Subject: [PATCH v1 0/7 SECTOR: Support aligning to flash sector boundary
Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2023 01:08:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230310000817.751962-1-binutils@emagii.com> (raw)
Patchset 1
Introduce the BANK command which allows
the user to define flash sector boundaries.
I.E:
BANK (bankname) {
SECTOR ("32 KB");
SECTOR ("32 KB");
SECTOR ("64 KB");
SECTOR ("64 KB");
SECTOR ("64 KB");
}
This can be used later to align a sector to the flash boundary using the
ALIGN_SECTOR command in an output sector.
A user who want to use their own tool to create the
a checksum, maybe using a SHA algorithm need a
simple way to understand the limits of the area
to calculate the digest on.
By aligning to a flash sector, this is much simplified.
When writing a new image to the flash, you first have
to erase the flash sector, so it is practical
to align stuff to flash sector boundaries.
