Annotated Snippet
What: /sys/bus/siox/devices/siox-X/device_add
KernelVersion: 4.16
Contact: Thorsten Scherer <t.scherer@eckelmann.de>, Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>
Description:
Write-only file. Write
<type> <inbytes> <outbytes> <statustype>
to add a new device dynamically. <type> is the name that is used to match
to a driver (similar to the platform bus). <inbytes> and <outbytes> define
the length of the input and output shift register in bytes respectively.
<statustype> defines the 4 bit device type that is check to identify connection
problems.
The new device is added to the end of the existing chain.
What: /sys/bus/siox/devices/siox-X/device_remove
KernelVersion: 4.16
Contact: Thorsten Scherer <t.scherer@eckelmann.de>, Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>
Description:
Write-only file. A single write removes the last device in the siox chain.
What: /sys/bus/siox/devices/siox-X/poll_interval_ns
KernelVersion: 4.16
Contact: Thorsten Scherer <t.scherer@eckelmann.de>, Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>
Description:
Defines the interval between two poll cycles in nano seconds.
Note this is rounded to jiffies on writing. On reading the current value
is returned.
What: /sys/bus/siox/devices/siox-X-Y/connected
KernelVersion: 4.16
Contact: Thorsten Scherer <t.scherer@eckelmann.de>, Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>
Description:
Read-only value. "0" means the Yth device on siox bus X isn't "connected" i.e.
communication with it is not ensured. "1" signals a working connection.
What: /sys/bus/siox/devices/siox-X-Y/inbytes
KernelVersion: 4.16
Contact: Thorsten Scherer <t.scherer@eckelmann.de>, Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>
Description:
Read-only value reporting the inbytes value provided to siox-X/device_add
What: /sys/bus/siox/devices/siox-X-Y/status_errors
KernelVersion: 4.16
Contact: Thorsten Scherer <t.scherer@eckelmann.de>, Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>
Description:
Counts the number of time intervals when the read status byte doesn't yield the
expected value.
What: /sys/bus/siox/devices/siox-X-Y/type
KernelVersion: 4.16
Contact: Thorsten Scherer <t.scherer@eckelmann.de>, Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>
Description:
Read-only value reporting the type value provided to siox-X/device_add.
What: /sys/bus/siox/devices/siox-X-Y/watchdog
KernelVersion: 4.16
Contact: Thorsten Scherer <t.scherer@eckelmann.de>, Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>
Description:
Read-only value reporting if the watchdog of the siox device is
active. "0" means the watchdog is not active and the device is expected to
be operational. "1" means the watchdog keeps the device in reset.
What: /sys/bus/siox/devices/siox-X-Y/watchdog_errors
KernelVersion: 4.16
Contact: Thorsten Scherer <t.scherer@eckelmann.de>, Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>
Description:
Read-only value reporting the number to time intervals when the

- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / Documentation.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
