Doc: use misc-devices/ dir for drivers
We have a directory for misc drivers documentation, let's use it.

18 | Overview | ||
19 | -------- | ||
20 | |||
21 | This driver implements the support for Linux of Silicon Labs (Silabs) | ||
22 | C2 Interface used for in-system programming of micro controllers. | ||
23 | |||
24 | By using this driver you can reprogram the in-system flash without EC2 | ||
25 | or EC3 debug adapter. This solution is also useful in those systems | ||
26 | where the micro controller is connected via special GPIOs pins. | ||
27 | |||
28 | References | ||

31 | The C2 Interface main references are at (http://www.silabs.com) | ||
32 | Silicon Laboratories site], see: | ||

34 | - AN127: FLASH Programming via the C2 Interface at | ||
35 | http://www.silabs.com/public/documents/tpub_doc/anote/Microcontrollers/Small_Form_Factor/en/an127.pdf, and | ||

39 | |||
40 | however it implements a two wire serial communication protocol (bit | ||
41 | banging) designed to enable in-system programming, debugging, and | ||
42 | boundary-scan testing on low pin-count Silicon Labs devices. Currently | ||
43 | this code supports only flash programming but extensions are easy to | ||
44 | add. | ||
45 | |||
46 | Using the driver | ||
47 | ---------------- | ||
48 | |||
49 | Once the driver is loaded you can use sysfs support to get C2port's | ||
50 | info or read/write in-system flash. | ||
51 | |||
52 | # ls /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/ | ||
53 | access flash_block_size flash_erase rev_id | ||
54 | dev_id flash_blocks_num flash_size subsystem/ | ||
55 | flash_access flash_data reset uevent | ||
56 | |||
57 | Initially the C2port access is disabled since you hardware may have | ||
58 | such lines multiplexed with other devices so, to get access to the | ||
59 | C2port, you need the command: | ||
60 | |||
61 | # echo 1 > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/access | ||
62 | |||
63 | after that you should read the device ID and revision ID of the | ||
64 | connected micro controller: | ||
65 | |||
66 | # cat /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/dev_id | ||
67 | 8 | ||
68 | # cat /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/rev_id | ||
69 | 1 | ||
70 | |||
71 | However, for security reasons, the in-system flash access in not | ||
72 | enabled yet, to do so you need the command: | ||
73 | |||
74 | # echo 1 > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/flash_access | ||
75 | |||
76 | After that you can read the whole flash: | ||
77 | |||
78 | # cat /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/flash_data > image | ||
79 | |||
80 | erase it: | ||
81 | |||
82 | # echo 1 > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/flash_erase | ||
83 | |||
84 | and write it: | ||
85 | |||
86 | # cat image > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/flash_data | ||
87 | |||
88 | after writing you have to reset the device to execute the new code: | ||
89 | |||
90 | # echo 1 > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/reset | ||
