磨损均衡 API

[English]

概述

ESP32-P4 所使用的 flash,特别是 SPI flash,多数具备扇区结构,且每个扇区仅允许有限次数的擦除/修改操作。为了避免过度使用某一扇区,乐鑫提供了磨损均衡组件,无需用户介入即可帮助用户均衡各个扇区之间的磨损。

磨损均衡组件包含了通过分区组件对外部 SPI flash 进行数据读取、写入、擦除和存储器映射相关的 API 函数。磨损均衡组件还具有软件上更高级别的 API 函数,与 FAT 文件系统 协同工作。

磨损均衡组件与 FAT 文件系统组件共用 FAT 文件系统的扇区,扇区大小为 4096 字节,是标准 flash 扇区的大小。在这种模式下,磨损均衡组件性能达到最佳,但需要在 RAM 中占用更多内存。

为了节省内存,磨损均衡组件还提供了另外两种模式,均使用 512 字节大小的扇区:

  • 性能模式:先将数据保存在 RAM 中,擦除扇区,然后将数据存储回 flash。如果设备在扇区擦写过程中突然断电,则整个扇区(4096 字节)数据将全部丢失。

  • 安全模式:数据先保存在 flash 中空余扇区,擦除扇区后,数据即存储回去。如果设备断电,上电后可立即恢复数据。

设备默认设置如下:

  • 定义扇区大小为 512 字节

  • 默认使用性能模式

您可以使用配置菜单更改设置。

磨损均衡组件不会将数据缓存在 RAM 中。写入和擦除函数直接修改 flash,函数返回后,flash 即完成修改。

磨损均衡访问 API

处理 flash 数据常用的 API 如下所示:

  • wl_mount - 为指定分区挂载并初始化磨损均衡模块

  • wl_unmount - 卸载分区并释放磨损均衡模块

  • wl_erase_range - 擦除 flash 中指定的地址范围

  • wl_write - 将数据写入分区

  • wl_read - 从分区读取数据

  • wl_size - 返回可用内存的大小(以字节为单位)

  • wl_sector_size - 返回一个扇区的大小

请尽量避免直接使用原始磨损均衡函数,建议您使用文件系统特定的函数。

内存大小

内存大小是根据分区参数在磨损均衡模块中计算所得,由于模块使用 flash 部分扇区存储内部数据,因此计算所得内存大小有少许偏差。

应用示例

storage/wear_levelling 中提供了一款磨损均衡驱动与 FatFs 库结合使用的示例。该示例初始化磨损均衡驱动,挂载 FAT 文件系统分区,并使用 POSIX(可移植操作系统接口)和 C 库 API 从中写入和读取数据。如需了解更多信息,请参考 storage/wear_levelling/README.md

Functions

esp_err_t wl_mount(const esp_partition_t *partition, wl_handle_t *out_handle)

Mount WL for defined partition.

参数
  • partition -- that will be used for access

  • out_handle -- handle of the WL instance

返回

  • ESP_OK, if the WL allocation is successful;

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG, if the arguments for WL configuration are not valid;

  • ESP_ERR_NO_MEM, if the WL allocation fails because of insufficient memory;

esp_err_t wl_unmount(wl_handle_t handle)

Unmount WL for defined partition.

参数

handle -- WL partition handle

返回

  • ESP_OK, if the operation is successful;

  • or one of error codes from lower-level flash driver.

esp_err_t wl_erase_range(wl_handle_t handle, size_t start_addr, size_t size)

Erase part of the WL storage.

参数
  • handle -- WL handle that are related to the partition

  • start_addr -- Address from where erase operation should start. Must be aligned to the result of function wl_sector_size(...).

  • size -- Size of the range which should be erased, in bytes. Must be divisible by the result of function wl_sector_size(...)..

返回

  • ESP_OK, if the given range was erased successfully;

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG, if iterator or dst are NULL;

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_SIZE, if erase would go out of bounds of the partition;

  • or one of error codes from lower-level flash driver.

esp_err_t wl_write(wl_handle_t handle, size_t dest_addr, const void *src, size_t size)

Write data to the WL storage.

Before writing data to flash, corresponding region of flash needs to be erased. This can be done using wl_erase_range function.

备注

Prior to writing to WL storage, make sure it has been erased with wl_erase_range call.

参数
  • handle -- WL handle corresponding to the WL partition

  • dest_addr -- Address where the data should be written, relative to the beginning of the partition.

  • src -- Pointer to the source buffer. Pointer must be non-NULL and buffer must be at least 'size' bytes long.

  • size -- Size of data to be written, in bytes.

返回

  • ESP_OK, if data was written successfully;

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG, if dst_offset exceeds partition size;

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_SIZE, if write would go out of bounds of the partition;

  • or one of error codes from lower-level flash driver.

esp_err_t wl_read(wl_handle_t handle, size_t src_addr, void *dest, size_t size)

Read data from the WL storage.

参数
  • handle -- WL module instance that was initialized before

  • dest -- Pointer to the buffer where data should be stored. The Pointer must be non-NULL and the buffer must be at least 'size' bytes long.

  • src_addr -- Address of the data to be read, relative to the beginning of the partition.

  • size -- Size of data to be read, in bytes.

返回

  • ESP_OK, if data was read successfully;

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG, if src_offset exceeds partition size;

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_SIZE, if read would go out of bounds of the partition;

  • or one of error codes from lower-level flash driver.

size_t wl_size(wl_handle_t handle)

Get the actual flash size in use for the WL storage partition.

参数

handle -- WL module handle that was initialized before

返回

usable size, in bytes

size_t wl_sector_size(wl_handle_t handle)

Get sector size of the WL instance.

参数

handle -- WL module handle that was initialized before

返回

sector size, in bytes
