No way to get device serial number from /proc/cpuinfo or elsewhere.

Hey guys, looks like there's no support for board serial number in latest images for Station M2.
Serial number on rk356x is coming from otp memory, so:
1) there are no bindings for `otp` and `cpuinfo` devices in .dts, like here
2) there are no kernel driver to extract data from otp memory, like here
I'm ready to contribute, but not sure what's the future plan for those.

There is no support for this driver in the main kernel, it is only in the old BSP.

I know there's no support, I checked the sources. But the driver seems to be simple enough and .dts changes are trivial. I can port the code from firefly kernel and create PR, but will probably need some help.

Ok

 

I'll start with questions then: 
1) i got the armbian 5.17 kernel, patched the dts file, built a new .dtd, tried that on my device
2) Now i can see OTP device: 
 

# find /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/otp\@fe38c000/
/sys/firmware/devicetree/base/otp@fe38c000/
/sys/firmware/devicetree/base/otp@fe38c000/#address-cells
/sys/firmware/devicetree/base/otp@fe38c000/cpu-leakage@1a
/sys/firmware/devicetree/base/otp@fe38c000/cpu-leakage@1a/reg
....

and cpuinfo device:
 

# find /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/cpuinfo
/sys/firmware/devicetree/base/cpuinfo
/sys/firmware/devicetree/base/cpuinfo/nvmem-cells
/sys/firmware/devicetree/base/cpuinfo/compatible
/sys/firmware/devicetree/base/cpuinfo/nvmem-cell-names
/sys/firmware/devicetree/base/cpuinfo/name


But if I understand correctly, devices with NVMEM cells should be exposed to userspace as /sys/bus/nvmem/devices/somethingsomething/nvmem, but i got nothing there:
 

# find /sys/bus/nvmem/
/sys/bus/nvmem/
/sys/bus/nvmem/uevent
/sys/bus/nvmem/drivers_autoprobe
/sys/bus/nvmem/devices
/sys/bus/nvmem/drivers_probe
/sys/bus/nvmem/drivers

 

So, am I doing something wrong or this is expected behaviour? Do I need a loaded and active device driver for nvmem cells to be available via /sys/bus/nvmem or correct device tree definition should be enough?

This should work:

# cat /proc/device-tree/serial-number

 

Nope

 

# find /proc/device-tree/serial-number
find: ‘/proc/device-tree/serial-number’: No such file or directory

 

Don't see a 'serial-number' device in .dts files for rk356x, are you sure it works on Station M2 for you?

sorry, a typo. Of course i meant

I've corrected the topic subject for you.
