Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Exynos 4x12 (4212, 4412) and 5 series provide emulation mode for thermal
|
|
management unit. Thermal emulation mode supports software debug for
|
|
TMU's operation. User can set temperature manually with software code
|
|
and TMU will read current temperature from user value not from sensor's
|
|
value.
|
|
|
|
Enabling CONFIG_THERMAL_EMULATION option will make this support
|
|
available. When it's enabled, sysfs node will be created as
|
|
/sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone'zone id'/emul_temp.
|
|
|
|
The sysfs node, 'emul_node', will contain value 0 for the initial state.
|
|
When you input any temperature you want to update to sysfs node, it
|
|
automatically enable emulation mode and current temperature will be
|
|
changed into it.
|
|
|
|
(Exynos also supports user changeable delay time which would be used to
|
|
delay of changing temperature. However, this node only uses same delay
|
|
of real sensing time, 938us.)
|
|
|
|
Exynos emulation mode requires synchronous of value changing and
|
|
enabling. It means when you want to update the any value of delay or
|
|
next temperature, then you have to enable emulation mode at the same
|
|
time. (Or you have to keep the mode enabling.) If you don't, it fails to
|
|
change the value to updated one and just use last succeessful value
|
|
repeatedly. That's why this node gives users the right to change
|
|
termerpature only. Just one interface makes it more simply to use.
|
|
|
|
Disabling emulation mode only requires writing value 0 to sysfs node.
