This patch adds I2C emulation in software through raw toggling of the SDA/SCL lines. Platforms need to provide bindings to toggle their respective I2C busses for this to work (e.g. by pinmuxing them as GPIOs, currently only enabled for Tegra). This is mostly useful as a debugging feature, to drive unusual states on a bus and closely monitor the device output without the need of a bus analyzer. It provides a few functions to "wedge" an I2C bus by aborting a transaction at certain points, which can be used to test if a system can correctly recover from an ill-timed reboot. However, it can also dynamically replace the existing I2C transfer functions and drive some/all I2C transfers on the system, which might be useful if a driver for the actual I2C controller hardware is not (yet) available. Based on original code by Doug Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> and Hung-ying Tyan <tyanh@chromium.org> for the ChromeOS embedded controller project. BRANCH=None BUG=chrome-os-partner:28323 TEST=Spread tegra_software_i2c_init()/tegra_software_i2c_disable() through the code and see that everything still works.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- coreboot README ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a payload. With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required. coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS. Payloads -------- After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by coreboot. See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads. Supported Hardware ------------------ coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards. For details please consult: * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices Build Requirements ------------------ * gcc / g++ * make Optional: * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation) * iasl (for targets with ACPI support) * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets) * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig') * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers) Building coreboot ----------------- Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details. Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware ------------------------------------------------ If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run coreboot virtually in QEMU. Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details. Website and Mailing List ------------------------ Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website: http://www.coreboot.org You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list: http://www.coreboot.org/Mailinglist Copyright and License --------------------- The copyright on coreboot is owned by quite a large number of individual developers and companies.
