Use the nvmem kernel api to expose the black box chip functionality to userspace. Using this feature, the device is capable of recording to nonvolatile flash memory the vital data about the system status that caused the system to perform a black box write. A blackbox is 64 bytes of data containing all the status registers, last two states of the sequencer, timestamp and counters. The mapping of this data is described in the adm1266 datasheet. On power-up the driver sets the unix time to the adm1266 using the SET_RTC command. This value is incremented by an internal clock and it is used as timestamp for the black box feature.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
