Description:
|
|||
|
The /sys/devices/ directory contains a sub-directory for each
|
|||
|
System-on-Chip (SoC) device on a running platform. Information
|
|||
|
regarding each SoC can be obtained by reading sysfs files. This
|
|||
|
functionality is only available if implemented by the platform.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The directory created for each SoC will also house information
|
|||
|
about devices which are commonly contained in /sys/devices/platform.
|
|||
|
It has been agreed that if an SoC device exists, its supported
|
|||
|
devices would be better suited to appear as children of that SoC.

|
|||
|
Description:
|
|||
|
Read-only attribute common to all SoCs. Contains the SoC machine
|
|||
|
name (e.g. Ux500).

|
|||
|
Description:
|
|||
|
Read-only attribute common to all SoCs. Contains SoC family name
|
|||
|
(e.g. DB8500).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
On many of ARM based silicon with SMCCC v1.2+ compliant firmware
|
|||
|
this will contain the JEDEC JEP106 manufacturer’s identification
|
|||
|
code. The format is "jep106:XXYY" where XX is identity code and
|
|||
|
YY is continuation code.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
This manufacturer’s identification code is defined by one
|
|||
|
or more eight (8) bit fields, each consisting of seven (7)
|
|||
|
data bits plus one (1) odd parity bit. It is a single field,
|
|||
|
limiting the possible number of vendors to 126. To expand
|
|||
|
the maximum number of identification codes, a continuation
|
|||
|
scheme has been defined.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The specified mechanism is that an identity code of 0x7F
|
|||
|
represents the "continuation code" and implies the presence
|
|||
|
of an additional identity code field, and this mechanism
|
|||
|
may be extended to multiple continuation codes followed
|
|||
|
by the manufacturer's identity code.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
For example, ARM has identity code 0x7F 0x7F 0x7F 0x7F 0x3B,
|
|||
|
which is code 0x3B on the fifth 'page'. This is shortened
|
|||
|
as JEP106 identity code of 0x3B and a continuation code of
|
|||
|
0x4 to represent the four continuation codes preceding the
|
|||
|
identity code.

serial number, if available.

Description:
|

|
Read-only attribute supported by most SoCs. In the case of
|
|||
|
ST-Ericsson's chips this contains the SoC serial number.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
On many of ARM based silicon with SMCCC v1.2+ compliant firmware
|
|||
|
this will contain the SOC ID appended to the family attribute
|
|||
|
to ensure there is no conflict in this namespace across various
|
|||
|
vendors. The format is "jep106:XXYY:ZZZZ" where XX is identity
|
|||
|
code, YY is continuation code and ZZZZ is the SOC ID.

Description:
|
|||
|
The /sys/bus/soc/ directory contains the usual sub-folders
|
|||
|
expected under most buses. /sys/bus/soc/devices is of particular
|
|||
|
interest, as it contains a symlink for each SoC device found on
|
|||
|
the system. Each symlink points back into the aforementioned
|
|||
|
/sys/devices/socX devices.
