ACPI Debug Output
The ACPI CA, the Linux ACPI core, and some ACPI drivers can generate debug
output. This document describes how to use this facility.
Compile-time configuration
--------------------------
ACPI debug output is globally enabled by CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG. If this config
option is turned off, the debug messages are not even built into the
kernel.
Boot- and run-time configuration
--------------------------------
When CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG=y, you can select the component and level of messages
you're interested in. At boot-time, use the acpi.debug_layer and
acpi.debug_level kernel command line options. After boot, you can use the
debug_layer and debug_level files in /sys/module/acpi/parameters/ to control
the debug messages.
debug_layer (component)
-----------------------
The "debug_layer" is a mask that selects components of interest, e.g., a
specific driver or part of the ACPI interpreter. To build the debug_layer
bitmask, look for the "#define _COMPONENT" in an ACPI source file.
You can set the debug_layer mask at boot-time using the acpi.debug_layer
command line argument, and you can change it after boot by writing values
to /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer.
The possible components are defined in include/acpi/acoutput.h and
include/acpi/acpi_drivers.h. Reading /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer
shows the supported mask values, currently these:
ACPI_UTILITIES 0x00000001

ACPI_EVENTS 0x00000004

ACPI_VIDEO_COMPONENT 0x10000000
ACPI_PROCESSOR_COMPONENT 0x20000000
debug_level
-----------
The "debug_level" is a mask that selects different types of messages, e.g.,
those related to initialization, method execution, informational messages, etc.
To build debug_level, look at the level specified in an ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT()
statement.
The ACPI interpreter uses several different levels, but the Linux
ACPI core and ACPI drivers generally only use ACPI_LV_INFO.
You can set the debug_level mask at boot-time using the acpi.debug_level
command line argument, and you can change it after boot by writing values
to /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level.
The possible levels are defined in include/acpi/acoutput.h. Reading
/sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level shows the supported mask values,
currently these:
ACPI_LV_INIT 0x00000001
ACPI_LV_DEBUG_OBJECT 0x00000002
ACPI_LV_INFO 0x00000004

ACPI_LV_VERBOSE_INFO 0x20000000
ACPI_LV_FULL_TABLES 0x40000000
ACPI_LV_EVENTS 0x80000000
Examples
--------
For example, drivers/acpi/bus.c contains this:
#define _COMPONENT ACPI_BUS_COMPONENT
...
ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_INFO, "Device insertion detected\n"));
To turn on this message, set the ACPI_BUS_COMPONENT bit in acpi.debug_layer
and the ACPI_LV_INFO bit in acpi.debug_level. (The ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT
statement uses ACPI_DB_INFO, which is macro based on the ACPI_LV_INFO
definition.)
Enable all AML "Debug" output (stores to the Debug object while interpreting
AML) during boot:
acpi.debug_layer=0xffffffff acpi.debug_level=0x2
Enable PCI and PCI interrupt routing debug messages:
acpi.debug_layer=0x400000 acpi.debug_level=0x4
Enable all ACPI hardware-related messages:
acpi.debug_layer=0x2 acpi.debug_level=0xffffffff
Enable all ACPI_DB_INFO messages after boot:
# echo 0x4 > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level
Show all valid component values:
# cat /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer

Empeg, Ltd's Empeg MP3 Car Audio Player
The initial design is to go in your car, but you can use it at home, on a
boat... almost anywhere. The principle is to store CD-quality music using
MPEG technology onto a hard disk in the unit, and use the power of the
embedded computer to serve up the music you want.

Not a lot here yet :-)
The Kenwood KCA-R6A remote control generates a sequence like the following:
Go low for approx 16T (Around 9000us)
Go high for approx 8T (Around 4000us)
Go low for less than 2T (Around 750us)
For each of the 32 bits
Go high for more than 2T (Around 1500us) == 1
Go high for less than T (Around 400us) == 0
Go low for less than 2T (Around 750us)
Rather than repeat a signal when the button is held down certain buttons
generate the following code to indicate repetition.
Go low for approx 16T
Go high for approx 4T
Go low for less than 2T
(By removing the <2T from the start of the sequence and placing at the end
it can be considered a stop bit but I found it easier to deal with it at
the start).
The 32 bits are encoded as XxYy where x and y are the actual data values
while X and Y are the logical inverses of the associated data values. Using
LSB first yields sensible codes for the numbers.
All codes are of the form b9xx
The numeric keys generate the code 0x where x is the number pressed.

C2 port support

Overview
--------
This driver implements the support for Linux of Silicon Labs (Silabs)
C2 Interface used for in-system programming of micro controllers.
By using this driver you can reprogram the in-system flash without EC2
or EC3 debug adapter. This solution is also useful in those systems
where the micro controller is connected via special GPIOs pins.
References
----------
The C2 Interface main references are at (http://www.silabs.com)
Silicon Laboratories site], see:
- AN127: FLASH Programming via the C2 Interface at
http://www.silabs.com/public/documents/tpub_doc/anote/Microcontrollers/Small_Form_Factor/en/an127.pdf, and
- C2 Specification at
http://www.silabs.com/public/documents/tpub_doc/spec/Microcontrollers/en/C2spec.pdf,
however it implements a two wire serial communication protocol (bit
banging) designed to enable in-system programming, debugging, and
boundary-scan testing on low pin-count Silicon Labs devices. Currently
this code supports only flash programming but extensions are easy to
add.
Using the driver
----------------
Once the driver is loaded you can use sysfs support to get C2port's
info or read/write in-system flash.
# ls /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/
access flash_block_size flash_erase rev_id
dev_id flash_blocks_num flash_size subsystem/
flash_access flash_data reset uevent
Initially the C2port access is disabled since you hardware may have
such lines multiplexed with other devices so, to get access to the
C2port, you need the command:
# echo 1 > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/access
after that you should read the device ID and revision ID of the
connected micro controller:
# cat /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/dev_id
8
# cat /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/rev_id
1
However, for security reasons, the in-system flash access in not
enabled yet, to do so you need the command:
# echo 1 > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/flash_access
After that you can read the whole flash:
# cat /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/flash_data > image
erase it:
# echo 1 > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/flash_erase
and write it:
# cat image > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/flash_data
after writing you have to reset the device to execute the new code:
# echo 1 > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/reset

If you just have to use Gmail to send patches, it CAN be made to work. It
requires a bit of external help, though.
The first problem is that Gmail converts tabs to spaces. This will
totally break your patches. To prevent this, you have to use a different
editor. There is a firefox extension called "ViewSourceWith"
(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/394) which allows you to
edit any text box in the editor of your choice. Configure it to launch
your favorite editor. When you want to send a patch, use this technique.
Once you have crafted your messsage + patch, save and exit the editor,
which should reload the Gmail edit box. GMAIL WILL PRESERVE THE TABS.
Hoorah. Apparently you can cut-n-paste literal tabs, but Gmail will
convert those to spaces upon sending!
The second problem is that Gmail converts tabs to spaces on replies. If
you reply to a patch, don't expect to be able to apply it as a patch.
The last problem is that Gmail will base64-encode any message that has a
non-ASCII character. That includes things like European names. Be aware.
Gmail is not convenient for lkml patches, but CAN be made to work.

the given range of bytes is about to be written. The

When dynamic ftrace is initialized, it calls kstop_machine to make
the machine act like a uniprocessor so that it can freely modify code
without worrying about other processors executing that same code. At
initialization, the mcount calls are changed to call a "record_ip"
function. After this, the first time a kernel function is called,
it has the calling address saved in a hash table.
At compile time every C file object is run through the
recordmcount.pl script (located in the scripts directory). This
script will process the C object using objdump to find all the
locations in the .text section that call mcount. (Note, only
the .text section is processed, since processing other sections
like .init.text may cause races due to those sections being freed).
Later on the ftraced kernel thread is awoken and will again call
kstop_machine if new functions have been recorded. The ftraced thread
will change all calls to mcount to "nop". Just calling mcount
and having mcount return has shown a 10% overhead. By converting
it to a nop, there is no measurable overhead to the system.
A new section called "__mcount_loc" is created that holds references
to all the mcount call sites in the .text section. This section is
compiled back into the original object. The final linker will add
all these references into a single table.
On boot up, before SMP is initialized, the dynamic ftrace code
scans this table and updates all the locations into nops. It also
records the locations, which are added to the available_filter_functions
list. Modules are processed as they are loaded and before they are
executed. When a module is unloaded, it also removes its functions from
the ftrace function list. This is automatic in the module unload
code, and the module author does not need to worry about it.
When tracing is enabled, kstop_machine is called to prevent races
with the CPUS executing code being modified (which can cause the
CPU to do undesireable things), and the nops are patched back
to calls. But this time, they do not call mcount (which is just
a function stub). They now call into the ftrace infrastructure.

traced is that we can now selectively choose which functions we

calls that need to be converted into nops. If there are not any, then
it simply goes back to sleep. But if there are some, it will call
kstop_machine to convert the calls to nops.
There may be a case in which you do not want this added latency.
Perhaps you are doing some audio recording and this activity might
cause skips in the playback. There is an interface to disable
and enable the "ftraced" kernel thread.
# echo 0 > /debug/tracing/ftraced_enabled
This will disable the calling of kstop_machine to update the
mcount calls to nops. Remember that there is a large overhead
to calling mcount. Without this kernel thread, that overhead will
exist.
If there are recorded calls to mcount, any write to the ftraced_enabled
file will cause the kstop_machine to run. This means that a
user can manually perform the updates when they want to by simply
echoing a '0' into the ftraced_enabled file.
The updates are also done at the beginning of enabling a tracer
that uses ftrace function recording.

Kernel driver adt7462
======================
Supported chips:
* Analog Devices ADT7462
Prefix: 'adt7462'
Addresses scanned: I2C 0x58, 0x5C
Datasheet: Publicly available at the Analog Devices website
Author: Darrick J. Wong
Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the Analog Devices ADT7462 chip family.
This chip is a bit of a beast. It has 8 counters for measuring fan speed. It
can also measure 13 voltages or 4 temperatures, or various combinations of the
two. See the chip documentation for more details about the exact set of
configurations. This driver does not allow one to configure the chip; that is
left to the system designer.
A sophisticated control system for the PWM outputs is designed into the ADT7462
that allows fan speed to be adjusted automatically based on any of the three
temperature sensors. Each PWM output is individually adjustable and
programmable. Once configured, the ADT7462 will adjust the PWM outputs in
response to the measured temperatures without further host intervention. This
feature can also be disabled for manual control of the PWM's.
Each of the measured inputs (voltage, temperature, fan speed) has
corresponding high/low limit values. The ADT7462 will signal an ALARM if
any measured value exceeds either limit.
The ADT7462 samples all inputs continuously. The driver will not read
the registers more often than once every other second. Further,
configuration data is only read once per minute.
Special Features
----------------
The ADT7462 have a 10-bit ADC and can therefore measure temperatures
with 0.25 degC resolution.
The Analog Devices datasheet is very detailed and describes a procedure for
determining an optimal configuration for the automatic PWM control.
The driver will report sensor labels when it is able to determine that
information from the configuration registers.
Configuration Notes
-------------------
Besides standard interfaces driver adds the following:
* PWM Control
* pwm#_auto_point1_pwm and temp#_auto_point1_temp and
* pwm#_auto_point2_pwm and temp#_auto_point2_temp -
point1: Set the pwm speed at a lower temperature bound.
point2: Set the pwm speed at a higher temperature bound.
The ADT7462 will scale the pwm between the lower and higher pwm speed when
the temperature is between the two temperature boundaries. PWM values range
from 0 (off) to 255 (full speed). Fan speed will be set to maximum when the
temperature sensor associated with the PWM control exceeds temp#_max.

Kernel driver lis3lv02d
==================
Supported chips:
* STMicroelectronics LIS3LV02DL and LIS3LV02DQ
Author:
Yan Burman <burman.yan@gmail.com>
Eric Piel <eric.piel@tremplin-utc.net>
Description
-----------
This driver provides support for the accelerometer found in various HP laptops
sporting the feature officially called "HP Mobile Data Protection System 3D" or
"HP 3D DriveGuard". It detect automatically laptops with this sensor. Known models
(for now the HP 2133, nc6420, nc2510, nc8510, nc84x0, nw9440 and nx9420) will
have their axis automatically oriented on standard way (eg: you can directly
play neverball). The accelerometer data is readable via
/sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d.
Sysfs attributes under /sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d/:
position - 3D position that the accelerometer reports. Format: "(x,y,z)"
calibrate - read: values (x, y, z) that are used as the base for input class device operation.
write: forces the base to be recalibrated with the current position.
rate - reports the sampling rate of the accelerometer device in HZ
This driver also provides an absolute input class device, allowing
the laptop to act as a pinball machine-esque joystick.
Axes orientation
----------------
For better compatibility between the various laptops. The values reported by
the accelerometer are converted into a "standard" organisation of the axes
(aka "can play neverball out of the box"):
* When the laptop is horizontal the position reported is about 0 for X and Y
and a positive value for Z
* If the left side is elevated, X increases (becomes positive)
* If the front side (where the touchpad is) is elevated, Y decreases (becomes negative)
* If the laptop is put upside-down, Z becomes negative
If your laptop model is not recognized (cf "dmesg"), you can send an email to the
authors to add it to the database. When reporting a new laptop, please include
the output of "dmidecode" plus the value of /sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d/position
in these four cases.

This driver implements support for the IDT ICS932S401 chip family.
This chip has 4 clock outputs--a base clock for the CPU (which is likely
multiplied to get the real CPU clock), a system clock, a PCI clock, a USB
clock, and a reference clock. The driver reports selected and actual
frequency. If spread spectrum mode is enabled, the driver also reports by what
percent the clock signal is being spread, which should be between 0 and -0.5%.
All frequencies are reported in KHz.
The ICS932S401 monitors all inputs continuously. The driver will not read

Elantech Touchpad Driver
========================
Copyright (C) 2007-2008 Arjan Opmeer <arjan@opmeer.net>
Extra information for hardware version 1 found and
provided by Steve Havelka
Version 2 (EeePC) hardware support based on patches
received from Woody at Xandros and forwarded to me
by user StewieGriffin at the eeeuser.com forum
Contents
~~~~~~~~
1. Introduction
2. Extra knobs

4.2.1 One finger touch
4.2.2 Two finger touch
1. Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Currently the Linux Elantech touchpad driver is aware of two different
hardware versions unimaginatively called version 1 and version 2. Version 1
is found in "older" laptops and uses 4 bytes per packet. Version 2 seems to
be introduced with the EeePC and uses 6 bytes per packet.
The driver tries to support both hardware versions and should be compatible
with the Xorg Synaptics touchpad driver and its graphical configuration
utilities.
Additionally the operation of the touchpad can be altered by adjusting the
contents of some of its internal registers. These registers are represented
by the driver as sysfs entries under /sys/bus/serio/drivers/psmouse/serio?
that can be read from and written to.
Currently only the registers for hardware version 1 are somewhat understood.
Hardware version 2 seems to use some of the same registers but it is not
known whether the bits in the registers represent the same thing or might
have changed their meaning.
On top of that, some register settings have effect only when the touchpad is
in relative mode and not in absolute mode. As the Linux Elantech touchpad
driver always puts the hardware into absolute mode not all information
mentioned below can be used immediately. But because there is no freely
available Elantech documentation the information is provided here anyway for
completeness sake.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
2. Extra knobs
~~~~~~~~~~~
Currently the Linux Elantech touchpad driver provides two extra knobs under
/sys/bus/serio/drivers/psmouse/serio? for the user.
* debug
Turn different levels of debugging ON or OFF.
By echoing "0" to this file all debugging will be turned OFF.
Currently a value of "1" will turn on some basic debugging and a value of
"2" will turn on packet debugging. For hardware version 1 the default is
OFF. For version 2 the default is "1".
Turning packet debugging on will make the driver dump every packet
received to the syslog before processing it. Be warned that this can
generate quite a lot of data!
* paritycheck
Turns parity checking ON or OFF.
By echoing "0" to this file parity checking will be turned OFF. Any
non-zero value will turn it ON. For hardware version 1 the default is ON.
For version 2 the default it is OFF.
Hardware version 1 provides basic data integrity verification by
calculating a parity bit for the last 3 bytes of each packet. The driver
can check these bits and reject any packet that appears corrupted. Using
this knob you can bypass that check.
It is not known yet whether hardware version 2 provides the same parity
bits. Hence checking is disabled by default. Currently even turning it on
will do nothing.

The io_mapping functions in linux/io-mapping.h provide an abstraction for
efficiently mapping small regions of an I/O device to the CPU. The initial
usage is to support the large graphics aperture on 32-bit processors where
ioremap_wc cannot be used to statically map the entire aperture to the CPU
as it would consume too much of the kernel address space.
A mapping object is created during driver initialization using
struct io_mapping *io_mapping_create_wc(unsigned long base,
unsigned long size)
'base' is the bus address of the region to be made
mappable, while 'size' indicates how large a mapping region to
enable. Both are in bytes.
This _wc variant provides a mapping which may only be used
with the io_mapping_map_atomic_wc or io_mapping_map_wc.
With this mapping object, individual pages can be mapped either atomically
or not, depending on the necessary scheduling environment. Of course, atomic
maps are more efficient:
void *io_mapping_map_atomic_wc(struct io_mapping *mapping,
unsigned long offset)
'offset' is the offset within the defined mapping region.
Accessing addresses beyond the region specified in the
creation function yields undefined results. Using an offset
which is not page aligned yields an undefined result. The
return value points to a single page in CPU address space.
This _wc variant returns a write-combining map to the
page and may only be used with mappings created by
io_mapping_create_wc
Note that the task may not sleep while holding this page
mapped.
void io_mapping_unmap_atomic(void *vaddr)
'vaddr' must be the the value returned by the last
io_mapping_map_atomic_wc call. This unmaps the specified
page and allows the task to sleep once again.
If you need to sleep while holding the lock, you can use the non-atomic
variant, although they may be significantly slower.
void *io_mapping_map_wc(struct io_mapping *mapping,
unsigned long offset)
This works like io_mapping_map_atomic_wc except it allows
the task to sleep while holding the page mapped.
void io_mapping_unmap(void *vaddr)
This works like io_mapping_unmap_atomic, except it is used
for pages mapped with io_mapping_map_wc.
At driver close time, the io_mapping object must be freed:
void io_mapping_free(struct io_mapping *mapping)
Current Implementation:
The initial implementation of these functions uses existing mapping
mechanisms and so provides only an abstraction layer and no new
functionality.
On 64-bit processors, io_mapping_create_wc calls ioremap_wc for the whole
range, creating a permanent kernel-visible mapping to the resource. The
map_atomic and map functions add the requested offset to the base of the
virtual address returned by ioremap_wc.
On 32-bit processors with HIGHMEM defined, io_mapping_map_atomic_wc uses
kmap_atomic_pfn to map the specified page in an atomic fashion;
kmap_atomic_pfn isn't really supposed to be used with device pages, but it
provides an efficient mapping for this usage.
On 32-bit processors without HIGHMEM defined, io_mapping_map_atomic_wc and
io_mapping_map_wc both use ioremap_wc, a terribly inefficient function which
performs an IPI to inform all processors about the new mapping. This results
in a significant performance penalty.

acpi.debug_layer= [HW,ACPI,ACPI_DEBUG]
acpi.debug_level= [HW,ACPI,ACPI_DEBUG]
Format: <int>
Each bit of the <int> indicates an ACPI debug layer,
1: enable, 0: disable. It is useful for boot time
debugging. After system has booted up, it can be set
via /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer.
CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG must be enabled for this to produce any output.
Available bits (add the numbers together) to enable debug output
for specific parts of the ACPI subsystem:
0x01 utilities 0x02 hardware 0x04 events 0x08 tables
0x10 namespace 0x20 parser 0x40 dispatcher
0x80 executer 0x100 resources 0x200 acpica debugger
0x400 os services 0x800 acpica disassembler.
The number can be in decimal or prefixed with 0x in hex.
Warning: Many of these options can produce a lot of
output and make your system unusable. Be very careful.
CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG must be enabled to produce any ACPI
debug output. Bits in debug_layer correspond to a
_COMPONENT in an ACPI source file, e.g.,
#define _COMPONENT ACPI_PCI_COMPONENT
Bits in debug_level correspond to a level in
ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT statements, e.g.,
ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_INFO, ...
See Documentation/acpi/debug.txt for more information
about debug layers and levels.
acpi.debug_level= [HW,ACPI]
Format: <int>
Each bit of the <int> indicates an ACPI debug level,
which corresponds to the level in an ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT
statement. After system has booted up, this mask
can be set via /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level.
Enable AML "Debug" output, i.e., stores to the Debug
object while interpreting AML:
acpi.debug_layer=0xffffffff acpi.debug_level=0x2
Enable PCI/PCI interrupt routing info messages:
acpi.debug_layer=0x400000 acpi.debug_level=0x4
Enable all messages related to ACPI hardware:
acpi.debug_layer=0x2 acpi.debug_level=0xffffffff
CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG must be enabled for this to produce
any output. The number can be in decimal or prefixed
with 0x in hex. Some of these options produce so much
output that the system is unusable.
The following global components are defined by the
ACPI CA:
0x01 error
0x02 warn
0x04 init
0x08 debug object
0x10 info
0x20 init names
0x40 parse
0x80 load
0x100 dispatch
0x200 execute
0x400 names
0x800 operation region
0x1000 bfield
0x2000 tables
0x4000 values
0x8000 objects
0x10000 resources
0x20000 user requests
0x40000 package
The number can be in decimal or prefixed with 0x in hex.
Warning: Many of these options can produce a lot of
output and make your system unusable. Be very careful.
Some values produce so much output that the system is
unusable. The "log_buf_len" parameter may be useful
if you need to capture more output.

Driver for USB radios for the Silicon Labs Si470x FM Radio Receivers
Copyright (c) 2008 Tobias Lorenz <tobias.lorenz@gmx.net>
Information from Silicon Labs
=============================
Silicon Laboratories is the manufacturer of the radio ICs, that nowadays are the
most often used radio receivers in cell phones. Usually they are connected with
I2C. But SiLabs also provides a reference design, which integrates this IC,
together with a small microcontroller C8051F321, to form a USB radio.
Part of this reference design is also a radio application in binary and source
code. The software also contains an automatic firmware upgrade to the most
current version. Information on these can be downloaded here:
http://www.silabs.com/usbradio
Supported ICs
=============
The following ICs have a very similar register set, so that they are or will be
supported somewhen by the driver:
- Si4700: FM radio receiver
- Si4701: FM radio receiver, RDS Support
- Si4702: FM radio receiver
- Si4703: FM radio receiver, RDS Support
- Si4704: FM radio receiver, no external antenna required
- Si4705: FM radio receiver, no external antenna required, RDS support, Dig I/O
- Si4706: Enhanced FM RDS/TMC radio receiver, no external antenna required, RDS
Support
- Si4707: Dedicated weather band radio receiver with SAME decoder, RDS Support
- Si4708: Smallest FM receivers
- Si4709: Smallest FM receivers, RDS Support
More information on these can be downloaded here:
http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBFMRadioRD.aspx
Supported USB devices
=====================
Currently the following USB radios (vendor:product) with the Silicon Labs si470x
chips are known to work:
- 10c4:818a: Silicon Labs USB FM Radio Reference Design
- 06e1:a155: ADS/Tech FM Radio Receiver (formerly Instant FM Music) (RDX-155-EF)
- 1b80:d700: KWorld USB FM Radio SnapMusic Mobile 700 (FM700)
Software
========
Testing is usually done with most application under Debian/testing:
- fmtools - Utility for managing FM tuner cards
- gnomeradio - FM-radio tuner for the GNOME desktop
- gradio - GTK FM radio tuner
- kradio - Comfortable Radio Application for KDE
- radio - ncurses-based radio application
There is also a library libv4l, which can be used. It's going to have a function
for frequency seeking, either by using hardware functionality as in radio-si470x
or by implementing a function as we currently have in every of the mentioned
programs. Somewhen the radio programs should make use of libv4l.
For processing RDS information, there is a project ongoing at:
http://rdsd.berlios.de/
There is currently no project for making TMC sentences human readable.
Audio Listing
=============
USB Audio is provided by the ALSA snd_usb_audio module. It is recommended to
also select SND_USB_AUDIO, as this is required to get sound from the radio. For
listing you have to redirect the sound, for example using one of the following
commands.
If you just want to test audio (very poor quality):
cat /dev/dsp1 > /dev/dsp
If you use OSS try:
sox -2 --endian little -r 96000 -t oss /dev/dsp1 -t oss /dev/dsp
If you use arts try:
arecord -D hw:1,0 -r96000 -c2 -f S16_LE | artsdsp aplay -B -
Module Parameters
=================
After loading the module, you still have access to some of them in the sysfs
mount under /sys/module/radio_si470x/parameters. The contents of read-only files
(0444) are not updated, even if space, band and de are changed using private
video controls. The others are runtime changeable.
Errors
======
Increase tune_timeout, if you often get -EIO errors.
When timed out or band limit is reached, hw_freq_seek returns -EAGAIN.
If you get any errors from snd_usb_audio, please report them to the ALSA people.
Open Issues
===========
V4L minor device allocation and parameter setting is not perfect. A solution is
currently under discussion.
There is an USB interface for downloading/uploading new firmware images. Support
for it can be implemented using the request_firmware interface.
There is a RDS interrupt mode. The driver is already using the same interface
for polling RDS information, but is currently not using the interrupt mode.
There is a LED interface, which can be used to override the LED control
programmed in the firmware. This can be made available using the LED support
functions in the kernel.

============
The HDQ/1-Wire module of TI OMAP2430/3430 platforms implement the hardware
protocol of the master functions of the Benchmark HDQ and the Dallas
Semiconductor 1-Wire protocols. These protocols use a single wire for
communication between the master (HDQ/1-Wire controller) and the slave
(HDQ/1-Wire external compliant device).
A typical application of the HDQ/1-Wire module is the communication with battery
monitor (gas gauge) integrated circuits.
The controller supports operation in both HDQ and 1-wire mode. The essential
difference between the HDQ and 1-wire mode is how the slave device responds to
initialization pulse.In HDQ mode, the firmware does not require the host to
create an initialization pulse to the slave.However, the slave can be reset by
using an initialization pulse (also referred to as a break pulse).The slave
does not respond with a presence pulse as it does in the 1-Wire protocol.
Remarks:
========
The driver (drivers/w1/masters/omap_hdq.c) supports the HDQ mode of the
controller. In this mode, as we can not read the ID which obeys the W1
spec(family:id:crc), a module parameter can be passed to the driver which will
be used to calculate the CRC and pass back an appropriate slave ID to the W1
core.
By default the master driver and the BQ slave i/f
driver(drivers/w1/slaves/w1_bq27000.c) sets the ID to 1.
Please note to load both the modules with a different ID if required, but note
that the ID used should be same for both master and slave driver loading.
e.g:
insmod omap_hdq.ko W1_ID=2
inamod w1_bq27000.ko F_ID=2
