eCSPI DMA problem for iMX6S

kdm84 — Mon, 16 Dec 2019 08:04:38 GMT

We are developping a device based on IMX6S. The driver of eCSPI in the BSP does not support DMA transfer, so we have written a driver that support DMA. We write a test program that transmit data to SPI, but we found that no value was sent from the DMA to the Tx FIFO of the SPI.

We set the register as shown below.

Initialize ECSPI2.

- ECSPI2_CONREG (0x01F0E2F9)

BURST_LENGTH = 31

CHANNEL_SELECT = 0 (CS0)

DRCTL = 0

PRE_DIVIDER = 14

POST_DIVIDER = 2

CHANNEL_MODE = 15 (ALL CS Master)

SMC = 1

XCH = 0

HT = 0

EN = 1

- ECSPI2_CONFIGREG (0x00000100)

HT_LENGTH =0

SCLK_CTL = 0

DATA_CTL = 0

SS_POL = 0

SS_CTL = 1 (SS_CTL_CS0)

SCLK_POL = 0

SCLK_PHA = 0

- ECSPI2_INTREG (0x0)

: not setting

- ECSPI2_DMAREG (0xA09F0080)

RXTDEN = 1

RX_DMA_LENGTH = 32

RXDEN = 1

RX_THRESHOLD = 31

TEDEN = 1

TX_THRESHOLD = 0

- ECSPI2_STATREG (0x3)

: not setting

TDR = 1

TE =1

- ECSPI2_TESTREG (0x80000000)

LBC = 1

-------------------------------------------------

prepare DMA.

- 32 byte tx/rx buffer

- Script addr

tx : mcu2app, rx : app2mcu

Buffer Descriptor Mode

Interrupt + Warp + Done

- 4byte buswidth

- burstsize = 32

- set callback function

- event number

tx : 6, rx : 5

TX DMA : chan=0x2, mode=0xb0020, peripAddr=0x200c004

RX DMA : chan=0x3, mode=0xb0020, peripAddr=0x200c000

-------------------------------------------------

set CS0

gpio set to high.

-------------------------------------------------

start DMA.

write (1 << tx_channel) to SDMA_HSTART(0x0C)

write (1 << rx_channel) to SDMA_HSTART(0x0C)

-------------------------------------------------

I tried to check sdma function in loopback mode.

Just write to 32bit data to ECSPI2_TXDATA(Transmit Data Register). then tx dma callback function indicated.

Do you have any idea where is the problem?

Hi Dong-Min

one can look at eCSPI5 example with sdma

imx6q.dtsi\dts\boot\arm\arch - linux-imx - i.MX Linux kernel

and documentation

fsl-imx-cspi.txt\spi\bindings\devicetree\Documentation - linux-imx - i.MX Linux kernel

I am implementing at the firmware level.
I'm referring to i.MX6_PLATFORM_SDK and Linux's imx-spi.c.

such kind of development can be supported only through

Commercial Support and Engineering Services | NXP
