What: /sys/class/extcon/.../ Date: December 2011 Contact: MyungJoo Ham Description: Provide a place in sysfs for the extcon objects. This allows accessing extcon specific variables. The name of extcon object denoted as ... is the name given with extcon_dev_register. One extcon device denotes a single external connector port. An external connector may have multiple cables attached simultaneously. Many of docks, cradles, and accessory cables have such capability. For example, the 30-pin port of Nuri board (/arch/arm/mach-exynos) may have both HDMI and Charger attached, or analog audio, video, and USB cables attached simulteneously. If there are cables mutually exclusive with each other, such binary relations may be expressed with extcon_dev's mutually_exclusive array. What: /sys/class/extcon/.../name Date: December 2011 Contact: MyungJoo Ham Description: The /sys/class/extcon/.../name shows the name of the extcon object. If the extcon object has an optional callback "show_name" defined, the callback will provide the name with this sysfs node. What: /sys/class/extcon/.../state Date: December 2011 Contact: MyungJoo Ham Description: The /sys/class/extcon/.../state shows and stores the cable attach/detach information of the corresponding extcon object. If the extcon objecct has an optional callback "show_state" defined, the showing function is overriden with the optional callback. If the default callback for showing function is used, the format is like this: # cat state USB_OTG=1 HDMI=0 TA=1 EAR_JACK=0 # In this example, the extcon device have USB_OTG and TA cables attached and HDMI and EAR_JACK cables detached. There are two methods to update state of extcon. Method 1. echo CABLE_NAME [0|1] > state Method 2. echo 0xHEX > state Method 1 updates the state (0 or 1) of the corresponding cable (either the name or index of the cable). Method 2 updates the whole state of the extcon dev. Inputs of all the methods are required to meet the mutually_exclusive contidions if they exist. What: /sys/class/extcon/.../mutually_exclusive Date: December 2011 Contact: MyungJoo Ham Description: Shows the relations of mutually exclusiveness. For example, if the mutually_exclusive array of extcon_dev is {0x3, 0x5, 0xC, 0x0}, the, the output is: # cat mutually_exclusive 0x3 0x5 0xC #
