=== AB8500 Fuel Gauge Driver ===
|
|
AB8500 is a mixed signal multimedia and power management
|
device comprising: power and energy-management-module,
|
wall-charger, usb-charger, audio codec, general purpose adc,
|
tvout, clock management and sim card interface.
|
|
Fuelgauge support is part of energy-management-modules, other
|
components of this module are:
|
main-charger, usb-combo-charger and battery-temperature-monitoring.
|
|
The properties below describes the node for fuelgauge driver.
|
|
Required Properties:
|
- compatible = This shall be: "stericsson,ab8500-fg"
|
- battery = Shall be battery specific information
|
Example:
|
ab8500_fg {
|
compatible = "stericsson,ab8500-fg";
|
battery = <&ab8500_battery>;
|
};
|
|
dependent node:
|
ab8500_battery: ab8500_battery {
|
};
|
This node will provide information on 'thermistor interface' and
|
'battery technology type' used.
|
|
Properties of this node are:
|
thermistor-on-batctrl:
|
A boolean value indicating thermistor interface to battery
|
|
Note:
|
'btemp' and 'batctrl' are the pins interfaced for battery temperature
|
measurement, 'btemp' signal is used when NTC(negative temperature
|
coefficient) resister is interfaced external to battery whereas
|
'batctrl' pin is used when NTC resister is internal to battery.
|
|
Example:
|
ab8500_battery: ab8500_battery {
|
thermistor-on-batctrl;
|
};
|
indicates: NTC resister is internal to battery, 'batctrl' is used
|
for thermal measurement.
|
|
The absence of property 'thermal-on-batctrl' indicates
|
NTC resister is external to battery and 'btemp' signal is used
|
for thermal measurement.
|
|
battery-type:
|
This shall be the battery manufacturing technology type,
|
allowed types are:
|
"UNKNOWN" "NiMH" "LION" "LIPO" "LiFe" "NiCd" "LiMn"
|
Example:
|
ab8500_battery: ab8500_battery {
|
stericsson,battery-type = "LIPO";
|
}
|
