14.4.8.3.3. MAP10 Usage Limitations

Use the MAP10 commands as follows:
  • MAP10 commands should be used to issue commands to the controller, such as erase, copy‑back, lock, or unlock.
  • MAP10 pipeline commands should also be used to read or write consecutive multiple pages from the flash device within a device block boundary. The host must first issue a MAP10 pipeline read or write command and then issue MAP01 commands to do the actual data transfers. The MAP10 pipeline read or write command instructs the NAND flash controller to use high‑performance commands such as cache or multiplane because the flash controller has knowledge of multiple consecutive pages to be read. The pages must not cross a block boundary. If a block boundary is crossed, the flash controller generates an unsupported command (unsup_cmd) interrupt and drops the command.
  • Up to four pipeline read or write commands, at the same time, can be issued to the NAND flash controller.
  • While the NAND flash controller is performing MAP10 pipeline read or write commands, DMA must be disabled (the flag bit of the dma_enable register in the dma group must be set to 0). DMA must be disabled because the host is directly transferring data from and to the flash device through the flash controller.
