Cat a firmware image to this sysfs file + after you echo 1 to the loading sysfs file. When the firmware + image write is complete, echo 0 to the loading sysfs file. This + sequence will signal the completion of the firmware write and + signal the lower-level driver that the firmware data is + available. + +What: /sys/class/firmware/.../cancel +Date: July 2022 +KernelVersion: 5.19 +Contact: Russ Weight <russ.weight@linux.dev> +Description: Write-only. For firmware uploads, write a "1" to this file to + request that the transfer of firmware data to the lower-level + device be canceled. This request will be rejected (EBUSY) if + the update cannot be canceled (e.g. a FLASH write is in + progress) or (ENODEV) if there is no firmware update in progress. + +What: /sys/class/firmware/.../error +Date: July 2022 +KernelVersion: 5.19 +Contact: Russ Weight <russ.weight@linux.dev> +Description: Read-only. Returns a string describing a failed firmware + upload. This string will be in the form of <STATUS>:<ERROR>, + where <STATUS> will be one of the status strings described + for the status sysfs file and <ERROR> will be one of the + following: "hw-error", "timeout", "user-abort", "device-busy", + "invalid-file-size", "read-write-error", "flash-wearout". The + error sysfs file is only meaningful when the current firmware + upload status is "idle". If this file is read while a firmware + transfer is in progress, then the read will fail with EBUSY. + +What: /sys/class/firmware/.../loading +Date: July 2022 +KernelVersion: 5.19 +Contact: Russ Weight <russ.weight@linux.dev> +Description: The loading sysfs file is used for both firmware-fallback and + for firmware uploads. Echo 1 onto the loading file to indicate + you are writing a firmware file to the data sysfs node. Echo + -1 onto this file to abort the data write or echo 0 onto this + file to indicate that the write is complete. For firmware + uploads, the zero value also triggers the transfer of the + firmware data to the lower-level device driver. + +What: /sys/class/firmware/.../remaining_size +Date: July 2022 +KernelVersion: 5.19 +Contact: Russ Weight <russ.weight@linux.dev> +Description: Read-only. For firmware upload, this file contains the size + of the firmware data that remains to be transferred to the + lower-level device driver. The size value is initialized to + the full size of the firmware image that was previously + written to the data sysfs file. This value is periodically + updated during the "transferring" phase of the firmware + upload. + Format: "%u". + +What: /sys/class/firmware/.../status +Date: July 2022 +KernelVersion: 5.19 +Contact: Russ Weight <russ.weight@linux.dev> +Description: Read-only. Returns a string describing the current status of + a firmware upload. The string will be one of the following: + idle, "receiving", "preparing", "transferring", "programming". + +What: /sys/class/firmware/.../timeout +Date: July 2022 +KernelVersion: 5.19 +Contact: Russ Weight <russ.weight@linux.dev> +Description: This file supports the timeout mechanism for firmware + fallback. This file has no affect on firmware uploads. For + more information on timeouts please see the documentation + for firmware fallback. |
