+Kernel driver ds2490
+====================
+
+Supported chips:
+ * Maxim DS2490 based
+
+Author: Evgeniy Polyakov <johnpol@2ka.mipt.ru>
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The Maxim/Dallas Semiconductor DS2490 is a chip
+which allows to build USB <-> W1 bridges.
+
+DS9490(R) is a USB <-> W1 bus master device
+which has 0x81 family ID integrated chip and DS2490
+low-level operational chip.
+
+Notes and limitations.
+- The weak pullup current is a minimum of 0.9mA and maximum of 6.0mA.
+- The 5V strong pullup is supported with a minimum of 5.9mA and a
+ maximum of 30.4 mA. (From DS2490.pdf)
+- The hardware will detect when devices are attached to the bus on the
+ next bus (reset?) operation, however only a message is printed as
+ the core w1 code doesn't make use of the information. Connecting
+ one device tends to give multiple new device notifications.
+- The number of USB bus transactions could be reduced if w1_reset_send
+ was added to the API. The name is just a suggestion. It would take
+ a write buffer and a read buffer (along with sizes) as arguments.
+ The ds2490 block I/O command supports reset, write buffer, read
+ buffer, and strong pullup all in one command, instead of the current
+ 1 reset bus, 2 write the match rom command and slave rom id, 3 block
+ write and read data. The write buffer needs to have the match rom
+ command and slave rom id prepended to the front of the requested
+ write buffer, both of which are known to the driver.
+- The hardware supports normal, flexible, and overdrive bus
+ communication speeds, but only the normal is supported.
+- The registered w1_bus_master functions don't define error
+ conditions. If a bus search is in progress and the ds2490 is
+ removed it can produce a good amount of error output before the bus
+ search finishes.
+- The hardware supports detecting some error conditions, such as
+ short, alarming presence on reset, and no presence on reset, but the
+ driver doesn't query those values.
+- The ds2490 specification doesn't cover short bulk in reads in
+ detail, but my observation is if fewer bytes are requested than are
+ available, the bulk read will return an error and the hardware will
+ clear the entire bulk in buffer. It would be possible to read the
+ maximum buffer size to not run into this error condition, only extra
+ bytes in the buffer is a logic error in the driver. The code should
+ should match reads and writes as well as data sizes. Reads and
+ writes are serialized and the status verifies that the chip is idle
+ (and data is available) before the read is executed, so it should
+ not happen.
+- Running x86_64 2.6.24 UHCI under qemu 0.9.0 under x86_64 2.6.22-rc6
+ with a OHCI controller, ds2490 running in the guest would operate
+ normally the first time the module was loaded after qemu attached
+ the ds2490 hardware, but if the module was unloaded, then reloaded
+ most of the time one of the bulk out or in, and usually the bulk in
+ would fail. qemu sets a 50ms timeout and the bulk in would timeout
+ even when the status shows data available. A bulk out write would
+ show a successful completion, but the ds2490 status register would
+ show 0 bytes written. Detaching qemu from the ds2490 hardware and
+ reattaching would clear the problem. usbmon output in the guest and
+ host did not explain the problem. My guess is a bug in either qemu
+ or the host OS and more likely the host OS.

+Kernel driver for omap HDQ/1-wire module.
+========================================
+
+Supported chips:
+================
+ HDQ/1-wire controller on the TI OMAP 2430/3430 platforms.
+
+A useful link about HDQ basics:
+===============================
+http://focus.ti.com/lit/an/slua408a/slua408a.pdf
+
+Description:
+============
+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

+w1_ds2406 kernel driver
+=======================
+
+Supported chips:
+ * Maxim DS2406 (and other family 0x12) addressable switches
+
+Author: Scott Alfter <scott@alfter.us>
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The w1_ds2406 driver allows connected devices to be switched on and off.
+These chips also provide 128 bytes of OTP EPROM, but reading/writing it is
+not supported. In TSOC-6 form, the DS2406 provides two switch outputs and
+can be provided with power on a dedicated input. In TO-92 form, it provides
+one output and uses parasitic power only.
+
+The driver provides two sysfs files. state is readable; it gives the
+current state of each switch, with PIO A in bit 0 and PIO B in bit 1. The
+driver ORs this state with 0x30, so shell scripts get an ASCII 0/1/2/3 to
+work with. output is writable; bits 0 and 1 control PIO A and B,
+respectively. Bits 2-7 are ignored, so it's safe to write ASCII data.
+
+CRCs are checked on read and write. Failed checks cause an I/O error to be
+returned. On a failed write, the switch status is not changed.

+ W1_THERM_DS2423 0x1D
+
+Author: Mika Laitio <lamikr@pilppa.org>
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+Support is provided through the sysfs w1_slave file. Each opening and
+read sequence of w1_slave file initiates the read of counters and ram
+available in DS2423 pages 12 - 15.
+
+Result of each page is provided as an ASCII output where each counter
+value and associated ram buffer is outpputed to own line.
+
+Each lines will contain the values of 42 bytes read from the counter and
+memory page along the crc=YES or NO for indicating whether the read operation
+was successful and CRC matched.
+If the operation was successful, there is also in the end of each line
+a counter value expressed as an integer after c=
+
+Meaning of 42 bytes represented is following:
+ - 1 byte from ram page
+ - 4 bytes for the counter value
+ - 4 zero bytes
+ - 2 bytes for crc16 which was calculated from the data read since the previous crc bytes
+ - 31 remaining bytes from the ram page
+ - crc=YES/NO indicating whether read was ok and crc matched
+ - c=<int> current counter value
+
+example from the successful read:

+Kernel driver w1_therm
+====================

+Supported chips:

+
+Author: Evgeniy Polyakov <johnpol@2ka.mipt.ru>

+Description
+-----------
+
+w1_therm provides basic temperature conversion for ds18*20 devices.
+supported family codes:
+W1_THERM_DS18S20 0x10
+W1_THERM_DS1822 0x22
+W1_THERM_DS18B20 0x28
+W1_THERM_DS1825 0x3B
+
+Support is provided through the sysfs w1_slave file. Each open and
+read sequence will initiate a temperature conversion then provide two
+lines of ASCII output. The first line contains the nine hex bytes
+read along with a calculated crc value and YES or NO if it matched.
+If the crc matched the returned values are retained. The second line
+displays the retained values along with a temperature in millidegrees
+Centigrade after t=.
+
+Parasite powered devices are limited to one slave performing a
+temperature conversion at a time. If none of the devices are parasite
+powered it would be possible to convert all the devices at the same
+time and then go back to read individual sensors. That isn't
+currently supported. The driver also doesn't support reduced
+precision (which would also reduce the conversion time).
+
+The module parameter strong_pullup can be set to 0 to disable the
+strong pullup, 1 to enable autodetection or 2 to force strong pullup.
+In case of autodetection, the driver will use the "READ POWER SUPPLY"
+command to check if there are pariste powered devices on the bus.
+If so, it will activate the master's strong pullup.
+In case the detection of parasite devices using this command fails
+(seems to be the case with some DS18S20) the strong pullup can
+be force-enabled.
+If the strong pullup is enabled, the master's strong pullup will be
+driven when the conversion is taking place, provided the master driver
+does support the strong pullup (or it falls back to a pullup
+resistor). The DS18b20 temperature sensor specification lists a
+maximum current draw of 1.5mA and that a 5k pullup resistor is not
+sufficient. The strong pullup is designed to provide the additional
+current required.

+The 1-wire (w1) subsystem
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+The 1-wire bus is a simple master-slave bus that communicates via a single
+signal wire (plus ground, so two wires).
+
+Devices communicate on the bus by pulling the signal to ground via an open
+drain output and by sampling the logic level of the signal line.
+
+The w1 subsystem provides the framework for managing w1 masters and
+communication with slaves.
+
+All w1 slave devices must be connected to a w1 bus master device.
+
+Example w1 master devices:
+ DS9490 usb device
+ W1-over-GPIO
+ DS2482 (i2c to w1 bridge)
+ Emulated devices, such as a RS232 converter, parallel port adapter, etc
+
+
+What does the w1 subsystem do?
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+When a w1 master driver registers with the w1 subsystem, the following occurs:
+
+ - sysfs entries for that w1 master are created
+ - the w1 bus is periodically searched for new slave devices
+
+When a device is found on the bus, w1 core tries to load the driver for its family
+and check if it is loaded. If so, the family driver is attached to the slave.
+If there is no driver for the family, default one is assigned, which allows to perform
+almost any kind of operations. Each logical operation is a transaction
+in nature, which can contain several (two or one) low-level operations.
+Let's see how one can read EEPROM context:
+1. one must write control buffer, i.e. buffer containing command byte
+and two byte address. At this step bus is reset and appropriate device
+is selected using either W1_SKIP_ROM or W1_MATCH_ROM command.
+Then provided control buffer is being written to the wire.
+2. reading. This will issue reading eeprom response.
+
+It is possible that between 1. and 2. w1 master thread will reset bus for searching
+and slave device will be even removed, but in this case 0xff will
+be read, since no device was selected.
+
+
+W1 device families
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+Slave devices are handled by a driver written for a family of w1 devices.
+
+A family driver populates a struct w1_family_ops (see w1_family.h) and
+registers with the w1 subsystem.
+
+Current family drivers:
+w1_therm - (ds18?20 thermal sensor family driver)
+ provides temperature reading function which is bound to ->rbin() method
+ of the above w1_family_ops structure.
+
+w1_smem - driver for simple 64bit memory cell provides ID reading method.
+
+You can call above methods by reading appropriate sysfs files.
+
+
+What does a w1 master driver need to implement?
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The driver for w1 bus master must provide at minimum two functions.
+
+Emulated devices must provide the ability to set the output signal level
+(write_bit) and sample the signal level (read_bit).
+
+Devices that support the 1-wire natively must provide the ability to write and
+sample a bit (touch_bit) and reset the bus (reset_bus).
+
+Most hardware provides higher-level functions that offload w1 handling.
+See struct w1_bus_master definition in w1.h for details.
+
+
+w1 master sysfs interface

+<xx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx> - a directory for a found device. The format is family-serial
+bus - (standard) symlink to the w1 bus
+driver - (standard) symlink to the w1 driver
+w1_master_add - Manually register a slave device
+w1_master_attempts - the number of times a search was attempted
+w1_master_max_slave_count
+ - maximum number of slaves to search for at a time
+w1_master_name - the name of the device (w1_bus_masterX)
+w1_master_pullup - 5V strong pullup 0 enabled, 1 disabled
+w1_master_remove - Manually remove a slave device
+w1_master_search - the number of searches left to do, -1=continual (default)
+w1_master_slave_count
+ - the number of slaves found
+w1_master_slaves - the names of the slaves, one per line
+w1_master_timeout - the delay in seconds between searches
+
+If you have a w1 bus that never changes (you don't add or remove devices),
+you can set the module parameter search_count to a small positive number
+for an initially small number of bus searches. Alternatively it could be
+set to zero, then manually add the slave device serial numbers by
+w1_master_add device file. The w1_master_add and w1_master_remove files
+generally only make sense when searching is disabled, as a search will
+redetect manually removed devices that are present and timeout manually
+added devices that aren't on the bus.
+
+
+w1 slave sysfs interface
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+bus - (standard) symlink to the w1 bus
+driver - (standard) symlink to the w1 driver
+name - the device name, usually the same as the directory name
+w1_slave - (optional) a binary file whose meaning depends on the
+ family driver
+rw - (optional) created for slave devices which do not have
+ appropriate family driver. Allows to read/write binary data.

+Userspace communication protocol over connector [1].
+
+
+Message types.
+=============
+
+There are three types of messages between w1 core and userspace:
+1. Events. They are generated each time a new master or slave device
+ is found either due to automatic or requested search.
+2. Userspace commands.
+3. Replies to userspace commands.
+
+
+Protocol.
+========
+
+[struct cn_msg] - connector header.
+ Its length field is equal to size of the attached data
+[struct w1_netlink_msg] - w1 netlink header.
+ __u8 type - message type.
+ W1_LIST_MASTERS
+ list current bus masters
+ W1_SLAVE_ADD/W1_SLAVE_REMOVE
+ slave add/remove events
+ W1_MASTER_ADD/W1_MASTER_REMOVE
+ master add/remove events
+ W1_MASTER_CMD
+ userspace command for bus master
+ device (search/alarm search)
+ W1_SLAVE_CMD
+ userspace command for slave device
+ (read/write/touch)
+ __u8 status - error indication from kernel
+ __u16 len - size of data attached to this header data
+ union {
+ __u8 id[8]; - slave unique device id
+ struct w1_mst {
+ __u32 id; - master's id
+ __u32 res; - reserved
+ } mst;
+ } id;
+
+[struct w1_netlink_cmd] - command for given master or slave device.
+ __u8 cmd - command opcode.
+ W1_CMD_READ - read command
+ W1_CMD_WRITE - write command
+ W1_CMD_SEARCH - search command
+ W1_CMD_ALARM_SEARCH - alarm search command
+ W1_CMD_TOUCH - touch command
+ (write and sample data back to userspace)
+ W1_CMD_RESET - send bus reset
+ W1_CMD_SLAVE_ADD - add slave to kernel list
+ W1_CMD_SLAVE_REMOVE - remove slave from kernel list
+ W1_CMD_LIST_SLAVES - get slaves list from kernel
+ __u8 res - reserved
+ __u16 len - length of data for this command
+ For read command data must be allocated like for write command
+ __u8 data[0] - data for this command
+
+
+Each connector message can include one or more w1_netlink_msg with
+zero or more attached w1_netlink_cmd messages.
+
+For event messages there are no w1_netlink_cmd embedded structures,
+only connector header and w1_netlink_msg strucutre with "len" field
+being zero and filled type (one of event types) and id:
+either 8 bytes of slave unique id in host order,
+or master's id, which is assigned to bus master device
+when it is added to w1 core.
+
+Currently replies to userspace commands are only generated for read
+command request. One reply is generated exactly for one w1_netlink_cmd
+read request. Replies are not combined when sent - i.e. typical reply
+messages looks like the following:
+
+[cn_msg][w1_netlink_msg][w1_netlink_cmd]
+cn_msg.len = sizeof(struct w1_netlink_msg) +
+ sizeof(struct w1_netlink_cmd) +
+ cmd->len;
+w1_netlink_msg.len = sizeof(struct w1_netlink_cmd) + cmd->len;
+w1_netlink_cmd.len = cmd->len;
+
+Replies to W1_LIST_MASTERS should send a message back to the userspace
+which will contain list of all registered master ids in the following
+format:
+
+ cn_msg (CN_W1_IDX.CN_W1_VAL as id, len is equal to sizeof(struct
+ w1_netlink_msg) plus number of masters multiplied by 4)
+ w1_netlink_msg (type: W1_LIST_MASTERS, len is equal to
+ number of masters multiplied by 4 (u32 size))
+ id0 ... idN
+
+ Each message is at most 4k in size, so if number of master devices
+ exceeds this, it will be split into several messages.
+
+W1 search and alarm search commands.
+request:
+[cn_msg]
+ [w1_netlink_msg type = W1_MASTER_CMD
+ id is equal to the bus master id to use for searching]
+ [w1_netlink_cmd cmd = W1_CMD_SEARCH or W1_CMD_ALARM_SEARCH]
+
+reply:
+ [cn_msg, ack = 1 and increasing, 0 means the last message,
+ seq is equal to the request seq]
+ [w1_netlink_msg type = W1_MASTER_CMD]
+ [w1_netlink_cmd cmd = W1_CMD_SEARCH or W1_CMD_ALARM_SEARCH
+ len is equal to number of IDs multiplied by 8]
+ [64bit-id0 ... 64bit-idN]
+Length in each header corresponds to the size of the data behind it, so
+w1_netlink_cmd->len = N * 8; where N is number of IDs in this message.
+ Can be zero.
+w1_netlink_msg->len = sizeof(struct w1_netlink_cmd) + N * 8;
+cn_msg->len = sizeof(struct w1_netlink_msg) +
+ sizeof(struct w1_netlink_cmd) +
+ N*8;
+
+W1 reset command.
+[cn_msg]
+ [w1_netlink_msg type = W1_MASTER_CMD
+ id is equal to the bus master id to use for searching]
+ [w1_netlink_cmd cmd = W1_CMD_RESET]
+
+
+Command status replies.
+======================
+
+Each command (either root, master or slave with or without w1_netlink_cmd
+structure) will be 'acked' by the w1 core. Format of the reply is the same
+as request message except that length parameters do not account for data
+requested by the user, i.e. read/write/touch IO requests will not contain
+data, so w1_netlink_cmd.len will be 0, w1_netlink_msg.len will be size
+of the w1_netlink_cmd structure and cn_msg.len will be equal to the sum
+of the sizeof(struct w1_netlink_msg) and sizeof(struct w1_netlink_cmd).
+If reply is generated for master or root command (which do not have
+w1_netlink_cmd attached), reply will contain only cn_msg and w1_netlink_msg
+structures.
+
+w1_netlink_msg.status field will carry positive error value
+(EINVAL for example) or zero in case of success.
+
+All other fields in every structure will mirror the same parameters in the
+request message (except lengths as described above).
+
+Status reply is generated for every w1_netlink_cmd embedded in the
+w1_netlink_msg, if there are no w1_netlink_cmd structures,
+reply will be generated for the w1_netlink_msg.
+
+All w1_netlink_cmd command structures are handled in every w1_netlink_msg,
+even if there were errors, only length mismatch interrupts message processing.
+
+
+Operation steps in w1 core when new command is received.
+=======================================================
+
+When new message (w1_netlink_msg) is received w1 core detects if it is
+master or slave request, according to w1_netlink_msg.type field.
+Then master or slave device is searched for.
+When found, master device (requested or those one on where slave device
+is found) is locked. If slave command is requested, then reset/select
+procedure is started to select given device.
+
+Then all requested in w1_netlink_msg operations are performed one by one.
+If command requires reply (like read command) it is sent on command completion.
+
+When all commands (w1_netlink_cmd) are processed master device is unlocked
+and next w1_netlink_msg header processing started.
+
+
+Connector [1] specific documentation.
+====================================
+
+Each connector message includes two u32 fields as "address".
+w1 uses CN_W1_IDX and CN_W1_VAL defined in include/linux/connector.h header.
+Each message also includes sequence and acknowledge numbers.
+Sequence number for event messages is appropriate bus master sequence number
+increased with each event message sent "through" this master.
+Sequence number for userspace requests is set by userspace application.
+Sequence number for reply is the same as was in request, and
+acknowledge number is set to seq+1.
+
