![]() When two CPUs read the area of the DPORT and the area of the APB, the result is corrupted for the CPU that read the APB area. And another CPU has valid data. The method of eliminating this error. Before reading the registers of the DPORT, make a preliminary reading of the APB register. In this case, the joint access of the two CPUs to the registers of the APB and the DPORT is successful. |

SPI Flash APIs ============== Overview -------- The spi_flash component contains APIs related to reading, writing, erasing, memory mapping data in the external SPI flash. It also has higher-level APIs which work with partitions defined in the :doc:`partition table </api-guides/partition-tables>`. Note that all the functionality is limited to the "main" SPI flash chip, the same SPI flash chip from which program runs. For ``spi_flash_*`` functions, this is a software limitation. The underlying ROM functions which work with SPI flash do not have provisions for working with flash chips attached to SPI peripherals other than SPI0. SPI flash access APIs --------------------- This is the set of APIs for working with data in flash: - :cpp:func:`spi_flash_read` used to read data from flash to RAM - :cpp:func:`spi_flash_write` used to write data from RAM to flash - :cpp:func:`spi_flash_erase_sector` used to erase individual sectors of flash - :cpp:func:`spi_flash_erase_range` used to erase range of addresses in flash - :cpp:func:`spi_flash_get_chip_size` returns flash chip size, in bytes, as configured in menuconfig Generally, try to avoid using the raw SPI flash functions in favour of :ref:`partition-specific functions <flash-partition-apis>`. 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 :ref:`CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_FLASHSIZE` in ``make menuconfig``. If it is necessary to override the configured flash size at runtime, is is possible to set the ``chip_size`` member of ``g_rom_flashchip`` structure. This size is used by ``spi_flash_*`` functions (in both software & ROM) for bounds checking. Concurrency Constraints ----------------------- Because the SPI flash is also used for firmware execution (via the instruction & data caches), these caches must be disabled while reading/writing/erasing. This means that both CPUs must be running code from IRAM and only reading data from DRAM while flash write operations occur. If you use the APIs documented here, then this happens automatically and transparently. However note that it will have some performance impact on other tasks in the system. Refer to the :ref:`application memory layout <memory-layout>` documentation for an explanation of the differences between IRAM, DRAM and flash cache. To avoid reading flash cache accidentally, when one CPU commences a flash write or erase operation the other CPU is put into a blocked state and all non-IRAM-safe interrupts are disabled on both CPUs, until the flash operation completes. .. _iram-safe-interrupt-handlers: IRAM-Safe Interrupt Handlers ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If you have an interrupt handler that you want to execute even when a flash operation is in progress (for example, for low latency operations), set the ``ESP_INTR_FLAG_IRAM`` flag when the :doc:`interrupt handler is registered </api-reference/system/intr_alloc>`. You must ensure all data and functions accessed by these interrupt handlers are located in IRAM or DRAM. This includes any functions that the handler calls. Use the ``IRAM_ATTR`` attribute for functions:: #include "esp_attr.h" void IRAM_ATTR gpio_isr_handler(void* arg) { // ... } Use the ``DRAM_ATTR`` and ``DRAM_STR`` attributes for constant data:: void IRAM_ATTR gpio_isr_handler(void* arg) { const static DRAM_ATTR uint8_t INDEX_DATA[] = { 45, 33, 12, 0 }; const static char *MSG = DRAM_STR("I am a string stored in RAM"); } Note that knowing which data should be marked with ``DRAM_ATTR`` can be hard, the compiler will sometimes recognise that a variable or expression is constant (even if it is not marked ``const``) and optimise it into flash, unless it is marked with ``DRAM_ATTR``. If a function or symbol is not correctly put into IRAM/DRAM and the interrupt handler reads from the flash cache during a flash operation, it will cause a crash due to Illegal Instruction exception (for code which should be in IRAM) or garbage data to be read (for constant data which should be in DRAM). .. _flash-partition-apis: Partition table APIs -------------------- ESP-IDF projects use a partition table to maintain information about various regions of SPI flash memory (bootloader, various application binaries, data, filesystems). More information about partition tables can be found :doc:`here </api-guides/partition-tables>`. This component provides APIs to enumerate partitions found in the partition table and perform operations on them. These functions are declared in ``esp_partition.h``: - :cpp:func:`esp_partition_find` used to search partition table for entries with specific type, returns an opaque iterator - :cpp:func:`esp_partition_get` returns a structure describing the partition, for the given iterator - :cpp:func:`esp_partition_next` advances iterator to the next partition found - :cpp:func:`esp_partition_iterator_release` releases iterator returned by ``esp_partition_find`` - :cpp:func:`esp_partition_find_first` is a convenience function which returns structure describing the first partition found by ``esp_partition_find`` - :cpp:func:`esp_partition_read`, :cpp:func:`esp_partition_write`, :cpp:func:`esp_partition_erase_range` are equivalent to :cpp:func:`spi_flash_read`, :cpp:func:`spi_flash_write`, :cpp:func:`spi_flash_erase_range`, but operate within partition boundaries .. note:: Most application code should use these ``esp_partition_*`` APIs instead of lower level ``spi_flash_*`` APIs. Partition APIs do bounds checking and calculate correct offsets in flash based on data stored in partition table. SPI Flash Encryption -------------------- It is possible to encrypt SPI flash contents, and have it transparenlty decrypted by hardware. Refer to the :doc:`Flash Encryption documentation </security/flash-encryption>` for more details. Memory mapping APIs ------------------- ESP32 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 mapped memory region. Mapping happens in 64KB pages. Memory mapping hardware can map up to 4 megabytes of flash into data address space, and up to 16 megabytes of flash into instruction address space. See the technical reference manual for more details about memory mapping hardware. Note that some number of 64KB pages is used to map the application itself into memory, so the actual number of available 64KB pages may be less. Reading data from flash using a memory mapped region is the only way to decrypt contents of flash when :doc:`flash encryption </security/flash-encryption>` is enabled. Decryption is performed at hardware level. Memory mapping APIs are declared in ``esp_spi_flash.h`` and ``esp_partition.h``: - :cpp:func:`spi_flash_mmap` maps a region of physical flash addresses into instruction space or data space of the CPU - :cpp:func:`spi_flash_munmap` unmaps previously mapped region - :cpp:func:`esp_partition_mmap` maps part of a partition into the instruction space or data space of the CPU Differences between :cpp:func:`spi_flash_mmap` and :cpp:func:`esp_partition_mmap` are as follows: - :cpp:func:`spi_flash_mmap` must be given a 64KB aligned physical address - :cpp:func:`esp_partition_mmap` may be given any arbitrary offset within the partition, it will adjust returned pointer to mapped memory as necessary Note that because memory mapping happens in 64KB blocks, it may be possible to read data outside of the partition provided to ``esp_partition_mmap``.
