Cosmos OpenSSD架构分析--FSC

接口速度：

数据传输

PCIE <--DMA--AXI--> DRAM <--DMA--AXI> FSC <--flash bus--> DIE

FSC控制器结构如下：

Way arbiter

Way arbiter是用在当有多个way controller都要请求commonflash bus 和 access page buffer，因为是公用的，所以就要分配permission权限，算法如下：

lastGrantedWay = 0
while (true)
　　if (requestArrived)
　　　　for (i = 0 to numberOfWays)
　　　　　　nextCandidate = (lastGrantedWay + i) % numberOfWays　　　　//就是从上次使用的way继续往下轮训着找
　　　　　　if (hasRequested(nextCandidate))
　　　　　　　　grantPermission(nextCandidate)

permission权限的意思是指（每次只有一个way可以使用）：

● Access page buffer (through data path)
● Use flash bus

下面列出一个example：

Buffer controller

Buffer controller controls data bus between page buffer and BCH ECC encoder/decoder

Buffer size is 2198B
● Data 2048B + 60B ECC parity + reserved (90B)
　　– Reserved space was intended to support more powerful ECC (currently not used)
● Page size of flash device is 8192B, thus, data transfer occurs 4 times

读过程：

page结构

1.Physical page size of flash device
■ 8KB+448B (8640B)
2.There are four chunks
■ Each chunk consists of a pair of data and parity
3.Reserved 40B area is intended to store FTL metadata (currently not used)

way controller

下面来看flash controller的具体结构：

①Reset, mode change commands are directly executed at their dedicated modules

● Reset module and mode change module are responsible for the control

②Page read, page program, block erase commands are executed in 2-3 stages
