220 | <title>Frame Buffer Library</title> | ||
221 | |||
222 | <para> | ||
223 | The frame buffer drivers depend heavily on four data structures. | ||
224 | These structures are declared in include/linux/fb.h. They are | ||
225 | fb_info, fb_var_screeninfo, fb_fix_screeninfo and fb_monospecs. | ||
226 | The last three can be made available to and from userland. | ||
227 | </para> | ||
228 | |||
229 | <para> | ||
230 | fb_info defines the current state of a particular video card. | ||
231 | Inside fb_info, there exists a fb_ops structure which is a | ||
232 | collection of needed functions to make fbdev and fbcon work. | ||
233 | fb_info is only visible to the kernel. | ||
234 | </para> | ||
235 | |||
236 | <para> | ||
237 | fb_var_screeninfo is used to describe the features of a video card | ||
238 | that are user defined. With fb_var_screeninfo, things such as | ||
239 | depth and the resolution may be defined. | ||
240 | </para> | ||
241 | |||
242 | <para> | ||
243 | The next structure is fb_fix_screeninfo. This defines the | ||
244 | properties of a card that are created when a mode is set and can't | ||
245 | be changed otherwise. A good example of this is the start of the | ||
246 | frame buffer memory. This "locks" the address of the frame buffer | ||
247 | memory, so that it cannot be changed or moved. | ||
248 | </para> | ||
249 | |||
250 | <para> | ||
251 | The last structure is fb_monospecs. In the old API, there was | ||
252 | little importance for fb_monospecs. This allowed for forbidden things | ||
253 | such as setting a mode of 800x600 on a fix frequency monitor. With | ||
254 | the new API, fb_monospecs prevents such things, and if used | ||
255 | correctly, can prevent a monitor from being cooked. fb_monospecs | ||
256 | will not be useful until kernels 2.5.x. | ||

302 | <chapter id="spi"> | ||
303 | <title>Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)</title> | ||
304 | <para> | ||
305 | SPI is the "Serial Peripheral Interface", widely used with | ||
306 | embedded systems because it is a simple and efficient | ||
307 | interface: basically a multiplexed shift register. | ||
308 | Its three signal wires hold a clock (SCK, often in the range | ||
309 | of 1-20 MHz), a "Master Out, Slave In" (MOSI) data line, and | ||
310 | a "Master In, Slave Out" (MISO) data line. | ||
311 | SPI is a full duplex protocol; for each bit shifted out the | ||
312 | MOSI line (one per clock) another is shifted in on the MISO line. | ||
313 | Those bits are assembled into words of various sizes on the | ||
314 | way to and from system memory. | ||
315 | An additional chipselect line is usually active-low (nCS); | ||
316 | four signals are normally used for each peripheral, plus | ||
317 | sometimes an interrupt. | ||
318 | </para> | ||
319 | <para> | ||
320 | The SPI bus facilities listed here provide a generalized | ||
321 | interface to declare SPI busses and devices, manage them | ||
322 | according to the standard Linux driver model, and perform | ||
323 | input/output operations. | ||
324 | At this time, only "master" side interfaces are supported, | ||
325 | where Linux talks to SPI peripherals and does not implement | ||
326 | such a peripheral itself. | ||
327 | (Interfaces to support implementing SPI slaves would | ||
328 | necessarily look different.) | ||
329 | </para> | ||
330 | <para> | ||
331 | The programming interface is structured around two kinds of driver, | ||
332 | and two kinds of device. | ||
333 | A "Controller Driver" abstracts the controller hardware, which may | ||
334 | be as simple as a set of GPIO pins or as complex as a pair of FIFOs | ||
335 | connected to dual DMA engines on the other side of the SPI shift | ||
336 | register (maximizing throughput). Such drivers bridge between | ||
337 | whatever bus they sit on (often the platform bus) and SPI, and | ||
338 | expose the SPI side of their device as a | ||
339 | <structname>struct spi_master</structname>. | ||
340 | SPI devices are children of that master, represented as a | ||
341 | <structname>struct spi_device</structname> and manufactured from | ||
342 | <structname>struct spi_board_info</structname> descriptors which | ||
343 | are usually provided by board-specific initialization code. | ||
344 | A <structname>struct spi_driver</structname> is called a | ||
345 | "Protocol Driver", and is bound to a spi_device using normal | ||
346 | driver model calls. | ||
347 | </para> | ||
348 | <para> | ||
349 | The I/O model is a set of queued messages. Protocol drivers | ||
350 | submit one or more <structname>struct spi_message</structname> | ||
351 | objects, which are processed and completed asynchronously. | ||
352 | (There are synchronous wrappers, however.) Messages are | ||
353 | built from one or more <structname>struct spi_transfer</structname> | ||
354 | objects, each of which wraps a full duplex SPI transfer. | ||
355 | A variety of protocol tweaking options are needed, because | ||
356 | different chips adopt very different policies for how they | ||
357 | use the bits transferred with SPI. | ||

365 | <title>I<superscript>2</superscript>C and SMBus Subsystem</title> | ||
366 | |||
367 | <para> | ||
368 | I<superscript>2</superscript>C (or without fancy typography, "I2C") | ||
369 | is an acronym for the "Inter-IC" bus, a simple bus protocol which is | ||
370 | widely used where low data rate communications suffice. | ||
371 | Since it's also a licensed trademark, some vendors use another | ||
372 | name (such as "Two-Wire Interface", TWI) for the same bus. | ||
373 | I2C only needs two signals (SCL for clock, SDA for data), conserving | ||
374 | board real estate and minimizing signal quality issues. | ||
375 | Most I2C devices use seven bit addresses, and bus speeds of up | ||
376 | to 400 kHz; there's a high speed extension (3.4 MHz) that's not yet | ||
377 | found wide use. | ||
378 | I2C is a multi-master bus; open drain signaling is used to | ||
379 | arbitrate between masters, as well as to handshake and to | ||
380 | synchronize clocks from slower clients. | ||
381 | </para> | ||
382 | |||
383 | <para> | ||
384 | The Linux I2C programming interfaces support only the master | ||
385 | side of bus interactions, not the slave side. | ||
386 | The programming interface is structured around two kinds of driver, | ||
387 | and two kinds of device. | ||
388 | An I2C "Adapter Driver" abstracts the controller hardware; it binds | ||
389 | to a physical device (perhaps a PCI device or platform_device) and | ||
390 | exposes a <structname>struct i2c_adapter</structname> representing | ||
391 | each I2C bus segment it manages. | ||
392 | On each I2C bus segment will be I2C devices represented by a | ||
393 | <structname>struct i2c_client</structname>. Those devices will | ||
394 | be bound to a <structname>struct i2c_driver</structname>, | ||
395 | which should follow the standard Linux driver model. | ||
396 | (At this writing, a legacy model is more widely used.) | ||
397 | There are functions to perform various I2C protocol operations; at | ||
398 | this writing all such functions are usable only from task context. | ||
399 | </para> | ||
400 | |||

455 | <title>Frame Buffer Library</title> | ||
456 | |||
457 | <para> | ||
458 | The frame buffer drivers depend heavily on four data structures. | ||
459 | These structures are declared in include/linux/fb.h. They are | ||
460 | fb_info, fb_var_screeninfo, fb_fix_screeninfo and fb_monospecs. | ||
461 | The last three can be made available to and from userland. | ||
462 | </para> | ||
463 | |||
464 | <para> | ||
465 | fb_info defines the current state of a particular video card. | ||
466 | Inside fb_info, there exists a fb_ops structure which is a | ||
467 | collection of needed functions to make fbdev and fbcon work. | ||
468 | fb_info is only visible to the kernel. | ||
469 | </para> | ||
470 | |||
471 | <para> | ||
472 | fb_var_screeninfo is used to describe the features of a video card | ||
473 | that are user defined. With fb_var_screeninfo, things such as | ||
474 | depth and the resolution may be defined. | ||
475 | </para> | ||
476 | |||
477 | <para> | ||
478 | The next structure is fb_fix_screeninfo. This defines the | ||
479 | properties of a card that are created when a mode is set and can't | ||
480 | be changed otherwise. A good example of this is the start of the | ||
481 | frame buffer memory. This "locks" the address of the frame buffer | ||
482 | memory, so that it cannot be changed or moved. | ||
483 | </para> | ||
484 | |||
485 | <para> | ||
486 | The last structure is fb_monospecs. In the old API, there was | ||
487 | little importance for fb_monospecs. This allowed for forbidden things | ||
488 | such as setting a mode of 800x600 on a fix frequency monitor. With | ||
489 | the new API, fb_monospecs prevents such things, and if used | ||
490 | correctly, can prevent a monitor from being cooked. fb_monospecs | ||
491 | will not be useful until kernels 2.5.x. | ||

538 | <title>Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)</title> | ||
539 | <para> | ||
540 | SPI is the "Serial Peripheral Interface", widely used with | ||
541 | embedded systems because it is a simple and efficient | ||
542 | interface: basically a multiplexed shift register. | ||
543 | Its three signal wires hold a clock (SCK, often in the range | ||
544 | of 1-20 MHz), a "Master Out, Slave In" (MOSI) data line, and | ||
545 | a "Master In, Slave Out" (MISO) data line. | ||
546 | SPI is a full duplex protocol; for each bit shifted out the | ||
547 | MOSI line (one per clock) another is shifted in on the MISO line. | ||
548 | Those bits are assembled into words of various sizes on the | ||
549 | way to and from system memory. | ||
550 | An additional chipselect line is usually active-low (nCS); | ||
551 | four signals are normally used for each peripheral, plus | ||
552 | sometimes an interrupt. | ||
553 | </para> | ||
554 | <para> | ||
555 | The SPI bus facilities listed here provide a generalized | ||
556 | interface to declare SPI busses and devices, manage them | ||
557 | according to the standard Linux driver model, and perform | ||
558 | input/output operations. | ||
559 | At this time, only "master" side interfaces are supported, | ||
560 | where Linux talks to SPI peripherals and does not implement | ||
561 | such a peripheral itself. | ||
562 | (Interfaces to support implementing SPI slaves would | ||
563 | necessarily look different.) | ||
564 | </para> | ||
565 | <para> | ||
566 | The programming interface is structured around two kinds of driver, | ||
567 | and two kinds of device. | ||
568 | A "Controller Driver" abstracts the controller hardware, which may | ||
569 | be as simple as a set of GPIO pins or as complex as a pair of FIFOs | ||
570 | connected to dual DMA engines on the other side of the SPI shift | ||
571 | register (maximizing throughput). Such drivers bridge between | ||
572 | whatever bus they sit on (often the platform bus) and SPI, and | ||
573 | expose the SPI side of their device as a | ||
574 | <structname>struct spi_master</structname>. | ||
575 | SPI devices are children of that master, represented as a | ||
576 | <structname>struct spi_device</structname> and manufactured from | ||
577 | <structname>struct spi_board_info</structname> descriptors which | ||
578 | are usually provided by board-specific initialization code. | ||
579 | A <structname>struct spi_driver</structname> is called a | ||
580 | "Protocol Driver", and is bound to a spi_device using normal | ||
581 | driver model calls. | ||
582 | </para> | ||
583 | <para> | ||
584 | The I/O model is a set of queued messages. Protocol drivers | ||
585 | submit one or more <structname>struct spi_message</structname> | ||
586 | objects, which are processed and completed asynchronously. | ||
587 | (There are synchronous wrappers, however.) Messages are | ||
588 | built from one or more <structname>struct spi_transfer</structname> | ||
589 | objects, each of which wraps a full duplex SPI transfer. | ||
590 | A variety of protocol tweaking options are needed, because | ||
591 | different chips adopt very different policies for how they | ||
592 | use the bits transferred with SPI. | ||

601 | |||
602 | <para> | ||
603 | I<superscript>2</superscript>C (or without fancy typography, "I2C") | ||
604 | is an acronym for the "Inter-IC" bus, a simple bus protocol which is | ||
605 | widely used where low data rate communications suffice. | ||
606 | Since it's also a licensed trademark, some vendors use another | ||
607 | name (such as "Two-Wire Interface", TWI) for the same bus. | ||
608 | I2C only needs two signals (SCL for clock, SDA for data), conserving | ||
609 | board real estate and minimizing signal quality issues. | ||
610 | Most I2C devices use seven bit addresses, and bus speeds of up | ||
611 | to 400 kHz; there's a high speed extension (3.4 MHz) that's not yet | ||
612 | found wide use. | ||
613 | I2C is a multi-master bus; open drain signaling is used to | ||
614 | arbitrate between masters, as well as to handshake and to | ||
615 | synchronize clocks from slower clients. | ||
616 | </para> | ||
617 | |||
618 | <para> | ||
619 | The Linux I2C programming interfaces support only the master | ||
620 | side of bus interactions, not the slave side. | ||
621 | The programming interface is structured around two kinds of driver, | ||
622 | and two kinds of device. | ||
623 | An I2C "Adapter Driver" abstracts the controller hardware; it binds | ||
624 | to a physical device (perhaps a PCI device or platform_device) and | ||
625 | exposes a <structname>struct i2c_adapter</structname> representing | ||
626 | each I2C bus segment it manages. | ||
627 | On each I2C bus segment will be I2C devices represented by a | ||
628 | <structname>struct i2c_client</structname>. Those devices will | ||
629 | be bound to a <structname>struct i2c_driver</structname>, | ||
630 | which should follow the standard Linux driver model. | ||
631 | (At this writing, a legacy model is more widely used.) | ||
632 | There are functions to perform various I2C protocol operations; at | ||
633 | this writing all such functions are usable only from task context. | ||
634 | </para> | ||
635 | |||
636 | <para> | ||
637 | The System Management Bus (SMBus) is a sibling protocol. Most SMBus | ||
638 | systems are also I2C conformant. The electrical constraints are | ||
639 | tighter for SMBus, and it standardizes particular protocol messages | ||
640 | and idioms. Controllers that support I2C can also support most | ||
641 | SMBus operations, but SMBus controllers don't support all the protocol | ||
642 | options that an I2C controller will. | ||
643 | There are functions to perform various SMBus protocol operations, | ||
644 | either using I2C primitives or by issuing SMBus commands to | ||
645 | i2c_adapter devices which don't support those I2C operations. | ||
