Using USERDEF1 and USERDEF2 GPIO's on IMX53 Ubuntu

praveendosapati — Fri, 26 Sep 2014 14:05:25 GMT

Hi all,

I would like to use USER1 and USER2 GPIO's provided on i.MX53 Quick start-R Board. In testing these GPIO's when I press the button it should be high on logic analyser but it is not becoming high, these Pins are always Low. But in boot-up initially they are becoming High. Should I need to do configure in Kernel while compilation. Could Some one help in Enabling this PINS.

I couldn't find /sys/class/gpio file location.

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,

Praveen

Hi praveen

in the 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.

FAQ All Boards GPIO Test

For example: 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 ;

Best regards

igor

Hello

if I type :

root@arm:/home/debian# cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio

GPIOs 0-31, platform/53f84000.gpio, 53f84000.gpio:

gpio-8 (Power Button ) in lo

GPIOs 32-63, platform/53f88000.gpio, 53f88000.gpio:

gpio-46 (Volume Up ) in hi

gpio-47 (Volume Down ) in hi

GPIOs 64-95, platform/53f8c000.gpio, 53f8c000.gpio:

gpio-75 (cd ) in hi

gpio-76 (wp ) in hi

GPIOs 96-127, platform/53f90000.gpio, 53f90000.gpio:

GPIOs 128-159, platform/53fdc000.gpio, 53fdc000.gpio:

GPIOs 160-191, platform/53fe0000.gpio, 53fe0000.gpio:

GPIOs 192-223, platform/53fe4000.gpio, 53fe4000.gpio:

gpio-198 (phy-reset ) out lo

gpio-199 (? ) out lo

gpio-200 (usb_vbus ) out lo

but

root@arm:/home/debian# echo 46 > /sys/class/gpio/export

bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy

any idea how to overcome this error?

Thanks

I find it

cd /sys/bus/platform/drivers/gpio-keys

echo gpio-keys > unbind

echo 46 > /sys/class/gpio/export
