The `reset` gpio is currently being consumed by the btusb kernel driver. The functionality was added in https://crrev.com/c/3342774. The goal of the patch was to reset the BT device when command timeouts occur. This works, but it doesn't support the case where the BT device is having problems with USB enumeration. In that case the device can't enumerate so the driver can't help resetting the device. If we instead switch to using an ACPI power resource, the kernel can control the BT device's power. This is beneficial when the device is having USB communication problems since the kernel will try and power cycle the device. We don't lose the ability to reset the device on command timeouts either since `btusb_qca_cmd_timeout` will enqueue a USB port reset if there is no `reset` GPIO. So win / win. This results in the following power resource: PowerResource (PR02, 0x00, 0x0000) { Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized) // _STA: Status { Return (0x01) } Method (_ON, 0, Serialized) // _ON_: Power On { \_SB.CTXS (0x84) Sleep (0x01F4) } Method (_OFF, 0, Serialized) // _OFF: Power Off { \_SB.STXS (0x84) Sleep (0x0A) } } I switched the device tree entry from using reset_gpio to enable_gpio because the acpi_device_add_power_res method asserts the reset in the _ON method unconditionally. This results in a small glitch on the line. By using the enable_gpio we get the correct behavior. I don't have a datasheet right now, so I just picked some values for the reset timing. The kernel driver was using 200ms. We can revisit the numbers when we get a datasheet. BUG=b:218295688 TEST=Suspend stress test on nipperkin with 600+ cycles. Verify power resource is created on the kernel. This should allow the kernel to power cycle the device via usb_acpi_set_power_state.

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 https://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:
Build Requirements
- make
- gcc / g++
Because Linux distribution compilers tend to use lots of patches. coreboot
does lots of "unusual" things in its build system, some of which break due
to those patches, sometimes by gcc aborting, sometimes - and that's worse -
by generating broken object code.
Two options: use our toolchain (eg. make crosstools-i386) or enable the
ANY_TOOLCHAIN
Kconfig option if you're feeling lucky (no support in this case). - iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
- pkg-config
- libssl-dev (openssl)
Optional:
- doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
- gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
- ncurses (for
make menuconfig
andmake nconfig
) - flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)
Building coreboot
Please consult https://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 https://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.
