Description
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
This module is a very simple fake I2C/SMBus driver. It implements six
|
||||
types of SMBus commands: write quick, (r/w) byte, (r/w) byte data, (r/w)
|
||||
word data, (r/w) I2C block data, and (r/w) SMBus block data.
|
||||
|
||||
You need to provide chip addresses as a module parameter when loading this
|
||||
driver, which will then only react to SMBus commands to these addresses.
|
||||
|
||||
No hardware is needed nor associated with this module. It will accept write
|
||||
quick commands to the specified addresses; it will respond to the other
|
||||
commands (also to the specified addresses) by reading from or writing to
|
||||
arrays in memory. It will also spam the kernel logs for every command it
|
||||
handles.
|
||||
|
||||
A pointer register with auto-increment is implemented for all byte
|
||||
operations. This allows for continuous byte reads like those supported by
|
||||
EEPROMs, among others.
|
||||
|
||||
SMBus block command support is disabled by default, and must be enabled
|
||||
explicitly by setting the respective bits (0x03000000) in the functionality
|
||||
module parameter.
|
||||
|
||||
SMBus block commands must be written to configure an SMBus command for
|
||||
SMBus block operations. Writes can be partial. Block read commands always
|
||||
return the number of bytes selected with the largest write so far.
|
||||
|
||||
The typical use-case is like this:
|
||||
|
||||
1. load this module
|
||||
2. use i2cset (from the i2c-tools project) to pre-load some data
|
||||
3. load the target chip driver module
|
||||
4. observe its behavior in the kernel log
|
||||
|
||||
There's a script named i2c-stub-from-dump in the i2c-tools package which
|
||||
can load register values automatically from a chip dump.
|
||||
|
||||
Parameters
|
||||
==========
|
||||
|
||||
int chip_addr[10]:
|
||||
The SMBus addresses to emulate chips at.
|
||||
|
||||
unsigned long functionality:
|
||||
Functionality override, to disable some commands. See I2C_FUNC_*
|
||||
constants in <linux/i2c.h> for the suitable values. For example,
|
||||
value 0x1f0000 would only enable the quick, byte and byte data
|
||||
commands.
|
||||
|
||||
u8 bank_reg[10], u8 bank_mask[10], u8 bank_start[10], u8 bank_end[10]:
|
||||
Optional bank settings. They tell which bits in which register
|
||||
select the active bank, as well as the range of banked registers.
|
||||
|
||||
Caveats
|
||||
=======
|
||||
|
||||
If your target driver polls some byte or word waiting for it to change, the
|
||||
stub could lock it up. Use i2cset to unlock it.
|
||||
|
||||
If you spam it hard enough, printk can be lossy. This module really wants
|
||||
something like relayfs.
