NAME
smb — SMB generic I/O device driver
SYNOPSIS
device smb
DESCRIPTION
The smb character device driver provides generic I/O to any smbus(4) instance. To control SMB devices, use /dev/smb? with the ioctls described below. Any of these ioctl commands takes a pointer to struct smbcmd as its argument.
#include <sys/types.h>
struct smbcmd {
|
u_char cmd; |
|||
|
u_char reserved; |
|||
|
u_short op; |
|||
|
union { |
|||
|
char byte; |
|||
|
char buf[2]; |
|||
|
short word; |
|||
|
} wdata; |
|||
|
union { |
|||
|
char byte; |
|||
|
char buf[2]; |
|||
|
short word; |
|||
|
} rdata; |
|||
|
int slave; |
|||
|
char *wbuf; /* use wdata if NULL */ |
|||
|
int wcount; |
|||
|
char *rbuf; /* use rdata if NULL */ |
|||
|
int rcount; |
};
The slave field is always used, and provides the address of the SMBus slave device. The slave address is specified in the seven most significant bits (i.e., ’’left-justified’’). The least significant bit of the slave address must be zero.
Ioctl Description
SMB_QUICK_WRITE
QuickWrite does not transfer any data. It just issues
the device address with write intent to the bus.
SMB_QUICK_READ QuickRead does not transfer any data.
It just issues the device address with read intent to the
bus.
SMB_SENDB SendByte sends the byte provided in
cmd to the device.
SMB_RECVB ReceiveByte reads a single byte from the
device which is returned in cmd.
SMB_WRITEB WriteByte first sends the byte from
cmd to the device, followed by the byte given in
wdata.byte.
SMB_WRITEW WriteWord first sends the byte from
cmd to the device, followed by the word given in
wdata.word. Note that the SMBus byte-order is
little-endian by definition.
SMB_READB ReadByte first sends the byte from
cmd to the device, then reads one byte of data from
the device. Returned data is stored in rdata.byte.
SMB_READW ReadWord first sends the byte from
cmd to the device, then reads one word of data from
the device. Returned data is stored in rdata.word.
SMB_PCALL ProcedureCall first sends the byte from
cmd to the device, followed by the word provided in
wdata.word. It then reads one word of data from the
device and returns it in rdata.word.
SMB_BWRITE BlockWrite first sends the byte from
cmd to the device, then the byte from wcount
followed by wcount bytes of data that are taken from
the buffer pointed to by wbuf. The SMBus
specification mandates that no more than 32 bytes of data
can be transferred in a single block read or write command.
This value can be read from the constant SMB_MAXBLOCKSIZE.
SMB_BREAD BlockRead first sends the byte from
cmd to the device, then reads a count of data bytes
that the device is going to provide and then reads that many
bytes. The count is returned in rcount. The data is
returned in the buffer pointed to by rbuf.
The read(2) and write(2) system calls are not implemented by this driver.
ERRORS
The ioctl(2) commands can cause the following driver-specific errors:
[ENXIO]
Device did not respond to selection.
[EBUSY]
Device still in use.
[ENODEV]
Operation not supported by device (not supposed to happen).
[EINVAL]
General argument error.
[EWOULDBLOCK]
SMBus transaction timed out.
