Add a NOR flash mechanism where erase_address ranges can be padded
out to sector boundaries, triggering a diagnostic:
> flash erase_address 0x0001f980 16
address range 0x0001f980 .. 0x0001f98f is not sector-aligned
Command handler execution failed
in procedure 'flash' called at file "command.c", line 647
called at file "command.c", line 361
>
> flash erase_address pad 0x0001f980 16
Adding extra erase range, 0x0001f800 to 0x0001f97f
Adding extra erase range, 0x0001f990 to 0x0001fbff
erased address 0x0001f980 (length 16) in 0.095975s (0.163 kb/s)

This addresses what would otherwise be something of a functional
regression. An earlier version of the interface had a dangerous
problem: it would silently erase data outside the range it was
told to erase. Fixing that bug turned up some folk who relied on
that unsafe behavior. (The classic problem with interface bugs!)
Now they can get that behavior again. If they really need it,
just specify "pad".

Add file comments to a few files. Make the GDB server use
more conventional (pointer-free) hex digit conversion.

It can invalidate ECC codes, and in general is not guaranteed
to work. (However on some chips it _appears_ to behave.) Just
don't do it; don't write in those cases.

Otherwise the new alignment checking algorithm thinks that the
address is not aligned, because it is way beyond the last sector.

Resolve a regression when using newish automagic "write_image"
modes, by always padding to the end of affected sectors.
Also document some issues associated with those automagic options,
in the User's Guide and also some related code comments.
We might need similar padding at the *beginning* of some sectors,
but this is a minimalist fix for the problems which have currently
been reported (plus doc updates).

Much to my surprise, I observed a "flash erase_address ..."
command erasing data which I said should not be erased.
The issue turns out to be generic NOR flash code which was
silently, and rather dangerously, morphing partial-sector
references into unrequested whole-sector ones.
This patch removes that low-level morphing. If desired, it
can and should be done in higher level code. (We might need
to fix some stuff in the GDB server code.)

Move remaining NOR flash implemenation into flash/nor/core.c
Removes flash.c from the build, leaving only its header to split.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
Encapsulates access to the flash_drivers array, providing a base
of operations for future dynamic driver module loading features.

Splits the exec mode commands out of flash.c into the flash/nor/ files.
The routines used by these high-level commands are moved into nor/core.c,
with their internal declarations placed in nor/imp.h.
Fixes distribution of <flash/nor/core.h> header.
|
|
|
The newly moved flash TCL routines access the internals of the module
too much. Fix the layering issues by adding new core NOR flash APIs:
<flash/nor/core.h>:
- flash_driver_find_by_name() - self-descriptive
<flash/nor/imp.h>:
- flash_bank_add() - encapsulates adding banks to bank list
- flash_bank_list() - encapsulates retreiving bank list
This allows the externs in flash/nor/imp.h to be removed, and
these mechanisms may now be re-used by other flash module code.
