General
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
The PN544 is an integrated transmission module for contactless
|
|
communication. The driver goes under drives/nfc/ and is compiled as a
|
|
module named "pn544". It registers a misc device and creates a device
|
|
file named "/dev/pn544".
|
|
|
|
Host Interfaces: I2C, SPI and HSU, this driver supports currently only I2C.
|
|
|
|
The Interface
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The driver offers a sysfs interface for a hardware test and an IOCTL
|
|
interface for selecting between two operating modes. There are read,
|
|
write and poll functions for transferring messages. The two operating
|
|
modes are the normal (HCI) mode and the firmware update mode.
|
|
|
|
PN544 is controlled by sending messages from the userspace to the
|
|
chip. The main function of the driver is just to pass those messages
|
|
without caring about the message content.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Protocols
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
In the normal (HCI) mode and in the firmware update mode read and
|
|
write functions behave a bit differently because the message formats
|
|
or the protocols are different.
|
|
|
|
In the normal (HCI) mode the protocol used is derived from the ETSI
|
|
HCI specification. The firmware is updated using a specific protocol,
|
|
which is different from HCI.
|
|
|
|
HCI messages consist of an eight bit header and the message body. The
|
|
header contains the message length. Maximum size for an HCI message is
|
|
33. In HCI mode sent messages are tested for a correct
|
|
checksum. Firmware update messages have the length in the second (MSB)
|
|
and third (LSB) bytes of the message. The maximum FW message length is
|
|
1024 bytes.
|
|
|
|

|
The Hardware Test
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
The idea of the test is that it can performed by reading from the
|
|
corresponding sysfs file. The test is implemented in the board file
|
|
and it should test that PN544 can be put into the firmware update
|
|
mode. If the test is not implemented the sysfs file does not get
|
|
created.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
> cat /sys/module/pn544/drivers/i2c\:pn544/3-002b/nfc_test

Normal Operation
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
PN544 is powered up when the device file is opened, otherwise it's
|
|
turned off. Only one instance can use the device at a time.
|
|
|
|
Userspace applications control PN544 with HCI messages. The hardware
|
|
sends an interrupt when data is available for reading. Data is
|
|
physically read when the read function is called by a userspace
|
|
application. Poll() checks the read interrupt state. Configuration and
|
|
self testing are also done from the userspace using read and write.
|
|
|
|
Example platform data:
|
|
|
|
static int rx71_pn544_nfc_request_resources(struct i2c_client *client)
|
|
{
|
|
/* Get and setup the HW resources for the device */
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
static void rx71_pn544_nfc_free_resources(void)
|
|
{
|
|
/* Release the HW resources */
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
static void rx71_pn544_nfc_enable(int fw)
|
|
{
|
|
/* Turn the device on */
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
static int rx71_pn544_nfc_test(void)
|
|
{
|
|
/*
|
|
* Put the device into the FW update mode
|
|
* and then back to the normal mode.
|
|
* Check the behavior and return one on success,
|
|
* zero on failure.
|
|
*/
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
static void rx71_pn544_nfc_disable(void)
|
|
{
|
|
/* turn the power off */
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
static struct pn544_nfc_platform_data rx71_nfc_data = {
|
|
.request_resources = rx71_pn544_nfc_request_resources,
|
|
