5. SMBus PPI Code Definitions

5.1. Introduction

This section contains the basic definitions for PEIMs and SMBus devices to use during the PEI phase. The following PPI is defined in this section:

  • EFI_PEI_SMBUS2_PPI

This section also contains the definitions for additional SMBus-related data types and structures that are subordinate to the structures in which they are called. All of the data structures below except for EFI_PEI_SMBUS_NOTIFY_FUNCTION can be used in the DXE phase as well. The following types or structures can be found in “Related Definitions” of the parent function definition:

  • EFI_SMBUS_DEVICE_ADDRESS

  • EFI_SMBUS_DEVICE_COMMAND

  • EFI_SMBUS_OPERATION

  • EFI_SMBUS_UDID

  • EFI_SMBUS_DEVICE_MAP

  • EFI_PEI_SMBUS_NOTIFY_FUNCTION

5.2. PEI SMBus PPI

5.2.1. EFI_PEI_SMBUS2_PPI

Summary

Provides the basic I/O interfaces that a PEIM uses to access its SMBus controller and the slave devices attached to it.

GUID

#define EFI_PEI_SMBUS2_PPI_GUID \\
{ 0x9ca93627, 0xb65b, 0x4324, \\
0xa2, 0x2, 0xc0, 0xb4, 0x61, 0x76, 0x45, 0x43 }

PPI Interface Structure

typedef struct _EFI_PEI_SMBUS2_PPI {
EFI_PEI_SMBUS2_PPI_EXECUTE_OPERATION Execute;
EFI_PEI_SMBUS2_PPI_ARP_DEVICE ArpDevice;
EFI_PEI_SMBUS2_PPI_GET_ARP_MAP GetArpMap;
EFI_PEI_SMBUS2_PPI_NOTIFY Notify;
EFI_GUID Identifier
} EFI_PEI_SMBUS2_PPI;

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 PEIM to retrieve the address that was allocated by the SMBus host controller during enumeration/ARP. See the GetArpMap() function description.

Notify

Allows a PEIM to register for a callback to the SMBus host controller PEIM when the bus issues a notification to the bus controller PEIM. See the Notify() function description.

Identifier

Identifier which uniquely identifies this SMBus controller in a system.

Description

The EFI_PEI_SMBUS2_PPI provides the basic I/O interfaces that are used to abstract accesses to SMBus host controllers. There is one EFI_PEI_SMBUS2_PPI instance for each SMBus host controller in a system. A PEIM that wishes to manage an SMBus slave device in a system will have to retrieve the EFI_PEI_SMBUS2_PPI instance that is associated with its SMBus host controller.

5.2.2. EFI_PEI_SMBUS2_PPI.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.

Prototype

typedef
EFI_STATUS
 (EFIAPI \*EFI_PEI_SMBUS2_PPI_EXECUTE_OPERATION) (
  IN CONST EFI_PEI_SMBUS2_PPI \*This,
  IN EFI_SMBUS_DEVICE_ADDRESS SlaveAddress,
  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_PEI_SMBUS2_PPI instance.

SlaveAddress

The SMBUS hardware address to which the SMBUS device is preassigned or allocated. Type EFI_SMBUS_DEVICE_ADDRESS is defined in “Related Definitions” below.

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 “Related Definitions” below.

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 System Management Bus (SMBus) Specification and is not related to UEFI. Type EFI_SMBUS_OPERATION is defined in “Related Definitions” below.

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 parameter 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.
