Introduction   MATTER chip-tool android APK is a very useful tool for commission, control the MATTER network by smart phone. Vendor can add various features into the APK. It supports build by Android Studio and command line. The official build steps can be found here: https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip/blob/master/docs/guides/android_building.md But the official guide does not cover how to build in a non-GUI linux distribution (without Android Studio installed). This article describes how to build under Ubuntu server.

The user interface has limited the use of the tool GUI Guider. Getting an interaction only through a mouse or touchscreen can be enough for some use cases. However, sometimes the use case requires to go beyond its limitations. This video/appnote explores the possibility of integrating voice by creating a bridge between a speech recognition technology, such as VIT, and the interface creator GUI Guider. It uses a universal way to link all the voice recognition commands and a wakeword to any interaction created by GUI Guider. The following video shows the steps necessary to create that connection by creating the voice recognition using VIT voice commands and wakewords, create an interface of GUI Guider using a template, how to connect between them using the board i.MX 93 evk and testing it.

P3T1755DP is a ±0.5°C accurate temperature-to-digital converter with a -40 °C to +125 °C range. It uses an on-chip band gap temperature sensor and an A-to-D conversion technique with overtemperature detection. The temperature register always stores a 12-bit two's complement data, giving a temperature resolution of 0.0625 °C P3T1755DP which can be configured for different operation conditions: continuous conversion, one-shot mode, or shutdown mode.   The device has very good features but, unfortunately, is not supported by Linux yet!   The P31755 works very similarly to LM75, pct2075, and other compatibles.   We can add support to P3T1755 in the LM75.c program due to the process to communicate with the device is the same as LM75 and equivalents.   https://github.com/nxp-imx/linux-imx/blob/lf-6.1.55-2.2.0/drivers/hwmon/lm75.c route: drivers/hwmon/lm75.c   The modifications that we have to do are the next:    1. We have to add the configurations to the kernel on the imx_v8_defconfig file CONFIG_SENSORS_ARM_SCMI=y CONFIG_SENSORS_ARM_SCPI=y CONFIG_SENSORS_FP9931=y +CONFIG_SENSORS_LM75=m +CONFIG_HWMON=y +CONFIG_I2C=y +CONFIG_REGMAP_I2C=y CONFIG_SENSORS_LM90=m CONFIG_SENSORS_PWM_FAN=m CONFIG_SENSORS_SL28CPLD=m    2. Add the part on the list of parts compatible with the driver LM75.c enum lm75_type { /* keep sorted in alphabetical order */ max6626, max31725, mcp980x, + p3t1755, pct2075, stds75, stlm75,   3.

Add the ID to the list in the structure i2c_device_id lm75_ids and of_device_id __maybe_unused lm75_of_match    { "max31725", max31725, }, { "max31726", max31725, }, { "mcp980x", mcp980x, }, + { "p3t1755", p3t1755, }, { "pct2075", pct2075, }, { "stds75", stds75, }, { "stlm75", stlm75, },   + { + .compatible = "nxp,p3t1755", + .data = (void *)p3t1755 + },   5. In addition to all modifications, I modify the device tree of my iMX8MP-EVK to connect the Sensor in I2C3 of the board.  https://github.com/nxp-imx/linux-imx/blob/lf-6.1.55-2.2.0/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mp-evk.dts   }; }; + + p3t1755: p3t1755@48 { + compatible = "nxp,p3t1755"; + reg = <0x48>; + }; + };   Connections: We will use the expansion connector of the iMX8MP-EVK and J9 of the P3T1755DP-ARD board.   P3T1755DP-ARD board   iMX8MP-EVK   P3T1755DP-ARD ----> iMX8MP-EVK J9              ---------->            J21 +3v3 (Pin 9) ---> +3v3 (Pin 1) GND(Pin 7) ---> GND (PIN 9) SCL (Pin 4) ---> SCL (Pin 5) SDA (Pin 3) ---> SDA (Pin 3)     Reading the Sensor We can read the sensor using the next commands:   Read Temperature: $ cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/temp1_input Reading maximum temperature: $ cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/temp1_max Reading hysteresis: $ cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/temp1_max_hyst   https://www.nxp.com/design/design-center/development-boards-and-designs/analog-toolbox/arduino-shields-solutions/p3t1755dp-arduino-shield-evaluation-board:P3T1755DP-ARD    

What is LGVL? LVGL is a graphics library to run on devices with limited resources. LVGL is fully open-source and has no external dependencies, works with any modern MCU or MPU, and can be used with any (RT)OS or bare metal setup. https://lvgl.io/   What is Framebuffer? The Linux framebuffer (fbdev) is a Linux subsystem used to show graphics on a display, typically manipulated on the system console   How to write on the frame buffer? The device is listed on de device list typically "fb0" on iMX.   1. Stop the window manager (Weston in our BSP) $ systemctl stop weston   2. Write random data on the frame buffer with the next command: $ cat /dev/urandom > /dev/fb0   You should see colored pixels on the screen   3. Restart the window manager. $ systemctl start weston     Cross-compiling the application   1. On the host computer we will clone the LGVL repo: $ git clone https://github.com/lvgl/lv_port_linux_frame_buffer.git -b release/v8.2 $ cd lv_port_linux_frame_buffer $ git submodule update --init --recursive 2. Configure the screen resolution, rotation, and the touch input.       2.1 The resolution is configured in lines 33 and 34 of the main.c disp_drv.hor_res = 1080; disp_drv.ver_res = 1920;           2.2 Rotation configured is on lines 32 and 57 of main.c. disp_drv.sw_rotate = 3; lv_disp_set_rotation(NULL, LV_DISP_ROT_270);     2.3 The touch input is configured on line 450 of lv_drv_conf.h # define EVDEV_NAME "/dev/input/event2"   Note: In my case is on /dev/input/event2 to check the inputs use the command "evtest"   3. Compile the application using the command "make"   Note: To compile the application on your host computer you have to set the environment.   4. Share the file called "demo" with your board and execute it on the board with the command $ ./demo   Note: You have to stop the weston service to run the application.     Notes: Tested on iMX8MN EVK with BSP 6.1.36 Works on Multimedia and Full image.

Sometime need standalone compile device tree. Only Linux headers and device tree directory are needed.         

This article is rather short that only mentions the script that is needed to make an iMX93EVK act as a USB mass storage device so that whenever you connect your iMX device to a windows/linux system via USB, it should get enumerated something like a usb drive.  The storage that is used in this example is mmc so the expectation is that you have inserted a mmc card in the slot. Below is the script:- #!/bin/sh   # This composite gadget include function: # - MASS STORAGE     # # Exit status is 0 for PASS, nonzero for FAIL # STATUS=0   # Check if there is udc available, if not, return fail UDC_DIR=/sys/class/udc if test "$(ls -A "$UDC_DIR")"; then echo "The available udc:" for entry in "$UDC_DIR"/* do echo "$entry" done else STATUS=1 echo "No udc available!" exit $STATUS; fi   id=1; udc_name=ci_hdrc.0 #back_file=/dev/mmcblk1 back_file=/tmp/lun0.img   mkdir /sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget/g$id cd /sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget/g$id   # Use NXP VID, i.MX8QXP PID echo 0x1fc9 > idVendor echo 0x12cf > idProduct   mkdir strings/0x409 echo 123456ABCDEF > strings/0x409/serialnumber echo NXP > strings/0x409/manufacturer echo "NXP iMX USB Composite Gadget" > strings/0x409/product   mkdir configs/c.1 mkdir configs/c.1/strings/0x409   echo 5 > configs/c.1/MaxPower echo 0xc0 > configs/c.1/bmAttributes   mkdir functions/mass_storage.1 echo $back_file > functions/mass_storage.1/lun.0/file ln -s functions/mass_storage.1 configs/c.1/   echo $udc_name > UDC First execute the script. After that insert the g_mass_storage module in the kernel by executing :- modprobe g_mass_storage file=/dev/mmcblk1 removable=1 In the dmesg output, you will see something like below:-   After that you can connect a C type USB cable to the USB1 port of imx93evk and the other end to any USB ports of a laptop. The moment it is connected, you would be able to see a USB drive similar to what you get when we connect a pen-drive.

Application Note AN13872  Enabling SWUpdate on i.MX 6ULL, i.MX 8M Mini, and i.MX 93 is available on www.nxp.com    SWUpdate: Embedded Systems become more and more complex. Software for Embedded Systems have new features and fixes can be updated in a reliable way. Most of time, we need OTA(Over-The-Air) to upgrade the system. Like Android has its own update system. Linux also need an update system. SWUpdate project is thought to help to update an embedded system from a storage media or from network. However, it should be mainly considered as a framework, where further protocols or installers (in SWUpdate they are called handlers) can be easily added to the application. Mongoose daemon mode: Mongoose is a daemon mode of SWUpdate that provides a web server, web interface and web application. Mongoose is running on the target board(i.MX8MM EVK/i.MX8QXP MEK).Using Web browser to access it.   Suricatta daemon mode: Suricatta regularly polls a remote server for updates, downloads, and installs them. Thereafter, it reboots the system and reports the update status to the server. The screenshot is SWUpdate scuricatta working with hawkbit server.          

  Some customer need to config different I2C bus for their PMIC in DDR test period. There is a simple method can complete this, that is NXP DDR Config Tool. The tool download link is below: https://www.nxp.com/design/development-boards/i-mx-evaluation-and-development-boards/config-tools-for-i-mx-applications-processors:CONFIG-TOOLS-IMX I'm going to use the i.MX 93 EVK board here as a demonstration. On i.MX 93 EVK board, the default PMIC I2C Bus is I2C2, I will show you how to change I2C2 to I2C1, the other i2c bus is same.  Step 1 : Rework the board and make sure the PMIC is connected to I2C1. Remove R714 R715, connnect I2C1_SCL(C20) to U701 pin 41  and I2C1_SDA(C21) tp U701 pin 42.

    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 ARMv7 and tested on imx6ulevk/imx6ull14x14evk/imx6qpsabresd/imx6dlsabresd/imx6sxsabresdimx6slevk boards. I also did stress test by tool stress-ng on some boards.      You need to git clone https://gitee.com/zxd2021-imx/xenomai-arm.git, and git checkout Linux-4.19.35-1.1.0.
