=== Start ===
|
||
|
|
If you have compiled CAIF for modules do:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$modprobe crc_ccitt
|
||
|
|
$modprobe caif
|
||
|
|
$modprobe caif_socket
|
||
|
|
$modprobe chnl_net
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=== Preparing the setup with a STE modem ===
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are working on integration of CAIF you should make sure
|
||
|
|
that the kernel is built with module support.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are some things that need to be tweaked to get the host TTY correctly
|
||
|
|
set up to talk to the modem.
|
||
|
|
Since the CAIF stack is running in the kernel and we want to use the existing
|
||
|
|
TTY, we are installing our physical serial driver as a line discipline above
|
||
|
|
the TTY device.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To achieve this we need to install the N_CAIF ldisc from user space.
|
||
|
|
The benefit is that we can hook up to any TTY.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The use of Start-of-frame-extension (STX) must also be set as
|
||
|
|
module parameter "ser_use_stx".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Normally Frame Checksum is always used on UART, but this is also provided as a
|
||
|
|
module parameter "ser_use_fcs".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ modprobe caif_serial ser_ttyname=/dev/ttyS0 ser_use_stx=yes
|
||
|
|
$ ifconfig caif_ttyS0 up
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PLEASE NOTE: There is a limitation in Android shell.
|
||
|
|
It only accepts one argument to insmod/modprobe!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=== Trouble shooting ===
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are debugfs parameters provided for serial communication.
|
||
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/caif_serial/<tty-name>/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ser_state: Prints the bit-mask status where
|
||
|
|
- 0x02 means SENDING, this is a transient state.
|
||
|
|
- 0x10 means FLOW_OFF_SENT, i.e. the previous frame has not been sent
|
||
|
|
and is blocking further send operation. Flow OFF has been propagated
|
||
|
|
to all CAIF Channels using this TTY.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* tty_status: Prints the bit-mask tty status information
|
||
|
|
- 0x01 - tty->warned is on.
|
||
|
|
- 0x02 - tty->low_latency is on.
|
||
|
|
- 0x04 - tty->packed is on.
|
||
|
|
- 0x08 - tty->flow_stopped is on.
|
||
|
|
- 0x10 - tty->hw_stopped is on.
|
||
|
|
- 0x20 - tty->stopped is on.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* last_tx_msg: Binary blob Prints the last transmitted frame.
|
||
|
|
This can be printed with
|
||
|
|
$od --format=x1 /sys/kernel/debug/caif_serial/<tty>/last_rx_msg.
|
||
|
|
The first two tx messages sent look like this. Note: The initial
|
||
|
|
byte 02 is start of frame extension (STX) used for re-syncing
|
||
|
|
upon errors.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Enumeration:
|
||
|
|
0000000 02 05 00 00 03 01 d2 02

Endpoint(1)
|

|
|
Checksum(2)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* last_rx_msg: Prints the last transmitted frame.
|
||
|
|
The RX messages for LinkSetup look almost identical but they have the
|
||
|
|
bit 0x20 set in the command bit, and Channel Setup has added one byte
|
||
|
|
before Checksum containing Channel ID.
|
||
|
|
NOTE: Several CAIF Messages might be concatenated. The maximum debug
|
||
|
|
buffer size is 128 bytes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
== Error Scenarios:
|
||
|
|
- last_tx_msg contains channel setup message and last_rx_msg is empty ->
|
||
|
|
The host seems to be able to send over the UART, at least the CAIF ldisc get
|
||
|
|
notified that sending is completed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- last_tx_msg contains enumeration message and last_rx_msg is empty ->
|
||
|
|
The host is not able to send the message from UART, the tty has not been
|
||
|
|
able to complete the transmit operation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- if /sys/kernel/debug/caif_serial/<tty>/tty_status is non-zero there
|
||
|
|
might be problems transmitting over UART.
|
||
|
|
E.g. host and modem wiring is not correct you will typically see
|
||
|
|
tty_status = 0x10 (hw_stopped) and ser_state = 0x10 (FLOW_OFF_SENT).
|
||
|
|
You will probably see the enumeration message in last_tx_message
|
||
|
|
and empty last_rx_message.
