Matt Redfearn2aefbef2016-10-19 13:05:47 +01004Description: Remote processor firmware
5
6 Reports the name of the firmware currently loaded to the
7 remote processor.
8
9 To change the running firmware, ensure the remote processor is
10 stopped (using /sys/class/remoteproc/.../state) and write a new filename.

Matt Redfearn2aefbef2016-10-19 13:05:47 +010015Description: Remote processor state
16
17 Reports the state of the remote processor, which will be one of:
18
Mauro Carvalho Chehab54a19b42020-10-30 08:40:50 +010019 - "offline"
20 - "suspended"
21 - "running"
22 - "crashed"
23 - "invalid"
Matt Redfearn2aefbef2016-10-19 13:05:47 +010024
25 "offline" means the remote processor is powered off.
26
27 "suspended" means that the remote processor is suspended and
28 must be woken to receive messages.
29
30 "running" is the normal state of an available remote processor
31
32 "crashed" indicates that a problem/crash has been detected on
33 the remote processor.
34
35 "invalid" is returned if the remote processor is in an
36 unknown state.
37
38 Writing this file controls the state of the remote processor.
39 The following states can be written:
40
Mauro Carvalho Chehab54a19b42020-10-30 08:40:50 +010041 - "start"
42 - "stop"
Matt Redfearn2aefbef2016-10-19 13:05:47 +010043
44 Writing "start" will attempt to start the processor running the
45 firmware indicated by, or written to,
46 /sys/class/remoteproc/.../firmware. The remote processor should
47 transition to "running" state.
48
49 Writing "stop" will attempt to halt the remote processor and
50 return it to the "offline" state.

56Description: Remote processor name
57
58 Reports the name of the remote processor. This can be used by
59 userspace in exactly identifying a remote processor and ease
60 up the usage in modifying the 'firmware' or 'state' files.

65Description: Remote processor coredump configuration
66
67 Reports the coredump configuration of the remote processor,
68 which will be one of:
69
70 "disabled"
71 "enabled"
72 "inline"
73
74 "disabled" means no dump will be collected.
75
76 "enabled" means when the remote processor's coredump is
77 collected it will be copied to a separate buffer and that
78 buffer is exposed to userspace.
79
80 "inline" means when the remote processor's coredump is
81 collected userspace will directly read from the remote
82 processor's device memory. Extra buffer will not be used to
83 copy the dump. Also recovery process will not proceed until
84 all data is read by usersapce.

89Description: Remote processor recovery mechanism
90
91 Reports the recovery mechanism of the remote processor,
92 which will be one of:
93
94 "enabled"
95 "disabled"
96
97 "enabled" means, the remote processor will be automatically
98 recovered whenever it crashes. Moreover, if the remote
99 processor crashes while recovery is disabled, it will
100 be automatically recovered too as soon as recovery is enabled.
101
102 "disabled" means, a remote processor will remain in a crashed
103 state if it crashes. This is useful for debugging purposes;
104 without it, debugging a crash is substantially harder.
