Its three signal wires hold a clock (SCK, -often in the range of 1-20 MHz), a "Master Out, Slave In" (MOSI) data -line, and a "Master In, Slave Out" (MISO) data line. SPI is a full -duplex protocol; for each bit shifted out the MOSI line (one per clock) -another is shifted in on the MISO line. Those bits are assembled into -words of various sizes on the way to and from system memory. An -additional chipselect line is usually active-low (nCS); four signals are -normally used for each peripheral, plus sometimes an interrupt. - -The SPI bus facilities listed here provide a generalized interface to -declare SPI busses and devices, manage them according to the standard -Linux driver model, and perform input/output operations. At this time, -only "master" side interfaces are supported, where Linux talks to SPI -peripherals and does not implement such a peripheral itself. (Interfaces -to support implementing SPI slaves would necessarily look different.) - -The programming interface is structured around two kinds of driver, and -two kinds of device. A "Controller Driver" abstracts the controller -hardware, which may be as simple as a set of GPIO pins or as complex as -a pair of FIFOs connected to dual DMA engines on the other side of the -SPI shift register (maximizing throughput). Such drivers bridge between -whatever bus they sit on (often the platform bus) and SPI, and expose -the SPI side of their device as a :c:type:`struct spi_master -<spi_master>`. SPI devices are children of that master, -represented as a :c:type:`struct spi_device <spi_device>` and -manufactured from :c:type:`struct spi_board_info -<spi_board_info>` descriptors which are usually provided by -board-specific initialization code. A :c:type:`struct spi_driver -<spi_driver>` is called a "Protocol Driver", and is bound to a -spi_device using normal driver model calls. - -The I/O model is a set of queued messages. Protocol drivers submit one -or more :c:type:`struct spi_message <spi_message>` objects, -which are processed and completed asynchronously. (There are synchronous -wrappers, however.) Messages are built from one or more -:c:type:`struct spi_transfer <spi_transfer>` objects, each of -which wraps a full duplex SPI transfer. A variety of protocol tweaking -options are needed, because different chips adopt very different -policies for how they use the bits transferred with SPI. - -.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/spi/spi.h - :internal: - -.. kernel-doc:: drivers/spi/spi.c - :functions: spi_register_board_info - -.. kernel-doc:: drivers/spi/spi.c - :export: - -I\ :sup:`2`\ C and SMBus Subsystem -================================== - -I\ :sup:`2`\ C (or without fancy typography, "I2C") is an acronym for -the "Inter-IC" bus, a simple bus protocol which is widely used where low -data rate communications suffice. Since it's also a licensed trademark, -some vendors use another name (such as "Two-Wire Interface", TWI) for -the same bus. I2C only needs two signals (SCL for clock, SDA for data), -conserving board real estate and minimizing signal quality issues. Most -I2C devices use seven bit addresses, and bus speeds of up to 400 kHz; -there's a high speed extension (3.4 MHz) that's not yet found wide use. -I2C is a multi-master bus; open drain signaling is used to arbitrate -between masters, as well as to handshake and to synchronize clocks from -slower clients. - -The Linux I2C programming interfaces support only the master side of bus -interactions, not the slave side. The programming interface is -structured around two kinds of driver, and two kinds of device. An I2C -"Adapter Driver" abstracts the controller hardware; it binds to a -physical device (perhaps a PCI device or platform_device) and exposes a -:c:type:`struct i2c_adapter <i2c_adapter>` representing each -I2C bus segment it manages. On each I2C bus segment will be I2C devices -represented by a :c:type:`struct i2c_client <i2c_client>`. -Those devices will be bound to a :c:type:`struct i2c_driver -<i2c_driver>`, which should follow the standard Linux driver -model. (At this writing, a legacy model is more widely used.) There are -functions to perform various I2C protocol operations; at this writing -all such functions are usable only from task context. - -The System Management Bus (SMBus) is a sibling protocol. Most SMBus -systems are also I2C conformant. The electrical constraints are tighter -for SMBus, and it standardizes particular protocol messages and idioms. -Controllers that support I2C can also support most SMBus operations, but -SMBus controllers don't support all the protocol options that an I2C -controller will. There are functions to perform various SMBus protocol -operations, either using I2C primitives or by issuing SMBus commands to -i2c_adapter devices which don't support those I2C operations. - -.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/i2c.h - :internal: - -.. kernel-doc:: drivers/i2c/i2c-boardinfo.c - :functions: i2c_register_board_info - -.. kernel-doc:: drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c - :export: - -High Speed Synchronous Serial Interface (HSI) -============================================= - -High Speed Synchronous Serial Interface (HSI) is a serial interface -mainly used for connecting application engines (APE) with cellular modem -engines (CMT) in cellular handsets.

Its three signal wires hold a clock (SCK, +often in the range of 1-20 MHz), a "Master Out, Slave In" (MOSI) data +line, and a "Master In, Slave Out" (MISO) data line. SPI is a full +duplex protocol; for each bit shifted out the MOSI line (one per clock) +another is shifted in on the MISO line. Those bits are assembled into +words of various sizes on the way to and from system memory. An +additional chipselect line is usually active-low (nCS); four signals are +normally used for each peripheral, plus sometimes an interrupt. + +The SPI bus facilities listed here provide a generalized interface to +declare SPI busses and devices, manage them according to the standard +Linux driver model, and perform input/output operations. At this time, +only "master" side interfaces are supported, where Linux talks to SPI +peripherals and does not implement such a peripheral itself. (Interfaces +to support implementing SPI slaves would necessarily look different.) + +The programming interface is structured around two kinds of driver, and +two kinds of device. A "Controller Driver" abstracts the controller +hardware, which may be as simple as a set of GPIO pins or as complex as +a pair of FIFOs connected to dual DMA engines on the other side of the +SPI shift register (maximizing throughput). Such drivers bridge between +whatever bus they sit on (often the platform bus) and SPI, and expose +the SPI side of their device as a :c:type:`struct spi_master +<spi_master>`. SPI devices are children of that master, +represented as a :c:type:`struct spi_device <spi_device>` and +manufactured from :c:type:`struct spi_board_info +<spi_board_info>` descriptors which are usually provided by +board-specific initialization code. A :c:type:`struct spi_driver +<spi_driver>` is called a "Protocol Driver", and is bound to a +spi_device using normal driver model calls. + +The I/O model is a set of queued messages. Protocol drivers submit one +or more :c:type:`struct spi_message <spi_message>` objects, +which are processed and completed asynchronously. (There are synchronous +wrappers, however.) Messages are built from one or more +:c:type:`struct spi_transfer <spi_transfer>` objects, each of +which wraps a full duplex SPI transfer. A variety of protocol tweaking +options are needed, because different chips adopt very different +policies for how they use the bits transferred with SPI. + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/spi/spi.h + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/spi/spi.c + :functions: spi_register_board_info + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/spi/spi.c + :export: + +I\ :sup:`2`\ C and SMBus Subsystem +================================== + +I\ :sup:`2`\ C (or without fancy typography, "I2C") is an acronym for +the "Inter-IC" bus, a simple bus protocol which is widely used where low +data rate communications suffice. Since it's also a licensed trademark, +some vendors use another name (such as "Two-Wire Interface", TWI) for +the same bus. I2C only needs two signals (SCL for clock, SDA for data), +conserving board real estate and minimizing signal quality issues. Most +I2C devices use seven bit addresses, and bus speeds of up to 400 kHz; +there's a high speed extension (3.4 MHz) that's not yet found wide use. +I2C is a multi-master bus; open drain signaling is used to arbitrate +between masters, as well as to handshake and to synchronize clocks from +slower clients. + +The Linux I2C programming interfaces support only the master side of bus +interactions, not the slave side. The programming interface is +structured around two kinds of driver, and two kinds of device. An I2C +"Adapter Driver" abstracts the controller hardware; it binds to a +physical device (perhaps a PCI device or platform_device) and exposes a +:c:type:`struct i2c_adapter <i2c_adapter>` representing each +I2C bus segment it manages. On each I2C bus segment will be I2C devices +represented by a :c:type:`struct i2c_client <i2c_client>`. +Those devices will be bound to a :c:type:`struct i2c_driver +<i2c_driver>`, which should follow the standard Linux driver +model. (At this writing, a legacy model is more widely used.) There are +functions to perform various I2C protocol operations; at this writing +all such functions are usable only from task context. + +The System Management Bus (SMBus) is a sibling protocol. Most SMBus +systems are also I2C conformant. The electrical constraints are tighter +for SMBus, and it standardizes particular protocol messages and idioms. +Controllers that support I2C can also support most SMBus operations, but +SMBus controllers don't support all the protocol options that an I2C +controller will. There are functions to perform various SMBus protocol +operations, either using I2C primitives or by issuing SMBus commands to +i2c_adapter devices which don't support those I2C operations. + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/i2c.h + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/i2c/i2c-boardinfo.c + :functions: i2c_register_board_info + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c + :export: + +High Speed Synchronous Serial Interface (HSI) +============================================= + +High Speed Synchronous Serial Interface (HSI) is a serial interface +mainly used for connecting application engines (APE) with cellular modem +engines (CMT) in cellular handsets.
