High Speed Synchronous Interface (HSI) is a full duplex, low latency protocol,
|
2016-09-06 21:15:24 +08:00
|
|
|
that is optimized for die-level interconnect between an Application Processor
|
|
|
|
|
and a Baseband chipset. It has been specified by the MIPI alliance in 2003 and
|
|
|
|
|
implemented by multiple vendors since then.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The HSI interface supports full duplex communication over multiple channels
|
|
|
|
|
(typically 8) and is capable of reaching speeds up to 200 Mbit/s.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The serial protocol uses two signals, DATA and FLAG as combined data and clock
|
|
|
|
|
signals and an additional READY signal for flow control. An additional WAKE
|
|
|
|
|
signal can be used to wakeup the chips from standby modes. The signals are
|
|
|
|
|
commonly prefixed by AC for signals going from the application die to the
|
|
|
|
|
cellular die and CA for signals going the other way around.

HSI Subsystem in Linux
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the Linux kernel the hsi subsystem is supposed to be used for HSI devices.
|
|
|
|
|
The hsi subsystem contains drivers for hsi controllers including support for
|
|
|
|
|
multi-port controllers and provides a generic API for using the HSI ports.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It also contains HSI client drivers, which make use of the generic API to
|
|
|
|
|
implement a protocol used on the HSI interface. These client drivers can
|
|
|
|
|
use an arbitrary number of channels.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hsi-char Device
|
|
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each port automatically registers a generic client driver called hsi_char,
|
2023-01-30 07:10:46 +08:00
|
|
|
which provides a character device for userspace representing the HSI port.
|
2016-09-06 21:15:24 +08:00
|
|
|
It can be used to communicate via HSI from userspace. Userspace may
|
|
|
|
|
configure the hsi_char device using the following ioctl commands:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HSC_RESET
|
|
|
|
|
flush the HSI port
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HSC_SET_PM
|
|
|
|
|
enable or disable the client.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
