+
+
+1. Blackfin GPIO introduction
+
+ There are many GPIO pins on Blackfin. Most of these pins are muxed to
+ multi-functions. They can be configured as peripheral, or just as GPIO,
+ configured to input with interrupt enabled, or output.
+
+ For detailed information, please see "arch/blackfin/kernel/bfin_gpio.c",
+ or the relevant HRM.
+
+
+2. Avoiding resource conflict
+
+ Followed function groups are used to avoiding resource conflict,
+ - Use the pin as peripheral,
+ int peripheral_request(unsigned short per, const char *label);
+ int peripheral_request_list(const unsigned short per[], const char *label);
+ void peripheral_free(unsigned short per);
+ void peripheral_free_list(const unsigned short per[]);
+ - Use the pin as GPIO,
+ int bfin_gpio_request(unsigned gpio, const char *label);
+ void bfin_gpio_free(unsigned gpio);
+ - Use the pin as GPIO interrupt,
+ int bfin_gpio_irq_request(unsigned gpio, const char *label);
+ void bfin_gpio_irq_free(unsigned gpio);
+
+ The request functions will record the function state for a certain pin,
+ the free functions will clear it's function state.
+ Once a pin is requested, it can't be requested again before it is freed by
+ previous caller, otherwise kernel will dump stacks, and the request
+ function fail.
+ These functions are wrapped by other functions, most of the users need not
+ care.
+
+
+3. But there are some exceptions
+ - Kernel permit the identical GPIO be requested both as GPIO and GPIO
+ interrut.
+ Some drivers, like gpio-keys, need this behavior. Kernel only print out
+ warning messages like,
+ bfin-gpio: GPIO 24 is already reserved by gpio-keys: BTN0, and you are
+configuring it as IRQ!
+
+ Note: Consider the case that, if there are two drivers need the
+ identical GPIO, one of them use it as GPIO, the other use it as
+ GPIO interrupt. This will really cause resource conflict. So if
+ there is any abnormal driver behavior, please check the bfin-gpio
+ warning messages.
+
+ - Kernel permit the identical GPIO be requested from the same driver twice.

+
+To support containers, we now allow multiple instances of devpts filesystem,
+such that indices of ptys allocated in one instance are independent of indices
+allocated in other instances of devpts.
+
+To preserve backward compatibility, this support for multiple instances is
+enabled only if:
+
+ - CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y, and
+ - '-o newinstance' mount option is specified while mounting devpts
+
+IOW, devpts now supports both single-instance and multi-instance semantics.
+
+If CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=n, there is no change in behavior and
+this referred to as the "legacy" mode. In this mode, the new mount options
+(-o newinstance and -o ptmxmode) will be ignored with a 'bogus option' message
+on console.
+
+If CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y and devpts is mounted without the
+'newinstance' option (as in current start-up scripts) the new mount binds
+to the initial kernel mount of devpts. This mode is referred to as the
+'single-instance' mode and the current, single-instance semantics are
+preserved, i.e PTYs are common across the system.
+
+The only difference between this single-instance mode and the legacy mode
+is the presence of new, '/dev/pts/ptmx' node with permissions 0000, which
+can safely be ignored.
+
+If CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y and 'newinstance' option is specified,
+the mount is considered to be in the multi-instance mode and a new instance
+of the devpts fs is created. Any ptys created in this instance are independent
+of ptys in other instances of devpts. Like in the single-instance mode, the
+/dev/pts/ptmx node is present. To effectively use the multi-instance mode,
+open of /dev/ptmx must be a redirected to '/dev/pts/ptmx' using a symlink or
+bind-mount.
+
+Eg: A container startup script could do the following:
+
+ $ chmod 0666 /dev/pts/ptmx
+ $ rm /dev/ptmx
+ $ ln -s pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx
+ $ ns_exec -cm /bin/bash
+
+ # We are now in new container
+
+ $ umount /dev/pts
+ $ mount -t devpts -o newinstance lxcpts /dev/pts
+ $ sshd -p 1234
+
+where 'ns_exec -cm /bin/bash' calls clone() with CLONE_NEWNS flag and execs
+/bin/bash in the child process. A pty created by the sshd is not visible in
+the original mount of /dev/pts.
+
+User-space changes
+------------------
+
+In multi-instance mode (i.e '-o newinstance' mount option is specified at least
+once), following user-space issues should be noted.
+
+1. If -o newinstance mount option is never used, /dev/pts/ptmx can be ignored
+ and no change is needed to system-startup scripts.
+
+2. To effectively use multi-instance mode (i.e -o newinstance is specified)
+ administrators or startup scripts should "redirect" open of /dev/ptmx to
+ /dev/pts/ptmx using either a bind mount or symlink.
+
+ $ mount -t devpts -o newinstance devpts /dev/pts
+
+ followed by either
+
+ $ rm /dev/ptmx
+ $ ln -s pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx
+ $ chmod 666 /dev/pts/ptmx
+ or
+ $ mount -o bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx
+
+3. The '/dev/ptmx -> pts/ptmx' symlink is the preferred method since it
+ enables better error-reporting and treats both single-instance and
+ multi-instance mounts similarly.
+
+ But this method requires that system-startup scripts set the mode of
+ /dev/pts/ptmx correctly (default mode is 0000). The scripts can set the
+ mode by, either
+
+ - adding ptmxmode mount option to devpts entry in /etc/fstab, or
+ - using 'chmod 0666 /dev/pts/ptmx'
+
+4. If multi-instance mode mount is needed for containers, but the system
+ startup scripts have not yet been updated, container-startup scripts
+ should bind mount /dev/ptmx to /dev/pts/ptmx to avoid breaking single-
+ instance mounts.
+
+ Or, in general, container-startup scripts should use:
+
+ mount -t devpts -o newinstance -o ptmxmode=0666 devpts /dev/pts
+ if [ ! -L /dev/ptmx ]; then
+ mount -o bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx
+ fi
+
+ When all devpts mounts are multi-instance, /dev/ptmx can permanently be
+ a symlink to pts/ptmx and the bind mount can be ignored.
+
+5. A multi-instance mount that is not accompanied by the /dev/ptmx to
+ /dev/pts/ptmx redirection would result in an unusable/unreachable pty.
+
+ mount -t devpts -o newinstance lxcpts /dev/pts
+
+ immediately followed by:
+
+ open("/dev/ptmx")
+
+ would create a pty, say /dev/pts/7, in the initial kernel mount.
+ But /dev/pts/7 would be invisible in the new mount.
+
+6. The permissions for /dev/pts/ptmx node should be specified when mounting
+ /dev/pts, using the '-o ptmxmode=%o' mount option (default is 0000).
+
+ mount -t devpts -o newinstance -o ptmxmode=0644 devpts /dev/pts
+
+ The permissions can be later be changed as usual with 'chmod'.
+
+ chmod 666 /dev/pts/ptmx
+
+7. A mount of devpts without the 'newinstance' option results in binding to
+ initial kernel mount. This behavior while preserving legacy semantics,
+ does not provide strict isolation in a container environment. i.e by
+ mounting devpts without the 'newinstance' option, a container could
+ get visibility into the 'host' or root container's devpts.
+
+ To workaround this and have strict isolation, all mounts of devpts,
+ including the mount in the root container, should use the newinstance
+ option.

+Description
+-----------
+
+Fintek F718xxFG/F8000 Super I/O chips include complete hardware monitoring
+capabilities. They can monitor up to 9 voltages (3 for the F8000), 4 fans and
+3 temperature sensors.
+
+These chips also have fan controlling features, using either DC or PWM, in
+three different modes (one manual, two automatic).
+
+The driver assumes that no more than one chip is present, which seems
+reasonable.
+
+
+Monitoring
+----------
+
+The Voltage, Fan and Temperature Monitoring uses the standard sysfs
+interface as documented in sysfs-interface, without any exceptions.
+
+
+Fan Control
+-----------
+
+Both PWM (pulse-width modulation) and DC fan speed control methods are
+supported. The right one to use depends on external circuitry on the
+motherboard, so the driver assumes that the BIOS set the method
+properly.
+
+There are 2 modes to specify the speed of the fan, PWM duty cycle (or DC
+voltage) mode, where 0-100% duty cycle (0-100% of 12V) is specified. And RPM
+mode where the actual RPM of the fan (as measured) is controlled and the speed
+gets specified as 0-100% of the fan#_full_speed file.
+
+Since both modes work in a 0-100% (mapped to 0-255) scale, there isn't a
+whole lot of a difference when modifying fan control settings. The only
+important difference is that in RPM mode the 0-100% controls the fan speed
+between 0-100% of fan#_full_speed. It is assumed that if the BIOS programs
+RPM mode, it will also set fan#_full_speed properly, if it does not then
+fan control will not work properly, unless you set a sane fan#_full_speed
+value yourself.
+
+Switching between these modes requires re-initializing a whole bunch of
+registers, so the mode which the BIOS has set is kept. The mode is
+printed when loading the driver.
+
+Three different fan control modes are supported; the mode number is written
+to the pwm#_enable file. Note that not all modes are supported on all
+chips, and some modes may only be available in RPM / PWM mode on the F8000.
+Writing an unsupported mode will result in an invalid parameter error.
+
+* 1: Manual mode
+ You ask for a specific PWM duty cycle / DC voltage or a specific % of
+ fan#_full_speed by writing to the pwm# file. This mode is only
+ available on the F8000 if the fan channel is in RPM mode.
+
+* 2: Normal auto mode
+ You can define a number of temperature/fan speed trip points, which % the
+ fan should run at at this temp and which temp a fan should follow using the
+ standard sysfs interface. The number and type of trip points is chip
+ depended, see which files are available in sysfs.
+ Fan/PWM channel 3 of the F8000 is always in this mode!
+
+* 3: Thermostat mode (Only available on the F8000 when in duty cycle mode)
+ The fan speed is regulated to keep the temp the fan is mapped to between
+ temp#_auto_point2_temp and temp#_auto_point3_temp.
+
+Both of the automatic modes require that pwm1 corresponds to fan1, pwm2 to
+fan2 and pwm3 to fan3.

+checksum for nibbles 12..23.
+
+After last octal value for nibble 24 and next sync pulse one additional
+binary value can be sampled. This bit and magic number is not used in
+software driver. Some details about this magic numbers can be found in
+Walkera_Wk-0701_PCM.pdf.
+
+Checksum calculation:
+
+Summary of octal values in nibbles must be same as octal value in checksum
+nibble (only first 3 bits are used). Binary value for checksum nibble is
+calculated by sum of binary values in checked nibbles + sum of octal values
+in checked nibbles divided by 8. Only bit 0 of this sum is used.

+In most cases the name of the architecture is the same as the
+directory name found in the arch/ directory.
+But some architectures suach as x86 and sparc has aliases.
+x86: i386 for 32 bit, x86_64 for 64 bit
+sparc: sparc for 32 bit, sparc64 for 64 bit
+
+CROSS_COMPILE
+--------------------------------------------------

+relocations required by build roots. This is not defined in the
+makefile but the argument can be passed to make if needed.
+
+INSTALL_MOD_STRIP
+--------------------------------------------------
+INSTALL_MOD_STRIP, if defined, will cause modules to be
+stripped after they are installed. If INSTALL_MOD_STRIP is '1', then

+This file contains some assistance for using "make *config".
+
+Use "make help" to list all of the possible configuration targets.
+
+The xconfig ('qconf') and menuconfig ('mconf') programs also
+have embedded help text. Be sure to check it for navigation,
+search, and other general help text.
+
+======================================================================
+General
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+New kernel releases often introduce new config symbols. Often more
+important, new kernel releases may rename config symbols. When
+this happens, using a previously working .config file and running
+"make oldconfig" won't necessarily produce a working new kernel
+for you, so you may find that you need to see what NEW kernel
+symbols have been introduced.
+
+To see a list of new config symbols when using "make oldconfig", use
+
+ cp user/some/old.config .config
+ yes "" | make oldconfig >conf.new
+
+and the config program will list as (NEW) any new symbols that have
+unknown values. Of course, the .config file is also updated with
+new (default) values, so you can use:
+
+ grep "(NEW)" conf.new
+
+to see the new config symbols or you can 'diff' the previous and
+new .config files to see the differences:
+
+ diff .config.old .config | less
+
+(Yes, we need something better here.)
+
+
+======================================================================
+menuconfig
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+SEARCHING for CONFIG symbols
+
+Searching in menuconfig:
+
+ The Search function searches for kernel configuration symbol
+ names, so you have to know something close to what you are
+ looking for.
+
+ Example:
+ /hotplug
+ This lists all config symbols that contain "hotplug",
+ e.g., HOTPLUG, HOTPLUG_CPU, MEMORY_HOTPLUG.
+
+ For search help, enter / followed TAB-TAB-TAB (to highlight
+ <Help>) and Enter. This will tell you that you can also use
+ regular expressions (regexes) in the search string, so if you
+ are not interested in MEMORY_HOTPLUG, you could try
+
+ /^hotplug
+
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+Color Themes for 'menuconfig'
+
+It is possible to select different color themes using the variable
+MENUCONFIG_COLOR. To select a theme use:
+
+ make MENUCONFIG_COLOR=<theme> menuconfig
+
+Available themes are:
+ mono => selects colors suitable for monochrome displays
+ blackbg => selects a color scheme with black background
+ classic => theme with blue background. The classic look
+ bluetitle => a LCD friendly version of classic. (default)
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+Environment variables in 'menuconfig'
+
+KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG
+--------------------------------------------------
+(partially based on lkml email from/by Rob Landley, re: miniconfig)
+--------------------------------------------------
+The allyesconfig/allmodconfig/allnoconfig/randconfig variants can
+also use the environment variable KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG as a flag or a
+filename that contains config symbols that the user requires to be
+set to a specific value. If KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG is used without a
+filename, "make *config" checks for a file named
+"all{yes/mod/no/random}.config" (corresponding to the *config command
+that was used) for symbol values that are to be forced. If this file
+is not found, it checks for a file named "all.config" to contain forced
+values.
+
+This enables you to create "miniature" config (miniconfig) or custom
+config files containing just the config symbols that you are interested
+in. Then the kernel config system generates the full .config file,
+including dependencies of your miniconfig file, based on the miniconfig
+file.
+
+This 'KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG' file is a config file which contains
+(usually a subset of all) preset config symbols. These variable
+settings are still subject to normal dependency checks.
+
+Examples:
+ KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=custom-notebook.config make allnoconfig
+or
+ KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=mini.config make allnoconfig
+or
+ make KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=mini.config allnoconfig
+
+These examples will disable most options (allnoconfig) but enable or
+disable the options that are explicitly listed in the specified
+mini-config files.
+
+KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE
+--------------------------------------------------
+If this variable has a non-blank value, it prevents silent kernel
+config udpates (requires explicit updates).
+
+KCONFIG_CONFIG
+--------------------------------------------------
+This environment variable can be used to specify a default kernel config
+file name to override the default name of ".config".
+
+KCONFIG_OVERWRITECONFIG
+--------------------------------------------------
+If you set KCONFIG_OVERWRITECONFIG in the environment, Kconfig will not
+break symlinks when .config is a symlink to somewhere else.
+
+KCONFIG_NOTIMESTAMP
+--------------------------------------------------
+If this environment variable exists and is non-null, the timestamp line
+in generated .config files is omitted.
+
+KCONFIG_AUTOCONFIG
+--------------------------------------------------
+This environment variable can be set to specify the path & name of the
+"auto.conf" file. Its default value is "include/config/auto.conf".
+
+KCONFIG_AUTOHEADER
+--------------------------------------------------
+This environment variable can be set to specify the path & name of the
+"autoconf.h" (header) file. Its default value is "include/linux/autoconf.h".
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+menuconfig User Interface Options
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+MENUCONFIG_MODE
+--------------------------------------------------
+This mode shows all sub-menus in one large tree.
+
+Example:
+ MENUCONFIG_MODE=single_menu make menuconfig
+
+======================================================================
+xconfig
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+Searching in xconfig:
+
+ The Search function searches for kernel configuration symbol
+ names, so you have to know something close to what you are
+ looking for.
+
+ Example:
+ Ctrl-F hotplug
+ or
+ Menu: File, Search, hotplug
+
+ lists all config symbol entries that contain "hotplug" in
+ the symbol name. In this Search dialog, you may change the
+ config setting for any of the entries that are not grayed out.
+ You can also enter a different search string without having
+ to return to the main menu.
+
+
+======================================================================
+gconfig
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+Searching in gconfig:
+
+ None (gconfig isn't maintained as well as xconfig or menuconfig);
+ however, gconfig does have a few more viewing choices than
+ xconfig does.

+ Driver for the Intel Wireless Wimax Connection 2400m
+
+ (C) 2008 Intel Corporation < linux-wimax@intel.com >
+
+ This provides a driver for the Intel Wireless WiMAX Connection 2400m
+ and a basic Linux kernel WiMAX stack.
+
+1. Requirements
+
+ * Linux installation with Linux kernel 2.6.22 or newer (if building
+ from a separate tree)
+ * Intel i2400m Echo Peak or Baxter Peak; this includes the Intel
+ Wireless WiMAX/WiFi Link 5x50 series.
+ * build tools:
+ + Linux kernel development package for the target kernel; to
+ build against your currently running kernel, you need to have
+ the kernel development package corresponding to the running
+ image installed (usually if your kernel is named
+ linux-VERSION, the development package is called
+ linux-dev-VERSION or linux-headers-VERSION).
+ + GNU C Compiler, make
+
+2. Compilation and installation
+
+2.1. Compilation of the drivers included in the kernel
+
+ Configure the kernel; to enable the WiMAX drivers select Drivers >
+ Networking Drivers > WiMAX device support. Enable all of them as
+ modules (easier).
+
+ If USB or SDIO are not enabled in the kernel configuration, the options
+ to build the i2400m USB or SDIO drivers will not show. Enable said
+ subsystems and go back to the WiMAX menu to enable the drivers.
+
+ Compile and install your kernel as usual.
+
+2.2. Compilation of the drivers distributed as an standalone module
+
+ To compile
+
+$ cd source/directory
+$ make
+
+ Once built you can load and unload using the provided load.sh script;
+ load.sh will load the modules, load.sh u will unload them.
+
+ To install in the default kernel directories (and enable auto loading
+ when the device is plugged):
+
+$ make install
+$ depmod -a
+
+ If your kernel development files are located in a non standard
+ directory or if you want to build for a kernel that is not the
+ currently running one, set KDIR to the right location:
+
+$ make KDIR=/path/to/kernel/dev/tree
+
+ For more information, please contact linux-wimax@intel.com.
+
+3. Installing the firmware
+
+ The firmware can be obtained from http://linuxwimax.org or might have
+ been supplied with your hardware.
+
+ It has to be installed in the target system:
+ *
+$ cp FIRMWAREFILE.sbcf /lib/firmware/i2400m-fw-BUSTYPE-1.3.sbcf
+
+ * NOTE: if your firmware came in an .rpm or .deb file, just install
+ it as normal, with the rpm (rpm -i FIRMWARE.rpm) or dpkg
+ (dpkg -i FIRMWARE.deb) commands. No further action is needed.
+ * BUSTYPE will be usb or sdio, depending on the hardware you have.
+ Each hardware type comes with its own firmware and will not work
+ with other types.
+
+4. Design
+
+ This package contains two major parts: a WiMAX kernel stack and a
+ driver for the Intel i2400m.
+
+ The WiMAX stack is designed to provide for common WiMAX control
+ services to current and future WiMAX devices from any vendor; please
+ see README.wimax for details.
+
+ The i2400m kernel driver is broken up in two main parts: the bus
+ generic driver and the bus-specific drivers. The bus generic driver
+ forms the drivercore and contain no knowledge of the actual method we
+ use to connect to the device. The bus specific drivers are just the
+ glue to connect the bus-generic driver and the device. Currently only
+ USB and SDIO are supported. See drivers/net/wimax/i2400m/i2400m.h for
+ more information.
+
+ The bus generic driver is logically broken up in two parts: OS-glue and
+ hardware-glue. The OS-glue interfaces with Linux. The hardware-glue
+ interfaces with the device on using an interface provided by the
+ bus-specific driver. The reason for this breakup is to be able to
+ easily reuse the hardware-glue to write drivers for other OSes; note
+ the hardware glue part is written as a native Linux driver; no
+ abstraction layers are used, so to port to another OS, the Linux kernel
+ API calls should be replaced with the target OS's.
+
+5. Usage
+
+ To load the driver, follow the instructions in the install section;
+ once the driver is loaded, plug in the device (unless it is permanently
+ plugged in). The driver will enumerate the device, upload the firmware
+ and output messages in the kernel log (dmesg, /var/log/messages or
+ /var/log/kern.log) such as:
+
+...
+i2400m_usb 5-4:1.0: firmware interface version 8.0.0
+i2400m_usb 5-4:1.0: WiMAX interface wmx0 (00:1d:e1:01:94:2c) ready
+
+ At this point the device is ready to work.
+
+ Current versions require the Intel WiMAX Network Service in userspace
+ to make things work. See the network service's README for instructions
+ on how to scan, connect and disconnect.
+
+5.1. Module parameters
+
+ Module parameters can be set at kernel or module load time or by
+ echoing values:
+
+$ echo VALUE > /sys/module/MODULENAME/parameters/PARAMETERNAME
+
+ To make changes permanent, for example, for the i2400m module, you can
+ also create a file named /etc/modprobe.d/i2400m containing:
+
+options i2400m idle_mode_disabled=1
+
+ To find which parameters are supported by a module, run:
+
+$ modinfo path/to/module.ko
+
+ During kernel bootup (if the driver is linked in the kernel), specify
+ the following to the kernel command line:
+
+i2400m.PARAMETER=VALUE
+
+5.1.1. i2400m: idle_mode_disabled
+
+ The i2400m module supports a parameter to disable idle mode. This
+ parameter, once set, will take effect only when the device is
+ reinitialized by the driver (eg: following a reset or a reconnect).
+
+5.2. Debug operations: debugfs entries
+
+ The driver will register debugfs entries that allow the user to tweak
+ debug settings. There are three main container directories where
+ entries are placed, which correspond to the three blocks a i2400m WiMAX
+ driver has:
+ * /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:DEVNAME/ for the generic WiMAX stack
+ controls
+ * /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:DEVNAME/i2400m for the i2400m generic
+ driver controls
+ * /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:DEVNAME/i2400m-usb (or -sdio) for the
+ bus-specific i2400m-usb or i2400m-sdio controls).
+
+ Of course, if debugfs is mounted in a directory other than
+ /sys/kernel/debug, those paths will change.
+
+5.2.1. Increasing debug output
+
+ The files named *dl_* indicate knobs for controlling the debug output
+ of different submodules:
+ *
+# find /sys/kernel/debug/wimax\:wmx0 -name \*dl_\*
+/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m-usb/dl_tx
+/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m-usb/dl_rx
+/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m-usb/dl_notif
+/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m-usb/dl_fw

+/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_tx
+/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_rx
+/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_rfkill
+/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_netdev
+/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_fw
+/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_debugfs

+/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_op_reset
+/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_op_msg
+/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_id_table
+/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_debugfs
+
+ By reading the file you can obtain the current value of said debug
+ level; by writing to it, you can set it.
+
+ To increase the debug level of, for example, the i2400m's generic TX
+ engine, just write:
+
+$ echo 3 > /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_tx
+
+ Increasing numbers yield increasing debug information; for details of
+ what is printed and the available levels, check the source. The code
+ uses 0 for disabled and increasing values until 8.
+
+5.2.2. RX and TX statistics
+
+ The i2400m/rx_stats and i2400m/tx_stats provide statistics about the
+ data reception/delivery from the device:
+
+$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/rx_stats
+45 1 3 34 3104 48 480
+
+ The numbers reported are
+ * packets/RX-buffer: total, min, max
+ * RX-buffers: total RX buffers received, accumulated RX buffer size
+ in bytes, min size received, max size received
+
+ Thus, to find the average buffer size received, divide accumulated
+ RX-buffer / total RX-buffers.
+
+ To clear the statistics back to 0, write anything to the rx_stats file:
+
+$ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m_rx_stats
+
+ Likewise for TX.
+
+ Note the packets this debug file refers to are not network packet, but
+ packets in the sense of the device-specific protocol for communication
+ to the host. See drivers/net/wimax/i2400m/tx.c.
+
+5.2.3. Tracing messages received from user space
+
+ To echo messages received from user space into the trace pipe that the
+ i2400m driver creates, set the debug file i2400m/trace_msg_from_user to
+ 1:
+ *
+$ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/trace_msg_from_user
+
+5.2.4. Performing a device reset
+
+ By writing a 0, a 1 or a 2 to the file
+ /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/reset, the driver performs a warm (without
+ disconnecting from the bus), cold (disconnecting from the bus) or bus
+ (bus specific) reset on the device.
+
+5.2.5. Asking the device to enter power saving mode
+
+ By writing any value to the /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0 file, the
+ device will attempt to enter power saving mode.
+
+6. Troubleshooting
+
+6.1. Driver complains about 'i2400m-fw-usb-1.2.sbcf: request failed'
+
+ If upon connecting the device, the following is output in the kernel
+ log:
+
+i2400m_usb 5-4:1.0: fw i2400m-fw-usb-1.3.sbcf: request failed: -2
+
+ This means that the driver cannot locate the firmware file named
+ /lib/firmware/i2400m-fw-usb-1.2.sbcf. Check that the file is present in
+ the right location.

+ Linux kernel WiMAX stack
+
+ (C) 2008 Intel Corporation < linux-wimax@intel.com >
+
+ This provides a basic Linux kernel WiMAX stack to provide a common
+ control API for WiMAX devices, usable from kernel and user space.
+
+1. Design
+
+ The WiMAX stack is designed to provide for common WiMAX control
+ services to current and future WiMAX devices from any vendor.
+
+ Because currently there is only one and we don't know what would be the
+ common services, the APIs it currently provides are very minimal.
+ However, it is done in such a way that it is easily extensible to
+ accommodate future requirements.
+
+ The stack works by embedding a struct wimax_dev in your device's
+ control structures. This provides a set of callbacks that the WiMAX
+ stack will call in order to implement control operations requested by
+ the user. As well, the stack provides API functions that the driver
+ calls to notify about changes of state in the device.
+
+ The stack exports the API calls needed to control the device to user
+ space using generic netlink as a marshalling mechanism. You can access
+ them using your own code or use the wrappers provided for your
+ convenience in libwimax (in the wimax-tools package).
+
+ For detailed information on the stack, please see
+ include/linux/wimax.h.
+
+2. Usage
+
+ For usage in a driver (registration, API, etc) please refer to the
+ instructions in the header file include/linux/wimax.h.
+
+ When a device is registered with the WiMAX stack, a set of debugfs
+ files will appear in /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmxX can tweak for
+ control.
+
+2.1. Obtaining debug information: debugfs entries
+
+ The WiMAX stack is compiled, by default, with debug messages that can
+ be used to diagnose issues. By default, said messages are disabled.
+
+ The drivers will register debugfs entries that allow the user to tweak
+ debug settings.
+
+ Each driver, when registering with the stack, will cause a debugfs
+ directory named wimax:DEVICENAME to be created; optionally, it might
+ create more subentries below it.
+
+2.1.1. Increasing debug output
+
+ The files named *dl_* indicate knobs for controlling the debug output
+ of different submodules of the WiMAX stack:
+ *
+# find /sys/kernel/debug/wimax\:wmx0 -name \*dl_\*
+/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_stack
+/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_op_rfkill
+/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_op_reset
+/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_op_msg
+/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_id_table
+/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_debugfs
+/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/.... # other driver specific files
+
+ NOTE: Of course, if debugfs is mounted in a directory other than
+ /sys/kernel/debug, those paths will change.
+
+ By reading the file you can obtain the current value of said debug
+ level; by writing to it, you can set it.
+
+ To increase the debug level of, for example, the id-table submodule,
+ just write:
+
