HID Sensors Framework
-======================
+=====================
HID sensor framework provides necessary interfaces to implement sensor drivers,
which are connected to a sensor hub. The sensor hub is a HID device and it provides
a report descriptor conforming to HID 1.12 sensor usage tables.
This specification describes many usage IDs, which describe the type of sensor
and also the individual data fields. Each sensor can have variable number of
data fields. The length and order is specified in the report descriptor. For
-example a part of report descriptor can look like:
-
- INPUT(1)[INPUT]
- ..
- Field(2)
- Physical(0020.0073)
- Usage(1)
- 0020.045f
- Logical Minimum(-32767)
- Logical Maximum(32767)
- Report Size(8)
- Report Count(1)
- Report Offset(16)
- Flags(Variable Absolute)
-..
-..
+example a part of report descriptor can look like::
+
+ INPUT(1)[INPUT]
+ ..
+ Field(2)
+ Physical(0020.0073)
+ Usage(1)
+ 0020.045f
+ Logical Minimum(-32767)
+ Logical Maximum(32767)
+ Report Size(8)
+ Report Count(1)
+ Report Offset(16)
+ Flags(Variable Absolute)
+ ..
+ ..
The report is indicating "sensor page (0x20)" contains an accelerometer-3D (0x73).
This accelerometer-3D has some fields. Here for example field 2 is motion intensity
Implementation
-=================
+==============
This specification defines many different types of sensors with different sets of
data fields. It is difficult to have a common input event to user space applications,
for different sensors. For example an accelerometer can send X,Y and Z data, whereas
an ambient light sensor can send illumination data.
So the implementation has two parts:
+
- Core hid driver
- Individual sensor processing part (sensor drivers)
The core driver registers (hid-sensor-hub) registers as a HID driver. It parses
report descriptors and identifies all the sensors present. It adds an MFD device
with name HID-SENSOR-xxxx (where xxxx is usage id from the specification).
-For example
+
+For example:
+
HID-SENSOR-200073 is registered for an Accelerometer 3D driver.
+
So if any driver with this name is inserted, then the probe routine for that
function will be called. So an accelerometer processing driver can register
with this name and will be probed if there is an accelerometer-3D detected.
functions, which get and set each input/feature/output report.
Individual sensor processing part (sensor drivers)
------------
+--------------------------------------------------
+
The processing driver will use an interface provided by the core driver to parse
the report and get the indexes of the fields and also can get events. This driver
can use IIO interface to use the standard ABI defined for a type of sensor.
Core driver Interface
=====================
-Callback structure:
-Each processing driver can use this structure to set some callbacks.
+Callback structure::
+
+ Each processing driver can use this structure to set some callbacks.
int (*suspend)(..): Callback when HID suspend is received
int (*resume)(..): Callback when HID resume is received
int (*capture_sample)(..): Capture a sample for one of its data fields
int (*send_event)(..): One complete event is received which can have
multiple data fields.
-Registration functions:
-int sensor_hub_register_callback(struct hid_sensor_hub_device *hsdev,
+Registration functions::
+
+ int sensor_hub_register_callback(struct hid_sensor_hub_device *hsdev,
u32 usage_id,
struct hid_sensor_hub_callbacks *usage_callback):
Registers callbacks for an usage id. The callback functions are not allowed
-to sleep.
+to sleep::
-int sensor_hub_remove_callback(struct hid_sensor_hub_device *hsdev,
+ int sensor_hub_remove_callback(struct hid_sensor_hub_device *hsdev,
u32 usage_id):
Removes callbacks for an usage id.
-Parsing function:
-int sensor_hub_input_get_attribute_info(struct hid_sensor_hub_device *hsdev,
+Parsing function::
+
+ int sensor_hub_input_get_attribute_info(struct hid_sensor_hub_device *hsdev,
u8 type,
u32 usage_id, u32 attr_usage_id,
struct hid_sensor_hub_attribute_info *info);
These indexes avoid searching every time and getting field index to get or set.
-Set Feature report
-int sensor_hub_set_feature(struct hid_sensor_hub_device *hsdev, u32 report_id,
+Set Feature report::
+
+ int sensor_hub_set_feature(struct hid_sensor_hub_device *hsdev, u32 report_id,
u32 field_index, s32 value);
This interface is used to set a value for a field in feature report. For example
if there is a field report_interval, which is parsed by a call to
-sensor_hub_input_get_attribute_info before, then it can directly set that individual
-field.
+sensor_hub_input_get_attribute_info before, then it can directly set that
+individual field::
-int sensor_hub_get_feature(struct hid_sensor_hub_device *hsdev, u32 report_id,
+ int sensor_hub_get_feature(struct hid_sensor_hub_device *hsdev, u32 report_id,
u32 field_index, s32 *value);
This interface is used to get a value for a field in input report. For example
if there is a field report_interval, which is parsed by a call to
-sensor_hub_input_get_attribute_info before, then it can directly get that individual
-field value.
+sensor_hub_input_get_attribute_info before, then it can directly get that
+individual field value::
-int sensor_hub_input_attr_get_raw_value(struct hid_sensor_hub_device *hsdev,
+ int sensor_hub_input_attr_get_raw_value(struct hid_sensor_hub_device *hsdev,
u32 usage_id,
u32 attr_usage_id, u32 report_id);

HID Custom and generic Sensors
+------------------------------
+
HID Sensor specification defines two special sensor usage types. Since they
don't represent a standard sensor, it is not possible to define using Linux IIO
To allow application to utilize these sensors, here they are exported uses sysfs
attribute groups, attributes and misc device interface.

Each field is represented by a set of attributes. All fields except the "value"
are read only. The value field is a RW field.

- HID I/O Transport Drivers
- ===========================
+=========================
+HID I/O Transport Drivers
+=========================
The HID subsystem is independent of the underlying transport driver. Initially,
only USB was supported, but other specifications adopted the HID design and
report-parsing, report interpretation and the user-space API. Device specifics
and quirks are handled by all layers depending on the quirk.
+::
+
+-----------+ +-----------+ +-----------+ +-----------+
| Device #1 | | Device #i | | Device #j | | Device #k |
+-----------+ +-----------+ +-----------+ +-----------+
+----------------+ +-----------+ +------------------+ +------------------+
Example Drivers:
- I/O: USB, I2C, Bluetooth-l2cap
- Transport: USB-HID, I2C-HID, BT-HIDP
+
+ - I/O: USB, I2C, Bluetooth-l2cap
+ - Transport: USB-HID, I2C-HID, BT-HIDP
Everything below "HID Core" is simplified in this graph as it is only of
interest to HID device drivers. Transport drivers do not need to know the
-------------------
Transport drivers normally use the following procedure to register a new device
-with HID core:
+with HID core::
struct hid_device *hid;
int ret;
"custom_ll_driver". Note that fields like "country" can be ignored by underlying
transport-drivers if not supported.
-To unregister a device, use:
+To unregister a device, use::
hid_destroy_device(hid);
-----------------------------
The available HID callbacks are:
- - int (*start) (struct hid_device *hdev)
+
+ ::
+
+ int (*start) (struct hid_device *hdev)
+
Called from HID device drivers once they want to use the device. Transport
drivers can choose to setup their device in this callback. However, normally
devices are already set up before transport drivers register them to HID core
so this is mostly only used by USB-HID.
- - void (*stop) (struct hid_device *hdev)
+ ::
+
+ void (*stop) (struct hid_device *hdev)
+
Called from HID device drivers once they are done with a device. Transport
drivers can free any buffers and deinitialize the device. But note that
->start() might be called again if another HID device driver is loaded on the
device.
+
Transport drivers are free to ignore it and deinitialize devices after they
destroyed them via hid_destroy_device().
- - int (*open) (struct hid_device *hdev)
+ ::
+
+ int (*open) (struct hid_device *hdev)
+
Called from HID device drivers once they are interested in data reports.
Usually, while user-space didn't open any input API/etc., device drivers are
not interested in device data and transport drivers can put devices asleep.
However, once ->open() is called, transport drivers must be ready for I/O.
->open() calls are nested for each client that opens the HID device.
- - void (*close) (struct hid_device *hdev)
+ ::
+
+ void (*close) (struct hid_device *hdev)
+
Called from HID device drivers after ->open() was called but they are no
longer interested in device reports. (Usually if user-space closed any input
devices of the driver).
+
Transport drivers can put devices asleep and terminate any I/O of all
->open() calls have been followed by a ->close() call. However, ->start() may
be called again if the device driver is interested in input reports again.
- - int (*parse) (struct hid_device *hdev)
+ ::
+
+ int (*parse) (struct hid_device *hdev)
+
Called once during device setup after ->start() has been called. Transport
drivers must read the HID report-descriptor from the device and tell HID core
about it via hid_parse_report().
- - int (*power) (struct hid_device *hdev, int level)
+ ::
+
+ int (*power) (struct hid_device *hdev, int level)
+
Called by HID core to give PM hints to transport drivers. Usually this is
analogical to the ->open() and ->close() hints and redundant.
- - void (*request) (struct hid_device *hdev, struct hid_report *report,
- int reqtype)
+ ::
+
+ void (*request) (struct hid_device *hdev, struct hid_report *report,
+ int reqtype)
+
Send an HID request on the ctrl channel. "report" contains the report that
should be sent and "reqtype" the request type. Request-type can be
HID_REQ_SET_REPORT or HID_REQ_GET_REPORT.
+
This callback is optional. If not provided, HID core will assemble a raw
report following the HID specs and send it via the ->raw_request() callback.
The transport driver is free to implement this asynchronously.
- - int (*wait) (struct hid_device *hdev)
+ ::
+
+ int (*wait) (struct hid_device *hdev)
+
Used by HID core before calling ->request() again. A transport driver can use
it to wait for any pending requests to complete if only one request is
allowed at a time.
- - int (*raw_request) (struct hid_device *hdev, unsigned char reportnum,
- __u8 *buf, size_t count, unsigned char rtype,
- int reqtype)
+ ::
+
+ int (*raw_request) (struct hid_device *hdev, unsigned char reportnum,
+ __u8 *buf, size_t count, unsigned char rtype,
+ int reqtype)
+
Same as ->request() but provides the report as raw buffer. This request shall
be synchronous. A transport driver must not use ->wait() to complete such
requests. This request is mandatory and hid core will reject the device if
it is missing.
- - int (*output_report) (struct hid_device *hdev, __u8 *buf, size_t len)
+ ::
+
+ int (*output_report) (struct hid_device *hdev, __u8 *buf, size_t len)
+
Send raw output report via intr channel. Used by some HID device drivers
which require high throughput for outgoing requests on the intr channel. This
must not cause SET_REPORT calls! This must be implemented as asynchronous
output report on the intr channel!
- - int (*idle) (struct hid_device *hdev, int report, int idle, int reqtype)
+ ::
+
+ int (*idle) (struct hid_device *hdev, int report, int idle, int reqtype)
+
Perform SET/GET_IDLE request. Only used by USB-HID, do not implement!
2.3) Data Path
Acknowledgements to SET_REPORT requests are not of interest to HID core.

Care and feeding of your Human Interface Devices
+================================================
-INTRODUCTION
+Introduction
+============
In addition to the normal input type HID devices, USB also uses the
human interface device protocols for things that are not really human
* the hiddev interface, which provides fairly raw HID events
The data flow for a HID event produced by a device is something like
-the following :
+the following::
usb.c ---> hid-core.c ----> hid-input.c ----> [keyboard/mouse/joystick/event]
|
|
- --> hiddev.c ----> POWER / MONITOR CONTROL
+ --> hiddev.c ----> POWER / MONITOR CONTROL
In addition, other subsystems (apart from USB) can potentially feed
events into the input subsystem, but these have no effect on the hid
device interface.
-USING THE HID DEVICE INTERFACE

This is the event interface. When the HID device's state changes,
it performs an interrupt transfer containing a report which contains
the changed value. The hid-core.c module parses the report, and
returns to hiddev.c the individual usages that have changed within
the report. In its basic mode, the hiddev will make these individual

+HIDRAW - Raw Access to USB and Bluetooth Human Interface Devices
+================================================================
The hidraw driver provides a raw interface to USB and Bluetooth Human
Interface Devices (HIDs). It differs from hiddev in that reports sent and
and udev rule-dependent, applications should use libudev to locate hidraw
devices attached to the system. There is a tutorial on libudev with a
working example at:
+
http://www.signal11.us/oss/udev/
The HIDRAW API
will begin at the first byte.
write()
---------
+-------
The write() function will write a report to the device. For USB devices, if
the device has an INTERRUPT OUT endpoint, the report will be sent on that
endpoint. If it does not, the report will be sent over the control endpoint,
be set to 0. The report data itself should begin at the second byte.
ioctl()
---------
+-------
Hidraw supports the following ioctls:
-HIDIOCGRDESCSIZE: Get Report Descriptor Size
+HIDIOCGRDESCSIZE:
+ Get Report Descriptor Size
+
This ioctl will get the size of the device's report descriptor.
-HIDIOCGRDESC: Get Report Descriptor
+HIDIOCGRDESC:
+ Get Report Descriptor
+
This ioctl returns the device's report descriptor using a
hidraw_report_descriptor struct. Make sure to set the size field of the
hidraw_report_descriptor struct to the size returned from HIDIOCGRDESCSIZE.
-HIDIOCGRAWINFO: Get Raw Info
+HIDIOCGRAWINFO:
+ Get Raw Info
+
This ioctl will return a hidraw_devinfo struct containing the bus type, the
vendor ID (VID), and product ID (PID) of the device. The bus type can be one
-of:
- BUS_USB
- BUS_HIL
- BUS_BLUETOOTH
- BUS_VIRTUAL
+of::
+
+ - BUS_USB
+ - BUS_HIL
+ - BUS_BLUETOOTH
+ - BUS_VIRTUAL
+
which are defined in uapi/linux/input.h.
-HIDIOCGRAWNAME(len): Get Raw Name
+HIDIOCGRAWNAME(len):
+ Get Raw Name
+
This ioctl returns a string containing the vendor and product strings of
the device. The returned string is Unicode, UTF-8 encoded.
-HIDIOCGRAWPHYS(len): Get Physical Address
+HIDIOCGRAWPHYS(len):
+ Get Physical Address
+
This ioctl returns a string representing the physical address of the device.
For USB devices, the string contains the physical path to the device (the
USB controller, hubs, ports, etc). For Bluetooth devices, the string
contains the hardware (MAC) address of the device.
-HIDIOCSFEATURE(len): Send a Feature Report
+HIDIOCSFEATURE(len):
+ Send a Feature Report
+
This ioctl will send a feature report to the device. Per the HID
specification, feature reports are always sent using the control endpoint.
Set the first byte of the supplied buffer to the report number. For devices
begins in the second byte. Make sure to set len accordingly, to one more
than the length of the report (to account for the report number).
-HIDIOCGFEATURE(len): Get a Feature Report
+HIDIOCGFEATURE(len):
+ Get a Feature Report
+
This ioctl will request a feature report from the device using the control
endpoint. The first byte of the supplied buffer should be set to the report
number of the requested report. For devices which do not use numbered
the first byte of the buffer (ie: the report number is not returned).
Example
----------
+-------
In samples/, find hid-example.c, which shows examples of read(), write(),
and all the ioctls for hidraw. The code may be used by anyone for any
purpose, and can serve as a starting point for developing applications using
hidraw.

+Intel Integrated Sensor Hub (ISH)
+=================================
+
+A sensor hub enables the ability to offload sensor polling and algorithm
+processing to a dedicated low power co-processor. This allows the core
+processor to go into low power modes more often, resulting in the increased
+battery life.
+
+There are many vendors providing external sensor hubs confirming to HID
+Sensor usage tables, and used in several tablets, 2 in 1 convertible laptops
+and embedded products. Linux had this support since Linux 3.9.
+
+Intel® introduced integrated sensor hubs as a part of the SoC starting from
+Cherry Trail and now supported on multiple generations of CPU packages. There
+are many commercial devices already shipped with Integrated Sensor Hubs (ISH).
+These ISH also comply to HID sensor specification, but the difference is the
+transport protocol used for communication. The current external sensor hubs
+mainly use HID over i2C or USB. But ISH doesn't use either i2c or USB.
+
+1. Overview
+===========
+
+Using a analogy with a usbhid implementation, the ISH follows a similar model
+for a very high speed communication::
+
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ | USB HID | --> | ISH HID |
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ | USB protocol | --> | ISH Transport |
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ | EHCI/XHCI | --> | ISH IPC |
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ PCI PCI
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ |Host controller| --> | ISH processor |
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ USB Link
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ | USB End points| --> | ISH Clients |
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+
+Like USB protocol provides a method for device enumeration, link management
+and user data encapsulation, the ISH also provides similar services. But it is
+very light weight tailored to manage and communicate with ISH client
+applications implemented in the firmware.
+
+The ISH allows multiple sensor management applications executing in the
+firmware. Like USB endpoints the messaging can be to/from a client. As part of
+enumeration process, these clients are identified. These clients can be simple
+HID sensor applications, sensor calibration application or senor firmware
+update application.
+
+The implementation model is similar, like USB bus, ISH transport is also
+implemented as a bus. Each client application executing in the ISH processor
+is registered as a device on this bus. The driver, which binds each device
+(ISH HID driver) identifies the device type and registers with the hid core.

+3. High level processing in above blocks
+========================================
+
+3.1 Hardware Interface
+----------------------
+
+The ISH is exposed as "Non-VGA unclassified PCI device" to the host. The PCI
+product and vendor IDs are changed from different generations of processors. So
+the source code which enumerate drivers needs to update from generation to
+generation.
+
+3.2 Inter Processor Communication (IPC) driver
+----------------------------------------------
+
+Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ipc
+
+The IPC message used memory mapped I/O. The registers are defined in
+hw-ish-regs.h.
+
+3.2.1 IPC/FW message types
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+There are two types of messages, one for management of link and other messages
+are to and from transport layers.
+
+TX and RX of Transport messages
+...............................
+
+A set of memory mapped register offers support of multi byte messages TX and
+RX (E.g.IPC_REG_ISH2HOST_MSG, IPC_REG_HOST2ISH_MSG). The IPC layer maintains
+internal queues to sequence messages and send them in order to the FW.
+Optionally the caller can register handler to get notification of completion.
+A door bell mechanism is used in messaging to trigger processing in host and
+client firmware side. When ISH interrupt handler is called, the ISH2HOST
+doorbell register is used by host drivers to determine that the interrupt
+is for ISH.
+
+Each side has 32 32-bit message registers and a 32-bit doorbell. Doorbell
+register has the following format:
+Bits 0..6: fragment length (7 bits are used)
+Bits 10..13: encapsulated protocol
+Bits 16..19: management command (for IPC management protocol)
+Bit 31: doorbell trigger (signal H/W interrupt to the other side)
+Other bits are reserved, should be 0.
+
+3.2.2 Transport layer interface
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To abstract HW level IPC communication, a set of callbacks are registered.
+The transport layer uses them to send and receive messages.
+Refer to struct ishtp_hw_ops for callbacks.
+
+3.3 ISH Transport layer
+-----------------------
+
+Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ishtp/
+
+3.3.1 A Generic Transport Layer
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The transport layer is a bi-directional protocol, which defines:
+- Set of commands to start, stop, connect, disconnect and flow control
+(ishtp/hbm.h) for details
+- A flow control mechanism to avoid buffer overflows
+
+This protocol resembles bus messages described in the following document:
+http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/technical-\
+specifications/dcmi-hi-1-0-spec.pdf "Chapter 7: Bus Message Layer"
+
+3.3.2 Connection and Flow Control Mechanism
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Each FW client and a protocol is identified by an UUID. In order to communicate
+to a FW client, a connection must be established using connect request and
+response bus messages. If successful, a pair (host_client_id and fw_client_id)
+will identify the connection.
+
+Once connection is established, peers send each other flow control bus messages
+independently. Every peer may send a message only if it has received a
+flow-control credit before. Once it sent a message, it may not send another one
+before receiving the next flow control credit.
+Either side can send disconnect request bus message to end communication. Also
+the link will be dropped if major FW reset occurs.
+
+3.3.3 Peer to Peer data transfer
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Peer to Peer data transfer can happen with or without using DMA. Depending on
+the sensor bandwidth requirement DMA can be enabled by using module parameter
+ishtp_use_dma under intel_ishtp.
+
+Each side (host and FW) manages its DMA transfer memory independently. When an
+ISHTP client from either host or FW side wants to send something, it decides
+whether to send over IPC or over DMA; for each transfer the decision is
+independent. The sending side sends DMA_XFER message when the message is in
+the respective host buffer (TX when host client sends, RX when FW client
+sends). The recipient of DMA message responds with DMA_XFER_ACK, indicating
+the sender that the memory region for that message may be reused.
+
+DMA initialization is started with host sending DMA_ALLOC_NOTIFY bus message
+(that includes RX buffer) and FW responds with DMA_ALLOC_NOTIFY_ACK.
+Additionally to DMA address communication, this sequence checks capabilities:
+if thw host doesn't support DMA, then it won't send DMA allocation, so FW can't
+send DMA; if FW doesn't support DMA then it won't respond with
+DMA_ALLOC_NOTIFY_ACK, in which case host will not use DMA transfers.
+Here ISH acts as busmaster DMA controller. Hence when host sends DMA_XFER,
+it's request to do host->ISH DMA transfer; when FW sends DMA_XFER, it means
+that it already did DMA and the message resides at host. Thus, DMA_XFER
+and DMA_XFER_ACK act as ownership indicators.
+
+At initial state all outgoing memory belongs to the sender (TX to host, RX to
+FW), DMA_XFER transfers ownership on the region that contains ISHTP message to
+the receiving side, DMA_XFER_ACK returns ownership to the sender. A sender
+needs not wait for previous DMA_XFER to be ack'ed, and may send another message
+as long as remaining continuous memory in its ownership is enough.
+In principle, multiple DMA_XFER and DMA_XFER_ACK messages may be sent at once
+(up to IPC MTU), thus allowing for interrupt throttling.
+Currently, ISH FW decides to send over DMA if ISHTP message is more than 3 IPC
+fragments and via IPC otherwise.
+
+3.3.4 Ring Buffers
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+When a client initiate a connection, a ring or RX and TX buffers are allocated.
+The size of ring can be specified by the client. HID client set 16 and 32 for
+TX and RX buffers respectively. On send request from client, the data to be
+sent is copied to one of the send ring buffer and scheduled to be sent using
+bus message protocol. These buffers are required because the FW may have not
+have processed the last message and may not have enough flow control credits
+to send. Same thing holds true on receive side and flow control is required.
+
+3.3.5 Host Enumeration
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The host enumeration bus command allow discovery of clients present in the FW.
+There can be multiple sensor clients and clients for calibration function.
+
+To ease in implantation and allow independent driver handle each client
+this transport layer takes advantage of Linux Bus driver model. Each
+client is registered as device on the the transport bus (ishtp bus).
+
+Enumeration sequence of messages:
+
+- Host sends HOST_START_REQ_CMD, indicating that host ISHTP layer is up.
+- FW responds with HOST_START_RES_CMD
+- Host sends HOST_ENUM_REQ_CMD (enumerate FW clients)
+- FW responds with HOST_ENUM_RES_CMD that includes bitmap of available FW
+ client IDs
+- For each FW ID found in that bitmap host sends
+ HOST_CLIENT_PROPERTIES_REQ_CMD
+- FW responds with HOST_CLIENT_PROPERTIES_RES_CMD. Properties include UUID,
+ max ISHTP message size, etc.
+- Once host received properties for that last discovered client, it considers
+ ISHTP device fully functional (and allocates DMA buffers)
+
+3.4 HID over ISH Client
+-----------------------
+
+Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid
+
+The ISHTP client driver is responsible for:
+
+- enumerate HID devices under FW ISH client
+- Get Report descriptor
+- Register with HID core as a LL driver
+- Process Get/Set feature request
+- Get input reports
+
+3.5 HID Sensor Hub MFD and IIO sensor drivers
+---------------------------------------------
+
+The functionality in these drivers is the same as an external sensor hub.
+Refer to
+Documentation/hid/hid-sensor.rst for HID sensor

-Intel Integrated Sensor Hub (ISH)
-===============================
-
-A sensor hub enables the ability to offload sensor polling and algorithm
-processing to a dedicated low power co-processor. This allows the core
-processor to go into low power modes more often, resulting in the increased
-battery life.
-
-There are many vendors providing external sensor hubs confirming to HID
-Sensor usage tables, and used in several tablets, 2 in 1 convertible laptops
-and embedded products. Linux had this support since Linux 3.9.
-
-Intel® introduced integrated sensor hubs as a part of the SoC starting from
-Cherry Trail and now supported on multiple generations of CPU packages. There
-are many commercial devices already shipped with Integrated Sensor Hubs (ISH).
-These ISH also comply to HID sensor specification, but the difference is the
-transport protocol used for communication. The current external sensor hubs
-mainly use HID over i2C or USB. But ISH doesn't use either i2c or USB.
-
-1. Overview
-
-Using a analogy with a usbhid implementation, the ISH follows a similar model
-for a very high speed communication:
-
- ----------------- ----------------------
- | USB HID | --> | ISH HID |
- ----------------- ----------------------
- ----------------- ----------------------
- | USB protocol | --> | ISH Transport |
- ----------------- ----------------------
- ----------------- ----------------------
- | EHCI/XHCI | --> | ISH IPC |
- ----------------- ----------------------
- PCI PCI
- ----------------- ----------------------
- |Host controller| --> | ISH processor |
- ----------------- ----------------------
- USB Link
- ----------------- ----------------------
- | USB End points| --> | ISH Clients |
- ----------------- ----------------------
-
-Like USB protocol provides a method for device enumeration, link management
-and user data encapsulation, the ISH also provides similar services. But it is
-very light weight tailored to manage and communicate with ISH client
-applications implemented in the firmware.
-
-The ISH allows multiple sensor management applications executing in the
-firmware. Like USB endpoints the messaging can be to/from a client. As part of
-enumeration process, these clients are identified. These clients can be simple
-HID sensor applications, sensor calibration application or senor firmware
-update application.
-
-The implementation model is similar, like USB bus, ISH transport is also
-implemented as a bus. Each client application executing in the ISH processor
-is registered as a device on this bus. The driver, which binds each device
-(ISH HID driver) identifies the device type and registers with the hid core.

- ----------------------------
-
-3. High level processing in above blocks
-
-3.1 Hardware Interface
-
-The ISH is exposed as "Non-VGA unclassified PCI device" to the host. The PCI
-product and vendor IDs are changed from different generations of processors. So
-the source code which enumerate drivers needs to update from generation to
-generation.
-
-3.2 Inter Processor Communication (IPC) driver
-Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ipc
-
-The IPC message used memory mapped I/O. The registers are defined in
-hw-ish-regs.h.
-
-3.2.1 IPC/FW message types
-
-There are two types of messages, one for management of link and other messages
-are to and from transport layers.
-
-TX and RX of Transport messages
-
-A set of memory mapped register offers support of multi byte messages TX and
-RX (E.g.IPC_REG_ISH2HOST_MSG, IPC_REG_HOST2ISH_MSG). The IPC layer maintains
-internal queues to sequence messages and send them in order to the FW.
-Optionally the caller can register handler to get notification of completion.
-A door bell mechanism is used in messaging to trigger processing in host and
-client firmware side. When ISH interrupt handler is called, the ISH2HOST
-doorbell register is used by host drivers to determine that the interrupt
-is for ISH.
-
-Each side has 32 32-bit message registers and a 32-bit doorbell. Doorbell
-register has the following format:
-Bits 0..6: fragment length (7 bits are used)
-Bits 10..13: encapsulated protocol
-Bits 16..19: management command (for IPC management protocol)
-Bit 31: doorbell trigger (signal H/W interrupt to the other side)
-Other bits are reserved, should be 0.
-
-3.2.2 Transport layer interface
-
-To abstract HW level IPC communication, a set of callbacks are registered.
-The transport layer uses them to send and receive messages.
-Refer to struct ishtp_hw_ops for callbacks.
-
-3.3 ISH Transport layer
-Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ishtp/
-
-3.3.1 A Generic Transport Layer
-
-The transport layer is a bi-directional protocol, which defines:
-- Set of commands to start, stop, connect, disconnect and flow control
-(ishtp/hbm.h) for details
-- A flow control mechanism to avoid buffer overflows
-
-This protocol resembles bus messages described in the following document:
-http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/technical-\
-specifications/dcmi-hi-1-0-spec.pdf "Chapter 7: Bus Message Layer"
-
-3.3.2 Connection and Flow Control Mechanism
-
-Each FW client and a protocol is identified by an UUID. In order to communicate
-to a FW client, a connection must be established using connect request and
-response bus messages. If successful, a pair (host_client_id and fw_client_id)
-will identify the connection.
-
-Once connection is established, peers send each other flow control bus messages
-independently. Every peer may send a message only if it has received a
-flow-control credit before. Once it sent a message, it may not send another one
-before receiving the next flow control credit.
-Either side can send disconnect request bus message to end communication. Also
-the link will be dropped if major FW reset occurs.
-
-3.3.3 Peer to Peer data transfer
-
-Peer to Peer data transfer can happen with or without using DMA. Depending on
-the sensor bandwidth requirement DMA can be enabled by using module parameter
-ishtp_use_dma under intel_ishtp.
-
-Each side (host and FW) manages its DMA transfer memory independently. When an
-ISHTP client from either host or FW side wants to send something, it decides
-whether to send over IPC or over DMA; for each transfer the decision is
-independent. The sending side sends DMA_XFER message when the message is in
-the respective host buffer (TX when host client sends, RX when FW client
-sends). The recipient of DMA message responds with DMA_XFER_ACK, indicating
-the sender that the memory region for that message may be reused.
-
-DMA initialization is started with host sending DMA_ALLOC_NOTIFY bus message
-(that includes RX buffer) and FW responds with DMA_ALLOC_NOTIFY_ACK.
-Additionally to DMA address communication, this sequence checks capabilities:
-if thw host doesn't support DMA, then it won't send DMA allocation, so FW can't
-send DMA; if FW doesn't support DMA then it won't respond with
-DMA_ALLOC_NOTIFY_ACK, in which case host will not use DMA transfers.
-Here ISH acts as busmaster DMA controller. Hence when host sends DMA_XFER,
-it's request to do host->ISH DMA transfer; when FW sends DMA_XFER, it means
-that it already did DMA and the message resides at host. Thus, DMA_XFER
-and DMA_XFER_ACK act as ownership indicators.
-
-At initial state all outgoing memory belongs to the sender (TX to host, RX to
-FW), DMA_XFER transfers ownership on the region that contains ISHTP message to
-the receiving side, DMA_XFER_ACK returns ownership to the sender. A sender
-needs not wait for previous DMA_XFER to be ack'ed, and may send another message
-as long as remaining continuous memory in its ownership is enough.
-In principle, multiple DMA_XFER and DMA_XFER_ACK messages may be sent at once
-(up to IPC MTU), thus allowing for interrupt throttling.
-Currently, ISH FW decides to send over DMA if ISHTP message is more than 3 IPC
-fragments and via IPC otherwise.
-
-3.3.4 Ring Buffers
-
-When a client initiate a connection, a ring or RX and TX buffers are allocated.
-The size of ring can be specified by the client. HID client set 16 and 32 for
-TX and RX buffers respectively. On send request from client, the data to be
-sent is copied to one of the send ring buffer and scheduled to be sent using
-bus message protocol. These buffers are required because the FW may have not
-have processed the last message and may not have enough flow control credits
-to send. Same thing holds true on receive side and flow control is required.
-
-3.3.5 Host Enumeration
-
-The host enumeration bus command allow discovery of clients present in the FW.
-There can be multiple sensor clients and clients for calibration function.
-
-To ease in implantation and allow independent driver handle each client
-this transport layer takes advantage of Linux Bus driver model. Each
-client is registered as device on the the transport bus (ishtp bus).
-
-Enumeration sequence of messages:
-- Host sends HOST_START_REQ_CMD, indicating that host ISHTP layer is up.
-- FW responds with HOST_START_RES_CMD
-- Host sends HOST_ENUM_REQ_CMD (enumerate FW clients)
-- FW responds with HOST_ENUM_RES_CMD that includes bitmap of available FW
-client IDs
-- For each FW ID found in that bitmap host sends
-HOST_CLIENT_PROPERTIES_REQ_CMD
-- FW responds with HOST_CLIENT_PROPERTIES_RES_CMD. Properties include UUID,
-max ISHTP message size, etc.
-- Once host received properties for that last discovered client, it considers
-ISHTP device fully functional (and allocates DMA buffers)
-
-3.4 HID over ISH Client
-Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid
-
-The ISHTP client driver is responsible for:
-- enumerate HID devices under FW ISH client
-- Get Report descriptor
-- Register with HID core as a LL driver
-- Process Get/Set feature request
-- Get input reports
-
-3.5 HID Sensor Hub MFD and IIO sensor drivers
-
-The functionality in these drivers is the same as an external sensor hub.
-Refer to
-Documentation/hid/hid-sensor.txt for HID sensor
-Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio for IIO ABIs to user space

- UHID - User-space I/O driver support for HID subsystem
- ========================================================
+======================================================
+UHID - User-space I/O driver support for HID subsystem
+======================================================
UHID allows user-space to implement HID transport drivers. Please see
hid-transport.txt for an introduction into HID transport drivers. This document
device with the HID subsystem, then you need to open /dev/uhid once for each
device you want to register. All further communication is done by read()'ing or
write()'ing "struct uhid_event" objects. Non-blocking operations are supported
-by setting O_NONBLOCK.
+by setting O_NONBLOCK::
-struct uhid_event {
+ struct uhid_event {
__u32 type;
union {
struct uhid_create2_req create2;
struct uhid_input2_req input2;
...
} u;
-};
+ };
The "type" field contains the ID of the event. Depending on the ID different
payloads are sent. You must not split a single event across multiple read()'s or
writes are always handled immediately in a non-blocking fashion. Future requests
might make use of O_NONBLOCK, though.
- UHID_CREATE2:
+UHID_CREATE2:
This creates the internal HID device. No I/O is possible until you send this
event to the kernel. The payload is of type struct uhid_create2_req and
contains information about your device. You can start I/O now.
- UHID_DESTROY:
+UHID_DESTROY:
This destroys the internal HID device. No further I/O will be accepted. There
may still be pending messages that you can receive with read() but no further
UHID_INPUT events can be sent to the kernel.
You can create a new device by sending UHID_CREATE2 again. There is no need to
reopen the character device.
- UHID_INPUT2:
+UHID_INPUT2:
You must send UHID_CREATE2 before sending input to the kernel! This event
contains a data-payload. This is the raw data that you read from your device
on the interrupt channel. The kernel will parse the HID reports.
- UHID_GET_REPORT_REPLY:
+UHID_GET_REPORT_REPLY:
If you receive a UHID_GET_REPORT request you must answer with this request.
You must copy the "id" field from the request into the answer. Set the "err"
field to 0 if no error occurred or to EIO if an I/O error occurred.
If "err" is 0 then you should fill the buffer of the answer with the results
of the GET_REPORT request and set "size" correspondingly.
- UHID_SET_REPORT_REPLY:
+UHID_SET_REPORT_REPLY:
This is the SET_REPORT equivalent of UHID_GET_REPORT_REPLY. Unlike GET_REPORT,
SET_REPORT never returns a data buffer, therefore, it's sufficient to set the
"id" and "err" fields correctly.
read() will return a queued output report. No reaction is required to any of
them but you should handle them according to your needs.
- UHID_START:
+UHID_START:
This is sent when the HID device is started. Consider this as an answer to
UHID_CREATE2. This is always the first event that is sent. Note that this
event might not be available immediately after write(UHID_CREATE2) returns.
Device drivers might required delayed setups.
This event contains a payload of type uhid_start_req. The "dev_flags" field
describes special behaviors of a device. The following flags are defined:
- UHID_DEV_NUMBERED_FEATURE_REPORTS:
- UHID_DEV_NUMBERED_OUTPUT_REPORTS:
- UHID_DEV_NUMBERED_INPUT_REPORTS:
+
+ - UHID_DEV_NUMBERED_FEATURE_REPORTS
+ - UHID_DEV_NUMBERED_OUTPUT_REPORTS
+ - UHID_DEV_NUMBERED_INPUT_REPORTS
+
Each of these flags defines whether a given report-type uses numbered
reports. If numbered reports are used for a type, all messages from
the kernel already have the report-number as prefix. Otherwise, no
For messages sent by user-space to the kernel, you must adjust the
prefixes according to these flags.
- UHID_STOP:
+UHID_STOP:
This is sent when the HID device is stopped. Consider this as an answer to
UHID_DESTROY.
+
If you didn't destroy your device via UHID_DESTROY, but the kernel sends an
UHID_STOP event, this should usually be ignored. It means that the kernel
reloaded/changed the device driver loaded on your HID device (or some other
maintenance actions happened).
+
You can usually ignored any UHID_STOP events safely.
- UHID_OPEN:
+UHID_OPEN:
This is sent when the HID device is opened. That is, the data that the HID
device provides is read by some other process. You may ignore this event but
it is useful for power-management. As long as you haven't received this event
there is actually no other process that reads your data so there is no need to
send UHID_INPUT2 events to the kernel.
- UHID_CLOSE:
+UHID_CLOSE:
This is sent when there are no more processes which read the HID data. It is
the counterpart of UHID_OPEN and you may as well ignore this event.
- UHID_OUTPUT:
+UHID_OUTPUT:
This is sent if the HID device driver wants to send raw data to the I/O
device on the interrupt channel. You should read the payload and forward it to
the device. The payload is of type "struct uhid_output_req".
This may be received even though you haven't received UHID_OPEN, yet.
- UHID_GET_REPORT:
+UHID_GET_REPORT:
This event is sent if the kernel driver wants to perform a GET_REPORT request
on the control channeld as described in the HID specs. The report-type and
report-number are available in the payload.
timed out, the kernel will ignore the response silently. The "id" field is
never re-used, so conflicts cannot happen.
- UHID_SET_REPORT:
+UHID_SET_REPORT:
This is the SET_REPORT equivalent of UHID_GET_REPORT. On receipt, you shall
send a SET_REPORT request to your hid device. Once it replies, you must tell
the kernel about it via UHID_SET_REPORT_REPLY.
The same restrictions as for UHID_GET_REPORT apply.

The monitor and speaker controls should be easy to add to the hid/input
interface, but for the UPSs and LCDs it doesn't make much sense. For this,
