Symptoms   When configure a gpio pin for a driver in the dts/dtsi file like below example,   e.g.   a-switch {            compatible = "a-switch-driver";            pinctrl-names = "default";            pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_switch>;            gpios = <&lsio_gpio1 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;            status = "okay"; };   pinctrl_switch: switch_gpio {     fsl,pins = < IMX8QXP_SPI2_SDO_LSIO_GPIO1_IO01    0x21 >; };   then you may get the error when request the gpio in the driver during the kernel boot up.   Error message like this: a-switch: failed to request gpio a-switch: probe of a-switch failed with error -22   Linux version: L5.4.x   Diagnosis   Because the gpio_mxc_init function run before the function imx_scu_driver_init. The pm_domains for gpio is not ready before running mxc_gpio_probe, so gpio request will be failed.     Solution   There are two ways to resolve this issue 1. Build the driver as a module. i.e. select the driver in kernel’s menuconfig as “M”. Then , run “insmod” to load the driver after the kernel boot up.   OR   2. Apply below patch, let gpio driver init after scu driver. diff --git a/drivers/gpio/gpio-mxc.c b/drivers/gpio/gpio-mxc.c index 1dfe513f8fcf..52b5799040b3 100644 --- a/drivers/gpio/gpio-mxc.c +++ b/drivers/gpio/gpio-mxc.c @@ -892,7 +892,7 @@ static int __init gpio_mxc_init(void) return platform_driver_register(&mxc_gpio_driver); } -subsys_initcall(gpio_mxc_init); +device_initcall(gpio_mxc_init);

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.

This article is to show how to use CLK2 for PCIe ref clock for i.MX8MQ. Test Environment  i.MX8MQ + BSP L5.10.52 Background In order to cost down, some customers used CLK2 as PCIe reference clock as below while no external OSC installed, which is different with i.MX8MQ EVK design, so no clock output for PCIe.  Checked L4.14.98_2.3.0 and found it added internal PLL for PCIe clock support. Solution The attached patch based on 4.14.98 can’t be used directly on 5.10.52, the following is the main modification for PLLOUT of PCIe clock. PLLOUT Monitor Configuration Register contains bits to control the clock that will be generated on the CCM clock mapped to CLK2_P/N.        

On behalf of Gopise Yuan. This is a debugging patch for adding support for showing interrupt status (same as ‘cat /proc/interrupts’) in Sysrq. Can be triggered by “y”. Might be useful for debugging some hang/stuck issue. Note: Only for debugging purpose. Triggering it in normal case may throttle current cpu and cause IPC/RCU abnormal due to long printing to console.

The purpose of this document is to provide a guide on how to export new symbols using the Bazel Android server instead of the build_abi.sh script. For a better reference how to build Android i.MX image please look at the next chapter 3 Building the Android Platform for i.MX in the Android User's Guide 1. Compile full AOSP or only kernel Build full AOSP: $ source build/envsetup.sh $ lunch evk_8mp-eng $ ./imx-make.sh -j8  Only build the kernel: $ ./imx-make.sh kernel -j8 2. Generic Kernel Image GKI Development Download GKI outside of android_build (MY_ANDROID). # Make sure MY_ANDROID is set to the android_build folder. $ export MY_ANDROID=`pwd` # mkdir gki && cd gki (Make sure folder gki is not inside of ${MY_ANDROID}) $ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/manifest -b common-android14-6.1 $ repo sync $ cd common 3. Export New Symbols Switch the kernel in this common folder from AOSP to its device, and apply the patches required for your project. In this case Android $ cd common $ git remote add device https://github.com/nxp-imx/linux-imx.git $ git remote update $ git fetch device --tags $ git checkout android-14.0.0_1.2.0 $ cd .. $ ln -s ${MY_ANDROID}/vendor/nxp-opensource/verisilicon_sw_isp_vvcam verisilicon_sw_isp_vvcam $ ln -s ${MY_ANDROID}/vendor/nxp-opensource/nxp-mwifiex nxp-mwifiex $ BUILD_FOR_GKI=yes BUILD_CONFIG=common/build.config.imx $ EXT_MODULES_MAKEFILE="verisilicon_sw_isp_vvcam/vvcam/v4l2/Kbuild" $ EXT_MODULES="nxp-mwifiex/mxm_wifiex/wlan_src" Note: Be sure that your Symbolic Link is pointing to the correct folder Open the Makefile in the following path ../gki/nxp-mwifiex/mxm_wifiex/wlan_src/ and erase some ifreq lines that will generate a No such file or directory error. #Automatically determine Android version from build information to streamline diff --git a/mxm_wifiex/wlan_src/Makefile b/mxm_wifiex/wlan_src/Makefile index 3ec5308..7b6ca47 100644 --- a/mxm_wifiex/wlan_src/Makefile +++ b/mxm_wifiex/wlan_src/Makefile @@ -139,20 +139,7 @@ CONFIG_ANDROID_KERNEL=y ifeq ($(ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT),1) ccflags-y += -DANDROID_SDK_VERSION=$(ANDROID_SDK_VERSION) else -include $(ANDROID_BUILD_TOP)/build/make/core/build_id.mk -ifeq ($(shell echo "$(BUILD_ID)" | cut -c1),R) - ccflags-y += -DANDROID_SDK_VERSION=30 -else ifeq ($(shell echo "$(BUILD_ID)" | cut -c1),S) - ccflags-y += -DANDROID_SDK_VERSION=31 -else ifeq ($(shell echo "$(BUILD_ID)" | cut -c1),T) - ccflags-y += -DANDROID_SDK_VERSION=33 -else ifeq ($(shell echo "$(BUILD_ID)" | cut -c1),U) - ccflags-y += -DANDROID_SDK_VERSION=34 -else - # Default optimization or actions - ANDROID_SDK_VERSION := 0 - ccflags-y += -DANDROID_SDK_VERSION -endif +ccflags-y += -DANDROID_SDK_VERSION=34 endif endif endif -- Then you could update the symbol list by typing the following command. $ tools/bazel run //common:imx_abi_update_symbol_list After the build process is successful, you should get an output like the image below.

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.
