Using I2C api in uboot with 7ulp

arthur_rythm — Fri, 14 Feb 2020 09:07:28 GMT

Hi,

I am using uboot from official repository Aurora : uboot-imx - i.MX U-Boot

Tag : rel_imx_4.14.98_2.3.0

I am using the mx7ulp_10x10_arm2 defconfig.

I would like to use i2c api in my board init code to drive a peripheral.

I used to pilot i2c device with i2c_setup, i2c_write, etc...

Problem is that I have plenty of problem to used i2c api with 7ulp in uboot.

There is plenty of missing stuff in code. Is there a new I2C api in recent uboot ? LPI2C ?

Some example of my modification :

First to used I2C api from i2c-mxv7.c, there is no define for 7ulp SOC, I have to add it :

diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-imx/Makefile b/arch/arm/mach-imx/Makefile
index 1d13812b8a..2376fff7ab 100644
--- a/arch/arm/mach-imx/Makefile
+++ b/arch/arm/mach-imx/Makefile
@@ -54,6 +54,7 @@ ifeq ($(SOC),$(filter $(SOC),mx7ulp))
obj-y += cache.o
obj-$(CONFIG_IMX_VIDEO_SKIP) += video.o
obj-$(CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT) += hab.o
+obj-$(CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MXC) += i2c-mxv7.o
endif
ifeq ($(SOC),$(filter $(SOC),vf610))
obj-y += ddrmc-vf610.o

Then after including <asm/mach-imx/mxc_i2c.h> in my code, I have plenty of multiple define

from arch/arm/include/asm/mach-imx/iomux-v3.h. So I have to comment plenty of stuff

from iomux-v3.

There is also no I2CX_BASE_ADDR available in include. Only LPI2CX_BASE_ADDR ?

Thanks,

Hi Arthur

i.MX7ULP (along with i.MX8QM/QXP) uses LPI2C module different

from I2C module used in i.MX7D procesor (and i.MX8MQ).

Its driver

imx_lpi2c.c\i2c\drivers - uboot-imx - i.MX U-Boot

"CONFIG_SYS_I2C_IMX_LPI2C=y"

mx7ulp_evk_defconfig\configs - uboot-imx - i.MX U-Boot

Also examples can be found in MX7ULP MCUXpresso SDK for i.MX Cortex-M

Hello igorpadykov‌,

Thanks for your reply.

I was trying to start to work on this topic. I was looking at your link.

This API seems to be cool but all functions are static!

Do I have to include .c file in an ugly way?

It is quite weird to have a source file with only static function.

Moreover, there is not one example in all uboot source using this lpi2c api.

No more luck in official uboot tree.

Hi Arthur

I think you are right, there are no examples in uboot sources

using lpi2c api, so you will have to write it yourself.
