+Kernel driver w1-uart
+=====================
+
+Author: Christoph Winklhofer <cj.winklhofer@gmail.com>

+
+Description
+-----------
+
+UART 1-Wire bus driver. The driver utilizes the UART interface via the
+Serial Device Bus to create the 1-Wire timing patterns as described in
+the document `"Using a UART to Implement a 1-Wire Bus Master"`_.
+
+.. _"Using a UART to Implement a 1-Wire Bus Master": https://www.analog.com/en/technical-articles/using-a-uart-to-implement-a-1wire-bus-master.html
+
+In short, the UART peripheral must support full-duplex and operate in
+open-drain mode. The timing patterns are generated by a specific
+combination of baud-rate and transmitted byte, which corresponds to a
+1-Wire read bit, write bit or reset pulse.
+
+For instance the timing pattern for a 1-Wire reset and presence detect uses
+the baud-rate 9600, i.e. 104.2 us per bit. The transmitted byte 0xf0 over
+UART (least significant bit first, start-bit low) sets the reset low time
+for 1-Wire to 521 us. A present 1-Wire device changes the received byte by
+pulling the line low, which is used by the driver to evaluate the result of
+the 1-Wire operation.
+
+Similar for a 1-Wire read bit or write bit, which uses the baud-rate
+115200, i.e. 8.7 us per bit. The transmitted byte 0x80 is used for a
+Write-0 operation (low time 69.6us) and the byte 0xff for Read-0, Read-1
+and Write-1 (low time 8.7us).
+
+The default baud-rate for reset and presence detection is 9600 and for
+a 1-Wire read or write operation 115200. In case the actual baud-rate
+is different from the requested one, the transmitted byte is adapted
+to generate the 1-Wire timing patterns.
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+Specify the UART 1-wire bus in the device tree by adding the single child
+onewire to the serial node (e.g. uart0). For example:
+::
+
+  @uart0 {
+    ...
+    onewire {
+      compatible = "w1-uart";
+    };
+  };
