title: NAND Chip and NAND Controller Generic Binding

description: |
The NAND controller should be represented with its own DT node, and
all NAND chips attached to this controller should be defined as
children nodes of the NAND controller. This representation should be
enforced even for simple controllers supporting only one chip.
The ECC strength and ECC step size properties define the user
desires in terms of correction capability of a controller. Together,
they request the ECC engine to correct {strength} bit errors per
{size} bytes.
The interpretation of these parameters is implementation-defined, so
not all implementations must support all possible
combinations. However, implementations are encouraged to further
specify the value(s) they support.

Desired ECC engine, either hardware (most of the time
embedded in the NAND controller) or software correction
(Linux will handle the calculations). soft_bch is deprecated
and should be replaced by soft and nand-ecc-algo.

Desired ECC algorithm.

nand-on-flash-bbt:
$ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/flag
description:
With this property, the OS will search the device for a Bad
Block Table (BBT). If not found, it will create one, reserve
a few blocks at the end of the device to store it and update
it as the device ages. Otherwise, the out-of-band area of a
few pages of all the blocks will be scanned at boot time to
find Bad Block Markers (BBM). These markers will help to
build a volatile BBT in RAM.
nand-ecc-strength:
allOf:
- $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
- minimum: 1
description:
Maximum number of bits that can be corrected per ECC step.
nand-ecc-step-size:
allOf:
- $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
- minimum: 1
description:
Number of data bytes covered by a single ECC step.
nand-ecc-maximize:
$ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/flag
description:
Whether or not the ECC strength should be maximized. The
maximum ECC strength is both controller and chip
dependent. The ECC engine has to select the ECC config
providing the best strength and taking the OOB area size
constraint into account. This is particularly useful when
only the in-band area is used by the upper layers, and you
want to make your NAND as reliable as possible.
nand-is-boot-medium:
$ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/flag
description:
Whether or not the NAND chip is a boot medium. Drivers might
use this information to select ECC algorithms supported by
the boot ROM or similar restrictions.
