14.4.8.1.2. MAP00 Usage Limitations

The usage of these commands under normal operations is limited to the following situations:
  • They can be used to perform an Execute‑in‑Place (XIP) boot from the device; reading directly from the page buffer while booting directly from the device.
  • MAP00 commands can be used to perform RMW operations where MAP00 writes are used to modify a read page in the device page buffer. Because the NAND flash controller does not perform ECC correction during such an operation, Intel does not recommend this method in an MLC device.
  • In association with MAP11 commands, MAP00 commands provide a way for the host to directly access the device bypassing the hardware abstractions provided by NAND flash controller with MAP01 and MAP10 commands. This method is also used for debugging, or for issuing an operation that the flash controller might not support with MAP01 or MAP10 commands.

Restrictions:

  • MAP00 commands cannot be used with MAP01 commands to read part of a page. Accesses using MAP01 commands must perform a complete page transfer.
  • No ECC is performed during a MAP00 data access.
  • DMA must be disabled (the flag bit of the dma_enable register in the dma group must be set to 0) while performing MAP00 operations.
