FlashDataReader

This class is an abstract interface for a class reading data from a flash. The flash can be any type, but is mostly used for flashes that are not memory mapped. Applications must implement access to the flash through this interface.

Public Functions


virtual bool	addressIsAddressable(const void * address) =0
	Compute if an address is directly addressable by the MCU.

virtual void	copyData(const void src, void dst, uint32_t bytes) =0
	Copy data from flash to a buffer.

virtual void	startFlashLineRead(const void * src, uint32_t bytes) =0
	Initiate a read operation from flash to a buffer.

virtual const uint8_t *	waitFlashReadComplete() =0
	Waits until the previous startFlashLineRead operation is complete.

virtual	~FlashDataReader()
	Finalizes an instance of the FlashDataReader class.

Public Functions Documentation

addressIsAddressable

Compute if an address is directly addressable by the MCU.

Compute if an address is directly addressable by the MCU. The data is addressable it should be read direct through a pointer and not through this interface.

Parameters:


address	The address in the flash.

Returns:

True if the address is addressable by the MCU.

copyData


virtual void copyData	(	const void *	src ,	=0
		void *	dst ,	=0
		uint32_t	bytes	=0
		)	=0

Copy data from flash to a buffer.

This must be a synchrony method that does not return until the copy is done.

Parameters:


src	Address of source data in the flash.
dst	Address of destination buffer in RAM.
bytes	Number of bytes to copy.

startFlashLineRead


virtual void startFlashLineRead	(	const void *	src ,	=0
		uint32_t	bytes	=0
		)	=0

Initiate a read operation from flash to a buffer.

This can be an asynchrony operation that is still running after this function returns. Buffers must be handled by the subclass. LCD16bppSerialFlash will at most copy 4 bytes times the width of the display.

Parameters:


src	Address of source data in the flash.
bytes	Number of bytes to copy.

waitFlashReadComplete


virtual const uint8_t * waitFlashReadComplete	(			)	=0

Waits until the previous startFlashLineRead operation is complete.

Waits until the previous startFlashLineRead operation is complete. If the startFlashLineRead method is asynchrony, this method must wait until the previous operation has completed.

Returns:

The address of a buffer containing the read data.
