[PATCH v3 3/3] documentation: misc: intel_sysid: Add the system id sysfs documentation for Altera(Intel) FPGA platform

From: kah . jing . lee
Date: Mon Jul 25 2022 - 00:00:16 EST


From: Kah Jing Lee <kah.jing.lee@xxxxxxxxx>

This sysfs documentation is created for Altera(Intel) FPGA platform
System ID soft IP. The Altera(Intel) Sysid component is generally
part of an FPGA design.
The component can be hotplugged when the FPGA is reconfigured.

Based on an initial contribution from Ley Foon Tan at Altera

+Description:
+ The soc@X/soc:base_fpga_region/soc:base_fpga_region:fpga_pr_region0/
+ XXXXXXXX.sysid/ directory contains read-only attributes exposing
+ information about an System ID soft IP device. The X values could vary,
+ based on the FPGA platform System ID soft IP register address.

+Date: July 2022
+KernelVersion: v5.20
+Contact: Kah Jing Lee <kah.jing.lee@xxxxxxxxx>
+Description:
+ The .../XXXXXXX.sysid/sysid file contains the System ID for the FPGA
+ platform which is unique for the platform type and can be used for
+ checking the platform type for software download purposes. Sysid value
+ reported is in numerical format, and can also be printed in hex format
+ for human-readable string.

+ f9000900.sysid/sysid/id

+Description:
+ The .../XXXXXXX.sysid/buildtime file contains the buildtime for the
+ FPGA board file generation. Buildtime value reported in
+ <Unix timestamp> (YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:SS UTC) format.
