The Flash Driver provides services for reading, writing, erasing flash memory for external Flash device.
4.14.3. Functional Overview
4.14.3.1. FLS Driver Architecture
The FLS driver has architecture as shown in below figure from the AUTOSAR specification.

Fig. 4.63 FLS in AUTOSAR architecture
The below figure shows typical connection of the QSPI module to the external quad-SPI flash memory

Fig. 4.64 QSPI connected to an external Quad SPI flash memory
4.14.3.2. Initialization
The driver FLS is initialized by calling Fls_Init() function and takes FlsConfigSet as input and Initializes Flash and QSPI. This will also make driver status to IDLE.
4.14.3.3. States
The Fls driver maintains states for:
MEMIF_UNINIT: This is the state when hardware is not initialized.
MEMIF_IDLE: when FLS driver initialized, it will go to IDLE state.
MEMIF_BUSY: In case of any on-going operation i.e., Erase OR read OR write, the state will be maintained as busy until the operation is completed.
MEMIF_BUSY_INTERNAL is not supported.
4.14.3.4. Assumptions
For using DMA feature, driver assumes that cache initialization is done in application only and not done by the driver.
4.14.3.5. Limitations
Only 1S-1S-4S mode is supported for QSPI.

4.14.8. Integration description
4.14.8.1. Dependent modules
4.14.8.1.1. MCU
The Fls Modules expects the MCU modules to enable the QSPI clock through the configuration. Required parameter for clock enabling:
Module ID: MCU_CLKSRC_MODULE_ID_QSPI
Source ID: MCU_CLKSRC_4
Divider value: 4
4.14.8.1.2. PORT
The Fls Modules expects that pinmux is set correctly to configure the Data line, Chip select and Clock pins for QSPI module. This is done by the PORT driver.
4.14.8.1.3. MemIf
This implementation depends on MemIf module and uses its imported types such as MemIf_JobResultType, MemIf_ModeType and MemIf_StatusType.
4.14.8.1.4. Fee
This implementation depends on Fee module for callback notification to notify the module environment about job end and job error.
4.14.8.1.5. DET
The module FLS depends on the DET (by default) in order to report development errors.

4.14.8.1.6. DEM
FLS modules does not report DEM errors.
4.14.8.1.7. Callback Functions
The FLS driver does not provide any callback functions.
4.14.8.1.8. DMA
Accessing flash memory via DMA controller can avoid intervention of CPU so that the CPU can perform other critical operations. Data transfer through DMA is efficient and faster.
4.14.8.1.9. Main Functions
The function Fls_MainFunction perform the processing of the flash read, write, erase and compare jobs. When a job has been initiated, the FLS module’s environment shall call the function Fls_MainFunction cyclically until the job is finished.
4.14.8.1.10. Fls Set Erase Function
This function is called from example app based on the macros enabled in application itself. Implementation of this function is done to allow user to select one or more erase types based on the requirement. The function Fls_SetEraseType sets the parameters like data size, data_value, erase type(sector/block/chip), “typeoferase” for Fls_DrvObj, based on the erase type parameter passed to this function while calling from example app. These parameters are required in example app.
4.14.8.1.11. Callback Notification
This implementation depends on Fee module for callback notification to notify the module environment about job end and job error
4.14.8.1.12. SchM
If multiple AUTOSAR runnables have access to the same Data Store Memory block, the exported AUTOSAR specification enforces data consistency by using an AUTOSAR exclusive area. With this specification, the runnables have mutually exclusive access to the per-instance memory global data, which prevents data corruption. Beside the OS, the BSW Scheduler provides functions that FLS module calls at begin and end of critical sections. This implementation requires 1 level of exclusive access to guard critical sections.
The data consistency mechanism that has to be applied to an ExclusiveArea might be domain, ECU or even project specific. The decision which mechanism has to be applied by RTE / Basic Software Scheduler is taken during ECU integration by setting the Exclusive Area configuration parameter RteExclusiveAreaImplMechanism. This parameter is an input for RTE generator. For FLS Module, data consistency and exclusive access to critical sections are required for the following sections as shown in the table below:
Exclusive Area Functions used |
FLS Function calling Exclusive Area |
Need for Exclusive Area |
Recommended Exclusive Area Mapping |
---|---|---|---|
FLS_EXCLUSIVE_AREA_0 |
Fls_Interrupt_Enable |
To protect against multiple access for shared resources |

4.14.9.3. Configuration changes with DMA mode
Flash configuration should include Cdd_Dma in module configurations to use DMA.

Fig. 4.66 FLS Module Configurations
Flash DMA handler is required for Flash DMA support in DMA configurations and CDD_TRANSFER_MODE_CHAINING should be used in Flash DMA Handler.

Fig. 4.67 FLS Handler in Cdd_Dma configuration
Flash Dma Handler should have two channels because it uses CDD_TRANSFER_MODE_CHAINING mode.

Fig. 4.68 FLS Handler Channels in Cdd_Dma configuration
Flash configuration should enable Memmap mode and Interrupt mode to use DMA.

Fig. 4.69 Dma, Memmap in FLS configuration (FlsConfigSet)

Fig. 4.70 Interrupt in FLS configuration (FlsGeneral)
4.14.9.3.1. Program changes with DMA mode
For DMA mode support, DMA TPCC0 Interrupt aggregation (INTR) line number 72 gets used to register ISR (CDD_EDMA_lld_transferCompletionMasterIsrFxn) with EDMA and Cache invalidation on destination buffers should happen using Mcal_CacheP_inv APIs before using Flash DMA support for read.
4.14.10. Examples
4.14.10.1. Overview
Initializes clock using Mcu_Init()
Initialize port using Port_Init()
Initialize Fls using Fls_Init()
Get Fls Version using Fls_GetVersionInfo()
Erase flash sector using Fls_Erase()
Perform the processing of jobs using Fls_MainFunction()
Read the result of the last job using Fls_GetJobResult()
Verify, whether a given memory area has been erased but not (yet) programmed using Fls_BlankCheck()
Write complete flash pages using Fls_Write()
Reads the flash memory using Fls_Read()
Check if the write operation was successful by comparing txBuf_test (hardcoded) with the actual data in flash using Fls_Compare()
Check if the read operation was successful by comparing rxBuf_test (previously read) with the actual data in flash

4.14.10.3. Steps to build and run example
FLS example application demonstrating the MCAL Fls driver features is in folder <MCAL_ROOT>/examples/Fls.
This application can be built from the root folder by giving gmake –s fls_app PLATFORM=am263.
after the build is completed we get a binary file,which is loaded in our controller and executed.

4.14.11. FAQ’s
Q1. What if some flashes also support write enable for non-volatile registers?
Before writing to any register in flash, write enable command is issued to the flash.
The Write enable can be issued to both volatile and non volatile registers depending on
what the flash supports. Currently the existing flash in the device supports write
enable to volatile registers. In case any external flash (e.g. S25FL064LABMFB01X) supports
write enable to both volatile and non volatile registers, the user can issue write enable
command for non volatile registers using Nor_QspiCmdWrite API. User can also update
the fls_config_sfdp_1.cmdWren parameter in Flash_sfdpParams_init API in V0/Fls_Nor_config.c file by following the flash datasheet.
