Re: [PATCH 0/3]mmc: Support-FFU-for-eMMC-v5.0

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Regarding v5.0: a while ago, Romain wrote a small eMMC 5.0 patch that Ulf ack'd:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mmc/23795

But this patch got lost and was never merged. I wanted to re-submit on Romain's behalf but haven't been able to find the time. Perhaps you could take this task?

I have verified that this patch is necessary for my Jedec 5.0 hardware.


Thanks,
Derek

*New ioctl has been add:
  * [Alex Lemberg] "MMC_FFU_INVOKE - transfer the new Firmware data from user spac[Alex Lemberg]space
  	to the eMMC deivce and install the new image[Alex Lemberg] firmware.
* This solution allows to:
- Complete eMMC 5.0 FFU procedure as an atomic operation, without being interrupted by other IO requests
- Not limited Firmware data size. Using Multiple Write operations.
- Support of both EXT_CSD_MODE_OPERATION_CODES modes [Alex Lemberg]
* The solution is using "udev" device manager to transfer FW data from user space to eMMC driver [Alex Lemberg]
* Pre-existing functions from mmc_test were used in this solution.
