These protocols use a single wire for +communication between the master (HDQ/1-Wire controller) and the slave +(HDQ/1-Wire external compliant device). + +A typical application of the HDQ/1-Wire module is the communication with battery +monitor (gas gauge) integrated circuits. + +The controller supports operation in both HDQ and 1-wire mode. The essential +difference between the HDQ and 1-wire mode is how the slave device responds to +initialization pulse.In HDQ mode, the firmware does not require the host to +create an initialization pulse to the slave.However, the slave can be reset by +using an initialization pulse (also referred to as a break pulse).The slave +does not respond with a presence pulse as it does in the 1-Wire protocol. + +Remarks: +======== +The driver (drivers/w1/masters/omap_hdq.c) supports the HDQ mode of the +controller. In this mode, as we can not read the ID which obeys the W1 +spec(family:id:crc), a module parameter can be passed to the driver which will +be used to calculate the CRC and pass back an appropriate slave ID to the W1 +core. + +By default the master driver and the BQ slave i/f +driver(drivers/w1/slaves/w1_bq27000.c) sets the ID to 1. +Please note to load both the modules with a different ID if required, but note +that the ID used should be same for both master and slave driver loading. + +e.g: +insmod omap_hdq.ko W1_ID=2 +inamod w1_bq27000.ko F_ID=2 + |
