Intel North Mux-Agent
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
North Mux-Agent is a function of the Intel PMC firmware that is supported on
|
|
most Intel based platforms that have the PMC microcontroller. It's used for
|
|
configuring the various USB Multiplexer/DeMultiplexers on the system. The
|
|
platforms that allow the mux-agent to be configured from the operating system
|
|
have an ACPI device object (node) with HID "INTC105C" that represents it.
|
|
|
|
The North Mux-Agent (aka. Intel PMC Mux Control, or just mux-agent) driver
|
|
communicates with the PMC microcontroller by using the PMC IPC method
|
|
(drivers/platform/x86/intel_scu_ipc.c). The driver registers with the USB Type-C
|
|
Mux Class which allows the USB Type-C Controller and Interface drivers to
|
|
configure the cable plug orientation and mode (with Alternate Modes). The driver
|
|
also registers with the USB Role Class in order to support both USB Host and
|
|
Device modes. The driver is located here: drivers/usb/typec/mux/intel_pmc_mux.c.
|
|
|
|
Port nodes
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
General
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
For every USB Type-C connector under the mux-agent control on the system, there
|
|
is a separate child node under the PMC mux-agent device node. Those nodes do not
|
|
represent the actual connectors, but instead the "channels" in the mux-agent
|
|
that are associated with the connectors::
|
|
|
|
Scope (_SB.PCI0.PMC.MUX)
|
|
{
|
|
Device (CH0)
|
|
{
|
|
Name (_ADR, 0)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Device (CH1)
|
|
{
|
|
Name (_ADR, 1)
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
_PLD (Physical Location of Device)
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The optional _PLD object can be used with the port (the channel) nodes. If _PLD
|
|
is supplied, it should match the connector node _PLD::
|
|
|
|
Scope (_SB.PCI0.PMC.MUX)
|
|
{
|
|
Device (CH0)
|
|
{
|
|
Name (_ADR, 0)
|
|
Method (_PLD, 0, NotSerialized)
|
|
{
|
|
/* Consider this as pseudocode. */
|
|
Return (\_SB.USBC.CON0._PLD())
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Mux-agent specific _DSD Device Properties
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Port Numbers
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
In order to configure the muxes behind a USB Type-C connector, the PMC firmware
|
|
needs to know the USB2 port and the USB3 port that is associated with the
|
|
connector. The driver extracts the correct port numbers by reading specific _DSD
|
|
device properties named "usb2-port-number" and "usb3-port-number". These
|
|
properties have integer value that means the port index. The port index number
|
|
is 1's based, and value 0 is illegal. The driver uses the numbers extracted from
|
|
these device properties as-is when sending the mux-agent specific messages to
|
|
the PMC::
|
|
|
|
Name (_DSD, Package () {
|
|
ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
|
|
Package() {
|
|
Package () {"usb2-port-number", 6},
|
|
Package () {"usb3-port-number", 3},
|
|
},
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
Orientation
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Depending on the platform, the data and SBU lines coming from the connector may
|
|
be "fixed" from the mux-agent's point of view, which means the mux-agent driver
|
|
should not configure them according to the cable plug orientation. This can
|
|
happen for example if a retimer on the platform handles the cable plug
|
|
orientation. The driver uses a specific device properties "sbu-orientation"
|
|
(SBU) and "hsl-orientation" (data) to know if those lines are "fixed", and to
|
|
which orientation. The value that these properties have is a string value, and
|
|
it can be one that is defined for the USB Type-C connector orientation: "normal"
|
|
or "reversed"::
|
|
|
|
Name (_DSD, Package () {
|
|
ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
|
|
Package() {
|
|
Package () {"sbu-orientation", "normal"},
|
|
Package () {"hsl-orientation", "normal"},
|
|
},
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
Example ASL
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
The following ASL is an example that shows the mux-agent node, and two
|
|
connectors under its control::
|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|

|

|
|
|
|

|
|

|

|
|
Package () {"usb3-port-number", 3},
|
|
Package () {"sbu-orientation", "normal"},
|
|

|

|
|
Package () {"usb2-port-number", 5},
|
|

|
|
