This directory holds simple, EEPROM drivers. EEPROMs are a form of Memory
|
|
Technology Device (MTD). EEPROMs are non-volatile memory like FLASH, but
|
|
differ in underlying memory technology and differ in usage in many respects:
|
|
They may not be organized into blocks (at least from the standpoint of the
|
|
user) and it is not necessary to erase the EEPROM memory before re-writing
|
|
it. In addition, EEPROMs tend to be much smaller than FLASH parts, usually
|
|
only a few kilobytes vs megabytes for FLASH. EEPROM tends to be used to
|
|
retain a small amount of device configuration information; FLASH tends
|
|
to be used for program or massive data storage. For these reasons, it may
|
|
not be convenient to use the more complex MTD interface but instead use
|
|
the simple character interface provided by the EEPROM drivers.

drivers/mtd/at24xx.c
|
|
---------------------
|
|
This is a driver for I2C-based at24cxx EEPROM (at24c32, at24c64, at24c128,
|
|
at24c256, at24c512). This driver is currently provided as an MTD driver
|
|
but could easily be modified to support the character driver interface.
|
|
|
|
File Systems
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Most EEPROM parts are too small to be candidates for use with a file
|
|
system. The character driver interface is optimal for these small parts
|
|
because you can open and access the EEPROM part as if it were a single,
|
|
fixed size file.
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to use these character drivers with a file system.
|
|
The character driver can converted to a block device using the NuttX loop
|
|
device. The loop device can be found the file drivers/loop.c. Interface
|
|
function prototypes can be found in include/nuttx/fs/fs.h:
|
|
|
|
int losetup(FAR const char *devname, FAR const char *filename,
|
|
uint16_t sectsize, off_t offset, bool readonly);
|
|
|
|
Given a file or character devices at 'filename', losetup will create the
|
|
block device 'devname' using a bogus sector size of sectsize. 'offset' is
|
|
normally zero but can be used to provide an offset into the EEPROM where
|
|
the block driver data starts; The EEPROM block driver can also be read-
|
|
only.
|
|
|
|
There is a corresponding function that will destroy the loop device:
|
|
|
|
int loteardown(FAR const char *devname);
