Simple EEPROM data to try. (Maybe i have nothing else to do tonight)

Code:

000: 12 34 56 78 01 01 00 00 30 00 05 00 40 00 06 00
010: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
030: 43 46 47 3F 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
040: 55 44 41 54 41 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Should set following values; These should be then visible somewhere in sysfs

Vendor = 0x1234
Product = 0x5678
Rev = 0x01
EEPROM size = 0x0100 (256 bytes)
CFG address = 0x0030 (must be at least 0x30)
CFG Size = 0x0005 = 5 bytes (at address 0x0030)
Udata address = 0x0040
Udata size = 0x0006 = 6 bytes (at address 0x0040)
config = string "CFG?" (including NULL)
udata = string "UDATA"

ok. whats next?

Got it soldered there, programmed it with my i2ctool
and after faking TOH in place with takkatikku

i can see it in /sys/bus/i2c/devices/1-0050

Code:

[root@localhost 1-0050]# xxd eeprom

It appeared in /sys/devices/platform/toh-core.0

And there are all data except 'udata' ?

You are actually a bit wrong on the size. It is 256KB of memory.

It costs $2.73 on dx.com (what did you pay?

).

Here's the specs on the EEPROM circuit:

AT24C256 yes, but no...
We are speaking about AT24C02 which is 2Kbits (256 Bytes)

dirkvl original link was to some arduino page... with example of 256Kb eeprom. I dont know what he has purchased

AT24C02 http://www.atmel.com/Images/doc0180.pdf

AT24C256 is not supported as it uses two-byte data-word-addressing mode.
Jolla toh seems (afaik) to support only one-byte data-word-addressing mode.

(EDIT: I paid 0,27€ each at digikey)

Hi,

I just thought I post some of my personal notes here about the eeprom stuff in the toh driver (having written the driver).

The idea originally was to

1. Have some way to automatically instantiate devices to linux kernel (to allow true linux "device-driver" model hot plugging of devices)
2. Have system and application specific configurations provided for userspace (and to some extent kernel)

For system configurations we tried bitmasks and such, but finally converged to just a configuration string (CFG_DATA). Idea there was to have some pre-defined key-value pairs to initiate actions inside kernel and tohd. Simple exaple would be vdd=1, meaning "enable the VDD". Or have some other string for i2c device parameters that the toh-core driver would register onto the bus then (so that corresponding driver would automatically probe).

The user data was meant for any application running in userspace to just read and do anything they need to according to that.

But... At some point of development we shifted gears and went full speed for the NFC based identification and the EEPROM was left a bit unattended. I basically got the CFG_DATA exporting done, but none of the hotplugging things nor exporting user data.

I thought the EEPROM still could serve a purpose for hacker community, as you can (maybe) more easily (and independently of Jolla store or anything outside) do simple detection of your own custom cover. So the driver is still there, but it's not "officially" driven forward at the moment. But were not removing it either, so feel free to use in personal hacking

I'm very interested to see what kind of uses you guys come up with it. Maybe once the recovery options allow safe community kernel development on Jolla, something in form of quality kernel patches could arise that we could pick up into official release as well.

at dayjob, we use something like this to set additional Linux environment variables from external configuration memory.

Is the UDATA somewhere accessible, could not find that the driver makes it visible in sysfs?

And atm to get the automatic rpm download/install, the NFC is the only way?

I will anyway have a eeprom on my TOHs, maybe use to store some TOH identity or TOH dependent configurations, e.g. if oled toh would have different settings (brightness/font etc) this is stores on eeprom. or serial number, hw version information, sensor calibration data.

Example udev rule: /etc/udev/rules.d/95-toholed.rules

Code:

KERNEL=="toh-core.0", ACTION=="remove", RUN+="/bin/systemctl stop harbour-toholed"

udevadm info:
