SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-or-later 2 3Kernel driver sbrmi 4=================== 5 6Supported hardware: 7 8 * Sideband Remote Management Interface (SB-RMI) compliant AMD SoC 9 device connected to the BMC via the APML. 10 11 Prefix: 'sbrmi' 12 13 Addresses scanned: This driver doesn't support address scanning. 14 15 To instantiate this driver on an AMD CPU with SB-RMI 16 support, the i2c bus number would be the bus connected from the board 17 management controller (BMC) to the CPU. 18 The SMBus address is really 7 bits. Some vendors and the SMBus 19 specification show the address as 8 bits, left justified with the R/W 20 bit as a write (0) making bit 0. Some vendors use only the 7 bits 21 to describe the address. 22 As mentioned in AMD's APML specification, The SB-RMI address is 23 normally 78h(0111 100W) or 3Ch(011 1100) for socket 0 and 70h(0111 000W) 24 or 38h(011 1000) for socket 1, but it could vary based on hardware 25 address select pins. 26 27 Datasheet: The SB-RMI interface and protocol along with the Advanced 28 Platform Management Link (APML) Specification is available 29 as part of the open source SoC register reference at: 30 31 https://www.amd.com/en/support/tech-docs?keyword=55898 32 33Author: Akshay Gupta <akshay.gupta@amd.com> 34 35Description 36----------- 37 38The APML provides a way to communicate with the SB Remote Management interface 39(SB-RMI) module from the external SMBus master that can be used to report socket 40power on AMD platforms using mailbox command and resembles a typical 8-pin remote 41power sensor's I2C interface to BMC. 42 43This driver implements current power with power cap and power cap max. 44 45sysfs-Interface 46--------------- 47Power sensors can be queried and set via the standard ``hwmon`` interface 48on ``sysfs``, under the directory ``/sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX`` for some value 49of ``X`` (search for the ``X`` such that ``/sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX/name`` has 50content ``sbrmi``) 51 52================ ===== ======================================================== 53Name Perm Description 54================ ===== ======================================================== 55power1_input RO Current Power consumed 56power1_cap RW Power limit can be set between 0 and power1_cap_max 57power1_cap_max RO Maximum powerlimit calculated and reported by the SMU FW 58================ ===== ======================================================== 59 60The following example show how the 'Power' attribute from the i2c-addresses 61can be monitored using the userspace utilities like ``sensors`` binary:: 62 63 # sensors 64 sbrmi-i2c-1-38 65 Adapter: bcm2835 I2C adapter 66 power1: 61.00 W (cap = 225.00 W) 67 68 sbrmi-i2c-1-3c 69 Adapter: bcm2835 I2C adapter 70 power1: 28.39 W (cap = 224.77 W) 71 # 72 73Also, Below shows how get and set the values from sysfs entries individually:: 74 # cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/power1_cap_max 75 225000000 76 77 # echo 180000000 > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/power1_cap 78 # cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/power1_cap 79 180000000
