Subject: [PATCH v10 2/8] fpga manager: add sysfs interface document
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2015 12:37:26 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1439487452-23977-4-git-send-email-atull@opensource.altera.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1439487452-23977-1-git-send-email-atull@opensource.altera.com>

From: Alan Tull <atull@opensource.altera.com>

Add documentation under drivers/staging for new fpga manager's
sysfs interface.

Signed-off-by: Alan Tull <atull@opensource.altera.com>
---
v5  : (actually second version, but keeping version numbers
      aligned with rest of patch series)
      Move document to drivers/staging/fpga/Documentation/ABI

v6  : No change in this patch for v6 of the patch set
v7  : No change in this patch for v7 of the patch set
v8  : No change in this patch for v8 of the patch set

v9  : Remove 'firmware' and 'reset' files
      Update state strings

v10 : Clarifications about state attribute
      Move to Documentation/ABI/testing/

+Description:	Name of low level fpga manager driver.
+
+What:		/sys/class/fpga_manager/<fpga>/state
+Date:		August 2015
+KernelVersion:	4.3
+Contact:	Alan Tull <atull@opensource.altera.com>
+Description:	Read fpga manager state as a string.
+		The intent is to provide enough detail that if something goes
+		wrong during FPGA programming (something that the driver can't
+		fix) then userspace can know, i.e. if the firmware request
+		fails, that could be due to not being able to find the firmware
+		file.
+
+		This is a superset of FPGA states and fpga manager driver
+		states.  The fpga manager driver is walking through these steps
+		to get the FPGA into a known operating state.  It's a sequence,
+		though some steps may get skipped.  Valid FPGA states will vary
+		by manufacturer; this is a superset.
+
+		* unknown		= can't determine state
+		* power off		= FPGA power is off
+		* power up		= FPGA reports power is up
+		* reset			= FPGA held in reset state
+		* firmware request	= firmware class request in progress
+		* firmware request error = firmware request failed
+		* write init		= preparing FPGA for programming
+		* write init error	= Error while preparing FPGA for
+					  programming
+		* write			= FPGA ready to receive image data
+		* write error		= Error while programming
+		* write complete	= Doing post programming steps
+		* write complete error	= Error while doing post programming
+		* operating		= FPGA is programmed and operating
