Detailed Description

Block device for managing a Master Boot Record https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record.

Note
The MBR partition table is relatively limited:
  • At most 4 partitions are supported
  • Extended partitions are currently not supported and will error during init

Definition at line 49 of file MBRBlockDevice.h.

MBRBlockDevice ( BlockDevice bd,
int  part 
)

Member Function Documentation

virtual int deinit ( )
virtual

Deinitialize a block device.

Returns
0 on success or a negative error code on failure

Implements BlockDevice.

virtual int erase ( bd_addr_t  addr,
bd_size_t  size 
)
virtual

Erase blocks on a block device.

The state of an erased block is undefined until it has been programmed, unless get_erase_value returns a non-negative byte value

Parameters
addrAddress of block to begin erasing
sizeSize to erase in bytes, must be a multiple of erase block size
Returns
0 on success or a negative error code on failure

Reimplemented from BlockDevice.

static BlockDevice* get_default_instance ( )
staticinherited

Return the default block device.

Returns the default block device based on the configuration JSON. Use the components in target.json or application config to change the default block device.

An application can override all target settings by implementing BlockDevice::get_default_instance() - the default definition is weak, and calls get_target_default_instance().

virtual bd_size_t get_erase_size ( ) const
virtual

Get the size of an erasable block.

Returns
Size of an erasable block in bytes
Note
Must be a multiple of the program size

Reimplemented from BlockDevice.

virtual bd_size_t get_erase_size ( bd_addr_t  addr) const
virtual

Get the size of an erasable block given address.

Parameters
addrAddress within the erasable block
Returns
Size of an erasable block in bytes
Note
Must be a multiple of the program size

Reimplemented from BlockDevice.

virtual int get_erase_value ( ) const
virtual

Get the value of storage when erased.

If get_erase_value returns a non-negative byte value, the underlying storage is set to that value when erased, and storage containing that value can be programmed without another erase.

Returns
The value of storage when erased, or -1 if you can't rely on the value of erased storage

Reimplemented from BlockDevice.

virtual int get_partition_number ( ) const
virtual

Get the partition number.

Returns
The partition number, 1-4
virtual bd_addr_t get_partition_start ( ) const
virtual

Get the offset of the partition on the underlying block device.

Returns
Offset of the partition on the underlying device
virtual bd_addr_t get_partition_stop ( ) const
virtual

Get size of partition on underlying block device.

Returns
Size of the partition on the underlying device
virtual uint8_t get_partition_type ( ) const
virtual

Get 8-bit type of the partition.

Returns
8-bit type of partition assigned during format
virtual bd_size_t get_program_size ( ) const
virtual

Get the size of a programmable block.

Returns
Size of a programmable block in bytes
Note
Must be a multiple of the read size

Implements BlockDevice.

virtual bd_size_t get_read_size ( ) const
virtual

Get the size of a readable block.

Returns
Size of a readable block in bytes

Implements BlockDevice.

virtual const char* get_type ( ) const
virtual

Get the BlockDevice class type.

Returns
A string represent the BlockDevice class type.

Implements BlockDevice.

virtual int init ( )
virtual

Initialize a block device.

Returns
0 on success or a negative error code on failure

Implements BlockDevice.

virtual bool is_valid_erase ( bd_addr_t  addr,
bd_size_t  size 
) const
virtualinherited

Convenience function for checking block erase validity.

Parameters
addrAddress of block to begin erasing
sizeSize to erase in bytes
Returns
True if erase is valid for underlying block device

Reimplemented in SlicingBlockDevice.

Definition at line 230 of file BlockDevice.h.

virtual bool is_valid_program ( bd_addr_t  addr,
bd_size_t  size 
) const
virtualinherited

Convenience function for checking block program validity.

Parameters
addrAddress of block to begin writing to
sizeSize to write in bytes
Returns
True if program is valid for underlying block device

Reimplemented in SlicingBlockDevice.

Definition at line 216 of file BlockDevice.h.

virtual bool is_valid_read ( bd_addr_t  addr,
bd_size_t  size 
) const
virtualinherited

Convenience function for checking block read validity.

Parameters
addrAddress of block to begin reading from
sizeSize to read in bytes
Returns
True if read is valid for underlying block device

Reimplemented in SlicingBlockDevice.

Definition at line 202 of file BlockDevice.h.

static int partition ( BlockDevice bd,
int  part,
uint8_t  type,
bd_addr_t  start 
)
static

Format the MBR to contain the following partition.

Parameters
bdBlock device to partition
partPartition to use, 1-4
type8-bit partition type to specify the filesystem to use in this partition. It can be found in the filesystem documentation or refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_type#List_of_partition_IDs
startStart block address to map to block 0 of partition. Negative addresses are calculated from the end of the underlying block devices. Block 0 is implicitly ignored from the range to store the MBR.
Returns
0 on success or a negative error code on failure.
Note
This is the same as partition(bd, part, type, start, bd->size())
static int partition ( BlockDevice bd,
int  part,
uint8_t  type,
bd_addr_t  start,
bd_addr_t  stop 
)
static

Format the MBR to contain the following partition.

Parameters
bdBlock device to partition
partPartition to use, 1-4
type8-bit partition type to specify the filesystem to use in this partition. It can be found in the filesystem documentation or refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_type#List_of_partition_IDs
startStart block address to map to block 0 of partition, negative addresses are calculated from the end of the underlying block devices. Block 0 is implicitly ignored from the range to store the MBR.
stopEnd block address to mark the end of the partition. This block is not mapped: negative addresses are calculated from the end of the underlying block device.
Returns
0 on success or a negative error code on failure.
virtual int program ( const void *  buffer,
bd_addr_t  addr,
bd_size_t  size 
)
virtual

Program blocks to a block device.

The blocks must have been erased prior to being programmed

Parameters
bufferBuffer of data to write to blocks
addrAddress of block to begin writing to
sizeSize to write in bytes, must be a multiple of program block size
Returns
0 on success or a negative error code on failure

Implements BlockDevice.

virtual int read ( void *  buffer,
bd_addr_t  addr,
bd_size_t  size 
)
virtual

Read blocks from a block device.

Parameters
bufferBuffer to read blocks into
addrAddress of block to begin reading from
sizeSize to read in bytes, must be a multiple of read block size
Returns
0 on success or a negative error code on failure

Implements BlockDevice.

virtual bd_size_t size ( ) const
virtual

Get the total size of the underlying device.

Returns
Size of the underlying device in bytes

Implements BlockDevice.

virtual int sync ( )
virtual

Ensure data on storage is in sync with the driver.

Returns
0 on success or a negative error code on failure

Reimplemented from BlockDevice.

virtual int trim ( bd_addr_t  addr,
bd_size_t  size 
)
virtualinherited

Mark blocks as no longer in use.

This function provides a hint to the underlying block device that a region of blocks is no longer in use and may be erased without side effects. Erase must still be called before programming, but trimming allows flash-translation-layers to schedule erases when the device is not busy.

Parameters
addrAddress of block to mark as unused
sizeSize to mark as unused in bytes, must be a multiple of the erase block size
Returns
0 on success or a negative error code on failure

Reimplemented in SDBlockDevice, and BufferedBlockDevice.
