As shown in Figure 3, be a form of having preserved a plurality of NAND information, each pointer 1,2 and 3 in the pointer gauge then points to NAND information table 1,2 and 3 respectively.
When reality is used NAND, just can discern NAND so with following step:
Use same order to read the CHIP ID of NAND.In pointer gauge, utilize pointer to point to the space of each NAND information table one by one, utilize CHIP ID in each NAND information table, to search for, find a NAND information table, nand_id wherein should be identical with CHIP ID, and this information table is the NAND information table of being sought so.
Step 500 is when reading and writing data, according to finding the information in the NAND information table to calculate read/write address in the step 400.
At this, no matter be actual physical structure has the big page of 2112byte greatly to a page NAND, still be the NAND that a page only has the little page of 528byte, when calculated address, all will be divided into 528 1 page.
When calculated address, need according to block address that receives and (the bottom generation that these two addresses are file system of page offset address, the present invention will pass to file system with a kind of fixing form with multi-form address), calculate its actual physical address in NAND.Calculate row address and column address respectively, provide the address translation formula below, wherein " % " operational symbol for getting remainder after being divided by.
Row address=(actual page size/528) * (the block address of importing into) * (what page each block has)+(the page offset address that imports into/(actual page size/528));
Column address=(the page offset address % that imports into (actual page size/528)) * 528, column address need be removed high 4.
Actual page size in the formula is by obtaining in the NAND information table.
For example, for the example of a NAND who provides in the step 200, its block adds up to 1024, in each block the inside number of pages 32 page is arranged, and among each page 528Bytes is arranged.If its block address of importing into is 800 so, and the page offset address that imports into is 20, then can obtain:
Row address=(528/528) * (800) * 32+ (20/ (528/528))=800*32+20=25620;
Column address=(20% (528/528)) * 528=0, column address need be removed high 4.
Other lifts an example, and the out of Memory of establishing a NAND is all the same with last example, just among each page 2112Bytes is arranged.The block address that it imports into is 400, and the page offset address that imports into is 30.Then when calculated address, its result of calculation is:
Row address=(2112/528) * (400) * 32+ (30/ (2112/528))=4 * 400 * 32+7=51207;
Column address=(30% (2112/528)) * 528=1056, column address need be removed high 4, and final column address is 056.
Step 600 sends row and column address in the read/write address according to the difference of the ranks number of each NAND.
After read/write address calculating finishes, need send it to come among the NAND data read-write operation is carried out in the respective physical address.When sending the address, all be to pass through I/O
0～I/O
7Send, each cycle sends the address of one group of 8bit.When sending,, send out column address earlier according to the ranks number, period 1 normally sends, if column address more than 8, then moves to left 8 the 1st column address that all after dates will be good at every turn sends then, send row address again after sending column address, send mode is identical with the column address sending method.
Because the ranks number difference of each NAND also has difference so send the mode of rank addresses.The ranks number of described NAND is obtained by the NAND information table.As shown in Figure 4, wherein Fig. 4 a represents that the address that a row, column number is respectively 3 and 1 NAND sends form, needs to send 1 column address, and then sends 3 row addresses.The always total A0～A26 of this NAND is 27 bit address data altogether.As for A8, when sending the address need not, be to distinguish a8, so in above-mentioned address, do not have A8 with different control commands.Shared four bus cycles send an address in Fig. 4 a, have only in the data that sent in the 4th cycle low 2 effectively, high 6 invalid representation be "
*L ".Fig. 4 b represents that then a ranks number all is that the address of 2 NAND sends form, and this NAND need send 2 column addresss at every turn, 2 row addresses.The always total A0～A27 of this NAND is 28 bit address data altogether.Shared four bus cycles send an address, in the data that sent in the 2nd cycle high 4 invalid, be expressed as "
*L ".
In the prior art, when the NAND type change, need change corresponding driving program, to support dissimilar NAND.Therefore the present invention when the NAND type change, can change driver because used the NAND information table to discern NAND automatically, but supports the NAND of newtype by the mode of increase or renewal NAND information table.Cellphone subscriber's NAND information table that can use mobile communication to download to obtain upgrading for example.Provide the commercial city that very big convenience is provided for like this user, mobile-phone manufacturers or program.
Use method of the present invention, can discern polytype NAND automatically, therefore can support polytype NAND, make driver to need change because of the type difference of NAND with the program of a version.And can be so that the user can be by upgrading the mode of NAND information table, the more NAND tabulation supported of newer driver.
