What: /sys/class/extcon/.../ Date: February 2012 Contact: MyungJoo Ham Description: Provide a place in sysfs for the extcon objects. This allows accessing extcon specific variables. The name of extcon object denoted as ... is the name given with extcon_dev_register. One extcon device denotes a single external connector port. An external connector may have multiple cables attached simultaneously. Many of docks, cradles, and accessory cables have such capability. For example, the 30-pin port of Nuri board (/arch/arm/mach-exynos) may have both HDMI and Charger attached, or analog audio, video, and USB cables attached simultaneously. If there are cables mutually exclusive with each other, such binary relations may be expressed with extcon_dev's mutually_exclusive array. What: /sys/class/extcon/.../name Date: February 2012 Contact: MyungJoo Ham Description: The /sys/class/extcon/.../name shows the name of the extcon object. If the extcon object has an optional callback "show_name" defined, the callback will provide the name with this sysfs node. What: /sys/class/extcon/.../state Date: February 2012 Contact: MyungJoo Ham Description: The /sys/class/extcon/.../state shows and stores the cable attach/detach information of the corresponding extcon object. If the extcon object has an optional callback "show_state" defined, the showing function is overridden with the optional callback. If the default callback for showing function is used, the format is like this:: # cat state USB_OTG=1 HDMI=0 TA=1 EAR_JACK=0 # In this example, the extcon device has USB_OTG and TA cables attached and HDMI and EAR_JACK cables detached. In order to update the state of an extcon device, enter a hex state number starting with 0x:: # echo 0xHEX > state This updates the whole state of the extcon device. Inputs of all the methods are required to meet the mutually_exclusive conditions if they exist. It is recommended to use this "global" state interface if you need to set the value atomically. The later state interface associated with each cable cannot update multiple cable states of an extcon device simultaneously. What: /sys/class/extcon/.../cable.X/name Date: February 2012 Contact: MyungJoo Ham Description: The /sys/class/extcon/.../cable.X/name shows the name of cable "X" (integer between 0 and 31) of an extcon device. What: /sys/class/extcon/.../cable.X/state Date: February 2012 Contact: MyungJoo Ham Description: The /sys/class/extcon/.../cable.X/state shows and stores the state of cable "X" (integer between 0 and 31) of an extcon device. The state value is either 0 (detached) or 1 (attached). What: /sys/class/extcon/.../mutually_exclusive/... Date: December 2011 Contact: MyungJoo Ham Description: Shows the relations of mutually exclusiveness. For example, if the mutually_exclusive array of extcon device is {0x3, 0x5, 0xC, 0x0}, then the output is:: # ls mutually_exclusive/ 0x3 0x5 0xc # Note that mutually_exclusive is a sub-directory of the extcon device and the file names under the mutually_exclusive directory show the mutually-exclusive sets, not the contents of the files.
