| 10 | ----------- |
| 11 | |
| 12 | The w1_ds2406 driver allows connected devices to be switched on and off. |
| 13 | These chips also provide 128 bytes of OTP EPROM, but reading/writing it is |
| 14 | not supported. In TSOC-6 form, the DS2406 provides two switch outputs and |
| 15 | can be provided with power on a dedicated input. In TO-92 form, it provides |
| 16 | one output and uses parasitic power only. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | The driver provides two sysfs files. state is readable; it gives the |
| 19 | current state of each switch, with PIO A in bit 0 and PIO B in bit 1. The |
| 20 | driver ORs this state with 0x30, so shell scripts get an ASCII 0/1/2/3 to |
| 21 | work with. output is writable; bits 0 and 1 control PIO A and B, |
| 22 | respectively. Bits 2-7 are ignored, so it's safe to write ASCII data. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | CRCs are checked on read and write. Failed checks cause an I/O error to be |
| 25 | returned. On a failed write, the switch status is not changed. |
