Subject: [PATCH v1 0/6] introduce NVM XIP block storage emulation

Message-ID: <20230116172832.1946-1-abdellatif.elkhlifi@arm.com> (raw)

From: Abdellatif El Khlifi <abdellatif.elkhlifi@arm.com>

Adding block storage emulation for NVM XIP flash devices.

Some paltforms such as Corstone-1000 need to see NVM XIP raw flash
as a block storage device with read only capability.

Here NVM flash devices are devices with addressable
memory (e.g: QSPI NOR flash).

The NVM XIP block storage emulation provides the following features:

- Emulate NVM XIP raw flash as a block storage device with read only capability
- Being generic by design and can be used by any platform
- Device tree node
- Platforms can use multiple NVM XIP devices at the same time by defining a
  DT node for each one of them
- A generic NVMXIP block driver allowing to read from the XIP flash
- A generic NVMXIP QSPI driver
- Implemented on top of memory-mapped IO (using readq macro)
- Enabling NVMXIP in sandbox64
- A sandbox test case
- Enabling NVMXIP in Corstone1000 platform as a use case

For more details please refer to the readme [A].

Abdellatif El Khlifi (6):
  drivers/nvmxip: introduce NVM XIP block storage emulation
  sandbox64: fix: return unsigned long in readq()
  sandbox64: add support for NVMXIP QSPI
  corstone1000: add NVM XIP QSPI device tree node
  corstone1000: enable NVM XIP QSPI flash
  sandbox64: add a test case for UCLASS_NVMXIP
