13*4882a593Smuzhiyun-----------
14*4882a593Smuzhiyun
15*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe Maxim/Dallas Semiconductor DS2490 is a chip
16*4882a593Smuzhiyunwhich allows to build USB <-> W1 bridges.
17*4882a593Smuzhiyun
18*4882a593SmuzhiyunDS9490(R) is a USB <-> W1 bus master device
19*4882a593Smuzhiyunwhich has 0x81 family ID integrated chip and DS2490
20*4882a593Smuzhiyunlow-level operational chip.
21*4882a593Smuzhiyun
22*4882a593SmuzhiyunNotes and limitations.
23*4882a593Smuzhiyun
24*4882a593Smuzhiyun- The weak pullup current is a minimum of 0.9mA and maximum of 6.0mA.
25*4882a593Smuzhiyun- The 5V strong pullup is supported with a minimum of 5.9mA and a
26*4882a593Smuzhiyun  maximum of 30.4 mA.  (From DS2490.pdf)
27*4882a593Smuzhiyun- The hardware will detect when devices are attached to the bus on the
28*4882a593Smuzhiyun  next bus (reset?) operation, however only a message is printed as
29*4882a593Smuzhiyun  the core w1 code doesn't make use of the information.  Connecting
30*4882a593Smuzhiyun  one device tends to give multiple new device notifications.
31*4882a593Smuzhiyun- The number of USB bus transactions could be reduced if w1_reset_send
32*4882a593Smuzhiyun  was added to the API.  The name is just a suggestion.  It would take
33*4882a593Smuzhiyun  a write buffer and a read buffer (along with sizes) as arguments.
34*4882a593Smuzhiyun  The ds2490 block I/O command supports reset, write buffer, read
35*4882a593Smuzhiyun  buffer, and strong pullup all in one command, instead of the current
36*4882a593Smuzhiyun  1 reset bus, 2 write the match rom command and slave rom id, 3 block
37*4882a593Smuzhiyun  write and read data.  The write buffer needs to have the match rom
38*4882a593Smuzhiyun  command and slave rom id prepended to the front of the requested
39*4882a593Smuzhiyun  write buffer, both of which are known to the driver.
40*4882a593Smuzhiyun- The hardware supports normal, flexible, and overdrive bus
41*4882a593Smuzhiyun  communication speeds, but only the normal is supported.
42*4882a593Smuzhiyun- The registered w1_bus_master functions don't define error
43*4882a593Smuzhiyun  conditions.  If a bus search is in progress and the ds2490 is
44*4882a593Smuzhiyun  removed it can produce a good amount of error output before the bus
45*4882a593Smuzhiyun  search finishes.
46*4882a593Smuzhiyun- The hardware supports detecting some error conditions, such as
47*4882a593Smuzhiyun  short, alarming presence on reset, and no presence on reset, but the
48*4882a593Smuzhiyun  driver doesn't query those values.
49*4882a593Smuzhiyun- The ds2490 specification doesn't cover short bulk in reads in
50*4882a593Smuzhiyun  detail, but my observation is if fewer bytes are requested than are
51*4882a593Smuzhiyun  available, the bulk read will return an error and the hardware will
52*4882a593Smuzhiyun  clear the entire bulk in buffer.  It would be possible to read the
53*4882a593Smuzhiyun  maximum buffer size to not run into this error condition, only extra
54*4882a593Smuzhiyun  bytes in the buffer is a logic error in the driver.  The code should
55*4882a593Smuzhiyun  should match reads and writes as well as data sizes.  Reads and
56*4882a593Smuzhiyun  writes are serialized and the status verifies that the chip is idle
57*4882a593Smuzhiyun  (and data is available) before the read is executed, so it should
58*4882a593Smuzhiyun  not happen.
59*4882a593Smuzhiyun- Running x86_64 2.6.24 UHCI under qemu 0.9.0 under x86_64 2.6.22-rc6
60*4882a593Smuzhiyun  with a OHCI controller, ds2490 running in the guest would operate
61*4882a593Smuzhiyun  normally the first time the module was loaded after qemu attached
62*4882a593Smuzhiyun  the ds2490 hardware, but if the module was unloaded, then reloaded
63*4882a593Smuzhiyun  most of the time one of the bulk out or in, and usually the bulk in
64*4882a593Smuzhiyun  would fail.  qemu sets a 50ms timeout and the bulk in would timeout
65*4882a593Smuzhiyun  even when the status shows data available.  A bulk out write would
66*4882a593Smuzhiyun  show a successful completion, but the ds2490 status register would
67*4882a593Smuzhiyun  show 0 bytes written.  Detaching qemu from the ds2490 hardware and
68*4882a593Smuzhiyun  reattaching would clear the problem.  usbmon output in the guest and
69*4882a593Smuzhiyun  host did not explain the problem.  My guess is a bug in either qemu
70*4882a593Smuzhiyun  or the host OS and more likely the host OS.
