NAME
iic_acquire_bus, iic_release_bus, iic_exec, iic_smbus_write_byte, iic_smbus_read_byte, iic_smbus_receive_byte -- Inter IC (I2C) bus SYNOPSIS
#include <dev/i2c/i2cvar.h> int iic_acquire_bus(i2c_tag_t ic, int flags); int iic_release_bus(i2c_tag_t ic, int flags); int iic_exec(i2c_tag_t ic, i2c_op_t op, i2c_addr_t addr, const void *cmdbuf, size_t cmdlen, void *buf, size_t buflen, int flags); int iic_smbus_write_byte(i2c_tag_t ic, i2c_addr_t addr, uint8_t cmd, uint8_t data, int flags); int iic_smbus_read_byte(i2c_tag_t ic, i2c_addr_t addr, uint8_t cmd, uint8_t *datap, int flags); int iic_smbus_receive_byte(i2c_tag_t ic, i2c_addr_t addr, uint8_t *datap, int flags); DESCRIPTION
I2C is a two-wire bus developed by Philips used for connecting integrated circuits. It is commonly used for connecting devices such as EEP- ROMs, temperature sensors, fan controllers, real-time clocks, tuners, and other types of integrated circuits. The iic interface provides a means of communicating with I2C-connected devices. The System Management Bus, or SMBus, is a variant of the I2C bus with a simplified com- mand protocol and some electrical differences. DATA TYPES
Drivers for devices attached to the I2C bus will make use of the following data types: i2c_tag_t Controller tag for the I2C bus. This is a pointer to a struct i2c_controller, consisting of function pointers filled in by the I2C controller driver. i2c_op_t I2C bus operation. The following I2C bus operations are defined: I2C_OP_READ Perform a read operation. I2C_OP_READ_WITH_STOP Perform a read operation and send a STOP condition on the I2C bus at the conclusion of the read. I2C_OP_WRITE Perform a write operation. I2C_OP_WRITE_WITH_STOP Perform a write operation and send a STOP condition on the I2C bus at the conclusion of the write. i2c_addr_t I2C device address. struct i2c_attach_args Devices are attached to an I2C bus using this structure. The structure is defined as follows: struct i2c_attach_args { i2c_tag_t ia_tag; /* controller */ i2c_addr_t ia_addr; /* address of device */ int ia_size; /* size (for EEPROMs) */ }; FUNCTIONS
The following functions comprise the API provided to drivers of I2C-connected devices: iic_acquire_bus(ic, flags) Acquire an exclusive lock on the I2C bus. This is required since only one device may communicate on the I2C bus at a time. Driv- ers should acquire the bus lock, perform the I2C bus operations necessary, and then release the bus lock. Passing the I2C_F_POLL flag indicates to iic_acquire_bus() that sleeping is not permitted. iic_release_bus(ic, flags) Release an exclusive lock on the I2C bus. If the I2C_F_POLL flag was passed to iic_acquire_bus(), it must also be passed to iic_release_bus(). iic_exec(ic, op, addr, cmdbuf, cmdlen, buf, buflen, flags) Perform a series of I2C transactions on the bus. iic_exec() initiates the operation by sending a START condition on the I2C bus and then transmitting the address of the target device along with the transaction type. If cmdlen is non-zero, the command pointed to by cmdbuf is then sent to the device. If buflen is non-zero, iic_exec() will then transmit or receive the data, as indicated by op. If op indicates a read operation, iic_exec() will send a REPEATED START before transferring the data. If op so indicates, a STOP condition will be sent on the I2C bus at the conclusion of the operation. Passing the I2C_F_POLL flag indicates to iic_exec() that sleeping is not permitted. iic_smbus_write_byte(ic, addr, cmd, data, flags) Perform an SMBus WRITE BYTE operation. This is equivalent to I2C_OP_WRITE_WITH_STOP with cmdlen of 1 and buflen of 1. iic_smbus_read_byte(ic, addr, cmd, datap, flags) Perform an SMBus READ BYTE operation. This is equivalent to I2C_OP_READ_WITH_STOP with cmdlen of 1 and buflen of 1. iic_smbus_receive_byte(ic, addr, datap, flags) Perform an SMBus RECEIVE BYTE operation. This is equivalent to I2C_OP_READ_WITH_STOP with cmdlen of 0 and buflen of 1. CONTROLLER INTERFACE
The I2C controller driver must fill in the function pointers of an i2c_controller structure, which is defined as follows: struct i2c_controller { void *ic_cookie; /* controller private */ int (*ic_acquire_bus)(void *, int); void (*ic_release_bus)(void *, int); int (*ic_exec)(void *, i2c_op_t, i2c_addr_t, const void *, size_t, void *, size_t, int); int (*ic_send_start)(void *, int); int (*ic_send_stop)(void *, int); int (*ic_initiate_xfer)(void *, i2c_addr_t, int); int (*ic_read_byte)(void *, uint8_t *, int); int (*ic_write_byte)(void *, uint8_t, int); }; The (*ic_acquire_bus)() and (*ic_release_bus)() functions must always be provided. The controller driver may elect to provide an (*ic_exec)() function. This function is intended for use by automated controllers that do not provide manual control over I2C bus conditions such as START and STOP. If the (*ic_exec)() function is not provided, the following 5 functions will be used by iic_exec() in order to execute the I2C bus operation: (*ic_send_start)(cookie, flags) Send a START condition on the I2C bus. The I2C_F_POLL flag indicates that sleeping is not permitted. (*ic_send_stop)(cookie, flags) Send a STOP condition on the I2C bus. The I2C_F_POLL flag indicates that sleeping is not permitted. (*ic_initiate_xfer)(cookie, addr, flags) Initiate a transfer on the I2C bus by sending a START condition and then transmitting the I2C device address and transfer type. The I2C_F_READ flag indicates a read transfer; the lack of this flag indicates a write transfer. The I2C_F_POLL flag indicates that sleep- ing is not permitted. The error code ETIMEDOUT should be returned if a timeout that would indicate that the device is not present occurs. (*ic_read_byte)(cookie, datap, flags) Read a byte from the I2C bus into the memory location referenced by datap. The I2C_F_LAST flag indicates that this is the final byte of the transfer, and that a NACK condition should be sent on the I2C bus following the transfer of the byte. The I2C_F_STOP flag indi- cates that a STOP condition should be sent on the I2C bus following the transfer of the byte. The I2C_F_POLL flag indicates that sleeping is not permitted. (*ic_write_byte)(cookie, data, flags) Write the byte contained in data to the I2C bus. The I2C_F_STOP flag indicates that a STOP condition should be sent on the I2C bus following the transfer of the byte. The I2C_F_POLL flag indicates that sleeping is not permitted. SEE ALSO
