Their BCM947xx boards using CFE bootloader have several partitions -without any on-flash partition table. On some devices their sizes and/or -meanings can also vary so fixed partitioning can't be used. - -Discovering partitions on these devices is possible thanks to having a special -header and/or magic signature at the beginning of each of them. They are also -block aligned which is important for determinig a size. - -Most of partitions use ASCII text based magic for determining a type. More -complex partitions (like TRX with its HDR0 magic) may include extra header -containing some details, including a length. - -A list of supported partitions includes: -1) Bootloader with Broadcom's CFE (Common Firmware Environment) -2) NVRAM with configuration/calibration data -3) Device manufacturer's data with some default values (e.g. SSIDs) -4) TRX firmware container which can hold up to 4 subpartitions -5) Backup TRX firmware used after failed upgrade - -As mentioned earlier, role of some partitions may depend on extra configuration. -For example both: main firmware and backup firmware use the same TRX format with -the same header. To distinguish currently used firmware a CFE's environment -variable "bootpartition" is used. - - -Devices using Broadcom partitions described above should should have flash node -with a subnode named "partitions" using following properties: - -Required properties: -- compatible : (required) must be "brcm,bcm947xx-cfe-partitions" - -Example: - -flash@0 { - partitions { - compatible = "brcm,bcm947xx-cfe-partitions"; - }; -}; |
