Unable to access IPU Registers

aditkous — Fri, 28 Feb 2014 11:26:24 GMT

Hello all,

I'm trying to get a custom kernel working and for the framebuffer, access to the IPU registers is fundamental. IPU_1_BASE is at 0x02600000. But any sort of read/write access to any of the registers from here throws an error. For example, I tried stopping the DI0 pixel clock (IPUx_DI0_GENERAL) by setting it to 0. But it throws an error.

What I have done so far:

1. I read from here about enabling the clocks through CCM. Which I have done so far. I wrote 0x3 to both ipu_1_clk_enable and ipu1_ipu_di0_clk_enable in CCM::CCGR3.

2. I've also configured IOMUXC to IPU_enable through IOMUXC::GPR2 's CH0_MODE, BIT_MAPPING_CH0, DATA_WIDTH_CH0 and DI0_VS_POLARITY.

A R/W access to IPU module still doesn't work. Clearly, what I've done so far is either wrong/incomplete.

What is the procedure to get the IPU (and by extension, the framebuffer) enabled and working? I couldn't find the particular answer in the reference manual. Any idea/assistance would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks and regards

Aditya Kousik

Here is an update on this issue. I have tinkered with the CCM register values to enable ipu_clk_enable and ipu_di0_clk_enable by writing 0x3 to CCGR3. Resetting CSCMR2 and setting ldb_di0_ipu_div. Reset CDCDR. This set of instructions gave me access to a part of the IPU registers i.e. IPUx_CONF to IPUx_CH_BUF2_RDY1. But a simple read from IPU_IDMAC_CONF crashes the system. This led me to look into the IPUx_CONF register where I found 'enable' bits to the sub-modules. I had set the CONF register to 0x660 for configuring enabling DP,DMFC, DI,DC to enable. And since IDMAC is a disable register, a R/W to IDMAC should work.

Quite stuck so far. Freescale team, please provide some insight,

Thanks,

Aditya

Hi,

If you want to read an IPU register inside kernel code, you can use the followign lines:

reg = __raw_readl(IC_PP_RSC);

printk(KERN_INFO "*** Register IPU %x ***\n", reg);

You can try to do it on Freescale kernel.
