h1. XMMBoot

h2.  Introduction

For both libsamsung-ipc and the Linux driver it's interesting to understand better the boot of the modem in order to come with good names for the abstraction.

h2. GPIOs

The GPIO platform data names were taken from the "modem_modemctl_device_xmm6260.c":https://git.replicant.us/replicant/kernel_samsung_smdk4412/tree/drivers/misc/modem_if/modem_modemctl_device_xmm6262.c file

|_. libsamsung-ipc |_\3. Kernel |_\2. Devices |_\2. Documentation |

|_. Function using the ioctl |_. ioctl name |_. function pointer name |_. gpio platform data name |_. present |_. absent |_. Implementation |_. comments |

|/4. xmm626_kernel_smdk4412_power |/4. IOCTL_MODEM_ON

IOCTL_MODEM_OFF |/4. modem_on

modem_off | gpio_cp_on | | | | powers on the modem? in which state (PMIC, CPU?)

* On GT-I9100 it's connected to the ON1 modem pin and ON2 is not connected. |

| gpio_cp_reset | | | | cp: baseband processor |

| gpio_reset_req_n | | | |

| gpio_pda_active | | | | Tell the modem if the SOC CPUs are sleeping/active or not?

* GPIO direction is output on AP side and input on BP side, which is also confirmed by the "pinout table in XDA":https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/how-to-talk-to-modem-commands-t1471241/page4 |

h3. Glossary

* cp: baseband processor

h3. SIM card presence detection

Do we really want to check the SIM card presence?

Would it be possible not to for privacy reasons?

Example:

* Boot a modem with a SIM

* Take away the SIM card

* Go to a protest with only the SIM card and a phone with no data on it to be able to call if necessary.

h3. TODO

* check gpio_flm_uart_sel in smdk4412 kernel too

h2. Modem partitions
