[PATCH] cros_ec: instantiate properly Intel ISH MCU device

[Rushikesh S Kadam]

Intel Integrated Sensor Hub (ISH) is also a MCU running EC
having feature bit EC_FEATURE_ISH. Instantiate it as a special
CrOS EC device with device name 'cros_ish'.

Is still unclear to me what's that ISH device, so I'd appreciate if you can give
some more background. Trying to understand the topology, makes sense that block
diagram to you?

So I'm right assuming that this CrOS EC will implement only the sensor features?

And then, the system will have another CrOS EC implementing other features like
RTC, USBPD-charger, etc?

Apart from the sensors features, will the CrOS EC ISH implement other features?

I'm a bit worried about the increasing way to use a particular name for
different CrOS EC, actually we have only cros_ec and cros_pd. But in the
chromeos kernels there is /dev/cros_fp, /dev/cros_tp, /dev/cros_ish,
/dev/cros_scp and who knows how many more in the future. So I'm wondering if
wouldn't be better use standard names, i.e /dev/cros_ec0, /dev/cros_ec1, etc. as
userspace, for those cases, should be able to query the EC_FEATURE_ISH/FP/TP/SCP
and know against which EC the device is attached.

Re: [PATCH] cros_ec: instantiate properly Intel ISH MCU device

[Jett Rink]

The diagram you provided is correct.

The ISH device is a MCU that can run general purpose code that is
located on the SoC. Typically the ISH collects sensor data and
processes it before giving it to the AP. The ISH HW can run any RTOS,
and in this scenario we are choosing to run the ECOS RTOS. In doing
so, we have access to the standard cros_ec command interface for
communication between the AP and ISH. This is helpful because we have
sensors drivers (Cros EC IIO Sensors) that depend on the cros_ec
command interface.

The idea behind using a different sysfs path was to ensure that there
weren't any unintended consequences by adding a cros_ec device when
the ISH doesn't support most of the EC type tasks. Here are a few
examples:
 - Mosys tool is specifically trying to talk with an EC:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/mosys/+/152a306a82009cd6ca68760b0902fc03781e0d5d/platform/daisy/ec.c#41
 - The ectool is specifically trying to talk with an EC:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/ec/+/a3c27b39fa69f280a3728a5cf24de57a5d3ccb0d/util/ectool.c#8546

At least on active project, there has already been confusion that the
normal ectool program doesn't work because the EC on the system is 3rd
party and does not support the normal cros_ec interface. This
confusion would compound if the ISH started presenting the cros_ec
interface and the ectool started talking to the ISH instead of the 3rd
party EC. Maybe we just need to modify ectool to make that situation
less confusing, but this is an example of the cross over using the
cros_ish device name is trying to avoid.

At this point though, we will definitely follow the guidance of people
more experienced in kernel design. If using cros_ish as a device name
instead of cros_ec is actually not a good idea, then we can accept
that and move forward and try to see what the fallout is from
userspace tools.

Re: [PATCH] cros_ec: instantiate properly Intel ISH MCU device

Hi Jett,

Many thanks for the explanation.

IMHO the problem with names is that is not really scalable, right now, we have

/sys/class/chromeos/cros_ec
/dev/cros_ec

and

/sys/class/chromeos/cros_pd
/dev/cros_pd

but looks like, apart from this, we will have

/sys/class/chromeos/cros_ish
/dev/cros_ish

And a lot more: cros_fp, cros_tp, cros_scp, etc


I was thinking in a solution more scalable where all the cros-ec are enumerated
by an index, so is more generic. So in a system with 2 cros-ec you'll have

/sys/class/chromeos/cros_ec0
/dev/cros_ec0

/sys/class/chromeos/cros_ec1
/dev/cros_ec1

...

In such case, from userspace point of view, when you open the device you can
send the EC_CMD_GET_FEATURES and know which EC is under the device.

One of the problems I see is that some old ECs (cros_pd I guess) doesn't
implement that command, in such case maybe we can continue using the name to
differentiate from other ECs.

I'm unsure yet of the impact of this change though, so I'd like to listen
Guenter and Benson opinions here :)

Will this solution work for you? Do you see any problem?

You're right, the cros_ names are based on what the EC provides.
cros_ec for generic EC, fp, tp for fingerprint, touch pad
respectively.
ish is for standalone sensor hub [it does not have to be Intel Sensor Hub].

ChromeOS user space tool are using the cros_XX names directly, like
biod is using cros_fp.

I agree the number of standalone EC in the system is increasing, but
it is still bounded.

Thanks for the explanation. I didn't know that and I assumed the 'i'
was for 'intel', maybe would be good call cros_ssh or cros_sh to avoid
confusion?

Let me ask another question :)

I understand different names based on what the EC provides. Is this
also the case for the cros_scp? In other words, will cros_ec and
cros_scp co-exist and provide different functionalities than ec, fp,
tp or standalone sensor hub?

Thanks,

Ok, thanks for the clarification. Now that is clear to me I'll send

Regarding cros_scp, it may coexist with cros_ec or be standalone. It
is not clear yet.

Hi,

Based on the discussion we had, only some few comments.

 dev_info(dev, "CrOS ISH MCU detected.\n"); ?
