imx53 quick start board

victorsaldaña — Thu, 12 Jun 2014 19:19:32 GMT

Estoy aprendiendo a usar la iMX53 QSB con s.o ubuntu, que viene con el kit.

Quisiera conseguir algun ejemplo, sencillo de como usar los interruptores de usuario 1 y 2, para manipular el encendido del LED para usuario (D16), para hacer un ejemplo de como programarlos.

Saludos

Hi Victor

please start with link below

FAQ All Boards GPIO Test

In file mx53_loco.c file the GPIO2_14 and GPIO2_15 are

configured and registered under gpio-keys. If you want to control

this GPIO using SYS interface you need to comment out the next lines

static struct gpio_keys_button loco_buttons[] = {

GPIO_BUTTON(MX53_nONKEY, KEY_POWER, 1, "power", 0),

/* GPIO_BUTTON(USER_UI1, KEY_VOLUMEUP, 1, "volume-up", 0),

GPIO_BUTTON(USER_UI2, KEY_VOLUMEDOWN, 1, "volume-down", 0), */

};

Moreover, be sure that you have selected

--Device Drivers

---GPIO Support

-- /sys/class/gpio (sysfs interface)

Recompile your kernel and replace it by the current one and you would

control these GPIO as the LED on the QSB.

Using KEY_ROW4 GPIO4[15] : 32*3 +15=111

echo 111 > /sys/class/gpio/export

echo "out" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio111/direction

value=/sys/class/gpio/gpio111/value

echo 1 > $value;

echo 0 > $value ;

Por ser principiante en el uso del iMX53 QSB tengo preguntas muy básicas, a la respuesta dada.

1.- Donde se encuentran los archivos In file mx53_loco.c file?

2.- Lo referente a "Moreover, be sure that you have selected" en que parte lo tengo que seleccionar?.

3.- "Recompile your kernel and replace it by the current one" Como se debe realizar, con que instrucción y si esta es ejecutada desde la terminal de Ubuntu, ?

4.- Using KEY_ROW4 GPIO4[15] : 32*3 +15=111 a que se refiere?

Hi Victor

I would suggest to start with 1) [Where can I found files mx53_loco.c file]

and build ltib.

L2.6.35_11_09_ER_SOURCE : Linux 2.6.35 Source Code Files and documentation

11.09. Supports MCIMX53-START and MCIMX53-START-R.

http://cache.freescale.com/files/dsp/doc/app_note/AN3875.pdf

Building a Linux Image and Downloading onto i.MX Processors Using a Virtual ... (REV 1)

Please read documentation and try to build ltib, in sources you will find

mx53_loco.c file. AN3875 explains how to use ltib.

Best regards
