1What: /sys/devices/socX 2Date: January 2012 3contact: Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org> 4Description: 5 The /sys/devices/ directory contains a sub-directory for each 6 System-on-Chip (SoC) device on a running platform. Information 7 regarding each SoC can be obtained by reading sysfs files. This 8 functionality is only available if implemented by the platform. 9 10 The directory created for each SoC will also house information 11 about devices which are commonly contained in /sys/devices/platform. 12 It has been agreed that if an SoC device exists, its supported 13 devices would be better suited to appear as children of that SoC. 14 15What: /sys/devices/socX/machine 16Date: January 2012 17contact: Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org> 18Description: 19 Read-only attribute common to all SoCs. Contains the SoC machine 20 name (e.g. Ux500). 21 22What: /sys/devices/socX/family 23Date: January 2012 24contact: Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org> 25Description: 26 Read-only attribute common to all SoCs. Contains SoC family name 27 (e.g. DB8500). 28 29What: /sys/devices/socX/soc_id 30Date: January 2012 31contact: Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org> 32Description: 33 Read-only attribute supported by most SoCs. In the case of 34 ST-Ericsson's chips this contains the SoC serial number. 35 36What: /sys/devices/socX/revision 37Date: January 2012 38contact: Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org> 39Description: 40 Read-only attribute supported by most SoCs. Contains the SoC's 41 manufacturing revision number. 42 43What: /sys/devices/socX/process 44Date: January 2012 45contact: Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org> 46Description: 47 Read-only attribute supported ST-Ericsson's silicon. Contains the 48 the process by which the silicon chip was manufactured. 49 50What: /sys/bus/soc 51Date: January 2012 52contact: Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org> 53Description: 54 The /sys/bus/soc/ directory contains the usual sub-folders 55 expected under most buses. /sys/bus/soc/devices is of particular 56 interest, as it contains a symlink for each SoC device found on 57 the system. Each symlink points back into the aforementioned 58 /sys/devices/socX devices. 59
