.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm smb
.Nd SMB generic I/O device driver
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "device smb"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Em smb
character device driver provides generic I/O to any
.Xr smbus 4
instance.
To control SMB devices, use
.Pa /dev/smb?
with the ioctls described below.
Any of these ioctl commands takes a pointer to
.Vt struct smbcmd
as its argument.
.Bd -literal
#include <sys/types.h>

struct smbcmd {
	u_char cmd;
	u_char reserved;
	u_short op;
	union {
		char    byte;
		char    buf[2];
		short   word;
	} wdata;
	union {
		char    byte;
		char    buf[2];
		short   word;
	} rdata;
	int  slave;
	char *wbuf;     /* use wdata if NULL */
	int  wcount;
	char *rbuf;     /* use rdata if NULL */
	int  rcount;
};
.Ed
.Pp
The
.Fa slave
field is always used, and provides the address of the
SMBus slave device.
The slave address is specified in the seven most significant bits
.Pq i.e., Dq "left-justified" .
The least significant bit of the slave address must be zero.
.Pp
.Bl -column ".Dv SMB_QUICK_WRITE" -compact
.It Em Ioctl Ta Em Description
.Pp
.It Dv SMB_QUICK_WRITE Ta
.Em QuickWrite
does not transfer any data.
It just issues the device address with write intent to the bus.
.It Dv SMB_QUICK_READ Ta
.Em QuickRead
does not transfer any data.
It just issues the device address with read intent to the bus.
.It Dv SMB_SENDB Ta
.Em SendByte
sends the byte provided in
.Fa cmd
to the device.
.It Dv SMB_RECVB Ta
.Em ReceiveByte
reads a single byte from the device which is returned in
.Fa cmd .
.It Dv SMB_WRITEB Ta
.Em WriteByte
first sends the byte from
.Fa cmd
to the device, followed by the byte given in
.Fa wdata.byte .
.It Dv SMB_WRITEW Ta
.Em WriteWord
first sends the byte from
.Fa cmd
to the device, followed by the word given in
.Fa wdata.word .
Note that the SMBus byte-order is little-endian by definition.
.It Dv SMB_READB Ta
.Em ReadByte
first sends the byte from
.Fa cmd
to the device, then reads one byte of data from
the device.
Returned data is stored in
.Fa rdata.byte .
.It Dv SMB_READW Ta
.Em ReadWord
first sends the byte from
.Fa cmd
to the device, then reads one word of data from
the device.
Returned data is stored in
.Fa rdata.word .
.It Dv SMB_PCALL Ta
.Em ProcedureCall
first sends the byte from
.Fa cmd
to the device, followed by the word provided in
.Fa wdata.word .
It then reads one word of data from the device and returns it
in
.Fa rdata.word .
.It Dv SMB_BWRITE Ta
.Em BlockWrite
first sends the byte from
.Fa cmd
to the device, followed by
.Fa wcount
bytes of data that are taken from the buffer pointed to by
.Fa wbuf .
The SMBus specification mandates that no more than 32 bytes of
data can be transferred in a single block read or write command,
but since
.Xr smbus 4
is also used to access I2C devices, the limit has been increased
to 1024.
This value can be read from the constant
.Dv SMB_MAXBLOCKSIZE .
.It Dv SMB_BREAD Ta
.Em BlockRead
first sends the byte from
.Fa cmd
to the device, then reads
.Fa rcount
bytes of data that from the device.
This data is returned in the buffer pointed to by
.Fa rbuf .
.It Dv SMB_TRANS Ta
.Em Trans
sends an SMB roll-up transaction with flags that also allow it to
be used for (mostly) I2C pass-through and with 10-bit addresses.
This function can be utilized to roll up all of the above functions.
It first sends the byte from
.Fa cmd
to the device, followed by
.Fa wcount
bytes of data that are taken from the buffer pointed to by
.Fa wbuf ,
then reads
.Fa rcount
bytes of data that from the device.
This data is returned in the buffer pointed to by
.Fa rbuf .
.Pp
The following flags are allowed in
.Fa op :
.Pp
.Bd -literal -compact
SMB_TRANS_NOSTOP  Do not send STOP at end
SMB_TRANS_NOCMD   Ignore cmd field (do not tx)
SMB_TRANS_NOCNT   Do not tx or rx count field
SMB_TRANS_7BIT    Change address mode to 7-bit
SMB_TRANS_10BIT   Change address mode to 10-bit
.Ed
.El
.Pp
The
.Xr read 2
and
.Xr write 2
system calls are not implemented by this driver.
.Sh ERRORS
The
.Xr ioctl 2
commands can cause the following driver-specific errors:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er ENXIO
Device did not respond to selection.
.It Bq Er EBUSY
Device still in use.
.It Bq Er ENODEV
Operation not supported by device (not supposed to happen).
.It Bq Er EINVAL
General argument error.
.It Bq Er EWOULDBLOCK
SMBus transaction timed out.
