The NAND Interface is the device that reads and writes data to the NAND, acting as a proxy between the NAND and the Starlet.

Access R/W R/W R/W R/W W
Field WAIT WR RD ECC DATALEN

This register controls the state of the NAND interface.

Field Description
EXEC Write 1: initiate NAND command
Write 0: reset NAND interface
Read: NAND interface busy
IRQ Set to enable IRQ generation when command is complete
ERR If set, NAND error occured (?)[check]
A5 Send fifth address byte (typ. row address high)
A4 Send fourth address byte (typ. row address mid)
A3 Send third address byte (typ. row address low)
A2 Send second address byte (typ. column address high)
A1 Send first address byte (typ. column address low)
COMMAND 8-bit NAND command
WAIT Wait for R/B to go high between address and data phases (wait for read/write/erase/reset)
WR Transfer data to the NAND chip
RD Transfer data from the NAND chip
ECC Calculate ECC or ?? [check]
DATALEN Number of bytes to transfer during the data phase

NAND_CONFIG (0x0d010004)
  31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16
Access R/W R/W R/W R/W
Field ATTR0 ENABLE ATTR1 ATTR2
  15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Access R/W R/W
Field ATTR3 ATTR4

This register probably configures certain aspects of the NAND interface (timings?)[check].

Field Description
ATTR0 Set based on lookup table; set to 3 for 128MB NAND chips, 4 otherwise
ENABLE Set to 1 before first command is sent to NAND, set to 0 when de-initializing the NAND driver.
ATTR1 Set based on lookup table; always 0x3
ATTR2 Set based on lookup table; always 0x3e
ATTR3 Set based on lookup table; always 0x0e
ATTR4 Set based on lookup table; always 0x7f

When IOS initializes the NAND driver, it turns on the enable bit (writing 0x08000000) and then send the GET CHIP ID command (0x90). Based on the reply, it looks up the correct definitions of the other attributes and pokes them into this register (generally, 0x4b3e0e7f).


NAND_ADDR1 (0x0d010008)
  31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16
Access U
Field
  15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Access R/W R/W
Field ADDR2 ADDR1

This register contains the first two address bytes that can be sent to the NAND chip. Normally it contains the column address (offset within a page).

Field Description
ADDR2 Second address byte
ADDR1 First address byte

NAND_ADDR2 (0x0d01000c)
  31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16
Access U R/W
Field ADDR5
  15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Access R/W R/W
Field ADDR4 ADDR3

This register contains the last three address bytes that can be sent to the NAND chip. Normally it contains the row address (page number).

Field Description
ADDR5 Fifth address byte
ADDR4 Fourth address byte
ADDR3 Third address byte

NAND_DATABUF (0x0d010010)
  314 30
Access R/W U

This register contains the DMA address of the page data buffer (0x800 bytes). The address must be 16-byte aligned. If the spare data is being written alone (such as using a RANDOM DATA IN command with DMALEN=0x40), this points to it instead. Generally speaking, the first 0x800 bytes of data go here, whatever they may be.


NAND_ECCBUF (0x0d010014)
  314 30
Access R/W U

This register contains the DMA address of the spare and ECC data buffer (0x40 spare bytes + 0x10 bytes of hardware-calculated ECC syndrome). The address must be 16-byte aligned. The hardware-calculated ECC is written to the address in this register XOR 0x40.


NAND_UNK (0x0d010018)
  310
Access R/W

This register has an unknown function; the boot_ios syscall in the kernel writes 1 to it when reloading to a new IOS.
