From 9ca8dbcc65cfc63d6f5ef3312a33184e1d726e00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yunhong Jiang Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2015 12:17:53 -0700 Subject: Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base. It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and the base is: commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2 Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Sat Jul 25 12:13:34 2015 +0200 Prepare v4.1.3-rt3 Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We should apply another opnfv project repo in future.

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. -- cgit 1.2.3-korg
