Protocol Interface Structure

EFI_SMBUS_HC_PROTOCOL_ARP_DEVICE ArpDevice;
EFI_SMBUS_HC_PROTOCOL_GET_ARP_MAP GetArpMap;
EFI_SMBUS_HC_PROTOCOL_NOTIFY Notify;
} EFI_SMBUS_HC_PROTOCOL;
Parameters
- Execute
Executes the SMBus operation to an SMBus slave device. See the Execute() function description.
- ArpDevice
Allows an SMBus 2.0 device(s) to be Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). See the ArpDevice() function description.
- GetArpMap
Allows a driver to retrieve the address that was allocated by the SMBus host controller during enumeration/ARP. See the GetArpMap() function description.
- Notify
Allows a driver to register for a callback to the SMBus host controller driver when the bus issues a notification to the bus controller driver. See the Notify() function description.
Description
The EFI_SMBUS_HC_PROTOCOL provides SMBus host controller management and basic data transactions over SMBus. There is one EFI_SMBUS_HC_PROTOCOL instance for each SMBus host controller.
Early chipset drivers can communicate with specific SMBus slave devices by calling this protocol directly. Also, for drivers that are called during the Boot Device Selection (BDS) phase, the device driver that wishes to manage an SMBus bus in a system retrieves the EFI_SMBUS_HC_PROTOCOL instance that is associated with the SMBus bus to be managed. A device handle for an SMBus host controller will minimally contain an EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL instance and an EFI_SMBUS_HC_PROTOCOL instance.
3.2.1. EFI_SMBUS_HC_PROTOCOL.Execute()
Summary
Executes an SMBus operation to an SMBus controller. Returns when either the command has been executed or an error is encountered in doing the operation.

IN EFI_SMBUS_DEVICE_COMMAND Command,
IN EFI_SMBUS_OPERATION Operation,
IN BOOLEAN PecCheck,
IN OUT UINTN \*Length,
IN OUT VOID \*Buffer
);
Parameters
- This
A pointer to the EFI_SMBUS_HC_PROTOCOL instance.
- SlaveAddress
The SMBus slave address of the device with which to communicate. Type EFI_SMBUS_DEVICE_ADDRESS is defined in EFI_PEI_SMBUS_PPI.Execute() in the Platform Initialization SMBus PPI Specification.
- Command
This command is transmitted by the SMBus host controller to the SMBus slave device and the interpretation is SMBus slave device specific. It can mean the offset to a list of functions inside an SMBus slave device. Not all operations or slave devices support this command’s registers. Type EFI_SMBUS_DEVICE_COMMAND is defined in EFI_PEI_SMBUS_PPI.Execute() in the Platform Initialization SMBus PPI Specification .
- Operation
Signifies which particular SMBus hardware protocol instance that it will use to execute the SMBus transactions. This SMBus hardware protocol is defined by the SMBus Specification and is not related to PI Architecture. Type EFI_SMBUS_OPERATION is defined in EFI_PEI_SMBUS_PPI.Execute*() in the *Platform Initialization SMBus PPI Specification .
- PecCheck
Defines if Packet Error Code (PEC) checking is required for this operation.
- Length
Signifies the number of bytes that this operation will do. The maximum number of bytes can be revision specific and operation specific. This field will contain the actual number of bytes that are executed for this operation. Not all operations require this argument.
- Buffer
Contains the value of data to execute to the SMBus slave device. Not all operations require this argument. The length of this buffer is identified by Length .
Description
The Execute() function provides a standard way to execute an operation as defined in the System Management Bus (SMBus) Specification . The resulting transaction will be either that the SMBus slave devices accept this transaction or that this function returns with error.
Status Codes Returned
EFI_SUCCESS |

Timeout expired before the operation was completed Timeout is determined by the SMBus host controller device |
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES |
The request could not be completed due to a lack of resources |
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR |
The request was not completed because a failure that was reflected in the Host Status Register bit Device errors are a result of a transaction collision illegal command field unclaimed cycle host initiated or bus errors collisions |
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER |
Operation is not defined in EFI_SMBUS_OPERATION |
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER |
Length Buffer is NULL for operations except for EfiSmbusQuickRead and EfiSmbusQuickWrite Length is outside the range of valid values |
EFI_UNSUPPORTED |
The SMBus operation or PEC is not supported |
EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL |
Buffer is not sufficient for this operation |
3.2.2. EFI_SMBUS_HC_PROTOCOL.ArpDevice()
Summary
Sets the SMBus slave device addresses for the device with a given unique ID or enumerates the entire bus.

Parameters
- This
A pointer to the EFI_SMBUS_HC_PROTOCOL instance.
- ArpAll
A Boolean expression that indicates if the host drivers need to enumerate all the devices or enumerate only the device that is identified by SmbusUdid . If ArpAll is TRUE , SmbusUdid and SlaveAddress are optional. If ArpAll is FALSE , ArpDevice will enumerate SmbusUdid and the address will be at SlaveAddress .
- SmbusUdid
The Unique Device Identifier (UDID) that is associated with this device. Type EFI_SMBUS_UDID is defined in EFI_PEI_SMBUS_PPI.ArpDevice*() in the *Platform Initialization SMBus PPI Specification .
- SlaveAddress
The SMBus slave address that is associated with an SMBus UDID. Type EFI_SMBUS_DEVICE_ADDRESS is defined in EFI_PEI_SMBUS_PPI.Execute() in the Platform Initialization SMBus PPI Specification.
Description
The ArpDevice() function provides a standard way for a device driver to enumerate the entire SMBus or specific devices on the bus.
