11 TMU controller Description:
12 ---------------------------
14 This driver allows to read temperature inside SAMSUNG EXYNOS4/5 series of SoC.
16 The chip only exposes the measured 8-bit temperature code value
18 Temperature can be taken from the temperature code.
19 There are three equations converting from temperature to temperature code.
21 The three equations are:
23 Tc = (T - 25) * (TI2 - TI1) / (85 - 25) + TI1
31 Tc: Temperature code, T: Temperature,
32 TI1: Trimming info for 25 degree Celsius (stored at TRIMINFO register)
33 Temperature code measured at 25 degree Celsius which is unchanged
34 TI2: Trimming info for 85 degree Celsius (stored at TRIMINFO register)
35 Temperature code measured at 85 degree Celsius which is unchanged
37 TMU(Thermal Management Unit) in EXYNOS4/5 generates interrupt
38 when temperature exceeds pre-defined levels.
39 The maximum number of configurable threshold is five.
40 The threshold levels are defined as follows:
41 Level_0: current temperature > trigger_level_0 + threshold
42 Level_1: current temperature > trigger_level_1 + threshold
43 Level_2: current temperature > trigger_level_2 + threshold
44 Level_3: current temperature > trigger_level_3 + threshold
46 The threshold and each trigger_level are set
47 through the corresponding registers.
49 When an interrupt occurs, this driver notify kernel thermal framework
50 with the function exynos_report_trigger.
51 Although an interrupt condition for level_0 can be set,
52 it can be used to synchronize the cooling action.
54 TMU driver description:
55 -----------------------
57 The exynos thermal driver is structured as,
59 Kernel Core thermal framework
60 (thermal_core.c, step_wise.c, cpu_cooling.c)
64 TMU configuration data -------> TMU Driver <------> Exynos Core thermal wrapper
65 (exynos_tmu_data.c) (exynos_tmu.c) (exynos_thermal_common.c)
66 (exynos_tmu_data.h) (exynos_tmu.h) (exynos_thermal_common.h)
68 a) TMU configuration data: This consist of TMU register offsets/bitfields
69 described through structure exynos_tmu_registers. Also several
70 other platform data (struct exynos_tmu_platform_data) members
71 are used to configure the TMU.
72 b) TMU driver: This component initialises the TMU controller and sets different
73 thresholds. It invokes core thermal implementation with the call
74 exynos_report_trigger.
75 c) Exynos Core thermal wrapper: This provides 3 wrapper function to use the
76 Kernel core thermal framework. They are exynos_unregister_thermal,
77 exynos_register_thermal and exynos_report_trigger.
