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 simulteneously. 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 overriden 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 have 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 dev. Inputs of all the methods are required to meet the mutually_exclusive contidions if they exist. It is recommended to use this "global" state interface if you need to enter 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/name 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).
