4 | Description: | ||
5 | The /sys/firmware/sgi_uv directory contains information | ||
6 | about the SGI UV platform. | ||
7 | |||
8 | Under that directory are a number of files: | ||
9 | |||
10 | partition_id | ||
11 | coherence_id | ||
12 | |||
13 | The partition_id entry contains the partition id. | ||
14 | SGI UV systems can be partitioned into multiple physical | ||
15 | machines, which each partition running a unique copy | ||
16 | of the operating system. Each partition will have a unique | ||
17 | partition id. To display the partition id, use the command: | ||
18 | |||
19 | cat /sys/firmware/sgi_uv/partition_id | ||
20 | |||
21 | The coherence_id entry contains the coherence id. | ||
22 | A partitioned SGI UV system can have one or more coherence | ||
23 | domain. The coherence id indicates which coherence domain | ||
24 | this partition is in. To display the coherence id, use the | ||
25 | command: | ||
26 | |||
27 | cat /sys/firmware/sgi_uv/coherence_id | ||

5 | Description: | ||
6 | |||
7 | As a Kconfig option, individual GPIO signals may be accessed from | ||
8 | userspace. GPIOs are only made available to userspace by an explicit | ||
9 | "export" operation. If a given GPIO is not claimed for use by | ||
10 | kernel code, it may be exported by userspace (and unexported later). | ||
11 | Kernel code may export it for complete or partial access. | ||
12 | |||
13 | GPIOs are identified as they are inside the kernel, using integers in | ||
14 | the range 0..INT_MAX. See Documentation/gpio.txt for more information. | ||

17 | /export ... asks the kernel to export a GPIO to userspace | ||
18 | /unexport ... to return a GPIO to the kernel | ||
19 | /gpioN ... for each exported GPIO #N | ||
20 | /value ... always readable, writes fail for input GPIOs | ||
21 | /direction ... r/w as: in, out (default low); write: high, low | ||
22 | /gpiochipN ... for each gpiochip; #N is its first GPIO | ||
23 | /base ... (r/o) same as N | ||
24 | /label ... (r/o) descriptive, not necessarily unique | ||
25 | /ngpio ... (r/o) number of GPIOs; numbered N to N + (ngpio - 1) | ||
