- <para> - The frame buffer drivers depend heavily on four data structures. - These structures are declared in include/linux/fb.h.

With fb_var_screeninfo, things such as - depth and the resolution may be defined. - </para> - - <para> - The next structure is fb_fix_screeninfo. This defines the - properties of a card that are created when a mode is set and can't - be changed otherwise. A good example of this is the start of the - frame buffer memory. This "locks" the address of the frame buffer - memory, so that it cannot be changed or moved. - </para> - - <para> - The last structure is fb_monospecs. In the old API, there was - little importance for fb_monospecs. This allowed for forbidden things - such as setting a mode of 800x600 on a fix frequency monitor. With - the new API, fb_monospecs prevents such things, and if used - correctly, can prevent a monitor from being cooked. fb_monospecs - will not be useful until kernels 2.5.x. - </para> - - <sect1><title>Frame Buffer Memory</title> -!Edrivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c - </sect1> -<!-- - <sect1><title>Frame Buffer Console</title> -X!Edrivers/video/console/fbcon.c - </sect1> ---> - <sect1><title>Frame Buffer Colormap</title> -!Edrivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcmap.c - </sect1> -<!-- FIXME: - drivers/video/fbgen.c has no docs, which stuffs up the sgml.

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 - <structname>struct spi_master</structname>. - SPI devices are children of that master, represented as a - <structname>struct spi_device</structname> and manufactured from - <structname>struct spi_board_info</structname> descriptors which - are usually provided by board-specific initialization code. - A <structname>struct spi_driver</structname> is called a - "Protocol Driver", and is bound to a spi_device using normal - driver model calls. - </para> - <para> - The I/O model is a set of queued messages. Protocol drivers - submit one or more <structname>struct spi_message</structname> - objects, which are processed and completed asynchronously. - (There are synchronous wrappers, however.) Messages are - built from one or more <structname>struct spi_transfer</structname> - 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. - </para> -!Iinclude/linux/spi/spi.h -!Fdrivers/spi/spi.c spi_register_board_info -!Edrivers/spi/spi.c - </chapter> - - <chapter id="i2c"> - <title>I<superscript>2</superscript>C and SMBus Subsystem</title> - - <para> - I<superscript>2</superscript>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. - </para> - - <para> - 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 <structname>struct i2c_adapter</structname> representing - each I2C bus segment it manages. - On each I2C bus segment will be I2C devices represented by a - <structname>struct i2c_client</structname>. Those devices will - be bound to a <structname>struct i2c_driver</structname>, - 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. - </para> - - <para> - 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. - </para> - -!Iinclude/linux/i2c.h -!Fdrivers/i2c/i2c-boardinfo.c i2c_register_board_info -!Edrivers/i2c/i2c-core.c - </chapter> - - <chapter id="hsi"> - <title>High Speed Synchronous Serial Interface (HSI)</title> - - <para> - 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. - - HSI provides multiplexing for up to 16 logical channels, - low-latency and full duplex communication. - </para> - -!Iinclude/linux/hsi/hsi.h -!Edrivers/hsi/hsi_core.c - </chapter> - - <chapter id="pwm"> - <title>Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM)</title> - <para> - Pulse-width modulation is a modulation technique primarily used to - control power supplied to electrical devices. - </para> - <para> - The PWM framework provides an abstraction for providers and consumers - of PWM signals.
