imx8ulp m33 core gpio

tangchao90 — Mon, 07 Apr 2025 09:03:39 GMT

my dts configure is:

rpmsg_gpioa: gpio@0 {
compatible = "fsl,imx-rpmsg-gpio";
port_idx = <0>;
gpio-controller;
#gpio-cells = <2>;
#interrupt-cells = <2>;
interrupt-controller;
interrupt-parent = <&rpmsg_gpioa>;
status = "okay";
};

and when the system start , i do the command below

gpioget -c gpiochip0 0

[ 1387.700991] gpio_rpmsg virtio0.rpmsg-io-channel.-1.4: rpmsg not ack 1!
gpioget: unable to request lines: Invalid argument

I sure the gpiochip0 is the gpioa,

how can I control the m33 gpio?

Hello,

For the default m33 binary(power mode switch demo), this demo only register these two pins in sdk.

Linux side test:

You need register any gpios in sdk manually.

Best Regards,
Zhiming

hello

Great, i can do it also!

"gpioget -c gpiochip1 5" can work well

"gpioset -c gpiochip1 5=1" but this command is blocked, I don't know why

Hello,

This gpio is setting as interrput pin for touchscreen in GPIOB_INT0_IRQHandler. If you need to test m33 rpmsg gpio setting, please register another unused pin in app_srtm.c

Best Regards,
Zhiming

hello Zhiming

i have a try, i use the demo of boards/evkmimx8ulp/driver_examples/rgpio/led_output

i change the GPIOE6 to GPIOC0, the gpio may be taking turns to shine，but it's not!

我这边验证过了，需要修改atf，把GPIOC的时钟打开。

plat/imx/imx8ulp/imx8ulp_bl31_setup.c

mmio_write_32(0x28091000 + 0xbc, 0xc0000000); mmio_write_32(0x28820010, 0xffffffff); mmio_write_32(0x28820014, 0x3); mmio_write_32(0x28820018, 0xffffffff); mmio_write_32(0x2882001c, 0x3);

Hello @Zhiming_Liu

I want to use lpuart polling example on SDK, the demo_example is LPUART1, but I want to use LPUART2.

How to config PCC_REG(kCLOCK_Lpuart2)?I read reg of LPUART1 and LPUART2 CLOCK, result is 0xd2000000 and 0.I guess the system has configured the LPUART clock with default settings.

Re: imx8ulp m33 core gpio

Zhiming_Liu — Wed, 16 Apr 2025 00:11:07 GMT

Hello,

Please use other clock as source, then continue debug, you may need to configure trdc for edma access like LPUART1 in BOARD_SetTrdcGlobalConfig

Best Regards,
Zhiming

wendy-liu — Wed, 16 Apr 2025 03:21:50 GMT

Hello @Zhiming_Liu

According to your suggestion, I add some configutation in

voidBOARD_SetTrdcGlobalConfig(void) as below:

/* non secure state can access lpuart2(PBridge2 slot 11, T-MBC3) for eDMA0 */

mbcBlockConfig.memoryAccessControlSelect = TRDC_MBC_ACCESS_CONTROL_POLICY_ALL_INDEX;

mbcBlockConfig.nseEnable = true; /* non secure state can access the block for eDMA0 */

mbcBlockConfig.mbcIdx = 3U; /* MBC3 */

mbcBlockConfig.domainIdx = TRDC_DMA0_DOMAIN_ID; /* MBC2_DOM0 */

mbcBlockConfig.slaveMemoryIdx = 0U; /* MBC3_DOM0_MEM0 */

mbcBlockConfig.memoryBlockIdx = 11U; /* MBC3_DOM0_MEM0_BLK_CFG_W11 */

TRDC_MbcSetMemoryBlockConfig(TRDC, &mbcBlockConfig);

But the result is that I don't read reg of LPUART2[PCC_REG(

kCLOCK_Lpuart2). It means the Peripheral is not present...

Is there any new information on this?Looking forward to your reply!

hello! @Zhiming_Liu

我刚刚又看了SDK中dsp_examples的sample code，他们的做法是在CM33上初始化DSP及硬件资源，启动DSP core；将实现的代码逻辑放在DSP core，通过MU进行通信。
我想确认一下，如果想在CM33使用LPUART2，只能通过这种方式吗？还是可以在CM33通过TRDC直接访问外设？

Re: imx8ulp m33 core gpio

Zhiming_Liu — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 07:32:48 GMT

Hello,

理论上是可以开放Pbridge2的特定内存区域给指定domain的，控制MBC3即可，开放PCC2和LPUART2的控制权给M33。对应的LPUART2中断号也在M33中定义了。

核心问题是时钟，由于这个LPUART2做在了DSP里，必须使能dsp_busclk，至少得加载dsp固件。具体的过程我还没试过。

Zhiming

我读了kCLOCK_FusionDspBusClk的频率，通过CLOCK_GetFreq(kCLOCK_FusionDspBusClk)，它的频率为96000000。但是依然无法调用CLOCK_SetIpSrc()。麻烦您可以帮我再验证一下吗？谢谢！

Re: imx8ulp m33 core gpio

wendy-liu — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 07:44:07 GMT

PCC2和LPUART2的MBC权限我也配置了，

/* non secure state can access lpuart2(PBridge2 slot 11, T-MBC3) for eDMA0 */
mbcBlockConfig.memoryAccessControlSelect = TRDC_MBC_ACCESS_CONTROL_POLICY_ALL_INDEX;
mbcBlockConfig.nseEnable = true; /* non secure state can access the block for eDMA0 */
mbcBlockConfig.mbcIdx = 3U; /* MBC3 */
mbcBlockConfig.domainIdx = TRDC_DMA0_DOMAIN_ID; /* MBC3_DOM0 */
mbcBlockConfig.slaveMemoryIdx = 0U; /* MBC3_DOM0_MEM0 */
mbcBlockConfig.memoryBlockIdx = 11U; /* MBC3_DOM0_MEM0_BLK_CFG_W11 */
TRDC_MbcSetMemoryBlockConfig(TRDC, &mbcBlockConfig);

/* non secure state can access PCC2(PBridge2 slot 2, T-MBC3) for eDMA0 */
mbcBlockConfig.memoryAccessControlSelect = TRDC_MBC_ACCESS_CONTROL_POLICY_ALL_INDEX;
mbcBlockConfig.nseEnable = true; /* non secure state can access the block for eDMA0 */
mbcBlockConfig.mbcIdx = 3U; /* MBC3 */
mbcBlockConfig.domainIdx = TRDC_DMA0_DOMAIN_ID; /* MBC3_DOM0 */
mbcBlockConfig.slaveMemoryIdx = 0U; /* MBC3_DOM0_MEM0 */
mbcBlockConfig.memoryBlockIdx = 2U; /* MBC3_DOM0_MEM0_BLK_CFG_W2 */
TRDC_MbcSetMemoryBlockConfig(TRDC, &mbcBlockConfig);

Re: imx8ulp m33 core gpio

Zhiming_Liu — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 07:56:12 GMT

你这个用的不对TRDC_DMA0_DOMAIN_ID，这两个外设应该给M33 domain：TRDC_M33_DOMAIN_ID

另外你可能需要把board.c 1010行的这个段打开：

#if 0 /* 5. Assign domain ID for m33 */ trdc_processor_domain_assignment_t domainAssignment; TRDC_GetDefaultProcessorDomainAssignment(&domainAssignment); domainAssignment.domainId = TRDC_M33_DOMAIN_ID; TRDC_SetProcessorDomainAssignment(TRDC, &domainAssignment); #endif

我按照你的建议修改了代码，CLOCK_SetIpSrc还是会报错，kCLOCK_Lpuart2的寄存器读出来还是0.

附上我的patch供参考。麻烦帮我再看一下，谢谢！！

Re: imx8ulp m33 core gpio

wendy-liu — Sat, 19 Apr 2025 08:48:10 GMT

@Zhiming_Liu

Hello！我有了一些新的进展，我调用CLOCK_SetIpSrc成功设置了时钟，也读到了kCLOCK_Lpuart2，为0x80000000。但是我在while循环调用LPUART_WriteByte(DEMO_LPUART, 0xaa)接口往串口写数据，调用LPUART_ReadByte(DEMO_LPUART)读数据。却没有读到数据，波形也没测量到。用串口调试助手发数据能接收到，说明硬件是没问题的。我下一步应该往什么方向排查呢？谢谢！附件为我的patch。

Hello @wendy-liu

你现在能在串口看到打印信息对吧？原来main函数的收发逻辑无法正常使用吗？demo说明有下注意事项。

The lpuart_polling Example project is to demonstrate usage of the KSDK lpuart driver. In the example, you can send characters to the console back and they will be printed out onto console instantly. Note: Please input one character at a time. If you input too many characters each time, the receiver may overflow because the LPUART uses simple polling way for receiving.

不行你就把LPUART2的寄存器 dump出来，然后和LPUART1的比较一下差异吧。

Best Regards,
Zhiming

wendy-liu — Sat, 19 Apr 2025 09:38:08 GMT

是的，我刚打印了，我发现状态寄存器有点问题。发数据的时候TDRE和TC这两位都是0。

Hello,

LPUART1的PCC REG是

你读出来的LPUART2的REG只有第31是1，你把这个寄存器读取放到RESET_PeripheralReset之后再读一次看看？

还有：BOARD_InitDebugConsole中会用到LPUART1的这些宏，你都改成2了吗？
