-The Intel MID PTI project is HW implemented in Intel Atom
-system-on-a-chip designs based on the Parallel Trace
-Interface for MIPI P1149.7 cJTAG standard. The kernel solution
-for this platform involves the following files:
-
-./include/linux/pti.h
-./drivers/.../n_tracesink.h
-./drivers/.../n_tracerouter.c
-./drivers/.../n_tracesink.c
-./drivers/.../pti.c
-
-pti.c is the driver that enables various debugging features
-popular on platforms from certain mobile manufacturers.
-n_tracerouter.c and n_tracesink.c allow extra system information to
-be collected and routed to the pti driver, such as trace
-debugging data from a modem. Although n_tracerouter
-and n_tracesink are a part of the complete PTI solution,
-these two line disciplines can work separately from
-pti.c and route any data stream from one /dev/tty node
-to another /dev/tty node via kernel-space. This provides
-a stable, reliable connection that will not break unless
-the user-space application shuts down (plus avoids
-kernel->user->kernel context switch overheads of routing
-data).
-
-An example debugging usage for this driver system:
- *Hook /dev/ttyPTI0 to syslogd. Opening this port will also start
- a console device to further capture debugging messages to PTI.
- *Hook /dev/ttyPTI1 to modem debugging data to write to PTI HW.
- This is where n_tracerouter and n_tracesink are used.
- *Hook /dev/pti to a user-level debugging application for writing
- to PTI HW.
- *Use mipi_* Kernel Driver API in other device drivers for
- debugging to PTI by first requesting a PTI write address via
- mipi_request_masterchannel(1).
-
-Below is example pseudo-code on how a 'privileged' application
-can hook up n_tracerouter and n_tracesink to any tty on
-a system. 'Privileged' means the application has enough
-privileges to successfully manipulate the ldisc drivers
-but is not just blindly executing as 'root'. Keep in mind
-the use of ioctl(,TIOCSETD,) is not specific to the n_tracerouter
-and n_tracesink line discpline drivers but is a generic
-operation for a program to use a line discpline driver
-on a tty port other than the default n_tty.
