Thanks for the code! Here is my approach: const struct flash_platform_data tx53_flash = { .type = "mx25l8005", .name = "spi_flash", }; //MX25L8005MC-15G static const struct spi_board_info mx53_spi_board_info[] = { { .name = "mx25l8005", .max_speed_hz = 70000000, .bus_num = 0, .chip_select = 0, .bits_per_word = 8, .mode = SPI_MODE_0, .platform_data = &tx53_flash, }, }; static struct spi_imx_master tx53_spi = { .num_chipselect = 1, }; init_devices { ... spi_register_board_info(mx53_spi_board_info, ARRAY_SIZE(mx53_spi_board_info)); add_generic_device("m25p",-1,"m25p",MX53_ECSPI1_BASE_ADDR,64 * 1024,IORESOURCE_MEM,&mx53_spi_board_info); ... } When the m25p80.c driver probes i get no spi instance: static int m25p_probe(struct device_d *dev) { struct spi_device *spi = (struct spi_device *)dev->type_data; const struct spi_device_id *id = NULL; ... } struct spi_device *spi is always null Whats wrong here? christian Von: Franck Jullien An: christian.buettner@rafi.de, Kopie: barebox@lists.infradead.org Datum: 27.07.2012 13:33 Betreff: Re: nor flash board init code 2012/7/25 > > hi all, > is there any example board init code to load the mx25l8005 spi nor-flash through the imx53 (TX53 from KARO)? > I want to use the m25p80 driver to read and write. > > christian > _______________________________________________ > barebox mailing list > barebox@lists.infradead.org > http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/barebox > Hi Christian, This is what I use with the Altera SPI controller + an SPI flash device: http://www.elec4fun.fr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=10&Itemid=153 static struct spi_altera_master altera_spi_0_data = { .num_chipselect = 1, .spi_mode = 0, /* SPI mode of the EPCS flash controller */ .databits = 8, /* Data length of the EPCS flash controller */ .speed = 20000000, /* EPCS flash controller speed */ }; static struct flash_platform_data epcs_flash = { .name = "epcs", /* Cdev name, optional */ .type = "m25p40", /* Device type, required for non JEDEC chips */ }; static struct spi_board_info generic_spi_board_info[] = { { .name = "m25p", .max_speed_hz = 20000000, .bus_num = 0, .chip_select = 0, .bits_per_word = 8, .mode = SPI_MODE_0, .platform_data = &epcs_flash, } }; static int myboard_devices_init(void) { ... spi_register_board_info(myboard_spi_board_info, ARRAY_SIZE(myboard_spi_board_info)); add_generic_device("altera_spi", -1, NULL, NIOS_SOPC_EPCS_BASE, 0x18, IORESOURCE_MEM, &altera_spi_0_data); ...
