It is a single field limiting the possible number of vendors to 126. To expand the maximum number of identification codes a continuation scheme has been defined. According to JEP106BA, the manufacturer ID for Boya should be preceded by eight continuation codes. So I would expect the manufacturer ID for this flash to be: 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x68. Without the continuation codes, we will have collisions between manufacturer IDs, Convex Computer being an example. I see that the datasheet [1] for this flash doesn't specify anything about the continuation codes, so I suspect that Boya just got it wrong. We'll have to check other datasheets from Boya and see if they got their manufacturer ID wrong for all their flashes. We'll have to add some fixup mechanism for the manufacturers ID handling, in order to avoid collisions with other manufacturers IDs.

I don't, but on a quick search I see that Elite Flash Storage may be an alias for ESMT, so probably you're right.

The manufacturer specific table identification looks broken too. MSB should have been 0x08 and LSB 0x68, whereas they have for MSB 0xff and LSB 0x0b? We can hack the sfdp read to dump the tables. Or use Michael's sfdp dump sysfs patches: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-mtd/list/?series=235475 > > I'm not sure what would actually make a good fixup in this > scenario.

Collision between flashes with continuation codes is more difficult to solve and would require differentiation at run-time. Will have to check jesd216 to see if there's other unique method to identify a flash. Can you check it?

Do you know what 0x17 means? > 0x90 (and 0x92 for dual spi, 0x94 for quad spi) seems to be in Winbond chips [5], Boya chips [1], the ESMT chip [4] and an XMC chip [6], from the datasheets I've looked at so far. They all seem to implement it in the same way: a "24 bit address" which is just a flag for device ID first or manufacturer ID first, then output one and the other repeatedly. It isn't in the Micron MT25QU128ABA [7] or the Atmel AT25FS010 [8] at the very least, so it's not universal. Interestingly the description of 0x90 in the XMC datasheet is suspiciously similar to the one in the Winbond datasheet. 0x17 is just listed in the BY25Q128AS datasheet in the "ID Definition Table"; I'm fairly sure it's just arbitrarily decided by the vendor for each chip type. >> $ spincl -ib -m0 -c0 -s0 -p0 4 0x9F >> 0x00 0x68 0x40 0x18 >> and indeed there doesn't seem to be any continuation codes. >> >>> We'll have to check other datasheets from Boya and see if they >>> got >>> their manufacturer ID wrong for all their flashes.

In terms of manufacturer ID banks: - Catalyst and Everspin are non-JEDEC - Atmel, Fujitsu, Macronix, SST, Micron/ST, Spansion/Cypress, Winbond use manufacturer codes in the first bank, so no special handling is expected - EON, ESMT, GigaDevice, ISSI and XMC are all in banks other than the first bank, so basically the same situation as I mentioned with ESMT in the previous email. There's two especially interesting cases: - Xilinx S3AN flashes use 0x1f, despite 0x1f bank 1 is Atmel/Adesto. In fact, 3S700AN has device ID 0x1f2500 which is collides with Atmel at45db081d, for example. I did some digging and its user guide [10] says system flash is "architecturally similar to the Adesto DataFlash SPI Flash memories" of which it shares ID numbers, so this is not a collision but just the IP is licensed and they didn't change the ID. In fact the AT45DB081D also has [11] the strange 264-byte pages option in the Xilinx driver, so they might actually be functionally identical. - XMC flashes start 0x20. XMC has 0x20 in bank 10, but 0x20 bank 1 is actually owned by Micron/ST who also make spi-nor flash chips. There don't seem to be any direct ID collisions yet though thankfully. As a result I was hoping XMC chips may have some sort of continuation code handling but they don't seem to. For instance XM25QH64A [6]: the datasheet does specify fairly clearly that the manufacturer ID is only one byte in both 0x90 and 0x9f. I think this is just an unfortunate coincidence and not a relabeling since Micron chips don't have 0x90. It seems like every 0x9f implementation I have looked at only outputs the last byte of the manufacturer ID code, no continuations. The AT45DB081D datasheet does actually mention the existence of JEP106 continuation codes but 0x1f is in the first bank so they do not actually exist on that device. >> Do you know of any flashes made by companies not in the first >> bank >> that >> identify themselves correctly? > > No, I've worked only with flashes that have their ID in the > first bank. > >> >> As far as I can tell the only proper method available is in >> SFDP, >> where the >> Parameter ID of a vendor specific table would be the bank >> number >> in the MSB >> and the actual manufacturer code in the LSB.

That'd take me a while though so I'll get back to you on that. Not that I'm particularly sure it would help our situation very much. I also see Chris has dumped his while I was writing this email and it does seem to match with the XTX datasheet. >> >> I'm not sure what would actually make a good fixup in this >> scenario.

It seems kind of crazy to me that our main mechanism of flash ID isn't standardised anywhere, despite the fact that almost every chip supports it in a similar way. I really feel like I must be missing something but at this point I wouldn't know where else to look. I am led to the conclusion that so far, the common solution to JEP106 continuation codes and banks is to pretend they don't exist and hope nobody has any collisions. That basically just leaves us to distinguishing between manufacturers using unique commands. 0x90 might be a good command for that? It's semi vendor specific and has some sort of unique system, but it still doesn't properly implement JEDEC manufacturer IDs so it definitely doesn't rule out the possibility of collision, and it won't work universally. The SFDP vendor-specific tables solution also technically exists but the XTX chip shows that's probably not the best idea. Overall this doesn't seem very ideal and I'm not confident on what the best solution is.

But if things are as bad as we find right now, I would say that we can deal with this in an incremental way, as follows: 1/ move all the manufacturers with continuation codes at the end of the manufacturers array -> we'll avoid the collisions between the flashes without continuation codes and those with continuation codes. 2/ for collisions between flashes with continuation codes we'll try to differentiate between them at run-time (sfdp, vendor specific commands, etc) 3/ if we can't find a run-time differentiator, we'll be forced to introduce compatibles with the flash names, which I don't like, but ... I'll think more about this, maybe I'll come with something better. I'll try the issi and gd and let you know about the outcome. Also about if I find something else in the standards. Michael, Pratyush and Vignesh my intervene too. I'll raise this to their attention.
