Detailed Description

Block device for mapping to a slice of another block device.

  #include "mbed.h"
  #include "HeapBlockDevice.h"
  #include "SlicingBlockDevice.h"

  // Create a block device with 64 blocks of size 512
  HeapBlockDevice mem(64*512, 512);

  // Create a block device that maps to the first 32 blocks
  SlicingBlockDevice slice1(&mem, 0*512, 32*512);

  // Create a block device that maps to the last 32 blocks
  SlicingBlockDevice slice2(&mem, 32*512);

  // Create a block device that maps to the middle 32 blocks
  SlicingBlockDevice slice3(&mem, 16*512, -16*512);

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SlicingBlockDevice ( BlockDevice bd,
bd_addr_t  start,
bd_addr_t  end = 0 
)

Lifetime of the memory block device.

Parameters:
bdBlock device to back the SlicingBlockDevice
startStart block address to map to block 0, negative addresses are calculated from the end of the underlying block device
endEnd block address to mark the end of the block device, this block is not mapped, negative addresses are calculated from the end of the underlying block device. The default stops at end of the underlying block device.

Definition at line 20 of file SlicingBlockDevice.cpp.

virtual ~SlicingBlockDevice (  ) [virtual]

Lifetime of a block device.

Definition at line 66 of file SlicingBlockDevice.h.


Member Function Documentation

int deinit (  ) [virtual]

Deinitialize a block device.

Returns:
0 on success or a negative error code on failure

Implements BlockDevice.

Definition at line 62 of file SlicingBlockDevice.cpp.

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, negative error code on failure

Reimplemented from BlockDevice.

Definition at line 84 of file SlicingBlockDevice.cpp.

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.

Definition at line 100 of file SlicingBlockDevice.cpp.

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.

Definition at line 105 of file SlicingBlockDevice.cpp.

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.

Definition at line 110 of file SlicingBlockDevice.cpp.

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.

Definition at line 95 of file SlicingBlockDevice.cpp.

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.

Definition at line 90 of file SlicingBlockDevice.cpp.

int init (  ) [virtual]

Initialize a block device.

Returns:
0 on success or a negative error code on failure

Implements BlockDevice.

Definition at line 36 of file SlicingBlockDevice.cpp.

bool is_valid_erase ( bd_addr_t  addr,
bd_size_t  size 
) const [inherited]

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

Definition at line 213 of file BlockDevice.h.

bool is_valid_program ( bd_addr_t  addr,
bd_size_t  size 
) const [inherited]

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

Definition at line 199 of file BlockDevice.h.

bool is_valid_read ( bd_addr_t  addr,
bd_size_t  size 
) const [inherited]

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

Definition at line 185 of file BlockDevice.h.

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, negative error code on failure

Implements BlockDevice.

Definition at line 78 of file SlicingBlockDevice.cpp.

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, negative error code on failure

Implements BlockDevice.

Definition at line 72 of file SlicingBlockDevice.cpp.

bd_size_t size (  ) const [virtual]

Get the total size of the underlying device.

Returns:
Size of the underlying device in bytes

Implements BlockDevice.

Definition at line 115 of file SlicingBlockDevice.cpp.

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.

Definition at line 67 of file SlicingBlockDevice.cpp.

virtual int trim ( bd_addr_t  addr,
bd_size_t  size 
) [virtual, inherited]

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 erase block size
Returns:
0 on success, negative error code on failure

Definition at line 120 of file BlockDevice.h.
