Use LCD pin for GPIO in iMX28

emanuelec — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 16:14:22 GMT

I'm newbie in iMX28 Linux programming. I use a LCD display with color depth 18bit. So I have 4 pins unused who I want use they like GPIO pins (from LCD_D08 to LDC_D11).

In mx28evk_pins.c I configured these pins in this manner (struct pin_desc):

.name = "nyname",

.id = PINID_LCD_D08,

.fun = PIN_GPIO,

.voltage = PAD_£_£V,

.output = 0,

and I call the function

mx28evk_init_pin_group(...,...)

and before I export these pins:

gpio_export(MXS_PIN_TO_GPIO(PINID_LCD_D08), false);

When Linux starts I see this error message for each pin:

WARNING: at drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c:103 gpio_ensure_requested+0x58/0x120()

autorequest GPIO-40

Is it possible to use these pins as GPIO? Do I change boot stream configuration (for example because there are some register one time writable)?

Thanks

I'm not sure but I believe it is warning message which says you haven't explicitly called gpio_request. The call tree shows

mx28evk_pins_init -> mx28evk_init_pin_group -> gpio_direction_input -> gpio_ensure_requested

Then warning message "WARNING: at drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c:103 gpio_ensure_requested+0x58/0x120()...autorequest GPIO-40" happens.

Take a look at drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c. gpio_ensure_requested() has detailed comment of intention of this function (which is not very commin in Linux Kernel code, though).

/* Warn when drivers omit gpio_request() calls -- legal but ill-advised

* when setting direction, and otherwise illegal. Until board setup code

* and drivers use explicit requests everywhere (which won't happen when

* those calls have no teeth) we can't avoid autorequesting. This nag

* message should motivate switching to explicit requests... so should

* the weaker cleanup after faults, compared to gpio_request().

* NOTE: the autorequest mechanism is going away; at this point it's

* only "legal" in the sense that (old) code using it won't break yet,

* but instead only triggers a WARN() stack dump.

Which is strange, as long as you define .fun=PIN_GPIO and called mx28evk_init_pin_group(), gpio_request(MXS_PIN_TO_GPIO(pin->id), pin->name); must be already called before gpio_direction_input().

Perhaps your gpio_request() is rejected for some reason? I recommend to insert printk() to see what happend.

if (pin->fun == PIN_GPIO) {

int ret;

ret = gpio_request(MXS_PIN_TO_GPIO(pin->id), pin->name);

if (pin->id == PINID_LCD_D08) {

printk(KERN_INFO "gpio_request(PINID_LCD_D08) result=%d\n", ret);

}

Thanks,

I not sure what I made but now it runs without problems!

Only for a more complete description this is the code I used (in my own mx28evk_pins.c):

static struct pin_desc acq_version_pins[] = {

{

.name = "V.0",

.id = PINID_LCD_D08,

.fun = PIN_GPIO,

.voltage = PAD_3_3V,

.strength = PAD_8MA,

.output = 0,

{

.name = "V.1",

.id = PINID_LCD_D09,

.fun = PIN_GPIO,

.voltage = PAD_3_3V,

.strength = PAD_8MA,

.output = 0,

...and otyher pins description at the same manner

In function mx28evk_pins_init I call:

void __init mx28evk_pins_init(void) {

mx28evk_init_pin_group(mx28evk_fixed_pins,ARRAY_SIZE(mx28evk_fixed_pins));

...

mx28evk_init_pin_group(acq_version_pins,ARRAY_SIZE(acq_version_pins));

gpio_export(MXS_PIN_TO_GPIO(PINID_LCD_D08), false);

gpio_export(MXS_PIN_TO_GPIO(PINID_LCD_D09), false);

Now I have all the gpioXXX exported in sysfs and all works fine!

Thanks.
