Maybe I have not completely understood your proposal. Do you mean to go back to have big parameter tables for each device/battery combination in the driver code and the compatible flag (e.g. compatible = “board17”) chooses the right data set for the charging map and channels? I thought this is what the DT was introduced for - to have the same driver code but adapt to different boards depending on hardware variations. And batteries have very different characteristics and vary between devices… The charging maps are depending on the battery type connected to the twl4030 and which madc channel is which value is also a little hardware dependent (although the twl4030 doesn’t give much choice). And moving this information into the driver for each board that uses it would blow up the code.

Yeah but you also need to consider the issues related to introducing new device tree properties. The device tree properties introduced should be generic where possible. > And batteries have very different characteristics and vary between devices… Right. Maybe that has been already agreed on to use capacity-uah for batteries in general?

Just to consider alternatives before introducing driver specific property for the maps.. Maybe here you could have few different type of maps and select something safe by default? Of course it could be this is higly board specific, I think some devices may be able to run below 3.3V for example.. > And moving this information into the driver for each board that uses it > would blow up the code.

Well, I don’t know if there is such an agreement and I would have no argument against calling it “ti,capacity-uah”. > In that case I have not problem with that as > it’s a generic property :) Well, many batteries and systems have a fuel gauge chip (e.g. bq27000). This chip “knows” the capacity. But therefore it is not needed to specify it anywhere because it can be read out (usually in uAh). This driver is to solve the issue that there is no such factory-programmed battery or fuel gauge chip connected to a twl4030 driver. Nobody can program that capacity value - except someone matching the device tree with real hardware. And, by doing and averaging some charge-discharge cycles the fuel gauge mapping is calibrated. > >> The charging maps are depending on the battery type connected to the twl4030 >> and which madc channel is which value is also a little hardware dependent >> (although the twl4030 doesn’t give much choice). > > Just to consider alternatives before introducing driver specific > property for the maps..

They describe properties of the battery: * capacity - depends on battery * voltage depending on current charging level - depends on battery (and differs between charging and discharging) * wiring of MADC inputs to the twl4030 is board dependent. So all these properties are not driver specific, but describe hardware. And therefore they had been introduced exactly this way into the old platform_data driver. So if you want to see a “ti," prefix to the capacity property I would be fine.

No no, "capacity-uah" is what we should use, but you need an ack from the battery and device tree people that this is OK.

Oh if they are battery spicific, then ideally we'd have generic batery voltage to capacity maps property rather than a custom ti specific property. To avoid extra hassles later on, maybe you could submit a generic binding patch only documenting it to the battery people and the device tree people? That will make it easier to maintain this driver in the long run.

Actually the proper way would be to differentiate between the battery and the measurement chip / adc and that should be implemented in the long run. The kernel's power supply framework is not yet ready for it, though. Example DT: battery { battery-specific-data; }; fuel-gauge { measures = <&battery>; }; charger { charges = <&battery>; }; Since infrastructure for generic bindings is missing, I think its best to have the vendor properties for now and map this to generic properties, once they have been specified. -- Sebastian

As I explained in some other mail, those tables should not be neccessary at all. They can be computed from li-ion characteristics and internal resistance, and assumed current during charge and discharge. Running below 3.3V.. not really. At that point, the battery is really _empty_, and voltage is going down really really fast. Plus, you are damaging the battery at that point. Pavel

I already explained that we do not know the charging and discharging current well enough for such a calculation. And I explained that the “internal resistance” is a system (battery + cables + connectors + other circuits) parameter that is not easy to derive or measure and type into the .dts source code. At least I have no idea how I should find it out for my boards. While I can easily determine the curves (and we already have them for the platform_data driver).

It is a driver connecting some battery parameters with measurements provided by the twl4030-madc to present a /sys/class/power_supply node for the battery with a coarse estimate for the charging level. So maybe the best wording is that it is a battery-driver assuming a twl4030-madc providing raw measurements (voltage, charging). Therefore it could as well be battery-twl4030-madc. > >> + - capacity-uah : battery capacity in uAh >> + - ti,volt-to-capacity-charging-map : list of voltage(mV):level(%) values >> + for charging calibration (see example) >> + - ti,volt-to-capacity-discharging-map : list of voltage(mV):level(%) values >> + for discharging calibration (see example) > > These seem like properties of the battery independent of the > battery/charging controller which is the twl4030.

For smart batteries there are completely independent mechanisms like I2C and HDQ/1-wire communication with fuel gauge chips (e.g. b27xxx). Those do not need such battery properties because they are stored in EEPROMs within these chips. So all this is a quite special solution just for those handful of board that have no smart battery and use exactly this twl4030 chip. It is not intended to become a generic charging/fuel solution. Just make it work with DT (it worked with platform_data since ~3.12).

So, how does this look? It looks to me like you have cca 0.1 Ohm resistance in your system, and are using cca 75mA while discharging, and charge by cca 1.4A.

Where do you get these figures from? A GTA04 board discharges usually between 50 and 400 mA (depending on activities) and if you turn on WiFi, it will be up to 600 mA. If you use 3G it can draw even more during operation. Total current going in is 500-800 mA (depending on USB negotiations) and this is split into system operation and charging current. So 1.4A charging current is not possible. Rather 200-500 mA. So it might be that the battery is discharged although the system is connected to a charger. > (And > these are all the coefficients the code should need; rest is battery > characteristics -- common to all li-ions, and charger characteristics > -- that will be common to all cellphones.

The whole system is heating up a little, so that you never have -10C for the battery. I think you are trying to solve situations that don’t exist in practice. And AFAIK, the GTA04 board is the only user of this driver in case the battery has no built-in fuel gauge. So why improve it beyond what the GTA04 users need? I repeat myself: this driver is not built for highest precision because there are better methods (fuel gauge chip). These might not be available so this fall-back driver has been built.

No, that can’t fit well. But I do not remember who has done this calibration in which situation because it was done many months ago for the platform data version.

Well, it is not “mine”, it is the platform_data based driver already in kernel.org since ca. 3.12. We have just updated it to DT to get rid of platform_data in this area as well… Yes, I see your argument that hiding the tables (two characteristic curves) into an analytic approximation can be superior. The problem I see is just that your formula needs some parameters which are difficult to derive or estimate. And must be adjusted to the specific battery and system setup in a non-trivial way. At least we must supply a tool (in the kernel/scripts directory?) where someone can can estimate the parameters of the formula from the characteristic curves. Maybe a tool that automatically runs several charge/discharge cycles at different system load. And measures time vs. voltage. And assumes a linear capacity decrease between the end points. (i.e. if it needs 10 hours to charge from completely empty to full, we can assume 50% after 5,0 hours). So my goal is to measure all characteristics of the battery - and no need to study a (potentially non-existing) data sheet. If you can provide that for all parameters of your algorithm I am fine with it. > The thing is, mine > can be improved without adding more tables.

When not calling, your phone should not heat itself up. Yes, in suspend it needs <20 mA which does not heat or course.

I am not yet convinced that it is better. It just moves the (unavoidable) limitations (measuring multiple calibration points) just to a different area (measuring the hidden and not precisely known parameter of the system). > > >>> #perc = percent(volt) >>> compute(charging, 1) >>> compute(discharging, 0) >> >> Please explain what you calculate here.
