Update links in the documentation and in-code comments which point to the datasheet and schematic. The current links don't work because National Semiconductor (which is the manufacturer of this board and lm70) has been a part of Texas Instruments since 2011 and hence http://www.national.com/ doesn't work anymore.

Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
This driver provides glue code connecting a National Semiconductor LM70 LLP
|
|
temperature sensor evaluation board to the kernel's SPI core subsystem.
|
|
|
|
This is a SPI master controller driver. It can be used in conjunction with
|
|
(layered under) the LM70 logical driver (a "SPI protocol driver").
|
|
In effect, this driver turns the parallel port interface on the eval board
|
|
into a SPI bus with a single device, which will be driven by the generic
|
|
LM70 driver (drivers/hwmon/lm70.c).
|
|
|

|
Hardware Interfacing
|
|
--------------------
|
|
The schematic for this particular board (the LM70EVAL-LLP) is
|
|
available (on page 4) here:

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
The hardware interfacing on the LM70 LLP eval board is as follows:

======== == ========= ==========
|
|
|
|
Note that since the LM70 uses a "3-wire" variant of SPI, the SI/SO pin
|
|
is connected to both pin D7 (as Master Out) and Select (as Master In)
|
|
using an arrangement that lets either the parport or the LM70 pull the
|
|
pin low. This can't be shared with true SPI devices, but other 3-wire
|
|
devices might share the same SI/SO pin.
|
|
|
|
The bitbanger routine in this driver (lm70_txrx) is called back from
|
|
the bound "hwmon/lm70" protocol driver through its sysfs hook, using a
|
|
spi_write_then_read() call. It performs Mode 0 (SPI/Microwire) bitbanging.
|
|
The lm70 driver then interprets the resulting digital temperature value
|
|
and exports it through sysfs.
|
|
|
|
A "gotcha": National Semiconductor's LM70 LLP eval board circuit schematic
|
|
shows that the SI/O line from the LM70 chip is connected to the base of a
|
|
transistor Q1 (and also a pullup, and a zener diode to D7); while the
|
|
collector is tied to VCC.
|
|
|
|
Interpreting this circuit, when the LM70 SI/O line is High (or tristate
|
|
and not grounded by the host via D7), the transistor conducts and switches
|
|
the collector to zero, which is reflected on pin 13 of the DB25 parport
|
|
connector. When SI/O is Low (driven by the LM70 or the host) on the other
|
|
hand, the transistor is cut off and the voltage tied to its collector is
|
|
reflected on pin 13 as a High level.
|
|
|
|
So: the getmiso inline routine in this driver takes this fact into account,
|
|
inverting the value read at pin 13.
