Each partition must have its relative offset and size specified. Depending on partition function extra properties can be used. A partition may be dynamically allocated by a specific parser at runtime. In this specific case, a specific suffix is required to the node name. Everything after 'partition-' will be used as the partition name to compare with the one dynamically allocated by the specific parser. If the partition contains invalid char a label can be provided that will be used instead of the node name to make the comparison. This is used to assign an OF node to the dynamiccally allocated partition so that subsystem like NVMEM can provide an OF node and declare NVMEM cells. The OF node will be assigned only if the partition label declared match the one assigned by the parser at runtime. maintainers: - Rafał Miłecki properties: reg: description: partition's offset and size within the flash maxItems: 1 label: description: The label / name for this partition. If omitted, the label is taken from the node name (excluding the unit address). read-only: description: This parameter, if present, is a hint that this partition should only be mounted read-only. This is usually used for flash partitions containing early-boot firmware images or data which should not be clobbered. type: boolean lock: description: Do not unlock the partition at initialization time (not supported on all devices) type: boolean slc-mode: description: This parameter, if present, allows one to emulate SLC mode on a partition attached to an MLC NAND thus making this partition immune to paired-pages corruptions type: boolean linux,rootfs: description: Marks partition that contains root filesystem to mount and boot user space from type: boolean align: $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32 minimum: 2 maximum: 0x80000000 multipleOf: 2 description: This sets the alignment of the entry in bytes. The entry offset is adjusted so that the entry starts on an aligned boundary within the containing section or image. For example ‘align = <16>’ means that the entry will start on a 16-byte boundary. This may mean that padding is added before the entry. The padding is part of the containing section but is not included in the entry, meaning that an empty space may be created before the entry starts. Alignment must be a power of 2. If ‘align’ is not provided, no alignment is performed. align-size: $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32 minimum: 2 maximum: 0x80000000 multipleOf: 2 description: This sets the alignment of the entry size in bytes. It must be a power of 2. For example, to ensure that the size of an entry is a multiple of 64 bytes, set this to 64. While this does not affect the content of the entry itself (the padding is performed only when its parent section is assembled), the end result is that the entry ends with the padding bytes, so may grow. If ‘align-size’ is not provided, no alignment is performed. align-end: $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32 minimum: 2 maximum: 0x80000000 multipleOf: 2 description: This sets the alignment (in bytes) of the end of an entry with respect to the containing section. It must be a power of 2. Some entries require that they end on an alignment boundary, regardless of where they start. This does not move the start of the entry, so the content of the entry will still start at the beginning. But there may be padding at the end. While this does not affect the content of the entry itself (the padding is performed only when its parent section is assembled), the end result is that the entry ends with the padding bytes, so may grow. If ‘align-end’ is not provided, no alignment is performed. if: not: required: [ reg ] then: properties: $nodename: pattern: '^partition-.*$' # This is a generic file other binding inherit from and extend additionalProperties: true examples: - | partitions { compatible = "fixed-partitions"; #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <1>; partition@100000 { compatible = "u-boot"; reg = <0x100000 0xf00000>; align-size = <0x1000>; align-end = <0x10000>; }; partition@200000 { compatible = "tfa-bl31"; reg = <0x200000 0x100000>; align = <0x4000>; }; };
