SMP_READ_GPIO(8) SMP_UTILS SMP_READ_GPIO(8)
NAME
smp_read_gpio - invoke READ GPIO REGISTER (ENHANCED) SMP function
SYNOPSIS
smp_read_gpio [--count=CO] [--enhanced] [--help] [--hex] [--index=IN]
[--interface=PARAMS] [--raw] [--sa=SAS_ADDR] [--type=TY] [--verbose]
[--version] SMP_DEVICE[,N]
DESCRIPTION
Sends a SAS Management Protocol (SMP) READ GPIO REGISTER or READ GPIO
REGISTER ENHANCED function request to a SMP target. The SMP target is
identified by the SMP_DEVICE and the SAS_ADDR. Depending on the inter‐
face, the SAS_ADDR may be deduced from the SMP_DEVICE. The mpt inter‐
face uses SMP_DEVICE to identify a HBA (an SMP initiator) and needs the
additional ,N to differentiate between HBAs if there are multiple
present.
This function is defined in SFF-8485 ( see www.sffcommittee.com )
together with its corresponding WRITE GPIO REGISTER SMP function. The
other SMP functions are defined in SAS documents at www.t10.org .
SFF-8485 defines a curious device called a "virtual SMP port" that
lives in a host bus adapter (HBA) and allows SMP to manipulate the
sideband signals on wide internal cables. To stop other initiators in a
multi-initiator domain from accessing those sideband signals, the vir‐
tual SMP (target) port is not indicated in a DISCOVER response.
In SAS-2 this function was made obsolete and seemingly replaced by a
function called READ GPIO REGISTER ENHANCED with a reference to the
same SFF document. However the author can find no version of SFF-8485
that defines the READ GPIO REGISTER ENHANCED function. In SAS-2.1 both
the READ GPIO REGISTER and READ GPIO REGISTER ENHANCED functions were
dropped.
OPTIONS
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as
well.
-c, --count=CO
where CO is the register count. This is the number of (4 byte)
registers to request. The default value is 1.
-E, --enhanced
sends a READ GPIO REGISTER ENHANCED function request (default:
send a READ GPIO REGISTER function request).
-h, --help
output the usage message then exit.
-H, --hex
output the response (less the CRC field) in hexadecimal.
-i, --index=IN
where IN is the register index. This value is origin zero and
its default value is 0. If the request succeeds, then --count=CO
registers starting from --index=IN of the given --type=TY should
be in the response.
-I, --interface=PARAMS
interface specific parameters. In this case "interface" refers
to the path through the operating system to the SMP initiator.
See the smp_utils man page for more information.
-r, --raw
send the response (less the CRC field) to stdout in binary. All
error messages are sent to stderr.
-s, --sa=SAS_ADDR
specifies the SAS address of the SMP target device. Typically
this is an expander. This option may not be needed if the
SMP_DEVICE has the target's SAS address within it. The SAS_ADDR
is in decimal but most SAS addresses are shown in hexadecimal.
To give a number in hexadecimal either prefix it with '0x' or
put a trailing 'h' on it.
-t, --type=TY
where TY is the register type. The default value is 0
(GPIO_CFG). If the request succeeds, then --count=CO registers
starting from --index=IN of the given --type=TY should be in the
response.
-v, --verbose
increase the verbosity of the output. Can be used multiple times
-V, --version
print the version string and then exit.

CONFORMING TO
The SMP READ GPIO REGISTER (ENHANCED) function is defined in SFF-8485
(see www.sffcommittee.com ) together with its corresponding WRITE GPIO
REGISTER (ENHANCED) SMP function.
