Error occurs when interfacing another Octal memory with FlexSPI

priyank_bhatt — Wed, 07 Oct 2020 06:20:32 GMT

Hello,

We are using a custom board based on iMX8QXPMEK. We are using Yocto Zeus with BSP L5.4.24-2.1.0.
In this board, we have provided support for connecting two memories on the flexSPI interface similar to the below diagram from the reference manual,

In our dts file, we have added another node inside &flexspi0 as follows

ram0: abc@1 { reg = <1>; #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <1>; compatible = "my-driver"; spi-max-frequency = <60000000>; spi-tx-bus-width = <8>; spi-rx-bus-width = <8>; };

But when the board boot-up, it shows the below error msgs

[ 1.296063] imx8qxp-pinctrl scu:pinctrl: pin IMX8QXP_QSPI0B_SCLK already requested by scu:pinctrl; cannot claim for 5d120000.spi
[ 1.307656] imx8qxp-pinctrl scu:pinctrl: pin-165 (5d120000.spi) status -22
[ 1.314553] imx8qxp-pinctrl scu:pinctrl: could not request pin 165 (IMX8QXP_QSPI0B_SCLK) from group flexspi0grp on device scu:pinctrl
[ 1.326661] nxp-fspi 5d120000.spi: Error applying setting, reverse things back
[ 1.333925] nxp-fspi: probe of 5d120000.spi failed with error -22

We are not even using IMX8QXP_QSPI0B_SCLK pins in our HW connections. Still getting these errors.
The error remains even if the flash0: mt35xu512aba@0 node is disabled.

Kindly help to resolve the issue.

Thank you.

Hi priyank_bhatt

regarding "could not request pin 165 IMX8QXP_QSPI0B_SCLK" error one can

recheck dts/dtsi files if that pin included twice and rebuild image from scratch.

Just for test one can compile i.MX8QXP MEK dts, where this pin is used :

Hi @igorpadykov,

Thank you for a quick reply.

By removing the unnecessary pin muxing I was able to resolve this issue. But I am still not able to communicate to the Octal RAM connected to the flexSPI interface.

Can you confirm that the node I added in the device tree(refer to original query) file is correct for the HW design(refer to original query) we used on the custom board? I mean will this node trigger the QSPI0A_SS1_B chip select pin connected to the Octal RAM?

Thank you.

one can check if this part is present in struct spi_nor_ids[]

We have removed multiple pinmuxing in the DTS file.
Also we have created a driver and changed compatible field appropriately. Theses changes resolved the issue.

Thank you.
