This article explains how to get started with JTAG debugging of the Linux kernel running on the A55 of iMX93EVK. We will be using Lauterbach Trace32 to debug iMX93EVK. Here is a list of pre-requisites that is expected from the readers:- 1. Basic knowledge to get started on Trace32 - Please refer Learning and Training | Lauterbach TRACE32 2. You should have Linux source code and steps to build the kernel. 3. Trace32 Software with a license to debug A55 COMPONENTS   Hardware required: -   iMX93EVK running 6.6.52 BSP Lauterbach Power Debug E40 with a Debug cable Software required: - Trace32 Linux kernel source code   Linux Kernel Modifications Step 1:- In arch/arm64/configs/imx_v8_defconfig, please make sure that:- CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED=n CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO = y CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y   Step-2 :- Enabling JTAG debugging in Linux On iMX93EVK LPUART5 is MUX'd with the JTAG pins gaurav_sharma_0-1744718613352.png   so if we want to debug the linux kernel via JTAG, we will have to disable it. Go to the device tree source file - arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx93-11x11-evk.dts Change the status of the following node to 'disabled'   gaurav_sharma_1-1744718678374.png   Step 2:- Build the kernel. vmlinux will be created as part of this. This has the Linux kernel along with the debug symbols required for Trace32 debugging. Step-3 At this point either you can copy the linux-imx folder to your local windows machine where Trace32 is installed, or you can simply map the linux machine as a network drive so that the same folder '/opt/samba/nxg05261/linux-imx' is accessible on windows. The motive of this exercise is to use 'vmlinux' and the linux source files present in this folder from trace32 cmm scripts that we will be executing.   Step-4 Replace the newly built kernel 'Image' - arch/arm64/boot/Image with the one present in the boot partition of imx93evk. You can simply copy this Image to iMX93EVK via scp and copy it to the folder - /run/media/boot-mmcblk0p1 Note:- Please make sure that the kernel version that is running on the box and the one you have built should be the same otherwise there will be debug symbols mismatch After copying the Image, reboot iMX93EVK. Debugging with Trace32 Step-1 Configuring Uboot bootargs Cpu idle state interferes with the JTAG debugging by impacting the clocks so we need to disable the cpu idle power management. We do this by appending "cpuidle.off=1" to the bootargs:- a. Stop at Uboot prompt. b. Execute command - setenv mmcargs "setenv bootargs ${jh_clock} ${mcore_clk} console=${console} root=${mmcroot}  cpuidle.off=1" [do not omit the inverted commas in the command] Step-2 Boot to Linux prompt   Step-3 Connect the USB cable of Lauterbach Power Debug probe to your windows machine and Open t32 - C:\T32\bin\windows64\t32start.exe   gaurav_sharma_5-1744718944949.png Select 'PowerView Instance' and click on 'Start'. A window like below will appear: -   gaurav_sharma_6-1744719062494.png Step- 4 Extract MMU translation info for the debugger For this either you can execute the below commands on the T32 in sequence: -   RESet SYStem.RESet SYStem.CPU IMX93-CA55 SYStem.JtagClock 10MHz SYStem.CONFIG.DEBUGPORTTYPE JTAG SYStem.Option EnReset OFF CORE.ASSIGN 1. 2. SYStem.Option MMUSPACES ON SYStem.Option IMASKASM ON SYStem.Mode Attach Data.LOAD.Elf <path_of_vmlinux> /NoCODE DO ~~/demo/arm/kernel/linux/board/generic-template/detect_translation.cmm OR simply edit the attached cmm script - detect_address_translation.cmm and modify the <path_of_vmlinux> as per your file location. Then execute it like this:- Do <file_path>/detect_address_translation.cmm In my case, this command was: - Do C:\Users\nxg05261\Documents\cmm_scripts\detect_address_translation.cmm Note:- <path_of_vmlinux> in my case was  C:\T32\demo\arm\bootloader\uboot\vmlinux. You can modify it as per the location where you have copied 'vmlinux' -- After executing the above commands, debugger address translation will be displayed: -  gaurav_sharma_8-1744719186783.png   Now we will copy the above highlighted lines and paste it in the final cmm script that we will use for debugging. For readers' convenience this info has been collated into the final script - 'linux_attach_t32.cmm', attached with this blog.   Disclaimer:- The lines that are highlighted depends on the kernel version and customer design decisions, so it is strongly advised to take the output of detect_translation.cmm for your system and then paste it in the cmm script, instead of using the exact output that I have shown in the above picture. File -> Open File -> linux_attach_t32.cmm gaurav_sharma_9-1744719239784.png -- Click on 'Do' button to execute the script till the end. gaurav_sharma_0-1744719677000.png -- Set a breakpoint at start_kernel b.s start_kernel /Onchip   [Optional]Check the breakpoint via 'b.l'   gaurav_sharma_1-1744719798475.png -- Hit 'go' at t32 to let the cores execute the instructions, you will see 'running' state   gaurav_sharma_2-1744719826022.png -- Enter 'reboot' at Linux prompt and stop at Uboot command line prompt you will see trace32 at 'system down' state: - gaurav_sharma_3-1744719897706.png -- Execute 'system.mode.attach' at t32 to attach to the system, you will again see 'running' state -- Execute 'break' to stop the running state -- Check if the breakpoint 'start_kernel' still exist via command 'b.l' -- If you see the breakpoint is still set, Execute 'go' at t32 to take the cores to the running state. -- Then, at Uboot prompt, execute 'boot' so that it may load the linux kernel to the memory.   As soon as you do that you would see that Uboot will try to load kernel. The last print you will see on the serial console will be: - "Starting kernel …' the execution will stop and at t32 you will see that the breakpoint is hit, meaning the Program Counter is at the address of the function 'start_kernel' gaurav_sharma_4-1744720057810.png   Note- The Warning that you might observe[like in the above picture] means that trace32 is not able to find the source file 'main.c'. So you will not be able to see the 'C' source code at this point. To resolve this:- -- Right click on the 'List.auto' window where you see the assembly code. Click on 'Resolve Path' and navigate to the init/main.c in your kernel source code folder and click Open. You would see that the source path translation is now correct and you're able to view the disassembly as well as the source code: -   gaurav_sharma_5-1744720161325.png   Now we will load kernel symbols and apply 2 breakpoints in the linux kernel to demonstrate kernel debugging:-   -- Load the kernel symbols Data.LOAD "C:\T32\demo\arm\bootloader\uboot\vmlinux"  H:0x0::0x0 /NoCODE /SOURCEPATH Z:\linux-imx gaurav_sharma_6-1744720206901.png   -- Apply breakpoints at t32 window b imx_rpmsg_init b imx_drm_bind   [Optionally] you can verify the breakpoints via 'b.l' gaurav_sharma_0-1744781339510.png These breakpoints are temporary as you can see in the above snapshot. That means after they are hit, they will be removed, so to make them permanent:- Right click the breakpoint -> Change -> Uncheck Temporary -> Click Ok like depicted in the following snapshots: - gaurav_sharma_1-1744781477140.png   gaurav_sharma_2-1744781531859.png   gaurav_sharma_7-1744720262647.png   Now, to reach the next breakpoint, execute 'go' on the t32 gaurav_sharma_8-1744720292331.png At this point linux kernel execution has reached the function imx_rpmsg_init   Again, to reach the next breakpoint, execute 'go' gaurav_sharma_0-1744720569015.png   So this is how you start debugging the linux kernel. Apart from this, there is a nice t32 feature called 'linux awareness' which allows you to easily debug the kernel loadable modules, user space applications amongst other things. To explore 'linux awareness', you can go about checking the 'Linux' drop down menu present at the top. Plenty of support documents are available on the web.   gaurav_sharma_1-1744720601236.png   gaurav_sharma_2-1744720619336.png   Feel free to drop in the comments section or DM if you have any queries. Happy debugging!!🙂🙂🙂🙂

This guide provides a step-by-step approach for beginners looking to flash a custom Kernel Image or device tree on an NXP i.MX board. Sometimes, we need to customize the Kernel Image or modify the device tree for our board. Fortunately, NXP provides the UUU (Universal Update Utility) tool, which allows us to flash and use a custom Kernel Image or update the device tree on our board.   Requirements Before proceeding, ensure you have the following: - The latest version of the UUU Tool. - An i.MX EVK board (i.MX6, i.MX7, i.MX8, i.MX9). - The power supply for the board. - Two USB cables (USB-C or Micro USB, depending on your board).   Preliminary Steps To customize the Kernel Image or device tree, refer to the following community posts: - How to Fix FRDM-IMX93 Linux Kernel BSP - How to Compile Linux Kernel Image and Device Tree Using Yocto SDK   Once you have your customized Linux Kernel Image or device tree ready, follow the steps below to deploy it to your board.   Flashing the Kernel Image or Device Tree Connect and Prepare the Board 1. Connect the USB debug cable and the OTG cable from your board to your host computer. 2. Power on your board and stop the boot process at the U-Boot stage by pressing a key in the terminal. 3. Enter fastboot mode by running the following command in the U-Boot terminal: u-boot -> fastboot 0   Flash the Custom Kernel Image or Device Tree   4. Open a terminal on your host computer and navigate to the directory containing the new Kernel Image or device tree. 5. Flash the new files using the following command: $ uuu -b fat_write <file_name> mmc <device>:<partition> <file_name_in_board> Example: $ uuu -b fat_write imx93-11x11-evk.dtb mmc 0:1 imx93-11x11-evk-custom.dtb In this example, the file imx93-11x11-evk.dtb stored on the host machine is flashed to the board's eMMC device, saving it as imx93-11x11-evk-custom.dtb.   Note: If you are using Linux, run the command with sudo. - For eMMC and SD card, the command is the same; just ensure you use the correct device number. - On the i.MX93, device 0 corresponds to eMMC, and device 1 corresponds to the SD card.   Update U-Boot Environment Variables   6. Exit fastboot mode by pressing CTRL+C. This returns you to the U-Boot terminal. 7. Set up the environment variablesto use the new files: For the Kernel Image: u-boot -> setenv image <custom_image_name> u-boot -> saveenv u-boot -> reset For the Device Tree: u-boot -> setenv fdtfile <custom_device_tree_name> u-boot -> saveenv u-boot -> reset The board should now boot using your modified Kernel Image and device tree.

This document mainly introduces how to use gpio usb id. This can provide more options to avoid pin conflicts.   iMX93 11x11 evk uses a peripheral circuit built with a typeC chip to perform USB role switch. However, in many cases, the hardware design does not have the same typeC circuit as the evk, and the USB ID is needed to do switch. The two USB IDs of the current iMX93 are muxed with the eQOS pins. The probability of this conflict is very high. So we need to use an alternative solution “gpio usb id”  to avoid this pin allocation conflict.

    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.
