An Intel MIC device is a + PCIe form factor add-in Coprocessor card based on the Intel Many + Integrated Core (MIC) architecture that runs a Linux OS. + +What: /sys/class/mic/mic(x) +Date: October 2013 +KernelVersion: 3.13 +Contact: Sudeep Dutt +Description: + The directories /sys/class/mic/mic0, /sys/class/mic/mic1 etc., + represent MIC devices (0,1,..etc). Each directory has + information specific to that MIC device. + +What: /sys/class/mic/mic(x)/family +Date: October 2013 +KernelVersion: 3.13 +Contact: Sudeep Dutt +Description: + Provides information about the Coprocessor family for an Intel + MIC device.

Possible values that + will be read are: + "offline" - The MIC device is ready to boot the card OS. On + reading this entry after an OSPM resume, a "boot" has to be + written to this entry if the card was previously shutdown + during OSPM suspend. + "online" - The MIC device has initiated booting a card OS. + "shutting_down" - The card OS is shutting down. + "reset_failed" - The MIC device has failed to reset. + "suspending" - The MIC device is currently being prepared for + suspend. On reading this entry, a "suspend" has to be written + to the state sysfs entry to ensure the card is shutdown during + OSPM suspend. + "suspended" - The MIC device has been suspended. + + When written, this sysfs entry triggers different state change + operations depending upon the current state of the card OS. + Acceptable values are: + "boot" - Boot the card OS image specified by the combination + of firmware, ramdisk, cmdline and bootmode + sysfs entries. + "reset" - Initiates device reset. + "shutdown" - Initiates card OS shutdown. + "suspend" - Initiates card OS shutdown and also marks the card + as suspended. + +What: /sys/class/mic/mic(x)/shutdown_status +Date: October 2013 +KernelVersion: 3.13 +Contact: Sudeep Dutt +Description: + An Intel MIC device runs a Linux OS during its operation. This + OS can shutdown because of various reasons. When read, this + entry provides the status on why the card OS was shutdown. + Possible values are: + "nop" - shutdown status is not applicable, when the card OS is + "online" + "crashed" - Shutdown because of a HW or SW crash. + "halted" - Shutdown because of a halt command. + "poweroff" - Shutdown because of a poweroff command. + "restart" - Shutdown because of a restart command. + +What: /sys/class/mic/mic(x)/cmdline +Date: October 2013 +KernelVersion: 3.13 +Contact: Sudeep Dutt +Description: + An Intel MIC device runs a Linux OS during its operation. Before + booting this card OS, it is possible to pass kernel command line + options to configure various features in it, similar to + self-bootable machines. When read, this entry provides + information about the current kernel command line options set to + boot the card OS. This entry can be written to change the + existing kernel command line options. Typically, the user would + want to read the current command line options, append new ones + or modify existing ones and then write the whole kernel command + line back to this entry. + +What: /sys/class/mic/mic(x)/firmware +Date: October 2013 +KernelVersion: 3.13 +Contact: Sudeep Dutt +Description: + When read, this sysfs entry provides the path name under + /lib/firmware/ where the firmware image to be booted on the + card can be found. The entry can be written to change the + firmware image location under /lib/firmware/. + +What: /sys/class/mic/mic(x)/ramdisk +Date: October 2013 +KernelVersion: 3.13 +Contact: Sudeep Dutt +Description: + When read, this sysfs entry provides the path name under + /lib/firmware/ where the ramdisk image to be used during card + OS boot can be found.

This sysfs entry can be written with the following + valid strings: + a) linux - Boot a Linux image. + b) elf - Boot an elf image for flash updates. + +What: /sys/class/mic/mic(x)/log_buf_addr +Date: October 2013 +KernelVersion: 3.13 +Contact: Sudeep Dutt +Description: + An Intel MIC device runs a Linux OS during its operation. For + debugging purpose and early kernel boot messages, the user can + access the card OS log buffer via debugfs. When read, this entry + provides the kernel virtual address of the buffer where the card + OS log buffer can be read. This entry is written by the host + configuration daemon to set the log buffer address. The correct + log buffer address to be written can be found in the System.map + file of the card OS. + +What: /sys/class/mic/mic(x)/log_buf_len +Date: October 2013 +KernelVersion: 3.13 +Contact: Sudeep Dutt +Description: + An Intel MIC device runs a Linux OS during its operation.
