DESCRIPTION¶

The PWMBUS (Pulse-Width Modulation) interface allows a device driver to register to a global bus so other devices in the kernel can use them in a generic way.

For all pwmbus methods, the period argument is the duration in nanoseconds of one complete on-off cycle, and the duty argument is the duration in nanoseconds of the on portion of that cycle.

Some PWM hardware is organized as a single controller with multiple channels. Channel numbers count up from zero. When multiple channels are present, they sometimes share a common clock or other resources. In such cases, changing the period or duty cycle of any one channel may affect other channels within the hardware which share the same resources. Consult the documentation for the underlying PWM hardware device driver for details on channels that share resources.

INTERFACE¶

PWMBUS_CHANNEL_CONFIG(device_t bus, int channel, uint64_t period, uint64_t duty)

Configure the period and duty (in nanoseconds) in the PWM controller on the bus for the specified channel. Returns 0 on success or EINVAL if the values are not supported by the controller or EBUSY if the PWMBUS controller is in use and does not support changing the value on the fly.

PWMBUS_CHANNEL_COUNT(device_t bus, int *nchannel)

Get the number of channels supported by the controller.

PWMBUS_CHANNEL_ENABLE(device_t bus, int channel, bool enable)

Enable the PWM channel.

PWMBUS_CHANNEL_GET_CONFIG(device_t bus, int channel, uint64_t *period, uint64_t *duty)

Get the current configuration of the period and duty for the specified channel.

PWMBUS_CHANNEL_GET_FLAGS(device_t bus, int channel, uint32_t *flags)

Get the current flags for the channel. If the driver or controller does not support this, a default method returns a flags value of zero.

PWMBUS_CHANNEL_IS_ENABLED(device_t bus, int channel, bool *enable)

Test whether the PWM channel is enabled.

PWMBUS_CHANNEL_SET_FLAGS(device_t bus, int channel, uint32_t flags)

Set the flags of the channel (such as inverted polarity). If the driver or controller does not support this a do-nothing default method is used.
