Platform

NAND MTD

The NAND MTD driver interfaces with the integrated
NAND controller. It can support various file systems,
such as UBIFS, CRAMFS and JFFS2UBI and
UBIFSCRAMFS and JFFS2. The driver implementation
supports the lowest level operations on the external
NAND Flash chip, such as block read, block write and
block erase as the NAND Flash technology only
supports block access. Because blocks in a NAND
Flash are not guaranteed to be good, the NAND MTD
driver is also able to detect bad blocks and feed that
information to the upper layer to handle bad block
management.

Input Device Drivers
Networking Drivers
ENET

The ENET Driver performs the full set of IEEE 802.3/
Ethernet CSMA/CD media access control and channel
interface functions. The FEC requires an external
interface adaptor and transceiver function to complete
the interface to the Ethernet media. It supports half or
full-duplex operation on 10M\100M related Ethernet
networks.

C

The I2C bus driver is a low-level interface that is used
to interface with the I2C bus. This driver is invoked by
the I2C chip driver; it is not exposed to the user space.
The standard Linux kernel contains a core I2C module
that is used by the chip driver to access the bus driver
to transfer data over the I2C bus. This bus driver
supports:

• Compatibility with the I2C bus standard
• Bit rates up to 400 Kbps
• Standard I2C master mode
• Power management features by suspending and

resuming I2C.

Inter-IC (I2C) Driver

CSPI

The low-level Enhanced Configurable Serial Peripheral
Interface (ECSPI) driver interfaces a custom, kernel-
space API to both ECSPI modules. It supports the
following features:

• Interrupt-driven transmit/receive of SPI frames
• Multi-client management
• Priority management between clients
• SPI device configuration per client

The MMC/SD/SDIO Host driver implements the
standard Linux driver interface to eSDHC.
