25 Preparing the setup with a STE modem
26 ====================================
28 If you are working on integration of CAIF you should make sure
29 that the kernel is built with module support.
31 There are some things that need to be tweaked to get the host TTY correctly
32 set up to talk to the modem.
33 Since the CAIF stack is running in the kernel and we want to use the existing
34 TTY, we are installing our physical serial driver as a line discipline above
37 To achieve this we need to install the N_CAIF ldisc from user space.
38 The benefit is that we can hook up to any TTY.
40 The use of Start-of-frame-extension (STX) must also be set as
41 module parameter "ser_use_stx".
43 Normally Frame Checksum is always used on UART, but this is also provided as a
44 module parameter "ser_use_fcs".
48 $ modprobe caif_serial ser_ttyname=/dev/ttyS0 ser_use_stx=yes
49 $ ifconfig caif_ttyS0 up
52 There is a limitation in Android shell.
53 It only accepts one argument to insmod/modprobe!
58 There are debugfs parameters provided for serial communication.
59 /sys/kernel/debug/caif_serial/<tty-name>/
61 * ser_state: Prints the bit-mask status where
63 - 0x02 means SENDING, this is a transient state.
64 - 0x10 means FLOW_OFF_SENT, i.e. the previous frame has not been sent
65 and is blocking further send operation. Flow OFF has been propagated
66 to all CAIF Channels using this TTY.
68 * tty_status: Prints the bit-mask tty status information
70 - 0x01 - tty->warned is on.
71 - 0x02 - tty->low_latency is on.
72 - 0x04 - tty->packed is on.
73 - 0x08 - tty->flow_stopped is on.
74 - 0x10 - tty->hw_stopped is on.
75 - 0x20 - tty->stopped is on.
77 * last_tx_msg: Binary blob Prints the last transmitted frame.
79 This can be printed with::
81 $od --format=x1 /sys/kernel/debug/caif_serial/<tty>/last_rx_msg.
83 The first two tx messages sent look like this. Note: The initial
84 byte 02 is start of frame extension (STX) used for re-syncing
89 0000000 02 05 00 00 03 01 d2 02
94 Command:Enumeration(1)
100 0000000 02 07 00 00 00 21 a1 00 48 df
105 Command:Channel Setup(1)
107 Priority and Link-ID(1)
111 * last_rx_msg: Prints the last transmitted frame.
113 The RX messages for LinkSetup look almost identical but they have the
114 bit 0x20 set in the command bit, and Channel Setup has added one byte
115 before Checksum containing Channel ID.
118 Several CAIF Messages might be concatenated. The maximum debug
119 buffer size is 128 bytes.
124 - last_tx_msg contains channel setup message and last_rx_msg is empty ->
125 The host seems to be able to send over the UART, at least the CAIF ldisc get
126 notified that sending is completed.
128 - last_tx_msg contains enumeration message and last_rx_msg is empty ->
129 The host is not able to send the message from UART, the tty has not been
130 able to complete the transmit operation.
132 - if /sys/kernel/debug/caif_serial/<tty>/tty_status is non-zero there
133 might be problems transmitting over UART.
135 E.g. host and modem wiring is not correct you will typically see
136 tty_status = 0x10 (hw_stopped) and ser_state = 0x10 (FLOW_OFF_SENT).
138 You will probably see the enumeration message in last_tx_message
139 and empty last_rx_message.
