What: /sys/class/remoteproc/.../firmware Date: October 2016 Contact: Matt Redfearn matt.redfearn@mips.com Description: Remote processor firmware

	Reports the name of the firmware currently loaded to the
	remote processor.

	To change the running firmware, ensure the remote processor is
	stopped (using /sys/class/remoteproc/.../state) and write a new filename.

What: /sys/class/remoteproc/.../state Date: October 2016 Contact: Matt Redfearn matt.redfearn@mips.com Description: Remote processor state

	Reports the state of the remote processor, which will be one of:

	- "offline"
	- "suspended"
	- "running"
	- "crashed"
	- "invalid"

	"offline" means the remote processor is powered off.

	"suspended" means that the remote processor is suspended and
	must be woken to receive messages.

	"running" is the normal state of an available remote processor

	"crashed" indicates that a problem/crash has been detected on
	the remote processor.

	"invalid" is returned if the remote processor is in an
	unknown state.

	Writing this file controls the state of the remote processor.
	The following states can be written:

	- "start"
	- "stop"

	Writing "start" will attempt to start the processor running the
	firmware indicated by, or written to,
	/sys/class/remoteproc/.../firmware. The remote processor should
	transition to "running" state.

	Writing "stop" will attempt to halt the remote processor and
	return it to the "offline" state.

What: /sys/class/remoteproc/.../name Date: August 2019 KernelVersion: 5.4 Contact: Suman Anna s-anna@ti.com Description: Remote processor name

	Reports the name of the remote processor. This can be used by
	userspace in exactly identifying a remote processor and ease
	up the usage in modifying the 'firmware' or 'state' files.

What: /sys/class/remoteproc/.../coredump Date: July 2020 Contact: Bjorn Andersson bjorn.andersson@linaro.org, Ohad Ben-Cohen ohad@wizery.com Description: Remote processor coredump configuration

	Reports the coredump configuration of the remote processor,
	which will be one of:

	"disabled"
	"enabled"
	"inline"

	"disabled" means no dump will be collected.

	"enabled" means when the remote processor's coredump is
	collected it will be copied to a separate buffer and that
	buffer is exposed to userspace.

	"inline" means when the remote processor's coredump is
	collected userspace will directly read from the remote
	processor's device memory. Extra buffer will not be used to
	copy the dump. Also recovery process will not proceed until
	all data is read by userspace.

What: /sys/class/remoteproc/.../recovery Date: July 2020 Contact: Bjorn Andersson bjorn.andersson@linaro.org, Ohad Ben-Cohen ohad@wizery.com Description: Remote processor recovery mechanism

	Reports the recovery mechanism of the remote processor,
	which will be one of:

	"enabled"
	"disabled"

	"enabled" means, the remote processor will be automatically
	recovered whenever it crashes. Moreover, if the remote
	processor crashes while recovery is disabled, it will
	be automatically recovered too as soon as recovery is enabled.

	"disabled" means, a remote processor will remain in a crashed
	state if it crashes. This is useful for debugging purposes;
	without it, debugging a crash is substantially harder.
