1 SI476x Driver Readme

5 TODO for the driver
6 ------------------------------
8 - According to the SiLabs' datasheet it is possible to update the
9 firmware of the radio chip in the run-time, thus bringing it to the
10 most recent version. Unfortunately I couldn't find any mentioning of
11 the said firmware update for the old chips that I tested the driver
12 against, so for chips like that the driver only exposes the old
13 functionality.
16 Parameters exposed over debugfs
17 -------------------------------
18 SI476x allow user to get multiple characteristics that can be very
19 useful for EoL testing/RF performance estimation, parameters that have
20 very little to do with V4L2 subsystem. Such parameters are exposed via
21 debugfs and can be accessed via regular file I/O operations.
23 The drivers exposes following files:
25 * /sys/kernel/debug/<device-name>/acf
26 This file contains ACF(Automatically Controlled Features) status
27 information. The contents of the file is binary data of the
28 following layout:
