| Description: | |
| This directory contains interface files for accessing Intel | |
| On Demand (formerly Software Defined Silicon or SDSi) features | |
| on a CPU. X represents the socket instance (though not the | |
| socket ID). The socket ID is determined by reading the | |
| registers file and decoding it per the specification. | |
| Some files communicate with On Demand hardware through a | |
| mailbox. Should the operation fail, one of the following error | |
| codes may be returned: | |
| ========== ===== | |
| Error Code Cause | |
| ========== ===== | |
| EIO General mailbox failure. Log may indicate cause. | |
| EBUSY Mailbox is owned by another agent. | |
| EPERM On Demand capability is not enabled in hardware. | |
| EPROTO Failure in mailbox protocol detected by driver. | |
| See log for details. | |
| EOVERFLOW For provision commands, the size of the data | |
| exceeds what may be written. | |
| ESPIPE Seeking is not allowed. | |
| ETIMEDOUT Failure to complete mailbox transaction in time. | |

| (WO) Used to write an Authentication Key Certificate (AKC) to | |
| the On Demand NVRAM for the CPU. The AKC is used to authenticate | |
| a Capability Activation Payload. Mailbox command. | |

| Description: | |
| (WO) Used to write a Capability Activation Payload (CAP) to the | |
| On Demand NVRAM for the CPU. CAPs are used to activate a given | |
| CPU feature. A CAP is validated by On Demand hardware using a | |
| previously provisioned AKC file. Upon successful authentication, | |
| the CPU configuration is updated. A cold reboot is required to | |
| fully activate the feature. Mailbox command. | |
