I2C核心
I2C核心提供了I2C总线驱动和设备驱动的注册、注销方法,I2C通信方法(algorithm)上层的与具体适配器无关的代码以及探测设备、检测设备地址的上层代码等。
I2C总线驱动
I2C总线驱动是对I2C硬件体系结构中适配器段端的实现,适配器可由CPU控制,甚至可以直接集成在CPU内部。I2C总线驱动主要包括I2C适配器数据结构i2c_adapter、I2C适配器的Algorithm数据结构i2c_algorithm和控制I2C适配器产生通信信号的函数。经由I2C总线驱动的代码,我们可以控制I2C适配器以主控方式产生开始位、停止位、读写周期,以及从设备方式读写、产生ACK等。
I2C设备驱动
I2C设备驱动即客户驱动时对I2C硬件体系结构中设备端的实现,设备一般挂接在受CPU控制的I2C适配器上,通过I2C适配器与CPU交换数据。I2C设备驱动主要包含数据结构i2c_driver和i2c_client,我们需要具体设备实现其中的成员函数。
在linux2.6内核中,所有设备都在sysfs文件系统中显示,在sysfs虚拟文件系统中存放了驱动挂载的总线以及device、driver,当我们注册一个driver后,内核会将我们注册的这个driver添加到这类驱动总线上这类总线的拥有一个共同的类似于一个基类kobject,而kset就是koject的一个集合。我们在写驱动的时候一般不会去分析kobject、kset,毕竟他们在内核里面是非常顶层的软件抽象层,但是对于内核整个驱动框架,却不能不分析这类抽象层,下图是我在树莓派所做的截图:
我们可以看到在sys文件目录下面有bus、class等,进入bus后会看到各种设备驱动,如在I2C中我们可以看到device、drivers,当然这些目录下面都没有什么内容应为sysfs是一个虚拟文件系统主要是记录各个进程和内核方面的信息。我们的驱动设备如何和虚拟文件系统产生关系了呢,就是kobject在这儿起了作用,我们的device、driver最终都会挂载一个总线上,后面我们会看到sysfs申请内存为device或者driver建立节点。
同样注册一个device后也会挂载在总线上。其实I2C我们也可以看成设备-总线-驱动模型,

上面是关于sysfs虚拟文件系统的分析,与i2c驱动没有太大的关系,但是我们可以看出来i2c的driver和device最后都是挂在总线上的,这些都是可以归纳为:总线---设备-----驱动模型的,我们可以看出来从i2c_add_driver()函数开始内核不光是在建立一个driver同时也在忙着将这个dirver挂在这个总线上,前面贴出的代码描述了这个过程,下面在看看流程:
i2c_add_driver()----------->i2c_register_driver()

driver->driver.bus = &i2c_bus_type
1 struct bus_type i2c_bus_type = { 2 .name = "i2c", 3 .dev_attrs = i2c_dev_attrs, 4 .match = i2c_device_match, 5 .uevent = i2c_device_uevent, 6 .probe = i2c_device_probe, 7 .remove = i2c_device_remove, 8 .shutdown = i2c_device_shutdown, 9 .suspend = i2c_device_suspend, 10 .resume = i2c_device_resume, 11 };
i2c_driver与i2c_client关系:
i2c_driver对应于一套驱动方法,主要成员函数是probe()、remove()、suspend()、resume()。
i2c_client对应于真实的物理设备,每个I2C设备都需要一个i2c_client来描述,i2c_driver与i2c_client的关系是一对多,一个i2c_drvier可以支持多个同类型的i2c_client。
i2c_adpater与i2c_client关系
i2c_adpater与i2c_client的关系与I2C硬件体系中适配器和设备的关系一致,即i2c_client依附于i2c_adapter。一个适配器可以连接多个I2C设备,所以一个i2c_adapter也可以被多个i2c_client依附,i2c_adapter中包括依附于它的i2c_client的链表。
刚开始没搞懂其实i2c_client、i2c_adpater这两个数据结构都是内核抽象出来的便于对多平台的适应,每一个i2c_adpater对应于一条总线,i2c_client每一个对应于一个具体设备。
网上的解释:简单点了, 你的开发板上有几个I2C接口,就有几个adapter , 也就是有几条I2C bus , I2C CLIENT 对应的就是你的外围I2C 设备,有几个就有几个CLIENT , 把这些设备插入开发板, 对应其中的一条BUS, 那么相应的就对应了其中的一个ADAPTER , 接下来的就是 CLIENT 与 ADAPTER 勾搭成对了, 后面就是做该做的事了
在编写I2C驱动的时候我们需要实现两个方面的内容:
1、提供I2C适配器的硬件驱动,探测、初始化I2C适配器、驱动CPU控制的I2C适配器从硬件上产生各种信号及处理I2C中断。
2、提供I2C适配器的算法,用具体适配器的xxx_dfer()函数填充i2c_algorithm的master_xfer指针。
3、对I2C core的接口,必须实现 struct i2c_drvier数据结构中的几个特定的功能函数。这些函数是I2C驱动与I2C总线物理层(I2C控制器)和I2C设备器件之间通信的基础。
4、 对用户应用层的接口,必须实现struct file_operation数据结构中的一些特定功能的函数,如 open ,release , read ,write,lseek等函数。以上两类接口中,对I2C core的接口是对I2C设备访问的基础,实现对I2C总线具体的访问方法;对用户应用层的接口则是方便应用程序开发,实现设备特定功能的必不可少的部分。例如,如果是字符设备,就实现文件操作接口,实现具体设备yyy的yyy_read()、yyy_write()和yyy_ioctl()函数等;如果是声卡,就实现ALSA驱动。
下面的函数流程就是i2c注册的过程,在注册的过程中会把i2c添加到总线上去,同时完成match过程(目前没有弄清楚的流程),难道是在这儿进行了dev和driver的比较?
i2c_add_driver()---------->i2c_register_driver()------------>driver_register()------------------->bus_add_driver()-------->driver_attach()--------->bus_for_each_dev()-------------->__driver_attach()----------------->driver_probe_device()----------------->int (*match)(struct device * dev, struct device_driver * drv)
总结一下I2C驱动的流程:
1、首先,在i2c_client_address_data的normal_i2c属性中定义好我们设备的设备地址。
2、接下来,i2c_driver就出场了,它的功能是定义i2c设备的名字,探测函数,卸载函数三个属性。
3、当程序在入口函数中注册i2c-driver驱动之后,系统就会根据我们第一步中定义的设备地址,调用attach_adapter函数进行匹配设备地址是否支持,在attach_adapter函数中主要的功能是在调用i2c_probe函数,当系统检测到设备地址匹配时,就会进入i2c_probe函数中干一些重要的事,接着就进入i2c-probe传入的at24cxx_detect函数中实现我们自己的事。
其实总结一下就下面一个流程:at24cxx_attach_adapter -> i2c_probe -> at24cxx_detect
当我们卸载设备时,会自动调用i2c_driver中定义的卸载函数at24cxx_detach_adapter进行卸载设备。
最后一步自然就是在出口函数中卸载i2c-driver驱动。
因为I2C只是一种通信的方式,所以在完成前面的工作后我们需要完成我们要在I2C这种通信方式山所做的工作,我们一般在at24cxx_detect()中完成设备register_chrdev()的注册,然后填写read()、write()等函数。
没有弄得很清楚的就是为什么没有注册i2c_add_adapter()---------->i2c_register_adapter(),适配器和device的匹配是在driver中完成的吗?
