[PATCH v5 1/1] sf: Provide a command to access memory-mapped SPI

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Sat Dec 4 04:26:39 CET 2021


Add a new 'sf mmap' function to show the address of a SPI offset, if the
hardware supports it. This is useful on x86 systems.

+Memory-mapped flash
+-------------------
+
+On some systems part of the SPI flash is mapped into mmemory. With *sf mmap*
+you can map a SPI-flash offset to a memory address, so that the contents can be
+browsed using 'md', for example.
+
+The command will fail if this is not supported by the hardware or driver.
