9.1.2. Misc sensors (fingerprint, hall, keyboard cover)¶
The small peripherals that don’t carry enough register/protocol-level detail
to earn their own page: the fingerprint sensor, the hall-effect cover switch,
and the detachable keyboard cover’s connector pins. All are DT-bound and
built into artifacts/kernel (DTBO overlays); none of them needed
disassembly beyond confirming the binding. None of these are physical keys
you press — the power/volume buttons are in Physical keys: power, volume, and the boot-mode dispatcher.

The camera nodes (qcom,cam-sensor@*, qcom,eeprom@*) in the overlay are
stock SM6350 reference-design entries with no populated sensor on this PCB — the
same reference-base pattern as the DSI/AMOLED panel names (Display pipeline — DSI transport to the color e-ink TCON).
9.1.2.2. Fingerprint¶
Three vendor drivers are compiled in and DT-described
(fortsense,fortsense_fp, chipsailing_fp, microarray_fp), all on SPI
with cs-gpios + reset/irq GPIOs; the driver whose chip is physically present
is inferred to bind (from the compiled-in-driver structure, not traced at
runtime) — the same “compile every candidate, whichever chip answers wins”
pattern as the pen/touch swappable suppliers (Wacom EMR pen digitizer driver,
Capacitive touch (Parade pt_core)). The secure/enrolment side is handled off-CPU (the
fpchips64 firmware in /vendor/firmware and the TZ path,
Secure world and coprocessors (TZ, HYP, trustlets)).
9.1.2.3. Hall sensor¶
onyx_hall is a magnetic-field switch on an irq-gpio, used to detect
the magnetic cover opening/closing (sleep/wake the panel). It reports a
proximity/field state, not a press — not a key.
9.1.2.4. Keyboard cover¶
onyx,keyboard-ultra2 is the detachable pogo-pin keyboard cover, identified
by id-gpio/id-gpio2 and woken via wake-gpio (kernel
onyx_keyboard_connect path). This DT node only describes the connector
pins — presence detection and wake — not the keyboard’s own individual keys,
which this dump has no register/protocol-level visibility into. The power and
volume buttons, which are physical keys, are documented in Physical keys: power, volume, and the boot-mode dispatcher.
9.1.2.5. Sensors and charger (documented elsewhere)¶
Sensors (IMU, ALS, etc.) run on the ADSP via the SSC/QMI stack (
qcom,qmi-sensors); there is no separate SLPI core on this SM6350 build (ADSP and CDSP firmware).Charger is the PM7250B
qcom,qpnp-smb5with the SMB1396/SMB1398 charge pumps (qcom,smb1396-div2-cp-master/-slave/smb1398-pre-regulator) for fast charging (PMIC reset timers, charging and reachability).
9.1.2.6. Provenance¶
- Source:
artifacts/dtbo_a/overlay_0.dts(allcompatiblebindings, SPI/GPIO assignments).- Method:
device-tree reading only — none of these devices carried enough register/protocol content to warrant static disassembly beyond confirming the DT binding. No code executed.
- Cross-refs:
Wacom EMR pen digitizer driver, Capacitive touch (Parade pt_core), Secure world and coprocessors (TZ, HYP, trustlets), ADSP and CDSP firmware, PMIC reset timers, charging and reachability, Physical keys: power, volume, and the boot-mode dispatcher, DTBO overlays.
