<h1>OPAL Flash calls<a class="headerlink" href="#opal-flash-calls" title="Link to this heading"></a></h1>
<p>There are three OPAL calls for interacting with flash devices:</p>
<div class="highlight-c notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="cp">#define OPAL_FLASH_READ 110</span>
<span class="cp">#define OPAL_FLASH_WRITE 111</span>
<span class="cp">#define OPAL_FLASH_ERASE 112</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Multiple flash devices are supported by OPAL - each of these calls takes an id
parameter, which must match an ID found in the corresponding <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ibm,opal/flash&#64;n</span></code>
device tree node. See <a class="reference internal" href="../device-tree/ibm%2Copal/flash.html#device-tree-ibm-opal-flash"><span class="std std-ref">ibm,opal/flash device tree entries</span></a> for details of
the device tree bindings.</p>
<p>All operations on the flash device must be aligned to the block size of the
flash. This applies to both offset and size arguments.</p>
<p>This interface is asynchronous; all calls require a ‘token’ argument. On
success, the calls will return <a class="reference internal" href="return-codes.html#opal-async-completion"><span class="std std-ref">OPAL_ASYNC_COMPLETION</span></a>, and an
opal_async_completion message will be sent (with the appropriate token
argument) when the operation completes.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>These calls can have higher than normal latency, spending many
<strong>milliseconds</strong> inside OPAL. This is due to the OPAL_FLASH_* calls
typically being backed by flash on the other side of the LPC bus,
which has a maximum transfer rate of 5MB/sec, or to/from flash attached
to the ast2400/ast2500 (the typical setup for OpenPOWER systems) of
only 1.75MB/sec.</p>
</div>
<p>All calls share the same return values:</p>
<dl class="simple">
<dt><a class="reference internal" href="return-codes.html#opal-async-completion"><span class="std std-ref">OPAL_ASYNC_COMPLETION</span></a></dt><dd><p>operation started, an async completion will be triggered with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">token</span></code> argument</p>
</dd>
<dt><a class="reference internal" href="return-codes.html#opal-parameter"><span class="std std-ref">OPAL_PARAMETER</span></a></dt><dd><p>invalid flash id</p>
</dd>
<dt><a class="reference internal" href="return-codes.html#opal-parameter"><span class="std std-ref">OPAL_PARAMETER</span></a></dt><dd><p>invalid size or offset (alignment, or access beyond end of device)</p>
</dd>
<dt><a class="reference internal" href="return-codes.html#opal-busy"><span class="std std-ref">OPAL_BUSY</span></a></dt><dd><p>flash in use</p>
