Recently a customer discovered some empty spots in the documentation (mostly hardware related, which isn't covered by the datasheets).

@lategoodbye lategoodbye requested review from FaHaGit and mhei July 21, 2025 12:49
The i.MX93 on the Charge SOM provides several I2C interfaces:

We should try to avoid introducing more and more different abbreviations, so I'd recommend to use "Charge SOM" here instead of "CSOM". Also I'd use "Single Channel DC Carrier Board" instead of "EVB".

The following devices on the Charge SOM are connected to I2C3:

* PMIC (0x25)
* EEPROM (0x50, 0x58)

Maybe we can fold the lists directly in the table above?


The signal CHSTOP_IN is connected to the i.MX93 SoC and could be used to gracefully stop the charging process. So it is not designed
for timing critical use cases. Instead use the SAFETY_ESTOPx signals, which are connected to the safety processor to realize realtime
emergency stop behavior.

Maybe we should add a note that this work is pending, at the moment, there is no EVerest module which connects such a GPIO to the graceful stop command.

nit: I'd spell "Carrier Board" with upper case first letters
