[PATCH] i2c: Move misc devices documentation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Some times ago the eeprom and max6875 drivers moved to
drivers/misc/eeprom, but their documentation did not follow. It's
finally time to get rid of Documentation/i2c/chips.

-Description
------------
-
-This is a simple EEPROM module meant to enable reading the first 256 bytes
-of an EEPROM (on a SDRAM DIMM for example). However, it will access serial
-EEPROMs on any I2C adapter. The supported devices are generically called
-24Cxx, and are listed above; however the numbering for these
-industry-standard devices may vary by manufacturer.
-
-This module was a programming exercise to get used to the new project
-organization laid out by Frodo, but it should be at least completely
-effective for decoding the contents of EEPROMs on DIMMs.
-
-DIMMS will typically contain a 24C01A or 24C02, or the 34C02 variants.
-The other devices will not be found on a DIMM because they respond to more
-than one address.
-
-DDC Monitors may contain any device. Often a 24C01, which responds to all 8
-addresses, is found.
-
-Recent Sony Vaio laptops have an EEPROM at 0x57. We couldn't get the
-specification, so it is guess work and far from being complete.
-
-The Microchip 24AA52/24LCS52, ST M34C02, and others support an additional
-software write protect register at 0x30 - 0x37 (0x20 less than the memory
-location). The chip responds to "write quick" detection at this address but
-does not respond to byte reads. If this register is present, the lower 128
-bytes of the memory array are not write protected. Any byte data write to
-this address will write protect the memory array permanently, and the
-device will no longer respond at the 0x30-37 address. The eeprom driver
-does not support this register.
-
-Lacking functionality:
-
-* Full support for larger devices (24C04, 24C08, 24C16). These are not
-typically found on a PC. These devices will appear as separate devices at
-multiple addresses.
-
-* Support for really large devices (24C32, 24C64, 24C128, 24C256, 24C512).
-These devices require two-byte address fields and are not supported.
-
-* Enable Writing. Again, no technical reason why not, but making it easy
-to change the contents of the EEPROMs (on DIMMs anyway) also makes it easy
-to disable the DIMMs (potentially preventing the computer from booting)
-until the values are restored somehow.
-
-Use:
-
-After inserting the module (and any other required SMBus/i2c modules), you
-should have some EEPROM directories in /sys/bus/i2c/devices/* of names such
-as "0-0050". Inside each of these is a series of files, the eeprom file
-contains the binary data from EEPROM.

-Kernel driver max6875
-=====================
-
-Supported chips:
-  * Maxim MAX6874, MAX6875
-    Prefix: 'max6875'
-    Addresses scanned: None (see below)
-    Datasheet:

-
-Description
------------
-
-The Maxim MAX6875 is an EEPROM-programmable power-supply sequencer/supervisor.
-It provides timed outputs that can be used as a watchdog, if properly wired.
-It also provides 512 bytes of user EEPROM.
-
-At reset, the MAX6875 reads the configuration EEPROM into its configuration
-registers.  The chip then begins to operate according to the values in the
-registers.
-
-The Maxim MAX6874 is a similar, mostly compatible device, with more intputs
-and outputs:
-             vin     gpi    vout
-MAX6874        6       4       8
-MAX6875        4       3       5
-
-See the datasheet for more information.
-
-
-Sysfs entries
--------------
-
-eeprom        - 512 bytes of user-defined EEPROM space.
-
-
-General Remarks
----------------
-
-Valid addresses for the MAX6875 are 0x50 and 0x52.
-Valid addresses for the MAX6874 are 0x50, 0x52, 0x54 and 0x56.
-The driver does not probe any address, so you must force the address.
-
-Example:
-$ modprobe max6875 force=0,0x50
-
-The MAX6874/MAX6875 ignores address bit 0, so this driver attaches to multiple
-addresses.  For example, for address 0x50, it also reserves 0x51.
-The even-address instance is called 'max6875', the odd one is 'dummy'.
-
-
-Programming the chip using i2c-dev
-----------------------------------
-
-Use the i2c-dev interface to access and program the chips.
-Reads and writes are performed differently depending on the address range.
-
-The configuration registers are at addresses 0x00 - 0x45.
-Use i2c_smbus_write_byte_data() to write a register and
-i2c_smbus_read_byte_data() to read a register.
-The command is the register number.
-
-Examples:
-To write a 1 to register 0x45:
-  i2c_smbus_write_byte_data(fd, 0x45, 1);
-
-To read register 0x45:
-  value = i2c_smbus_read_byte_data(fd, 0x45);
-
-
-The configuration EEPROM is at addresses 0x8000 - 0x8045.
-The user EEPROM is at addresses 0x8100 - 0x82ff.
-
-Use i2c_smbus_write_word_data() to write a byte to EEPROM.
-
-The command is the upper byte of the address: 0x80, 0x81, or 0x82.
-The data word is the lower part of the address or'd with data << 8.
-  cmd = address >> 8;
-  val = (address & 0xff) | (data << 8);
-
-Example:
-To write 0x5a to address 0x8003:
-  i2c_smbus_write_word_data(fd, 0x80, 0x5a03);
-
-
-Reading data from the EEPROM is a little more complicated.
-Use i2c_smbus_write_byte_data() to set the read address and then
-i2c_smbus_read_byte() or i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() to read the data.
-
-Example:
-To read data starting at offset 0x8100, first set the address:
-  i2c_smbus_write_byte_data(fd, 0x81, 0x00);
-
-And then read the data
-  value = i2c_smbus_read_byte(fd);
-
-  or
-
-  count = i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data(fd, 0x84, 16, buffer);
-
-The block read should read 16 bytes.
-0x84 is the block read command.
-
-See the datasheet for more details.
