QMI

QMI (Qualcomm MSM Interface)

This is the general term for all related messaging between processors
and their software stacks on Qualcomm cellular processors.

IDL

  • int32_t qmi_idl_get_service_id(service_obj, service_id)
    get service ID for a given service object
  • qmi_idl_message_decode()
    Decode from TLV to C structure
  • qmi_idl_message_encode()
    Encode from C structure to wire format TLV

IDL Structures

Individual services are implemented in a data-driven manner by data
structures describing the type of messsages and the message TLV
structure.

In the end, a service describes itself using the master structure
qmi_idl_service_object, consisting of
  • library version (0x04)
  • idl version
  • service ID
  • maximum message length
  • number of command/response/indication messges in tables
  • tables describing messages (qmi_idl_service_message_table_entry)
  • tables describing types (qmi_idl_type_table_object)

The data structures describing a given service are generated by an IDL
compiler.

If you have a binary libqmi* providing IDL definitions, you can use the following
commadn to extract the IDL service definitions supported:

strings libqmi* | grep _idl_service_object | sort | uniq

CSI (Common Service Interface)

Data model (see qmi_csi_common.h for more info):

  • each service list has a list of active services
  • each service has a table of transports associated with it
  • each service also has a list of connected clients
  • each client has a pointer to the transport it connected from
  • each client also has a list of outstanding transactions

CSI has only a single transport on Linux, using te AF_MSM_IPC type
sockets as a basis.

SAP (Service Access Proxy)

Intended to export a service off-chip using QMUX daemon.

Encodes/Decodes messages for registering services:
  • register_service request/response
  • deregister_service request/response
  • client_connect indication
  • client_disconnect indication

QMUX (QMI Multiplex)

The related code can either talk directly to the shared-memory devices
on Linux and thus the hardware (see qmi_platform_qmux_io.c).

It can however also establish a connection via a multiplex daemon.
This connection utilizes unix domain STREAM type sockets in
/dev/socket, specifically:
  • /dev/socket/qmux_audio/qmux_{client,connect}_socket
  • /dev/socket/qmux_bluetooth/qmux_{client,connect}_socket
  • /dev/socket/qmux_radio/qmux_{client,connect}_socket
  • /dev/socket/qmux_gps/qmux_{client,connect}_socket
  • /var/qmux_{client,connect}_socket on non-android devices

QCCI (QMI Common Client Interface)

The QCCI layer wraps QMI into the respective transport. The
transports supported are:

  • IPC router (linux kernel socket family)
  • QMUXD (using qmi_qmux_... API, via unix domain sockets)
  • UDP packets (base port 10000)

The CCI API is what QMI clients normally would call to initiate a
client connection to a service. The CCI functions would then normally
be wrapped by some service specific code that wraps the IDL
definitions for message encoding/decoding and provides
service-specific API to the client.

IPC (Inter Process Communications)

Qualcomm implements a socket-based inter process communication on
Linux. It is implemented usinga new address family, AF_MSM_IPC (27).

The socket is used as datagram type socket (SOCK_DGRAM).

The socket address of a related socket consists of:

  • the socket family (AF_MSM_IPC)
  • a struct msm_ipc_addr, consisting of
    • a single address type byte
    • a port address (node_id, port_id)
    • a port name (service, instance)

IRSC (IPC Router Security Control)

FIXME

Shared Memory based Logging

There's a /dev/smem_log which can be opened and read from. It
supports some specific ioctl() to set binary mode.

More information in smem_log.h

AT command implementation (QMI ATCOP service layer)

This is used by client programs to register AT command call-backs
within the modems AT command interpreter.

The QMI ATCOP service layer seems to be pre-IDL, as it doesn't have
the usual IDL compiler code structure.

qmi_atcop_fwd_at_urc_req()

used to send unsolicited response codes to modem

qmi_atcop_fwd_at_cmd_resp()

used by clien to send response to an AT command previously forwarded
to the client from the modem

qmi_atcop_reg_at_command_fwd_req()

used by client to registre any AT commands that need to be forwarded
to it from the modem

qmi_atcop_srvc_init_client()

intialization

qmi_atcop_srvc_release_client()

cleanup
