- Revision Reference:
- This Protocol was introduced in UEFI PI Specification 1.6.
Set the BIOS base address.
This routine must be called at or below TPL_NOTIFY. The BIOS base address works with the protect range registers to protect portions of the SPI NOR flash from erase and write operat ions. The BIOS calls this API prior to passing control to the OS loader.
- Parameters
-
[in] | This | Pointer to an EFI_LEGACY_SPI_FLASH_PROTOCOL data structure. |
[in] | BiosBaseAddress | The BIOS base address. |
- Return values
-
EFI_SUCCESS | The BIOS base address was properly set |
EFI_ACCESS_ERROR | The SPI controller is locked |
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER | BiosBaseAddress > This->MaximumOffset |
EFI_UNSUPPORTED | The BIOS base address was already set or not a legacy SPI host controller |
Clear the SPI protect range registers.
This routine must be called at or below TPL_NOTIFY. The BIOS uses this routine to set an initial condition on the SPI protect range registers.
- Parameters
-
[in] | This | Pointer to an EFI_LEGACY_SPI_FLASH_PROTOCOL data structure. |
- Return values
-
EFI_SUCCESS | The registers were successfully cleared |
EFI_ACCESS_ERROR | The SPI controller is locked |
EFI_UNSUPPORTED | Not a legacy SPI host controller |
Set the next protect range register.
This routine must be called at or below TPL_NOTIFY. The BIOS sets the protect range register to prevent write and erase operations to a portion of the SPI NOR flash device.
- Parameters
-
[in] | This | Pointer to an EFI_LEGACY_SPI_FLASH_PROTOCOL data structure. |
[in] | BiosAddress | Address within a 4 KiB block to start protecting. |
[in] | BlocksToProtect | The number of 4 KiB blocks to protect. |
- Return values
-
EFI_SUCCESS | The register was successfully updated |
EFI_ACCESS_ERROR | The SPI controller is locked |
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER | BiosAddress < This->BiosBaseAddress, or |
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER | BlocksToProtect * 4 KiB > This->MaximumRangeBytes, or BiosAddress - This->BiosBaseAddress
- (BlocksToProtect * 4 KiB) > This->MaximumRangeBytes
|
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES | No protect range register available |
EFI_UNSUPPORTED | Call This->SetBaseAddress because the BIOS base address is not set Not a legacy SPI host controller |
Lock the SPI controller configuration.
This routine must be called at or below TPL_NOTIFY. This routine locks the SPI controller's configuration so that the software is no longer able to update: Prefix table Opcode menu Opcode type table BIOS base address Protect range registers
- Parameters
-
[in] | This | Pointer to an EFI_LEGACY_SPI_FLASH_PROTOCOL data structure. |
- Return values
-
EFI_SUCCESS | The SPI controller was successfully locked |
EFI_ALREADY_STARTED | The SPI controller was already locked |
EFI_UNSUPPORTED | Not a legacy SPI host controller |
