30.Dt SMB 4
31.Os
32.Sh NAME
33.Nm smb
34.Nd SMB generic I/O device driver
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.Cd "device smb"
37.Sh DESCRIPTION
38The
39.Em smb
40character device driver provides generic I/O to any
41.Xr smbus 4
42instance.
43To control SMB devices, use
44.Pa /dev/smb?
45with the ioctls described below.
46Any of these ioctl commands takes a pointer to
47.Vt struct smbcmd
48as its argument.
49.Bd -literal
50#include <sys/types.h>
51
52struct smbcmd {
53	u_char cmd;
54	u_char reserved;
55	u_short op;
56	union {
57		char    byte;
58		char    buf[2];
59		short   word;
60	} wdata;
61	union {
62		char    byte;
63		char    buf[2];
64		short   word;
65	} rdata;
66	int  slave;
67	char *wbuf;     /* use wdata if NULL */
68	int  wcount;
69	char *rbuf;     /* use rdata if NULL */
70	int  rcount;
71};
72.Ed
73.Pp
74The
75.Fa slave
76field is always used, and provides the address of the
77SMBus slave device.
78The slave address is specified in the seven most significant bits
79.Pq i.e., Dq "left-justified" .
80The least significant bit of the slave address must be zero.

83.It Em Ioctl Ta Em Description
84.Pp
85.It Dv SMB_QUICK_WRITE Ta
86.Em QuickWrite
87does not transfer any data.
88It just issues the device address with write intent to the bus.
89.It Dv SMB_QUICK_READ Ta
90.Em QuickRead
91does not transfer any data.
92It just issues the device address with read intent to the bus.
93.It Dv SMB_SENDB Ta
94.Em SendByte
95sends the byte provided in
96.Fa cmd
97to the device.
98.It Dv SMB_RECVB Ta
99.Em ReceiveByte
100reads a single byte from the device which is returned in
101.Fa cmd .
102.It Dv SMB_WRITEB Ta
103.Em WriteByte
104first sends the byte from
105.Fa cmd
106to the device, followed by the byte given in
107.Fa wdata.byte .
108.It Dv SMB_WRITEW Ta
109.Em WriteWord
110first sends the byte from
111.Fa cmd
112to the device, followed by the word given in
113.Fa wdata.word .
114Note that the SMBus byte-order is little-endian by definition.
115.It Dv SMB_READB Ta
116.Em ReadByte
117first sends the byte from
118.Fa cmd
119to the device, then reads one byte of data from
120the device.
121Returned data is stored in
122.Fa rdata.byte .
123.It Dv SMB_READW Ta
124.Em ReadWord
125first sends the byte from
126.Fa cmd
127to the device, then reads one word of data from
128the device.
129Returned data is stored in
130.Fa rdata.word .
131.It Dv SMB_PCALL Ta
132.Em ProcedureCall
133first sends the byte from
134.Fa cmd
135to the device, followed by the word provided in
136.Fa wdata.word .
137It then reads one word of data from the device and returns it
138in
139.Fa rdata.word .
140.It Dv SMB_BWRITE Ta
141.Em BlockWrite
142first sends the byte from
143.Fa cmd
144to the device, then the byte from
145.Fa wcount
146followed by
147.Fa wcount
148bytes of data that are taken from the buffer pointed to by
149.Fa wbuf .
150The SMBus specification mandates that no more than 32 bytes of
151data can be transferred in a single block read or write command.
152This value can be read from the constant
153.Dv SMB_MAXBLOCKSIZE .
154.It Dv SMB_BREAD Ta
155.Em BlockRead
156first sends the byte from
157.Fa cmd
158to the device, then reads a count of data bytes that the device
159is going to provide and then reads that many bytes.
160The count is returned in
161.Fa rcount .
162The data is returned in the buffer pointed to by
163.Fa rbuf .
164.El
165.Pp
166The
167.Xr read 2
168and
169.Xr write 2
170system calls are not implemented by this driver.
171.Sh ERRORS
172The
173.Xr ioctl 2
174commands can cause the following driver-specific errors:
175.Bl -tag -width Er
176.It Bq Er ENXIO
177Device did not respond to selection.
178.It Bq Er EBUSY
179Device still in use.
180.It Bq Er ENODEV
181Operation not supported by device (not supposed to happen).
182.It Bq Er EINVAL
183General argument error.
184.It Bq Er EWOULDBLOCK
185SMBus transaction timed out.
