   <chapter id="fbdev">
      <title>Frame Buffer Library</title>

      <para>
        The frame buffer drivers depend heavily on four data structures.
        These structures are declared in include/linux/fb.h.  They are
        fb_info, fb_var_screeninfo, fb_fix_screeninfo and fb_monospecs.
        The last three can be made available to and from userland.
      </para>

      <para>
        fb_info defines the current state of a particular video card.
        Inside fb_info, there exists a fb_ops structure which is a
        collection of needed functions to make fbdev and fbcon work.
        fb_info is only visible to the kernel.
      </para>

      <para>
        fb_var_screeninfo is used to describe the features of a video card
        that are user defined.  With fb_var_screeninfo, things such as
        depth and the resolution may be defined.
      </para>

      <para>
        The next structure is fb_fix_screeninfo. This defines the
        properties of a card that are created when a mode is set and can't
        be changed otherwise.  A good example of this is the start of the
        frame buffer memory.  This "locks" the address of the frame buffer
        memory, so that it cannot be changed or moved.
      </para>

      <para>
        The last structure is fb_monospecs. In the old API, there was
        little importance for fb_monospecs. This allowed for forbidden things
        such as setting a mode of 800x600 on a fix frequency monitor. With
        the new API, fb_monospecs prevents such things, and if used
        correctly, can prevent a monitor from being cooked.  fb_monospecs
        will not be useful until kernels 2.5.x.

   <chapter id="spi">
       <title>Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)</title>
   <para>
 	SPI is the "Serial Peripheral Interface", widely used with
 	embedded systems because it is a simple and efficient
 	interface:  basically a multiplexed shift register.
 	Its three signal wires hold a clock (SCK, often in the range
 	of 1-20 MHz), a "Master Out, Slave In" (MOSI) data line, and
 	a "Master In, Slave Out" (MISO) data line.
 	SPI is a full duplex protocol; for each bit shifted out the
 	MOSI line (one per clock) another is shifted in on the MISO line.
 	Those bits are assembled into words of various sizes on the
 	way to and from system memory.
 	An additional chipselect line is usually active-low (nCS);
 	four signals are normally used for each peripheral, plus
 	sometimes an interrupt.
   </para>
   <para>
 	The SPI bus facilities listed here provide a generalized
 	interface to declare SPI busses and devices, manage them
 	according to the standard Linux driver model, and perform
 	input/output operations.
 	At this time, only "master" side interfaces are supported,
 	where Linux talks to SPI peripherals and does not implement
 	such a peripheral itself.
 	(Interfaces to support implementing SPI slaves would
 	necessarily look different.)
   </para>
   <para>
 	The programming interface is structured around two kinds of driver,
 	and two kinds of device.
 	A "Controller Driver" abstracts the controller hardware, which may
 	be as simple as a set of GPIO pins or as complex as a pair of FIFOs
 	connected to dual DMA engines on the other side of the SPI shift
 	register (maximizing throughput).  Such drivers bridge between
 	whatever bus they sit on (often the platform bus) and SPI, and
 	expose the SPI side of their device as a
 	<structname>struct spi_master</structname>.
 	SPI devices are children of that master, represented as a
 	<structname>struct spi_device</structname> and manufactured from
 	<structname>struct spi_board_info</structname> descriptors which
 	are usually provided by board-specific initialization code.
 	A <structname>struct spi_driver</structname> is called a
 	"Protocol Driver", and is bound to a spi_device using normal
 	driver model calls.
   </para>
   <para>
 	The I/O model is a set of queued messages.  Protocol drivers
 	submit one or more <structname>struct spi_message</structname>
 	objects, which are processed and completed asynchronously.
 	(There are synchronous wrappers, however.)  Messages are
 	built from one or more <structname>struct spi_transfer</structname>
 	objects, each of which wraps a full duplex SPI transfer.
 	A variety of protocol tweaking options are needed, because
 	different chips adopt very different policies for how they
 	use the bits transferred with SPI.

   <chapter id="i2c">
      <title>I<superscript>2</superscript>C and SMBus Subsystem</title>

      <para>
 	I<superscript>2</superscript>C (or without fancy typography, "I2C")
 	is an acronym for the "Inter-IC" bus, a simple bus protocol which is
 	widely used where low data rate communications suffice.
 	Since it's also a licensed trademark, some vendors use another
 	name (such as "Two-Wire Interface", TWI) for the same bus.
 	I2C only needs two signals (SCL for clock, SDA for data), conserving
 	board real estate and minimizing signal quality issues.
 	Most I2C devices use seven bit addresses, and bus speeds of up
 	to 400 kHz; there's a high speed extension (3.4 MHz) that's not yet
 	found wide use.
 	I2C is a multi-master bus; open drain signaling is used to
 	arbitrate between masters, as well as to handshake and to
 	synchronize clocks from slower clients.
      </para>

      <para>
 	The Linux I2C programming interfaces support only the master
 	side of bus interactions, not the slave side.
 	The programming interface is structured around two kinds of driver,
 	and two kinds of device.
 	An I2C "Adapter Driver" abstracts the controller hardware; it binds
 	to a physical device (perhaps a PCI device or platform_device) and
 	exposes a <structname>struct i2c_adapter</structname> representing
 	each I2C bus segment it manages.
 	On each I2C bus segment will be I2C devices represented by a
 	<structname>struct i2c_client</structname>.  Those devices will
 	be bound to a <structname>struct i2c_driver</structname>,
 	which should follow the standard Linux driver model.
 	(At this writing, a legacy model is more widely used.)
 	There are functions to perform various I2C protocol operations; at
 	this writing all such functions are usable only from task context.
      </para>

      <para>
 	The System Management Bus (SMBus) is a sibling protocol.  Most SMBus
 	systems are also I2C conformant.  The electrical constraints are
 	tighter for SMBus, and it standardizes particular protocol messages
 	and idioms.  Controllers that support I2C can also support most
 	SMBus operations, but SMBus controllers don't support all the protocol
 	options that an I2C controller will.
 	There are functions to perform various SMBus protocol operations,
 	either using I2C primitives or by issuing SMBus commands to
 	i2c_adapter devices which don't support those I2C operations.

 	High Speed Synchronous Serial Interface (HSI) is a

 	HSI provides multiplexing for up to 16 logical channels,

     <title>Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM)</title>
     <para>
       Pulse-width modulation is a modulation technique primarily used to
       control power supplied to electrical devices.
     </para>
     <para>
       The PWM framework provides an abstraction for providers and consumers
       of PWM signals. A controller that provides one or more PWM signals is
       registered as <structname>struct pwm_chip</structname>. Providers are
       expected to embed this structure in a driver-specific structure. This
       structure contains fields that describe a particular chip.
     </para>
     <para>
       A chip exposes one or more PWM signal sources, each of which exposed
       as a <structname>struct pwm_device</structname>. Operations can be
       performed on PWM devices to control the period, duty cycle, polarity
       and active state of the signal.
     </para>
     <para>
       Note that PWM devices are exclusive resources: they can always only be
       used by one consumer at a time.

	<chapter id="fbdev">
	<title>Frame Buffer Library</title>

	<para>
	The frame buffer drivers depend heavily on four data structures.
	These structures are declared in include/linux/fb.h. They are
	fb_info, fb_var_screeninfo, fb_fix_screeninfo and fb_monospecs.
	The last three can be made available to and from userland.
	</para>

	<para>
	fb_info defines the current state of a particular video card.
	Inside fb_info, there exists a fb_ops structure which is a
	collection of needed functions to make fbdev and fbcon work.
	fb_info is only visible to the kernel.
	</para>

	<para>
	fb_var_screeninfo is used to describe the features of a video card
	that are user defined. With fb_var_screeninfo, things such as
	depth and the resolution may be defined.
	</para>

	<para>
	The next structure is fb_fix_screeninfo. This defines the
	properties of a card that are created when a mode is set and can't
	be changed otherwise. A good example of this is the start of the
	frame buffer memory. This "locks" the address of the frame buffer
	memory, so that it cannot be changed or moved.
	</para>

	<para>
	The last structure is fb_monospecs. In the old API, there was
	little importance for fb_monospecs. This allowed for forbidden things
	such as setting a mode of 800x600 on a fix frequency monitor. With
	the new API, fb_monospecs prevents such things, and if used
	correctly, can prevent a monitor from being cooked. fb_monospecs
	will not be useful until kernels 2.5.x.

	<chapter id="spi">
	<title>Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)</title>
	<para>
	SPI is the "Serial Peripheral Interface", widely used with
	embedded systems because it is a simple and efficient
	interface: basically a multiplexed shift register.
	Its three signal wires hold a clock (SCK, often in the range
	of 1-20 MHz), a "Master Out, Slave In" (MOSI) data line, and
	a "Master In, Slave Out" (MISO) data line.
	SPI is a full duplex protocol; for each bit shifted out the
	MOSI line (one per clock) another is shifted in on the MISO line.
	Those bits are assembled into words of various sizes on the
	way to and from system memory.
	An additional chipselect line is usually active-low (nCS);
	four signals are normally used for each peripheral, plus
	sometimes an interrupt.
	</para>
	<para>
	The SPI bus facilities listed here provide a generalized
	interface to declare SPI busses and devices, manage them
	according to the standard Linux driver model, and perform
	input/output operations.
	At this time, only "master" side interfaces are supported,
	where Linux talks to SPI peripherals and does not implement
	such a peripheral itself.
	(Interfaces to support implementing SPI slaves would
	necessarily look different.)
	</para>
	<para>
	The programming interface is structured around two kinds of driver,
	and two kinds of device.
	A "Controller Driver" abstracts the controller hardware, which may
	be as simple as a set of GPIO pins or as complex as a pair of FIFOs
	connected to dual DMA engines on the other side of the SPI shift
	register (maximizing throughput). Such drivers bridge between
	whatever bus they sit on (often the platform bus) and SPI, and
	expose the SPI side of their device as a
	<structname>struct spi_master</structname>.
	SPI devices are children of that master, represented as a
	<structname>struct spi_device</structname> and manufactured from
	<structname>struct spi_board_info</structname> descriptors which
	are usually provided by board-specific initialization code.
	A <structname>struct spi_driver</structname> is called a
	"Protocol Driver", and is bound to a spi_device using normal
	driver model calls.
	</para>
	<para>
	The I/O model is a set of queued messages. Protocol drivers
	submit one or more <structname>struct spi_message</structname>
	objects, which are processed and completed asynchronously.
	(There are synchronous wrappers, however.) Messages are
	built from one or more <structname>struct spi_transfer</structname>
	objects, each of which wraps a full duplex SPI transfer.
	A variety of protocol tweaking options are needed, because
	different chips adopt very different policies for how they
	use the bits transferred with SPI.

	<chapter id="i2c">
	<title>I<superscript>2</superscript>C and SMBus Subsystem</title>

	<para>
	I<superscript>2</superscript>C (or without fancy typography, "I2C")
	is an acronym for the "Inter-IC" bus, a simple bus protocol which is
	widely used where low data rate communications suffice.
	Since it's also a licensed trademark, some vendors use another
	name (such as "Two-Wire Interface", TWI) for the same bus.
	I2C only needs two signals (SCL for clock, SDA for data), conserving
	board real estate and minimizing signal quality issues.
	Most I2C devices use seven bit addresses, and bus speeds of up
	to 400 kHz; there's a high speed extension (3.4 MHz) that's not yet
	found wide use.
	I2C is a multi-master bus; open drain signaling is used to
	arbitrate between masters, as well as to handshake and to
	synchronize clocks from slower clients.
	</para>

	<para>
	The Linux I2C programming interfaces support only the master
	side of bus interactions, not the slave side.
	The programming interface is structured around two kinds of driver,
	and two kinds of device.
	An I2C "Adapter Driver" abstracts the controller hardware; it binds
	to a physical device (perhaps a PCI device or platform_device) and
	exposes a <structname>struct i2c_adapter</structname> representing
	each I2C bus segment it manages.
	On each I2C bus segment will be I2C devices represented by a
	<structname>struct i2c_client</structname>. Those devices will
	be bound to a <structname>struct i2c_driver</structname>,
	which should follow the standard Linux driver model.
	(At this writing, a legacy model is more widely used.)
	There are functions to perform various I2C protocol operations; at
	this writing all such functions are usable only from task context.
	</para>

	<para>
	The System Management Bus (SMBus) is a sibling protocol. Most SMBus
	systems are also I2C conformant. The electrical constraints are
	tighter for SMBus, and it standardizes particular protocol messages
	and idioms. Controllers that support I2C can also support most
	SMBus operations, but SMBus controllers don't support all the protocol
	options that an I2C controller will.
	There are functions to perform various SMBus protocol operations,
	either using I2C primitives or by issuing SMBus commands to
	i2c_adapter devices which don't support those I2C operations.

	<para>
	Pulse-width modulation is a modulation technique primarily used to
	control power supplied to electrical devices.
	</para>
	<para>
	The PWM framework provides an abstraction for providers and consumers
	of PWM signals. A controller that provides one or more PWM signals is

	expected to embed this structure in a driver-specific structure. This
