What: /sys/class/firmware/.../data

Date: July 2022

KernelVersion: 5.19

Contact: Russ Weight <russ.weight@linux.dev>
|
|
Description: The data sysfs file is used for firmware-fallback and for
|
|
firmware uploads. Cat a firmware image to this sysfs file
|
|
after you echo 1 to the loading sysfs file. When the firmware
|
|
image write is complete, echo 0 to the loading sysfs file. This
|
|
sequence will signal the completion of the firmware write and
|
|
signal the lower-level driver that the firmware data is
|
|
available.

|
|
Description: Write-only. For firmware uploads, write a "1" to this file to
|
|
request that the transfer of firmware data to the lower-level
|
|
device be canceled. This request will be rejected (EBUSY) if
|
|
the update cannot be canceled (e.g. a FLASH write is in
|
|
progress) or (ENODEV) if there is no firmware update in progress.

What: /sys/class/firmware/.../error
|
|
Date: July 2022
|
|
KernelVersion: 5.19
|
|
Contact: Russ Weight <russ.weight@linux.dev>
|
|
Description: Read-only. Returns a string describing a failed firmware
|
|
upload. This string will be in the form of <STATUS>:<ERROR>,
|
|
where <STATUS> will be one of the status strings described
|
|
for the status sysfs file and <ERROR> will be one of the
|
|
following: "hw-error", "timeout", "user-abort", "device-busy",
|
|
"invalid-file-size", "read-write-error", "flash-wearout". The
|
|
error sysfs file is only meaningful when the current firmware
|
|
upload status is "idle". If this file is read while a firmware
|
|
transfer is in progress, then the read will fail with EBUSY.

|
|
Description: The loading sysfs file is used for both firmware-fallback and
|
|
for firmware uploads. Echo 1 onto the loading file to indicate
|
|
you are writing a firmware file to the data sysfs node. Echo
|
|
-1 onto this file to abort the data write or echo 0 onto this
|
|
file to indicate that the write is complete. For firmware
|
|
uploads, the zero value also triggers the transfer of the
|
|
firmware data to the lower-level device driver.

|
Date: July 2022

|
KernelVersion: 5.19
|
|
Contact: Russ Weight <russ.weight@linux.dev>
|
|
Description: Read-only. For firmware upload, this file contains the size
|
|
of the firmware data that remains to be transferred to the
|
|
lower-level device driver. The size value is initialized to
|
|
the full size of the firmware image that was previously
|
|
written to the data sysfs file. This value is periodically
|
|
updated during the "transferring" phase of the firmware
|
|
upload.
|
|
Format: "%u".

Contact: Russ Weight <russ.weight@linux.dev>
|
|
Description: Read-only. Returns a string describing the current status of
|
|
a firmware upload. The string will be one of the following:
|
|
idle, "receiving", "preparing", "transferring", "programming".

|
Description: This file supports the timeout mechanism for firmware
|
|
fallback. This file has no affect on firmware uploads. For
|
|
more information on timeouts please see the documentation
|
|
for firmware fallback.
