Right. On our TOR systems we are using only 16 channels, controlled by two registers - one for channels on main board, the other on main board. We also have director systems, that we are using on management board up to 48 channels (on such systems we have up-to 648 100G ports. On these systems we also have such CPLD on modules (leafs, spines), which controls devices on modules (also on each modules we have 16 channels). On management board of such system we have 113 channels (adapters from i2c1 to i2c-113), where 16 channels are on top of headachy: i2c-1: has multiplexed buses from 1 to 16 i2c-3: has multiplexed buses bus 42 to 65 i2c-4: has multiplexed buses bus 66 to 89 i2c-4: has multiplexed buses bus 90 to 113 These channels go to the modules (PSU, FAN, leaf, spine). On such system we have 5 registers in CPLD for channel selection, two of top headachy (on main board and on switch board), each controls 8 channels. Three of 2-nd level of hierarchy, each controls 24 channels. Each register of 8 bytes, so theoretically you can support 255 channels through 1 register. In CPLD you can program each register as channel selection (if necessary and if you have spares). CPLD can be connected to LPC, I2C (we don't have other connections). We are using Lattice devices. > But then I wonder if that wouldn't be three parallel muxes, i.e. one mux for > each > register? Otherwise you would only need two more bits to get three times the > number of channels... It's all depends on system topology. Practically you can't control all channels from one register, because of system configuration (as in my example for TOR systems, when you have two register for 8 channels, and not one for 16). In initial system we used Philips pca9548, but the we replaced it with CPLD mux control as a part of cost reduction. > > >> > >> Because from the text above, I would have guessed 256, but below... > >> > >>> Connectivity schema. > >>> i2c-mlxcpld Digital Analog > >>> driver > >>> *--------* * -> mux1 (virt bus2) -> mux > >>> -> | > >>> | I2CLPC | i2c physical * -> mux2 (virt bus3) -> mux > >>> -> | > >>> | bridge | bus 1 *---------* > >>> | > >>> | logic |---------------------> * mux reg * > >>> | > >>> | in CPLD| *---------* > >>> | > >>> *--------* i2c-mux-mlxpcld ^ * -> muxn (virt busn) -> mux > >>> -> | > >>> | driver | > >>> | > >>> | *---------------* | > >>> Devices > >>> | * CPLD (LPC bus)* select | > >>> | * registers for *--------* > >>> | * mux selection * deselect > >>> | *---------------* > >>> | | > >>> <--------> <-----------> > >>> i2c cntrl Board cntrl reg > >>> reg space space (mux select, > >>> | IO, LED, WD, info) > >>> | | *-----* *-----* > >>> *------------- LPC bus --------------| PCH |---| CPU | > >>> *-----* *-----* > >>> > >>> i2c-mux-mlxpcld does not necessary required i2c-mlxcpld.

I have another module, which I am going to submit after this one and also fater another module i2c-mlxcpld, which I sent for review. This is arch/x86/platform/mellanox/mlx-platform.c module, which has among other platform initialization stuff code, like below: struct mlxcpld_mux_platform_mode mlxplat_mux_modes[] = { {0, 1}, {0, 1}, {0, 1}, {0, 1}, {0, 1}, {0, 1}, {0, 1}, {0, 1}, }; /* Platform mux data */ struct mlxcpld_mux_platform_data mlxcpld_mux_data[] = { { .modes = mlxplat_mux_modes, .num_modes = ARRAY_SIZE(mlxplat_mux_modes), .sel_reg_addr = MLXPLAT_CPLD_LPC_REG_BASE_ADRR + MLXPLAT_CPLD_LPC_REG_OFF, .addr = MLXPLAT_CPLD_LPC_REG_BASE_ADRR + MLXPLAT_CPLD_LPC_REG_OFF, .first_channel = 2, }, { .modes = mlxplat_mux_modes, .num_modes = ARRAY_SIZE(mlxplat_mux_modes), .sel_reg_addr = MLXPLAT_CPLD_LPC_REG_BASE_ADRR + MLXPLAT_CPLD_LPC_I2C_OFF, .addr = MLXPLAT_CPLD_LPC_REG_BASE_ADRR + MLXPLAT_CPLD_LPC_I2C_OFF, .first_channel = 10, }, }; /* mlxplat_topology - board entry data, used with i2c_register_board_info * @parent_channel - parent channel for upper connection * @adapter - adapter for parent channel * @client - client for mux * @brdinfo - board specific info */ struct mlxplat_topology { int parent_channel; struct i2c_adapter *adapter; struct i2c_client *client; struct i2c_board_info brdinfo; }; /* Platform topology */ struct mlxplat_topology mlxplat_topo[] = { { .parent_channel = 1, .brdinfo = { I2C_BOARD_INFO("mlxcpld_mux_tor", 0xb), .platform_data = &mlxcpld_mux_data[0], }, }, { .parent_channel = 1, .brdinfo = { I2C_BOARD_INFO("mlxcpld_mux_tor", 0xa), .platform_data = &mlxcpld_mux_data[1], }, }, }; When I have i2c stuff submitted, I'll use here include for mlxcpld.h. > > Cheers, > Peter Cheers, Vadim.
