How to export arbitrary GPIOs in i.MX8

Hayato — Tue, 14 May 2024 05:47:15 GMT

Dear Support,

I'm using i.MX8QXP-CPU (MEK + BB).
I want to use the PIN below as pps input.
============================================
./work-shared/imx8qxpc0mek/kernel-source/include/dt-bindings/pinctrl/pads-imx8qxp.h
#define SC_P_CSI_RESET 149 /* CI_PI.RESET, CI_PI.I2C.SDA, ADMA.I2C3.SDA, ADMA.SPI1.CS0, LSIO.GPIO3.IO03 */
============================================

I disabled the SC_P_CSI_RESET because it is assigned to some other PIN.
The modified file is as attached.

Also, In order to export GPIO, I executed the following command with GPIO=67, but an error occurs.

Is the GPIO corresponding to the above PIN correct at 67?
If GPIO=67 is fine, could you tell me why the error occurs (and how to deal with it)?
============================================
root@imx8qxpc0mek:/proc/device-tree/pps# echo 67 > /sys/class/gpio/export
[ 448.259672] export_store: invalid GPIO 67
-sh: echo: write error: Invalid argument
============================================

Best regards,
Hayato Numata

Hello,

Please type the following command first. Check the pin mapping in the system.

cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio

FYI. Please read this. I have explain how to find out the gpio number.

Hope this can help you.

Best regards,

Jimmy

Dear Support,

Sorry for late reply.

Thank you for your support.
I executed the following command.
> cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio

What do you know from the results?
I kindly ask for your confirmation.

As your pin is LSIO.GPIO3.IO03, the address of lsio_gpio3 is 0x5d0b0000. ( https://github.com/nxp-imx/linux-imx/blob/imx_5.4.70_2.3.0/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8-ss-lsio.dtsi)

So, base on your result, the gpio is in the range "gpiochip3: GPIOs 384-415". The number is 384+3 = 387.
