C2port implements a two wire serial communication protocol (bit banging) designed to enable in-system programming, debugging, and boundary-scan testing on low pin-count Silicon Labs devices. Currently this code supports only flash programming through sysfs interface but extensions shoud be easy to add.

Overview
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
This driver implements the support for Linux of Silicon Labs (Silabs)
|
|
C2 Interface used for in-system programming of micro controllers.
|
|
|
|
By using this driver you can reprogram the in-system flash without EC2
|
|
or EC3 debug adapter. This solution is also useful in those systems
|
|
where the micro controller is connected via special GPIOs pins.

however it implements a two wire serial communication protocol (bit
|
|
banging) designed to enable in-system programming, debugging, and
|
|
boundary-scan testing on low pin-count Silicon Labs devices. Currently
|
|
this code supports only flash programming but extensions are easy to
|
|
add.

Using the driver
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Once the driver is loaded you can use sysfs support to get C2port's
|
|
info or read/write in-system flash.
|
|
|
|
# ls /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/
|
|
access flash_block_size flash_erase rev_id
|
|
dev_id flash_blocks_num flash_size subsystem/
|
|
flash_access flash_data reset uevent
|
|
|
|
Initially the C2port access is disabled since you hardware may have
|
|
such lines multiplexed with other devices so, to get access to the
|
|
C2port, you need the command:
|
|
|
|
# echo 1 > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/access
|
|
|
|
after that you should read the device ID and revision ID of the
|
|
connected micro controller:
|
|
|
|
# cat /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/dev_id
|
|
8
|
|
# cat /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/rev_id
|
|
1
|
|
|
|
However, for security reasons, the in-system flash access in not
|
|
enabled yet, to do so you need the command:
|
|
|
|
# echo 1 > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/flash_access
|
|
|
|
After that you can read the whole flash:
|
|
|
|
# cat /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/flash_data > image
|
|
|
|
erase it:
|
|
|
|
# echo 1 > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/flash_erase
|
|
|
|
and write it:
|
|
|
|
# cat image > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/flash_data
|
|
|
|
after writing you have to reset the device to execute the new code:
|
|
|
|
# echo 1 > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/reset
|
