Kernel driver i2c-taos-evm
Author: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>
This is a driver for the evaluation modules for TAOS I2C/SMBus chips.
The modules include an SMBus master with limited capabilities, which can
be controlled over the serial port. Virtually all evaluation modules
are supported, but a few lines of code need to be added for each new
module to instantiate the right I2C chip on the bus. Obviously, a driver
for the chip in question is also needed.
Currently supported devices are:
* TAOS TSL2550 EVM
For additional information on TAOS products, please see
http://www.taosinc.com/
Using this driver
-----------------
In order to use this driver, you'll need the serport driver, and the
inputattach tool, which is part of the input-utils package. The following
commands will tell the kernel that you have a TAOS EVM on the first
serial port:
# modprobe serport
# inputattach --taos-evm /dev/ttyS0
Technical details
-----------------
Only 4 SMBus transaction types are supported by the TAOS evaluation
modules:
* Receive Byte
* Send Byte
* Read Byte
* Write Byte
The communication protocol is text-based and pretty simple. It is
described in a PDF document on the CD which comes with the evaluation
module. The communication is rather slow, because the serial port has
to operate at 1200 bps. However, I don't think this is a big concern in
practice, as these modules are meant for evaluation and testing only.
