If there are multiple +batteries with their own chargers acting independently in a system, +the system may need multiple instances of Charger Manager. + +1. Introduction +=============== + +Charger Manager supports the following: + +* Support for multiple chargers (e.g., a device with USB, AC, and solar panels) + A system may have multiple chargers (or power sources) and some of + they may be activated at the same time. Each charger may have its + own power-supply-class and each power-supply-class can provide + different information about the battery status. This framework + aggregates charger-related information from multiple sources and + shows combined information as a single power-supply-class. + +* Support for in suspend-to-RAM polling (with suspend_again callback) + While the battery is being charged and the system is in suspend-to-RAM, + we may need to monitor the battery health by looking at the ambient or + battery temperature. We can accomplish this by waking up the system + periodically. However, such a method wakes up devices unncessary for + monitoring the battery health and tasks, and user processes that are + supposed to be kept suspended. That, in turn, incurs unnecessary power + consumption and slow down charging process. Or even, such peak power + consumption can stop chargers in the middle of charging + (external power input < device power consumption), which not + only affects the charging time, but the lifespan of the battery. + + Charger Manager provides a function "cm_suspend_again" that can be + used as suspend_again callback of platform_suspend_ops. If the platform + requires tasks other than cm_suspend_again, it may implement its own + suspend_again callback that calls cm_suspend_again in the middle. + Normally, the platform will need to resume and suspend some devices + that are used by Charger Manager. + +2. Global Charger-Manager Data related with suspend_again +======================================================== +In order to setup Charger Manager with suspend-again feature +(in-suspend monitoring), the user should provide charger_global_desc +with setup_charger_manager(struct charger_global_desc *). +This charger_global_desc data for in-suspend monitoring is global +as the name suggests. Thus, the user needs to provide only once even +if there are multiple batteries. If there are multiple batteries, the +multiple instances of Charger Manager share the same charger_global_desc +and it will manage in-suspend monitoring for all instances of Charger Manager. + +The user needs to provide all the two entries properly in order to activate +in-suspend monitoring: + +struct charger_global_desc { + +char *rtc_name; + : The name of rtc (e.g., "rtc0") used to wakeup the system from + suspend for Charger Manager. The alarm interrupt (AIE) of the rtc + should be able to wake up the system from suspend. Charger Manager + saves and restores the alarm value and use the previously-defined + alarm if it is going to go off earlier than Charger Manager so that + Charger Manager does not interfere with previously-defined alarms. + +bool (*rtc_only_wakeup)(void); + : This callback should let CM know whether + the wakeup-from-suspend is caused only by the alarm of "rtc" in the + same struct. If there is any other wakeup source triggered the + wakeup, it should return false. If the "rtc" is the only wakeup + reason, it should return true. +}; + +3. How to setup suspend_again +============================= +Charger Manager provides a function "extern bool cm_suspend_again(void)". +When cm_suspend_again is called, it monitors every battery. The suspend_ops +callback of the system's platform_suspend_ops can call cm_suspend_again +function to know whether Charger Manager wants to suspend again or not. +If there are no other devices or tasks that want to use suspend_again +feature, the platform_suspend_ops may directly refer to cm_suspend_again +for its suspend_again callback. + +The cm_suspend_again() returns true (meaning "I want to suspend again") +if the system was woken up by Charger Manager and the polling +(in-suspend monitoring) results in "normal". + +4. Charger-Manager Data (struct charger_desc) +============================================= +For each battery charged independently from other batteries (if a series of +batteries are charged by a single charger, they are counted as one independent +battery), an instance of Charger Manager is attached to it. + +struct charger_desc { + +char *psy_name; + : The power-supply-class name of the battery. Default is + "battery" if psy_name is NULL. Users can access the psy entries + at "/sys/class/power_supply/[psy_name]/". + +enum polling_modes polling_mode; + : CM_POLL_DISABLE: do not poll this battery. + CM_POLL_ALWAYS: always poll this battery. + CM_POLL_EXTERNAL_POWER_ONLY: poll this battery if and only if + an external power source is attached. + CM_POLL_CHARGING_ONLY: poll this battery if and only if the + battery is being charged. + +unsigned int fullbatt_uV; + : If specified with a non-zero value, Charger Manager assumes + that the battery is full (capacity = 100) if the battery is not being + charged and the battery voltage is equal to or greater than + fullbatt_uV. + +unsigned int polling_interval_ms; + : Required polling interval in ms. Charger Manager will poll + this battery every polling_interval_ms or more frequently. + +enum data_source battery_present; + CM_FUEL_GAUGE: get battery presence information from fuel gauge. + CM_CHARGER_STAT: get battery presence from chargers. + +char **psy_charger_stat; + : An array ending with NULL that has power-supply-class names of + chargers. Each power-supply-class should provide "PRESENT" (if + battery_present is "CM_CHARGER_STAT"), "ONLINE" (shows whether an + external power source is attached or not), and "STATUS" (shows whether + the battery is {"FULL" or not FULL} or {"FULL", "Charging", + "Discharging", "NotCharging"}). + +int num_charger_regulators; +struct regulator_bulk_data *charger_regulators; + : Regulators representing the chargers in the form for + regulator framework's bulk functions. + +char *psy_fuel_gauge; + : Power-supply-class name of the fuel gauge. + +int (*temperature_out_of_range)(int *mC); +bool measure_battery_temp; + : This callback returns 0 if the temperature is safe for charging, + a positive number if it is too hot to charge, and a negative number + if it is too cold to charge. With the variable mC, the callback returns + the temperature in 1/1000 of centigrade. + The source of temperature can be battery or ambient one according to + the value of measure_battery_temp. +}; + +5. Other Considerations +======================= + +At the charger/battery-related events such as battery-pulled-out, +charger-pulled-out, charger-inserted, DCIN-over/under-voltage, charger-stopped, +and others critical to chargers, the system should be configured to wake up. +At least the following should wake up the system from a suspend: +a) charger-on/off b) external-power-in/out c) battery-in/out (while charging) + +It is usually accomplished by configuring the PMIC as a wakeup source. |
