash_mmap.h and esp_partition.h:

Differences between spi_flash_mmap() and esp_partition_mmap() are as follows:

  • spi_flash_mmap() must be given a 64 KB aligned physical address.

  • esp_partition_mmap() may be given any arbitrary offset within the partition. It adjusts the returned pointer to mapped memory as necessary.

Note that since memory mapping happens in pages, it may be possible to read data outside of the partition provided to esp_partition_mmap, regardless of the partition boundary.

Note

mmap is supported by cache, so it can only be used on main flash.

SPI Flash Implementation

The esp_flash_t structure holds chip data as well as three important parts of this API:

  1. The host driver, which provides the hardware support to access the chip;

  2. The chip driver, which provides compatibility service to different chips;

  3. The OS functions, provide support of some OS functions (e.g., lock, delay) in different stages (1st/2nd boot, or the app).

Host Driver

The host driver relies on an interface (spi_flash_host_driver_t) defined in the spi_flash_types.h (in the hal/include/hal folder). This interface provides some common functions to communicate with the chip.

In other files of the SPI HAL, some of these functions are implemented with existing ESP32-S2 memory-spi functionalities. However, due to the speed limitations of ESP32-S2, the HAL layer cannot provide high-speed implementations to some reading commands (so the support for it was dropped). The files (memspi_host_driver.h and .c) implement the high-speed version of these commands with the common_command function provided in the HAL, and wrap these functions as spi_flash_host_driver_t for upper layer to use.

You can also implement your own host driver, even with the GPIO. As long as all the functions in the spi_flash_host_driver_t are implemented, the esp_flash API can access the flash regardless of the low-level hardware.

Chip Driver

The chip driver, defined in spi_flash_chip_driver.h, wraps basic functions provided by the host driver for the API layer to use.

Some operations need some commands to be sent first, or read some status afterwards. Some chips need different commands or values, or need special communication ways.

There is a type of chip called generic chip which stands for common chips. Other special chip drivers can be developed on the base of the generic chip.

The chip driver relies on the host driver.

OS Functions

Currently the OS function layer provides entries of a lock and delay.

The lock (see SPI Bus Lock) is used to resolve the conflicts among the access of devices on the same SPI bus, and the SPI Flash chip access. E.g.

  1. On SPI1 bus, the cache (used to fetch the data (code) in the Flash and PSRAM) should be disabled when the flash chip on the SPI0/1 is being accessed.

  2. On the other buses, the flash driver needs to disable the ISR registered by SPI Master driver, to avoid conflicts.

  3. Some devices of SPI Master driver may require to use the bus monopolized during a period (especially when the device does not have a CS wire, or the wire is controlled by software like SDSPI driver).

The delay is used by some long operations which requires the master to wait or polling periodically.

The top API wraps these the chip driver and OS functions into an entire component, and also provides some argument checking.

OS functions can also help to avoid a watchdog timeout when erasing large flash areas. During this time, the CPU is occupied with the flash erasing task. This stops other tasks from being executed. Among these tasks is the idle task to feed the watchdog timer (WDT). If the configuration option CONFIG_ESP_TASK_WDT_PANIC is selected and the flash operation time is longer than the watchdog timeout period, the system will reboot.

It is pretty hard to totally eliminate this risk, because the erasing time varies with different flash chips, making it hard to be compatible in flash drivers. Therefore, users need to pay attention to it. Please use the following guidelines:

  1. It is recommended to enable the CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_YIELD_DURING_ERASE option to allow the scheduler to re-schedule during erasing flash memory. Besides, following parameters can also be used.

  1. Please be aware of the consequences of enabling the CONFIG_ESP_TASK_WDT_PANIC option when doing long-running SPI flash operations which triggers the panic handler when it times out. However, this option can also help dealing with unexpected exceptions in your application. Please decide whether this is needed to be enabled according to actual condition.

  2. During your development, please carefully review the actual flash operation according to the specific requirements and time limits on erasing flash memory of your projects. Always allow reasonable redundancy based on your specific product requirements when configuring the flash erasing timeout threshold, thus improving the reliability of your product.

Implementation Details

In order to perform some flash operations, it is necessary to make sure that both CPUs are not running any code from flash for the duration of the flash operation:

  • In a single-core setup, the SDK needs to disable interrupts or scheduler before performing the flash operation.

  • In a dual-core setup, the SDK needs to make sure that both CPUs are not running any code from flash.

When SPI flash API is called on CPU A (can be PRO or APP), start the spi_flash_op_block_func function on CPU B using the esp_ipc_call API. This API wakes up a high priority task on CPU B and tells it to execute a given function, in this case, spi_flash_op_block_func. This function disables cache on CPU B and signals that the cache is disabled by setting the s_flash_op_can_start flag. Then the task on CPU A disables cache as well and proceeds to execute flash operation.

While a flash operation is running, interrupts can still run on CPUs A and B. It is assumed that all interrupt code is placed into RAM. Once the interrupt allocation API is added, a flag should be added to request the interrupt to be disabled for the duration of a flash operations.

Once the flash operation is complete, the function on CPU A sets another flag, s_flash_op_complete, to let the task on CPU B know that it can re-enable cache and release the CPU. Then the function on CPU A re-enables the cache on CPU A as well and returns control to the calling code.

Additionally, all API functions are protected with a mutex (s_flash_op_mutex).

In a single core environment (CONFIG_FREERTOS_UNICORE enabled), you need to disable both caches, so that no inter-CPU communication can take place.

Functions

esp_err_t spi_flash_mmap(size_t src_addr, size_t size, spi_flash_mmap_memory_t memory, const void **out_ptr, spi_flash_mmap_handle_t *out_handle)

Map region of flash memory into data or instruction address space.

This function allocates sufficient number of 64kB MMU pages and configures them to map the requested region of flash memory into the address space. It may reuse MMU pages which already provide the required mapping.

As with any allocator, if mmap/munmap are heavily used then the address space may become fragmented. To troubleshoot issues with page allocation, use spi_flash_mmap_dump() function.

Parameters

  • src_addr -- Physical address in flash where requested region starts. This address must be aligned to 64kB boundary (SPI_FLASH_MMU_PAGE_SIZE)

  • size -- Size of region to be mapped. This size will be rounded up to a 64kB boundary

  • memory -- Address space where the region should be mapped (data or instruction)

  • out_ptr -- [out] Output, pointer to the mapped memory region

  • out_handle -- [out] Output, handle which should be used for spi_flash_munmap call

Returns

ESP_OK on success, ESP_ERR_NO_MEM if pages can not be allocated

esp_err_t spi_flash_mmap_pages(const int *pages, size_t page_count, spi_flash_mmap_memory_t memory, const void **out_ptr, spi_flash_mmap_handle_t *out_handle)

Map sequences of pages of flash memory into data or instruction address space.

This function allocates sufficient number of 64kB MMU pages and configures them to map the indicated pages of flash memory contiguously into address space. In this respect, it works in a similar way as spi_flash_mmap() but it allows mapping a (maybe non-contiguous) set of pages into a contiguous region of memory.

Parameters

  • pages -- An array of numbers indicating the 64kB pages in flash to be mapped contiguously into memory. These indicate the indexes of the 64kB pages, not the byte-size addresses as used in other functions. Array must be located in internal memory.

  • page_count -- Number of entries in the pages array

  • memory -- Address space where the region should be mapped (instruction or data)

  • out_ptr -- [out] Output, pointer to the mapped memory region

  • out_handle -- [out] Output, handle which should be used for spi_flash_munmap call

Returns

  • ESP_OK on success

  • ESP_ERR_NO_MEM if pages can not be allocated

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG if pagecount is zero or pages array is not in internal memory

void spi_flash_munmap(spi_flash_mmap_handle_t handle)

Release region previously obtained using spi_flash_mmap.

Note

Calling this function will not necessarily unmap memory region. Region will only be unmapped when there are no other handles which reference this region. In case of partially overlapping regions it is possible that memory will be unmapped partially.

Parameters

handle -- Handle obtained from spi_flash_mmap

void spi_flash_mmap_dump(void)

Display information about mapped regions.

This function lists handles obtained using spi_flash_mmap, along with range of pages allocated to each handle. It also lists all non-zero entries of MMU table and corresponding reference counts.

uint32_t spi_flash_mmap_get_free_pages(spi_flash_mmap_memory_t memory)

get free pages number which can be mmap

This function will return number of free pages available in mmu table. This could be useful before calling actual spi_flash_mmap (maps flash range to DCache or ICache memory) to check if there is sufficient space available for mapping.

Parameters

memory -- memory type of MMU table free page

Returns

number of free pages which can be mmaped

size_t spi_flash_cache2phys(const void *cached)

Given a memory address where flash is mapped, return the corresponding physical flash offset.

Cache address does not have have been assigned via spi_flash_mmap(), any address in memory mapped flash space can be looked up.

Parameters

cached -- Pointer to flashed cached memory.

Returns

  • SPI_FLASH_CACHE2PHYS_FAIL If cache address is outside flash cache region, or the address is not mapped.

  • Otherwise, returns physical offset in flash

const void *spi_flash_phys2cache(size_t phys_offs, spi_flash_mmap_memory_t memory)

Given a physical offset in flash, return the address where it is mapped in the memory space.

Physical address does not have to have been assigned via spi_flash_mmap(), any address in flash can be looked up.

Note

Only the first matching cache address is returned. If MMU flash cache table is configured so multiple entries point to the same physical address, there may be more than one cache address corresponding to that physical address. It is also possible for a single physical address to be mapped to both the IROM and DROM regions.

Note

This function doesn't impose any alignment constraints, but if memory argument is SPI_FLASH_MMAP_INST and phys_offs is not 4-byte aligned, then reading from the returned pointer will result in a crash.

Parameters

  • phys_offs -- Physical offset in flash memory to look up.

  • memory -- Address space type to look up a flash cache address mapping for (instruction or data)

Returns

  • NULL if the physical address is invalid or not mapped to flash cache of the specified memory type.

  • Cached memory address (in IROM or DROM space) corresponding to phys_offs.

bool esp_flash_encryption_cfg_verify_release_mode(void)

Returns the verification status for all physical security features of flash encryption in release mode.

If the device has flash encryption feature configured in the release mode, then it is highly recommended to call this API in the application startup code. This API verifies the sanity of the eFuse configuration against the release (production) mode of the flash encryption feature.

Returns

  • True - all eFuses are configured correctly

  • False - not all eFuses are configured correctly.

void esp_flash_encryption_set_release_mode(void)

Switches Flash Encryption from "Development" to "Release".

If already in "Release" mode, the function will do nothing. If flash encryption efuse is not enabled yet then abort. It burns:
