mailbox: ioctl to fetch mailbox size

2021-10-19T22:10:38+00:00

The size of mailbox differ from AST2500, AST2600 A0 and A1. Add an ioctl support to fetch the mailbox size. Tested: Verfied ioctl call returns mailbox size as expected. Change-Id: I4e261aaf8aa3fb108d6ad152d30a17b114d70ccd Signed-off-by: Arun P. Mohanan

Documentation jtag: Add JTAG core driver ioctl number

2021-10-19T22:10:31+00:00

JTAG class driver provide infrastructure to support hardware/software JTAG platform drivers. It provide user layer API interface for flashing and debugging external devices which equipped with JTAG interface using standard transactions. Driver exposes set of IOCTL to user space for: - XFER: SIR (Scan Instruction Register, IEEE 1149.1 Data Register scan); SDR (Scan Data Register, IEEE 1149.1 Instruction Register scan); - GIOCSTATUS read the current TAPC state of the JTAG controller - SIOCSTATE Forces the JTAG TAPC to go into a particular state. - SIOCFREQ/GIOCFREQ for setting and reading JTAG frequency. - IOCBITBANG for low level control of JTAG signals.

platform/surface: aggregator_cdev: Add support for forwarding events to user-space

2021-06-16T15:47:53+00:00

Currently, debugging unknown events requires writing a custom driver. This is somewhat difficult, slow to adapt, and not entirely user-friendly for quickly trying to figure out things on devices of some third-party user. We can do better. We already have a user-space interface intended for debugging SAM EC requests, so let's add support for receiving events to that. This commit provides support for receiving events by reading from the controller file. It additionally introduces two new IOCTLs to control which event categories will be forwarded. Specifically, a user-space client can specify which target categories it wants to receive events from by registering the corresponding notifier(s) via the IOCTLs and after that, read the received events by reading from the controller device.

platform/surface: Add DTX driver

2021-03-17T17:39:38+00:00

The Microsoft Surface Book series devices consist of a so-called clipboard part (containing the CPU, touchscreen, and primary battery) and a base part (containing keyboard, secondary battery, and optional discrete GPU). These parts can be separated, i.e. the clipboard can be detached and used as tablet. This detachment process is initiated by pressing a button. On the Surface Book 2 and 3 (targeted with this commit), the Surface Aggregator Module (i.e. the embedded controller on those devices) attempts to send a notification to any listening client driver and waits for further instructions (i.e. whether the detachment process should continue or be aborted). If it does not receive a response in a certain time-frame, the detachment process (by default) continues and the clipboard can be physically separated. In other words, (by default and) without a driver, the detachment process takes about 10 seconds to complete. This commit introduces a driver for this detachment system (called DTX). This driver allows a user-space daemon to control and influence the detachment behavior. Specifically, it forwards any detachment requests to user-space, allows user-space to make such requests itself, and allows handling of those requests. Requests can be handled by either aborting, continuing/allowing, or delaying (i.e. resetting the timeout via a heartbeat commend). The user-space API is implemented via the /dev/surface/dtx miscdevice. In addition, user-space can change the default behavior on timeout from allowing detachment to disallowing it, which is useful if the (optional) discrete GPU is in use. Furthermore, this driver allows user-space to receive notifications about the state of the base, specifically when it is physically removed (as opposed to detachment requested), in what manner it is connected (i.e. in reverse-/tent-/studio- or laptop-mode), and what type of base is connected. Based on this information, the driver also provides a simple tablet-mode switch (aliasing all modes without keyboard access, i.e. tablet-mode and studio-mode to its reported tablet-mode). An implementation of such a user-space daemon, allowing configuration of detachment behavior via scripts (e.g. safely unmounting USB devices connected to the base before continuing) can be found at [1].
