NAME
tps65217pmic — Texas Instruments TPS65217 Power Management IC driver
SYNOPSIS
tps65217pmic0 at iic? addr 0x24
DESCRIPTION
The
tps65217pmic driver provides minimal support for the TPS65217 chip and allows reporting regulated voltages through the
envsys(4) API.
The TPS65217 consists of low-dropout regulators (LDO) and step-down converters with integrated switching FETs (DCDC):
-
LDO1: 1.0V - 3.3V
-
LDO2: 0.9V - 3.3V
-
LDO3: 1.5V - 3.3V
-
LDO4: 1.5V - 3.3V
-
DCDC1: 0.9V - 1.8V
-
DCDC2: 0.9V - 3.3V
-
DCDC1: 0.9V - 1.5V
HISTORY
The tps65217pmic device first appeared in NetBSD 7.0.
CAVEATS
The driver can only report current voltage regulator settings. It can not measure the real voltage, as the TPS65217 chip lacks hardware to do that.
Modifying voltage regulator parameters was deliberately left unimplemented, as these parameters should only be set at the firmware level. Setting wrong parameters may result in permanent hardware damage.
BUGS
Battery, interrupt and WLED (backlight) support is not implemented.
