|
|
+Description:
|
|
|
+ The /sys/devices/ directory contains a sub-directory for each
|
|
|
+ System-on-Chip (SoC) device on a running platform. Information
|
|
|
+ regarding each SoC can be obtained by reading sysfs files. This
|
|
|
+ functionality is only available if implemented by the platform.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ The directory created for each SoC will also house information
|
|
|
+ about devices which are commonly contained in /sys/devices/platform.
|
|
|
+ It has been agreed that if an SoC device exists, its supported
|
|
|
+ devices would be better suited to appear as children of that SoC.

|
+Description:
|
|
|
+ The /sys/bus/soc/ directory contains the usual sub-folders
|
|
|
+ expected under most buses. /sys/bus/soc/devices is of particular
|
|
|
+ interest, as it contains a symlink for each SoC device found on
|
|
|
+ the system. Each symlink points back into the aforementioned
|
|
|
+ /sys/devices/socX devices.
