[PATCH] Heartbeat LED for iBook

[PATCH] Heartbeat LED for iBook

[Joerg Dorchain]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3119 bytes --]

Hi all,

after looking at the ide driver (see previous post) and with references
to my good old A4000, I felt inspired to do this little hack.

It is in works-for-me state (iBook G4), but as the actual code is
shamelessly taken from the ide driver, I suppose it to work on all the
machines where the IDE driver can blink the led.

You can use it together with the ide blinking option, although the
heartbeat will look bumpy when the hd is active (don't worry, no heart
attack ;-)

There is further optimization possible on the ppc_md.heartbeat_count
and the cnt variables.

Oh, this patch is against vanilla 2.6.10.

Bye,

Joerg

Hello!

Well, wouldn't it make much more sense to write a
/dev/frontled to access it via userspace? 

Then one could enable much more features like
- xmms plugins
- num-lock led
- network-traffic
- morse-codes
- glowing when typing
- ...

One can always control the led by sending PMU command directly
via /dev/adb :) Ok, that sort-of sucks, especially since the command is
only supported by some versions of the PMU. On the other hand, I dislike
cluttering /dev ... maybe I can find some better mecanism via sysfs...

Well, if /dev would fit best, imho, as it represents a device.
And I don't think 'not having enough major/minor numbers' is an argument
not to implement something. We have udev (and before devfs), which 
should clear the old problem.

Btw, howto control it via /dev/adb? Can you point me to a document
which explains that?

Imho it would be a nice feature, for testing and for fun.

If someone gives me some pointers on howto do that, I would try to
write a driver/interface to it.

Write a byte 0x06 followed by the PMU packet (all in one write());
read back the PMU reply (all in one read()).

What exactly does 0x06 mean? Flash led? Isn't there some kind of
"bright-led" "5V,12V,24V" settings available? I mean I want to be able
to change the brightness.

And what is the PMU packet? One Byte, two byte, value 0x2342?

Please point me to a FM about adb.

6 just means "send to PMU".  It is a Linux thing, nothing to do
with the PMU itself.

You can't change brightness on a LED.  You can however make it blink,
say, a few hundred times per second, and change the duty-cycle.

> And what is the PMU packet? One Byte, two byte, value 0x2342?

Dunno what the exact command for this is.

What is a FM?  And it has nothing to do with ADB.

thought something like that.

Ok, that's what I meant.

Well, it's the last part of RTFM, so I was asking
for the "fine manual", the documentation to ADB/PMU. So I can
lookup the commands I need for setting the led on/off.

There is no manual.  You can look at some Darwin source code,
I guess, or there is some code in Linux to do this as well, IIRC.

There is some minimal documentation available. Some Apple docs:

ADB-The Untold Story: Space Aliens Ate My Mouse
http://developer.apple.com/technotes/hw/hw_01.html

Inside Macintosh: Devices / Chapter 5 - ADB Manager
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/mac/Devices/Devices-203.html

These will tell you the basic design of ADB as well as the packet
formats and information about keyboards and mice.

Note that these document ADB in a generic sense, so nothing PMU
specific is in them. Apple has been very reluctant to document
the PMU and it's functions.

ADB has nothing to do with the PMU (well, the PMU emulates an ADB
device, sort of).

The Linux kernel multiplexes the /dev/adb device to also serve as
a channel to the PMU, though.  This ugliness should be fixed, some
day...

The original PMU chip (in the Macintosh Portable) was used for
several purposes, including being the ADB transceiver. Most of
the revisions of the PMU that have shipped have still driven a
real ADB chain, although that has changed in more recent models.

The /dev/adb mess is a reflection of the mess that is the current
ADB subsystem in the kernel. You can write code in the kernel
that uses adb_request() to send non-adb PMU commands, and it
works due to the way it all works underneath. I was going to work
on it, but I got sidetracked with other issues that made it hard
to debug the various ADB drivers. If noone else gets to it, I
will eventually. I'm just not sure when I will have time.

Well, only some hardware supports something that can be used as a HB
LED, so IMHO yet another (misc-) device node is not completely
justified.

Then again, the current implemenation was more or less directly copied
from arch/m68k and the pmac IDE driver, my only "own" contribution was
taking the different HZ value into account, and this only in the
simplest possible way.

The original idea behing the m68k HB was to see wether the machine has
crashed so far that even interrupts weren't working any more, which is
sometime very hard to distiguish from very high load (>20). Obiously,
this is best done in kernel space. The load-dependeant blinking
frequency just made it perfect for its original purpose ;-)

I still consider it more a development aid than a real user feature.

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 442 bytes --]

Hello everybody!

Thank you everybody for the help.

I found the correct bytes in the beginning of this thread and wrote
ibook-led (should work with powerbooks, too).

The program works as following:

ei nico # ./ibook-led  
ibook-led <0,1,2> <delay>
   0: switch led off
   1: switch led on
   2: switch led on for <delay> useconds


The source code can be found on http://linux.schottelius.org/hacks/.

Sincerly,

Nico
