Description

Storage plugin.

This plugin provides the bootloader with multiple storage options. All storage implementations have to provide a slot-based API to access image files to be bootloaded.

Some storage implementations also support a raw storage API to access the underlying storage medium. This can be used by applications to store other data in parts of the storage medium that are not used for bootloading.

Storage Implementations

Internal Flash

The Internal Flash storage implementation utilizes the internal Flash of the device for upgrade image storage.

SPI Flash

The SPI Flash storage implementation supports a variety of SPI Flash parts including the following:

Spansion S25FL208K (8Mbit)
Winbond W25X20BV (2Mbit), W25Q80BV (8Mbit)
Macronix MX25L2006E (2Mbit), MX25L4006E (4Mbit), MX25L8006E (8Mbit), MX25R8035F (8Mbit low power), MX25L1606E (16Mbit), MX25U1635E (16Mbit 2Volt), MX25R6435F (64Mbit low power)
Atmel/Adesto AT25DF041A (4Mbit), AT25DF081A (8Mbit)
Numonyx/Micron M25P20 (2Mbit), M25P40 (4Mbit), M25P80 (8Mbit), M25P16 (16Mbit)
ISSI IS25LQ025B (256Kbit), IS25LQ512B (512Kbit), IS25LQ010B (1Mbit), IS25LQ020B (2Mbit), IS25LQ040B (4Mbit)

The subset of supported devices can be configured at compile time using the configuration defines given in SPI Flash Configurations . Including support for multiple devices requires more Flash space in the bootloader.The SPI Flash storage implementation does not support any write protection functionality.
