What: /sys/class/firmware/.../data
Date: July 2022
KernelVersion: 5.19
Contact: Russ Weight <[email protected]>
Description: The data sysfs file is used for firmware-fallback and for
firmware uploads. 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 <[email protected]>
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 <[email protected]>
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 <[email protected]>
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 <[email protected]>
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 <[email protected]>
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 <[email protected]>
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.
