^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 23) Description
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 24) -----------
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 25)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 26) Versatile Express platform (http://www.arm.com/versatileexpress/) is a
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 27) reference & prototyping system for ARM Ltd. processors. It can be set up
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 28) from a wide range of boards, each of them containing (apart of the main
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 29) chip/FPGA) a number of microcontrollers responsible for platform
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 30) configuration and control. Theses microcontrollers can also monitor the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 31) board and its environment by a number of internal and external sensors,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 32) providing information about power lines voltages and currents, board
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 33) temperature and power usage. Some of them also calculate consumed energy
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 34) and provide a cumulative use counter.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 35)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 36) The configuration devices are _not_ memory mapped and must be accessed
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 37) via a custom interface, abstracted by the "vexpress_config" API.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 38)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 39) As these devices are non-discoverable, they must be described in a Device
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 40) Tree passed to the kernel. Details of the DT binding for them can be found
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 41) in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwmon/vexpress.txt.
