Dear Cypress team,

I am looking for linux driver for this device.  Is there any driver compatible for this?

I have kernel 4.9.140 and ARM platform.

Thanks.

Walter

Hi Walter,

I got a response from our internal team. Currently, we do not have an explicit nvSRAM driver for Linux  However, we recommend use either the

      Linux SPI EEPROM driver under: drivers\misc\eeprom\at25.c

or the

     Linux SPI Flash drivers under: drivers\mtd\spi-nor\spi-nor.c + drivers\mtd\devices\m25p80.c

Both drivers are using device ID based probing that needs to be disabled and hard wired to the appropriate device entry (density, capabilities, …). Basic READ and WRITE functionality should work in this case with the above drivers, but note that there is no support for special NV instructions such as STORE or RECALL.

Thanks,

Girija

Hi Walter,

Please let me know the exact nvSRAM part number which you are planning to use. This will help us to check the availability of the driver.

Thanks,
