Kernel driver gpio-i2cmux Author: Peter Korsgaard <peter.korsgaard@barco.com> Description ----------- gpio-i2cmux is an i2c mux driver providing access to I2C bus segments from a master I2C bus and a hardware MUX controlled through GPIO pins. E.G.: ---------- ---------- Bus segment 1 - - - - - | | SCL/SDA | |-------------- | | | |------------| | | | | | Bus segment 2 | | | Linux | GPIO 1..N | MUX |--------------- Devices | |------------| | | | | | | | Bus segment M | | | |---------------| | ---------- ---------- - - - - - SCL/SDA of the master I2C bus is multiplexed to bus segment 1..M according to the settings of the GPIO pins 1..N. Usage ----- gpio-i2cmux uses the platform bus, so you need to provide a struct platform_device with the platform_data pointing to a struct gpio_i2cmux_platform_data with the I2C adapter number of the master bus, the number of bus segments to create and the GPIO pins used to control it. See include/linux/gpio-i2cmux.h for details. E.G. something like this for a MUX providing 4 bus segments controlled through 3 GPIO pins: #include <linux/gpio-i2cmux.h> #include <linux/platform_device.h> static const unsigned myboard_gpiomux_gpios[] = { AT91_PIN_PC26, AT91_PIN_PC25, AT91_PIN_PC24 }; static const unsigned myboard_gpiomux_values[] = { 0, 1, 2, 3 }; static struct gpio_i2cmux_platform_data myboard_i2cmux_data = { .parent = 1, .base_nr = 2, /* optional */ .values = myboard_gpiomux_values, .n_values = ARRAY_SIZE(myboard_gpiomux_values), .gpios = myboard_gpiomux_gpios, .n_gpios = ARRAY_SIZE(myboard_gpiomux_gpios), .idle = 4, /* optional */ }; static struct platform_device myboard_i2cmux = { .name = "gpio-i2cmux", .id = 0, .dev = { .platform_data = &myboard_i2cmux_data, }, };
