2017-12-21Fixed typo in onewire generic docGergo Huszty
Onewire devices has 6 byte long unique serial numbers, 1 byte family code and 1 byte CRC. Linux sysfs presents the device folder in the form of familyID-deviceID, so CRC is not shown. The consequence is that the device serial number is always a 12 long hex-string, but doc says 13 in one place. This is corrected by this change.

2015-05-24w1: introduce an ability to specify microseconds bus scanning intervalsDmitry Khromov
Some of 1-Wire devices commonly associated with physical access control systems are attached/generate presence for as short as 100 ms - hence the tens-to-hundreds milliseconds scan intervals are required.

2014-05-27w1: optional bundling of netlink kernel repliesDavid Fries
Applications can submit a set of commands in one packet to the kernel, and in some cases it is required such as reading the temperature sensor results. This adds an option W1_CN_BUNDLE to the flags of cn_msg to request the kernel to reply in one packet for efficiency. The cn_msg flags now check for unknown flag values and return an error if one is seen. See "Proper handling of unknown flags in system calls" http://lwn.net/Articles/588444/ This corrects the ack values returned as per the protocol standard, namely the original ack for status messages and seq + 1 for all others such as the data returned from a read. Some of the common variable names have been standardized as follows. struct cn_msg *cn struct w1_netlink_msg *msg struct w1_netlink_cmd *cmd struct w1_master *dev When an argument and a function scope variable would collide, add req_ to the argument.

2013-06-03w1: add family based automatic module loadingAlexander Stein
This patch allows the 1-wire bus to autoload the corresponding module for each slave being attached. This works similar to bluetooth protocols. Signed-off-by: Alexander Stein <alexander.stein@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

2006-06-22[PATCH] w1: Added default generic read/write operations.Evgeniy Polyakov
Special file in each w1 slave device's directory called "rw" is created each time new slave and no appropriate w1 family is registered. "rw" file supports read and write operations, which allows to perform almost any kind of operations. Each logical operation is a transaction in nature, which can contain several (two or one) low-level operations. Let's see how one can read EEPROM context: 1. one must write control buffer, i.e. buffer containing command byte and two byte address. At this step bus is reset and appropriate device is selected using either W1_SKIP_ROM or W1_MATCH_ROM command. Then provided control buffer is being written to the wire. 2. reading. This will issue reading eeprom response. It is possible that between 1. and 2. w1 master thread will reset bus for searching and slave device will be even removed, but in this case 0xff will be read, since no device was selected.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
