The /azone/partition element contains a list of memory partitions that are created with the CMSIS-Zone utility. These memory partitions are based on parent memory definitions specified by /rzone/resources/memories element.

Example

<partition>
  <memory parent="Flash_NS" name="ROM_NS" offset="0x00000000" size="0x40000" fixed="1" access="rx" info="application code" />
  <memory parent="Flash_S"  name="ROM_S"  offset="0x00040000" size="0x40000" access="x"  info="boot code />
  <memory parent="SRAM1_NS" name="RAM_NS" offset="0x00000000" size="0x20000" />
  <memory parent="SRAM1_S"  name="RAM_S"  offset="0x00010000" size="0x20000" />
</partition>

/azone/partition/memory element

The /azone/partition/memory element defines a new memory sub-region that is related to a parent region in the *.rzone file.

Parent Element	Element Chain
partition	/azone/partition element
Attributes	Description	Type	Use
parent	The name of the parent region in the related *.rzone file.	xs:string	required
name	The name of a new memory partition.	xs:string	required
size	The physical memory size this block allocates.	xs:string	required
offset	The address offset of this memory partition. If fixed="1" the memory block cannot be re-ordered within the region.	xs:string	required
access	Access permissions for this memory block.	AccessType	optional
security	Security attributes for this memory block.	SecurityType	optional
privilege	Privilege level for this memory block.	PrivilegeType	optional
startup	"1" specifies that this region is used for the startup code of the application. Default value is "0".	xs:boolean	optional
fixed	"1" indicates a fixed offset within that region. "0" (default) allows to re-arrange the block within the region.	xs:boolean	optional
uninit	"1" specifies that this region is not zero initialized during startup. Default value is "0".	xs:boolean	optional
shared	"1" specifies that this region is used by multiple zones. Default value is "0".	xs:boolean	optional
dma	"1" specifies that this region is accessed by a DMA controller. Default value is "0".	xs:boolean	optional
info	Brief description of the memory block.	xs:string	optional
linker_control	Linker control settings for the memory region.	xs:string	optional

/azone/partition/peripheral element

The /azone/partition/peripheral element defines settings for a peripheral in a related *.rzone file.

group	The group name of the peripheral. The combination group / name must be be unique within a processor (specified by Pname).	xs:string	required
start	The logical start address of the peripheral in both secure and non-secure mode.	xs:string	required
start_s	The logical start address of the peripheral in secure mode only.	xs:string	optional
shared	"1" specifies that this peripheral group is used by multiple zones. Default value is "0".	xs:boolean	optional
dma	"1" specifies that this peripheral group is accessed by a DMA controller. Default value is "0".	xs:boolean	optional
external	"1" specifies that this peripheral is provided by an external component that is not part of the device. Default value is "0".	xs:boolean	optional
access	Access permissions for this peripheral.	AccessType	optional
