You can call EC_GROUP_set_coordinates() and EC_GROUP_restore_coordinates() to change coordinates and restore default. When you hope to use some EC APIs under expected coordinates, you need to call EC_GROUP_set_coordinates() before EC APIs and EC_GROUP_restore_coordinates() after them. Like the below example: orig_coordinate = EC_GROUP_set_coordinates(EC_PROJECTIVE_COORDINATES); group = EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(NID_sm2p256v1); EC_GROUP_restore_coordinates(orig_coordinate);   ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++     updating at 2020-11-09   +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This updating is for Yocto release of Linux 5.4.47_2.2.0​​.

    Xenomai is real-time framework, which can run seamlessly side-by-side Linux as a co-kernel system, or natively over mainline Linux kernels (with or without PREEMPT-RT patch). The dual kernel nicknamed Cobalt, is a significant rework of the Xenomai 2.x system. Cobalt implements the RTDM specification for interfacing with real-time device drivers. The native linux version, an enhanced implementation of the experimental Xenomai/SOLO work, is called Mercury. In this environment, only a standalone implementation of the RTDM specification in a kernel module is required, for interfacing the RTDM-compliant device drivers with the native kernel. You can get more detailed information from Home · Wiki · xenomai / xenomai · GitLab       I have ported xenomai 3.1 to i.MX Yocto 4.19.35-1.1.0, and currently support ARM64 and test on i.MX8MQ EVK board. I did over night test( 5 real-time threads + GPU SDK test case) and stress test by tool stress-ng on i.MX8MQ EVK board. It looks lile pretty good. Current version (20200730) also support i.MX8MM EVK.     You need git clone https://gitee.com/zxd2021-imx/xenomai-arm64.git, and git checkout xenomai-4.19.35-1.1.0-20200818 (which inlcudes all patches and bb file) and add the following variable in conf/local.conf before build xenomai by command bitbake xenomai.  XENOMAI_KERNEL_MODE = "cobalt"  PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-imx = "4.19-${XENOMAI_KERNEL_MODE}" IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " xenomai" or XENOMAI_KERNEL_MODE = "mercury" PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-imx = "4.19-${XENOMAI_KERNEL_MODE}" IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " xenomai" If XENOMAI_KERNEL_MODE = "cobalt", you can build dual kernel version. And If XENOMAI_KERNEL_MODE = "mercury", it is single kernel with PREEMPT-RT patch.

Why SWPDM?   In order to process human voice, it is required to have the best audio resolution in the incoming data captured by the microphones. This mean, having a resolution of 16bits is not enough to capture all the information to properly process the voice. Voice processing requires a peripheral capable of capture data on a 32bits resolution within the range of the most common sample rates (16kHz, 44.1kHz, 48Khz, etc.). On the i.MX8M family there is a peripheral which fulfill those requirements and is called MICFIL. MICFIL is a peripheral which convert PDM (Pulse Density Modulation) data to PCM (Pulse-Code Modulation) data. The PDM format encode the analog signal in just one bit. Where 1 means the signal is increasing in amplitude while 0 means the opposite. In the other hand, the PCM format encode the data in 8, 16, or 32 bits. The advantage of PDM is that the creation of microphones is cheaper than having PCM microphones but then you will need a software or hardware which do the conversion for PDM to PCM since PDM cannot be processed. This is the reason of the MICFIL peripheral. However, not all the MICFIL's on the difference SOMs are the same. While the i.MX8MPLUS has a resolution of 32bits its smaller brothers do not. i.MX8MMINI and i.MX8MNANO have a MICFIL which only allows a resolution up to 16bits. For most of the cases it will be enough but not for voice processing. Nevertheless, not everything is lost; As mentioned previously, the PDM to PCM conversation can be done by hardware or by software. NXP also have the algorithm in software to do the conversation. Therefore, if a Mini or Nano is being used for voice processing it is fully recommended to use the ALSA SWPDM Plugin and avoid MICFIL peripheral.   Using the Plugin   In order to use the plugin, it is required to change the DTB to  imx8mm-evk-8mic-swpdm.dtb , when using the i.MX8MM or  imx8mn-evk-8mic-swpdm.dtb , when using the i.MX8MN. In order to do so follow the next steps: Please notice below example if for Mini. For Nano will be the same just changing the DTB name to imx8mn-evk-8mic-swpdm.dtb. # Stop at U-boot u-boot=> edit fdtfile edit: imx8mm-evk-8mic-swpmd.dtb u-boot=> saveenv u-boot=> boot   The change in the DTB is required to disable MICFIL so Linux can receive the raw data and sent it to the plugin. However, the plugin is not enabled by default, users need to explicit add the plugin to their ALSA pipeline. The way of doing so is by adding the following device to  /etc/asound.conf : pcm.cic { type cicFilter slave "hw:imxswpdmaudio,0" delay 100000 gain 0 OSR 48 }   Where: pcm.cic : Is an arbitrary name which allow ALSA to find the requested devices when setting the  -D  flag with  arecord  or  aplay . type cicFilter : This is the plugin type which is named with the algorithm name. slave: Name of the physical or virtual device which will be controlled by the cicFilter plugin. The recommendation is to always have the actual hardware connected to this plugin. delay : Amount of time in microsecond which the plugin won't write to the buffer, but it still does the conversion. The value could be between 100us to 1'000,000us. By removing the property from the structure, the delay will be set to 0. gain : A value between 0 and 100. OSR : Is related to the quality of the signal by increasing the PDM sample rate. With a higher valuer a best quality on the audio can be achieved. However, keep in mind than having a higher value will also require more memory to store all the new data due to the oversampling. The valid values for the OSR are: 48, 64, 96, 128, and 192. With all being said, the only thing left is to test the plugin by running the following command: $ arecord -D cic -c4 -r16000 -f s32_le --period-size=96 -d5 -v test.wav   Integration With AFE   The next and final step is integrating the plugin with AFE and VoiceSeeker. The integration of SWPDM requires to apply a patch to the SWPDM repository. The patch changes the amount of period sizes allowed on the plugin. By default, the plugin only allows certain values which are:  48 Samples = 3ch x 4bytes format x 16samples = 192 bytes. 48 Samples = 2ch x 4bytes format x 48samples = 384 bytes. 48 Samples = 4ch x 4bytes format x 48samples = 768 bytes. 96 Samples = 4ch x 4bytes format x 96samples = 1,536 bytes. Although, AFE and VoiceSeeker are extremely configurable, 48 or 96 samples for the algorithm is too small. Meaning that the SWPDM should support a bigger period size, not all the way around. By applying the attached file, the plugin can have a period size from 64 bytes (1ch and 16 samples) up to 16,384 bytes (4ch and 1024 samples). However, the number of samples can vary depending on the OSR value and the number of channels. Once the patch has been applied in must be installed on: /usr/lib/alsa-lib (if the repository is being built on a standalone environment). AFE opens a device called mic  for capture the microphones' input. This device can have anything below it. By default, have the following definition on /etc/asound.conf  (after following the steps described on the TODO.md file). # mic represents the physical source (capture) pcm.mic { type plug slave.pcm "hw:micfilaudio,0" }   The devices opens the MICFIL driver, but on this case MICFIL is disable, which means the definition of the device must change. From above cic  device the definition can be copy and paste and then tweak one parameter. The delay must be set to 0 by removing the property or setting it explicitly on the structure. If this step if forgotten this might cause some underrun issues. The device definition will be: pcm.mic { type cicFilter slave "hw:imxswpdmaudio,0" delay 0 gain 0 OSR 48 }   The last thing to do will be running AFE with VoiceSeeker as usual. $ /unit_tests/nxp-afe/voice_ui_app & $ /unit_tests/nxp-afe/afe libvoiceseekerlight &   Considerations and Restrictions With all that said, there are few things left to mention, which are the considerations and restrictions on the plugin itself. These are good things to know before adding the plugin into any application. The plugin is supported from the Linux BSP 5.15.32. Currently the plugin only supports up to 4 channels. Plugin only outputs a S32_LE format (if required another format please use MICFIL). By applying above patch, the period size must be a multiple of 16, due to a limitation on the algorithm itself, rather than the plugin. The driver only allows to have one microphone per data-line while MICFIL allows to have two microphones per data-line. The SWPDM Plugin is based on the External Plugin: I/O Plugin. This means it also have the restriction of this ALSA plugin, being the following restriction the most important one: "The I/O-type plugin is a PCM plugin to work as the input or output terminal point, i.e. as a user-space PCM driver". In other words, there can't be any device/plugin on top of it, not even a "plug" type. 

Sometimes we need to use an SPI bus to communicate with sensors or another device. Unfortunately, by default on iMX8MN-EVK, we have the ECSPI2 disabled on our BSP.   We can use that peripheral on Linux enabling it in the device tree.   To enable the ECSPI2 on the device tree we have to add the next on imx8mn-evk.dtsi:     status = "okay"; }; +&ecspi2 { + #address-cells = <1>; + #size-cells = <0>; + fsl,spi-num-chipselects = <1>; + pinctrl-names = "default"; + pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_ecspi2 &pinctrl_ecspi2_cs>; + cs-gpios = <&gpio5 13 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; + status = "okay"; + + spidev0: spi@0 { + reg = <0>; + compatible = "rohm,dh2228fv"; + spi-max-frequency = <500000>; + }; +}; + &fec1 { pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_fec1>;   On iomux node:   + pinctrl_ecspi2: ecspi2grp { + fsl,pins = < + MX8MN_IOMUXC_ECSPI2_SCLK_ECSPI2_SCLK 0x82 + MX8MN_IOMUXC_ECSPI2_MOSI_ECSPI2_MOSI 0x82 + MX8MN_IOMUXC_ECSPI2_MISO_ECSPI2_MISO 0x82 + >; + }; + + pinctrl_ecspi2_cs: ecspi2cs { + fsl,pins = < + MX8MN_IOMUXC_ECSPI2_SS0_GPIO5_IO13 0x40000 + >; + }; + pinctrl_ir_recv: ir-recv { fsl,pins = < MX8MN_IOMUXC_GPIO1_IO13_GPIO1_IO13 0x4f    after modifying and compiling the device tree you can see the device active like this:     Connection:   Test: spidev_test -D /dev/spidev1.0 -v       You can use the devsheell of yocto to make the changes:   https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors-Knowledge-Base/How-to-use-Devshell-to-compile-device-tree-files/ta-p/1727428

  For some applications, we need to reduce the CPU Frequency, but if you are not familiar with our BSP or our devices probably you need some help to do some configurations.   In this post, I will share the configuration to set up lower frequencies (100MHz, 200MHz, 400Mhz, 600MHz, 800MHz, and 1000MHz) on iMX8MP, iMX8MN, and iMX8MM.   Note: Works on Kernel 6.1.xx (not tested on oldest BSP)   1- We have to modify the PLL driver to set the proper parameters to lower frequencies. The file to modify is "clk-pll14xx.c" adding the following lines:   https://github.com/nxp-imx/linux-imx/blob/770c5fe2c1d1529fae21b7043911cd50c6cf087e/drivers/clk/imx/clk-pll14xx.c#L57   static const struct imx_pll14xx_rate_table imx_pll1416x_tbl[] = { PLL_1416X_RATE(1800000000U, 225, 3, 0), PLL_1416X_RATE(1600000000U, 200, 3, 0), PLL_1416X_RATE(1500000000U, 375, 3, 1), PLL_1416X_RATE(1400000000U, 350, 3, 1), PLL_1416X_RATE(1200000000U, 300, 3, 1), PLL_1416X_RATE(1000000000U, 250, 3, 1), PLL_1416X_RATE(800000000U, 200, 3, 1), PLL_1416X_RATE(750000000U, 250, 2, 2), PLL_1416X_RATE(700000000U, 350, 3, 2), PLL_1416X_RATE(600000000U, 300, 3, 2), + PLL_1416X_RATE(400000000U, 200, 3, 2), + PLL_1416X_RATE(200000000U, 200, 3, 3), + PLL_1416X_RATE(100000000U, 200, 3, 4), };   2- Once the pll driver has been modified, only we have to add the values on the opp-table according to the device that you will use.   2.1- For iMX 8MP:   https://github.com/nxp-imx/linux-imx/blob/lf-6.1.y/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mp.dtsi         a53_opp_table: opp-table { compatible = "operating-points-v2"; opp-shared; + opp-100000000 { + opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <100000000>; + opp-microvolt = <850000>; + opp-supported-hw = <0x8a0>, <0x7>; + clock-latency-ns = <150000>; + opp-suspend; + }; + opp-200000000 { + opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <200000000>; + opp-microvolt = <850000>; + opp-supported-hw = <0x8a0>, <0x7>; + clock-latency-ns = <150000>; + opp-suspend; + }; + opp-400000000 { + opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <400000000>; + opp-microvolt = <850000>; + opp-supported-hw = <0x8a0>, <0x7>; + clock-latency-ns = <150000>; + opp-suspend; + }; + opp-600000000 { + opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <600000000>; + opp-microvolt = <850000>; + opp-supported-hw = <0x8a0>, <0x7>; + clock-latency-ns = <150000>; + opp-suspend; + }; + opp-800000000 { + opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <800000000>; + opp-microvolt = <850000>; + opp-supported-hw = <0x8a0>, <0x7>; + clock-latency-ns = <150000>; + opp-suspend; + }; + opp-1000000000 { + opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <1000000000>; + opp-microvolt = <850000>; + opp-supported-hw = <0x8a0>, <0x7>; + clock-latency-ns = <150000>; + opp-suspend; + }; opp-1200000000 { opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <1200000000>;   2.2 For iMX8MM:   https://github.com/nxp-imx/linux-imx/blob/lf-6.1.y/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mm.dtsi     a53_opp_table: opp-table { compatible = "operating-points-v2"; opp-shared; + opp-100000000 { + opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <100000000>; + opp-microvolt = <850000>; + opp-supported-hw = <0xe>, <0x7>; + clock-latency-ns = <150000>; + opp-suspend; + }; + opp-200000000 { + opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <200000000>; + opp-microvolt = <850000>; + opp-supported-hw = <0xe>, <0x7>; + clock-latency-ns = <150000>; + opp-suspend; + }; + opp-400000000 { + opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <400000000>; + opp-microvolt = <850000>; + opp-supported-hw = <0xe>, <0x7>; + clock-latency-ns = <150000>; + opp-suspend; + }; + opp-600000000 { + opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <600000000>; + opp-microvolt = <850000>; + opp-supported-hw = <0xe>, <0x7>; + clock-latency-ns = <150000>; + opp-suspend; + }; + opp-800000000 { + opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <800000000>; + opp-microvolt = <850000>; + opp-supported-hw = <0xe>, <0x7>; + clock-latency-ns = <150000>; + opp-suspend; + }; + opp-1000000000 { + opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <1000000000>; + opp-microvolt = <850000>; + opp-supported-hw = <0xe>, <0x7>; + clock-latency-ns = <150000>; + opp-suspend; + }; opp-1200000000 { opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <1200000000>;   2.3- For iMX8MN:   https://github.com/nxp-imx/linux-imx/blob/lf-6.1.y/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mn.dtsi   compatible = "operating-points-v2"; opp-shared; + opp-100000000 { + opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <100000000>; + opp-microvolt = <850000>; + opp-supported-hw = <0xb00>, <0x7>; + clock-latency-ns = <150000>; + opp-suspend; + }; + + opp-200000000 { + opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <200000000>; + opp-microvolt = <850000>; + opp-supported-hw = <0xb00>, <0x7>; + clock-latency-ns = <150000>; + opp-suspend; + }; + + opp-400000000 { + opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <400000000>; + opp-microvolt = <850000>; + opp-supported-hw = <0xb00>, <0x7>; + clock-latency-ns = <150000>; + opp-suspend; + }; + + opp-600000000 { + opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <600000000>; + opp-microvolt = <850000>; + opp-supported-hw = <0xb00>, <0x7>; + clock-latency-ns = <150000>; + opp-suspend; + }; + + opp-800000000 { + opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <800000000>; + opp-microvolt = <850000>; + opp-supported-hw = <0xb00>, <0x7>; + clock-latency-ns = <150000>; + opp-suspend; + }; + + opp-1000000000 { + opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <1000000000>; + opp-microvolt = <850000>; + opp-supported-hw = <0xb00>, <0x7>; + clock-latency-ns = <150000>; + opp-suspend; + }; + opp-1200000000 { opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <1200000000>; opp-microvolt = <850000>;   After that, you should note the changes under Linux.   These commands return information about the system and the current settings.   • The kernel is pre-configured to support only certain frequencies.

Dynamic debug is designed to allow you to dynamically at runtime  enable/disable  kernel code to obtain additional kernel information. Currently, if ``CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG`` is set, then all ``pr_debug()``/``dev_dbg()`` and ``print_hex_dump_debug()``/``print_hex_dump_bytes()`` calls can be dynamically enabled per-callsite.    

Symptoms   Trying to initialize a repo, for example:  $repo init -u https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-manifest -b imx-linux-mickledore -m imx-6.1.36-2.1.0.xml we have the below log: File "/home/username/bin/repo", line 51 def print(self, *args, **kwargs): ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax   Workaround (1)   The first workaround consist in change the python alternatives (caused when you have installed two or more python versions). NOTE: in my case, the python version that i want to change as first priority is python3.8 $sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3.8 1   Then we run: $sudo update-alternatives --config python    To verify if your python priority was changed successfully try: $python --version   You should see the version configured as priority number 1.     Workaround (2)   The workaround is very simple, only we need modify the repo file $ nano ~/bin/repo   and we will change the python interpreter in the first line (from python to python3): ORIGINAL FILE   EDITED FILE   After to do this change, repo will works fine again.     I hope this can helps to you!   Best regards.

In the IMX8MM SDK unfortunately we cannot find any example about of use a GPIO as an input with interrupt.  To use a GPIO as input with interrupt we need to keep in mind how the GPIO IRQs works in the ARM Cortex M4.   We can find in Table 7-2 (CM4 Interrupt Summary) of IMX8MMRM (IMX8MM Reference Manual) the GPIOs IRQs are divided by two parts:     Combined interrupt indication for GPIOn signal 0 throughout 15  Combined interrupt indication for GPIOn signal 16 throughout 31    This basically means, the pines of GPIOn from 0 to 15 are handled by Combined interrupt indication for GPIOn signal 0 throughout 15 and the pines from 16 to 31 are handled by Combined interrupt indication for GPIOn signal 16 throughout 31.    In SDK we can find these definitions in:  <SDK root>/devices/MIMX8MM6/MIMX8MM6_cm4.h (Remember this is for IM8MM SDK)    In this example I will use GPIO5_IO12 (ECSPI2_MISO) as Input with IRQ and GPIO5_IO11 (ECSPI_MOSI) as Output of IMX8MM-EVK. I will connect the Output to the Input and will see the behavior of the IRQ in Rising and Falling edge.    For this example I will connect ECSPI2_MOSI (GPIO5_IO11) to ECSPI_MISO (GPIO5_IO12):   See the below definitions:   #define IN_GPIO   GPIO5  This define the GPIO base of the IN pin  #define IN_GPIO_PIN  12u  This define the pin number (for in)  #define IN_IRQ  GPIO5_Combined_0_15_IRQn  This define the IRQ number (72 in this case)  #define GPIO_IRQ_HANDLER  GPIO5_Combined_0_15_IRQHandler  This is a "pointer" to function that will handle the interrupt  #define IN_NAME  "IN GPIO5_IO12"  This is only a name or description for the pin    See below definitions:    #define OUT_GPIO  GPIO5  This is the GPIO base of OUT pin  #define OUT_GPIO_PIN  11u  This define the pin number (for out)  #define OUT_NAME  "OUT GPIO5_IO11"  This is only a name or description for the pin      Now the below section is the IRQ handler (which was defined before)😞   The GPIO_ClearPinsInterruptFlags(IN_GPIO, 1u << IN_GPIO_PIN); refers to GPIOx_ISR register:      For this example, the IRQ Handler will print "IRQ detected ............" in each interrupt.    We will create two different GPIOs config, one for Output and other one for Input with IRQ Falling edge:    Then configure the GPIOs and IRQ:     EnableIRQ refers to enable the 72 IRQ.   GPIO_PortEnableInterrupts refers to GPIOx_IMR: Finally, the example put the out GPIO5_IO11 in High state and then in low state many. First the IRQ is configured as Falling edge, then as Rising edge.     I will attach the complete source file.    To compile it you can use ARMGCC toolchain directly, but I like to use VSCode with MCUXpresso integration.  Once, when you have your .bin file (in my case igpio_led_output.bin) you can load to board with UUU tool: In your Linux machine: sudo uuu -b fat_write igpio_led_output.bin mmc 2:1 gpio.bin In U-boot board: u-boot=> fastboot 0   Then, when the .bin file was loaded, you can load to the CORTEX M4 in U-boot whit: u-boot=> fatload mmc 2:1 ${loadaddr} gpio.bin 7076 bytes read in 14 ms (493.2 KiB/s) u-boot=> cp.b 0x80000000 0x7e0000 0x10000 u-boot=> bootaux 0x7e0000 ## No elf image ar address 0x007e0000 ## Starting auxiliary core stack = 0x20020000, pc = 0x1FFE02CD... u-boot=>   NOTE: You can load the binary to cortex m4 with Custom bootscripts for practicity.   Once the binary loaded in M4 core you should see in seria terminal this logs (Remember GPIO5_IO11 and GPIO5_IO12 must be connected to get the same logs):    And the logs when you disconnect the GPIO5_IO11 and GPIO5_IO12 in execution time:  🔴Disconnection (Red color) 🔵Reconnection (Blue color)   I hope this can helps.     Best regards!    Salas. 

some customers doesn't have any issue on old bsp, but have bring up issue on new 6.1 bsp, this article is about this and how to fix this

Hello there. Here is a good way to use U-boot in an efficient way with custom scripts. The bootscript is an script that is automatically executed when the boot loader starts, and before the OS auto boot process. The bootscript allows the user to execute a set of predefined U-Boot commands automatically before proceeding with normal OS boot. This is especially useful for production environments and targets which don’t have an available serial port for showing the U-Boot monitor. This information can be find in U-Boot Reference Manual.   I will take the example load a binary file in CORTEX M4 of IMX8MM-EVK. In my case, I have the binary file in MMC 2:1 called gpio.bin and I will skip those steps because that is not the goal.   First, you need the u-boot-tools installed in your Linux machine: sudo apt install u-boot-tools   That package provide to us the tool mkimage to convert a text file (.src, .txt) file to a bootscript file for U-Boot.   Now, create your custom script, in this case a simple script for load binary file in Cortex M4: nano mycustomscript.scr  and write your U-Boot commands: fatload mmc 2:1 0x80000000 gpio.bin cp.b 0x80000000 0x7e0000 0x10000 bootaux 0x7e0000   Now we can convert the text file to bootscript with mkimage. Syntax: mkimage -T script -n "Bootscript" -C none -d <input_file> <output_file> mkimage -T script -n "Bootscript" -C none -d mycustomscript.scr LCM4-bootscript   This will create a file called LCM4-bootscript (Or as your called it).   A way to load this bootscript file to U-Boot is using the UUU tool, in U-Boot set the device in fastboot with command: u-boot=> fastboot 0 Then in linux with the board connected through USB to PC run the command: sudo uuu -b fat_write LCM4-bootscript mmc 2:1 LCM4-bootscript   Now we have our bootscript in U-Boot in MMC 2:1.   Finally, we can run the bootscript in U-Boot: u-boot=> load mmc 2:1 ${loadaddr} LCM4-bootscript 158 bytes read in 2 ms (77.1 KiB/s) u-boot=> source ${loadaddr} ## Executing script at 40400000 6656 bytes read in 5 ms (1.3 MiB/s) ## No elf image at address 0x007e0000 ## Starting auxiliary core stack = 0x20020000, pc = 0x1FFE02CD...   And the Cortex M4 booted successfully:    I hope this can helps to you.   Best regards.   Salas.  

Symptoms   On i.MX8MP, when inputting a 80% duty, 0.4V-1.8V, 3KHz square wave, we observed that the system may hang. We also tested i.MX8MN and i.MX8MM and observed the same phenomenon. In i.MX8MN RM, there's a note in GPC chapter:     We believe that the issue described in this note exists not only in the iMX8MN, but also in the iMX8MP and iMX8MM. Meanwhile, there is not only a problem with power down in this issue, but also a problem with wait mode. Diagnosis   In debugging, we find that avoiding accessing LPCR_A53_AD register in imx_set_cluster_powerdown can fix the issue. So we think that due to frequently power up/down of cores, cores have chances failed to power up. When the IRQ behavior become more complex, because the IRQ is an async event, it will come in any time. if the wait mode is enabled, in some conner case, the GPC internal LPM mode state machine will run into problem, then lead to system failure. Solution   1. A workaround patch that bypass the wait mode setting during the cpuidle.. See the patch attached. 2. Will add the Note about "SCU power down should not be enabled in wait mode" to i.MX8MP and i.MX8MM RM. 3. Will try to identify this issue into errta document, ticket TKT0632147.

How to use UART4 on iMX8M from Linux User Space   The UART4 on iMX8MM-EVK and iMX8MN-EVK are thinking of debugging the M core which is not usable on Linux user space by default on pre-compiled images.   To use the UART4 on Linux user space you have to do the next modifications on the device tree and atf to assign that peripheral to Linux User Space     https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-atf/blob/lf_v2.6/plat/imx/imx8m/imx8mm/imx8mm_bl31_setup.c     iMX8MN-EVK   imx8mn_bl31_setup.c   https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-atf/blob/lf_v2.6/plat/imx/imx8m/imx8mn/imx8mn_bl31_setup.c   /* Master domain assignment */ RDC_MDAn(RDC_MDA_M7, DID1), /* peripherals domain permission */ - RDC_PDAPn(RDC_PDAP_UART4, D1R | D1W), + RDC_PDAPn(RDC_PDAP_UART4, D0R | D0W), RDC_PDAPn(RDC_PDAP_UART2, D0R | D0W), RDC_PDAPn(RDC_PDAP_RDC, D0R | D0W | D1R),       Device tree configurations for iMX8MN-EVK   iMX8MN-EVK.dtsi   https://github.com/nxp-imx/linux-imx/blob/lf-6.1.y/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mn-evk.dtsi   &uart3 { pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_uart3>; assigned-clocks = <&clk IMX8MN_CLK_UART3>; assigned-clock-parents = <&clk IMX8MN_SYS_PLL1_80M>; uart-has-rtscts; status = "okay"; }; + &uart4 { + pinctrl-names = "default"; + pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_uart4>; + assigned-clocks = <&clk IMX8MN_CLK_UART4>; + assigned-clock-parents = <&clk IMX8MN_SYS_PLL1_80M>; + status = "okay"; + }; ********************** pinctrl_uart3: uart3grp { fsl,pins = < MX8MN_IOMUXC_ECSPI1_SCLK_UART3_DCE_RX 0x140 MX8MN_IOMUXC_ECSPI1_MOSI_UART3_DCE_TX 0x140 MX8MN_IOMUXC_ECSPI1_SS0_UART3_DCE_RTS_B 0x140 MX8MN_IOMUXC_ECSPI1_MISO_UART3_DCE_CTS_B 0x140 >; }; + pinctrl_uart4: uart4grp { + fsl,pins = < + MX8MN_IOMUXC_UART4_RXD_UART4_DCE_RX 0x140 + MX8MN_IOMUXC_UART4_TXD_UART4_DCE_TX 0x140 + >; + };   iMX8MM-EVK   https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-atf/blob/lf_v2.6/plat/imx/imx8m/imx8mm/imx8mm_bl31_setup.c   imx8mm_bl31_setup.c   /* Master domain assignment */ RDC_MDAn(RDC_MDA_M7, DID1), /* peripherals domain permission */ - RDC_PDAPn(RDC_PDAP_UART4, D1R | D1W), + RDC_PDAPn(RDC_PDAP_UART4, D0R | D0W), RDC_PDAPn(RDC_PDAP_UART2, D0R | D0W), RDC_PDAPn(RDC_PDAP_RDC, D0R | D0W | D1R),   Device tree configurations for iMX8MM-EVK   iMX8MM-EVK.dtsi   https://github.com/nxp-imx/linux-imx/blob/lf-6.1.y/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mm-evk.dtsi   &uart3 { pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_uart3>; assigned-clocks = <&clk IMX8MM_CLK_UART3>; assigned-clock-parents = <&clk IMX8MM_SYS_PLL1_80M>; uart-has-rtscts; status = "okay"; }; + &uart4 { + pinctrl-names = "default"; + pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_uart4>; + assigned-clocks = <&clk IMX8MM_CLK_UART4>; + assigned-clock-parents = <&clk IMX8MM_SYS_PLL1_80M>; + status = "okay"; + }; ********************** pinctrl_uart3: uart3grp { fsl,pins = < MX8MM_IOMUXC_ECSPI1_SCLK_UART3_DCE_RX 0x140 MX8MM_IOMUXC_ECSPI1_MOSI_UART3_DCE_TX 0x140 MX8MM_IOMUXC_ECSPI1_SS0_UART3_DCE_RTS_B 0x140 MX8MM_IOMUXC_ECSPI1_MISO_UART3_DCE_CTS_B 0x140 >; }; + pinctrl_uart4: uart4grp { + fsl,pins = < + MX8MM_IOMUXC_UART4_RXD_UART4_DCE_RX 0x140 + MX8MM_IOMUXC_UART4_TXD_UART4_DCE_TX 0x140 + >; + };   iMX8MP-EVK   https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-atf/blob/lf_v2.6/plat/imx/imx8m/imx8mp/imx8mp_bl31_setup.c   imx8mp_bl31_setup.c   RDC_MDAn(RDC_MDA_M7, DID1), RDC_MDAn(RDC_MDA_LCDIF, DID2), RDC_MDAn(RDC_MDA_LCDIF2, DID2), RDC_MDAn(RDC_MDA_HDMI_TX, DID2), /* peripherals domain permission */ + RDC_PDAPn(RDC_PDAP_UART4, D0R | D0W), RDC_PDAPn(RDC_PDAP_UART2, D0R | D0W), RDC_PDAPn(RDC_PDAP_WDOG1, D0R | D0W), RDC_PDAPn(RDC_PDAP_RDC, D0R | D0W | D1R),   Device tree configurations for iMX8MP-EVK   iMX8MP-EVK.dts   https://github.com/nxp-imx/linux-imx/blob/lf-6.1.y/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mp-evk.dts   &uart3 { pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_uart3>; assigned-clocks = <&clk IMX8MP_CLK_UART3>; assigned-clock-parents = <&clk IMX8MP_SYS_PLL1_80M>; fsl,uart-has-rtscts; status = "okay"; }; + &uart4 { + pinctrl-names = "default"; + pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_uart4>; + assigned-clocks = <&clk IMX8MP_CLK_UART4>; + assigned-clock-parents = <&clk IMX8MP_SYS_PLL1_80M>; + status = "okay"; + }; ************************************ pinctrl_uart3: uart3grp { fsl,pins = < MX8MP_IOMUXC_ECSPI1_SCLK__UART3_DCE_RX 0x140 MX8MP_IOMUXC_ECSPI1_MOSI__UART3_DCE_TX 0x140 MX8MP_IOMUXC_ECSPI1_SS0__UART3_DCE_RTS 0x140 MX8MP_IOMUXC_ECSPI1_MISO__UART3_DCE_CTS 0x140 >; }; + pinctrl_uart4: uart4grp { + fsl,pins = < + MX8MP_IOMUXC_UART4_RXD__UART4_DCE_RX 0x140 + MX8MP_IOMUXC_UART4_TXD__UART4_DCE_TX 0x140 + >; + };     After compiling the image with the changes previously shown, we obtained this result:

Traditional non-matter devices cannot directly join the matter network. But Matter Bridge solves the problem. Matter bridge can join a Matter network as a Matter device and nonmatter devices need to be mapped to Matter network as a dynamic endpoint. In this way, other Matter devices can communicate with non-matter devices through dynamic endpoints. The Guide is a Matter Zigbee Bridge implement based on i.MX93 + K32W0.     Feature List • Matter over Ethernet • Matter over Wi-Fi • Register and Remove Zigbee Deivces • Connect Zigbee devices into Matter ecosystem seamlessly • Zigbee Devices o OnOff cluster o Temperature Sensor Cluster • Matter Actions o Start Zigbee Network o Zigbee Network Permit Join o Factory Reset • No limitation if migrating to other i.MX MPU like i.MX6ULL, i.MX8MP • OTBR and Zigbee bridge can be integrated into one single device

Usually, device tree source files are not a signal pure dts file. It could include dtsi, dts or C code heads .h files. Need C compiler finish the pre-compile to a pure dts file first. It is integrated inside the like Linux build system(Makefile, etc.). This document shows the original way to compile device tree. This document will show compile device tree under windows.
