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.

    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. (which inlcudes all patches and bb file) and add the following variable in conf/local.conf before build xenomai by command bitake xenomai.  XENOMAI_KERNEL_MODE = "cobalt"  PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-imx = "4.19-${XENOMAI_KERNEL_MODE}" IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " xenomai" DISTRO_FEATURES_remove = "optee" or XENOMAI_KERNEL_MODE = "mercury" PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-imx = "4.19-${XENOMAI_KERNEL_MODE}" IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " xenomai" DISTRO_FEATURES_remove = "optee" 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.

Background   Wake-on-LAN ( WoL) is an Ethernet computer networking standard that allows a computer to be turned on or awakened from sleep mode by a network message. The message is usually sent to the target computer by a program executed on a device connected to the same local area network. Ethernet connections, including home and work networks, wireless data networks, and the Internet itself, are based on frames sent between computers. WoL is implemented using a specially designed frame called a magic packet, which is sent to all computers in a network, among them the computer to be awakened. The magic packet contains the MAC address of the destination computer. This is an identifying number, built into each network interface controller (NIC)/Ethernet Controller, that enables the NIC/EnetController to be uniquely recognized and addressed on a network What is a WOL Magic packet? The magic packet is a frame that is most often sent as a broadcast and that contains anywhere within its payload 6 bytes of all 255 (FF FF FF FF FF FF in hexadecimal), followed by sixteen repetitions of the target computer's 48-bit MAC address, for a total of 102 bytes. it is typically sent as a UDP datagram to port 0 (reserved port number), 7 (Echo Protocol) or 9 (Discard Protocol) or directly over Ethernet using EtherType 0x0842   Configure iMX93EVK to wake up on an Ethernet Wake On LAN Magic Packet   Pre-requisite:- Install 'Wake on  LAN' utility on windows from the Microsoft Store. This utility uses Port 7 to send magic packet as a broadcast to the devices on the network.   Step-1 Make the dts change to enable wake-up functionality on eth1   In the following dts:- arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx93-11x11-evk.dts   You would see the node entry for the corresponding ethernet, eth1 as eqos. Add fsl,magic-packet; to the node     After building the changes, boot with the imx93evk image.   Step-2 Enable wake on LAN By default in linux user-space the wake-on-lan is disabled, to enable the wake-on-lan run:  ethtool -s eth1 wol g     Now you are all set to wake up imx93evk via Ethernet WOL packet. Put the iMX93 to deep sleep via 'echo mem > /sys/power/state'   Step-3 Send WOL magic packet via Wake On LAN windows utility to wake up iMX93EVK   Make sure the devices are connected to the same local network like imx93evk and laptop connected to the same L2 switch. Add your imx93evk device to Wake on LAN software, you have to give iMX93EVK's MAC address of the ethernet that the RJ45 cable is connected to[you can get this from 'ifconfig -a' output].     After adding the device, it will look something like below:-     Right-click on the 'imx' device which is registered on Wake on LAN UI and click on 'Send WOL(magic packet)'. The moment you do that the WOL packet is sent to your iMX from your Laptop/PC on the same network and the iMX is woken up from deep sleep.     Hope you found it helpful. Please drop in any questions/comments just in case. 

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.

Hey everyone !! This piece covers how to configure the iMX93EVK board to wake up Cortex A55[ running Linux] from Cortex M33 core[running a bare metal application].    We will be using UART console on Cortex M33 to signal Cortex A55 via RPMSG to wake-up from deep sleep.   This can be done as follows:-   1. Boot iMX93EVK with RPMSG enabled DTB and load M33 binary via UBOOT   After booting to Uboot terminal, set the fdtfile variable to <rpmsg dtb> that will help us enable rpmsg in the kernel.   u-boot=> setenv fdtfile imx93-11x11-evk-rpmsg.dtb u-boot=> setenv bootargs ${jh_clk} ${mcore_clk} console=${console} root=${mmcroot}   then, load the M33 binary from the eMMC partition    u-boot=> fatload mmc 0:1 0x80000000 imx93-11x11-evk_m33_TCM_power_mode_switch.bin 18996 bytes read in 14 ms (1.3 MiB/s)   u-boot=> cp.b 0x80000000 0x201e0000 0x4a34 u-boot=> saveenv Note:-  Do not run the M33 core via bootaux at this point, instead just boot to Linux   u-boot=> boot         2. Starting the Cortex M33 core from Cortex A55[running Linux]   Once linux is up, load the elf of Cortex M33 power mode switch application.   echo ~/power_mode_switch.elf > /sys/devices/platform/imx93-cm33/remoteproc/remoteproc0/firmware   start the M33 core   echo start > /sys/devices/platform/imx93-cm33/remoteproc/remoteproc0/state   On console of Cortex M33 you will see the output as below:-   The log below shows the output of the power mode switch demo in the terminal window: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Start SRTM communication Task 1 is working now #################### Power Mode Switch Task #################### Build Time: Nov 10 2023--15:15:16 Core Clock: 200000000Hz Select the desired operation Press A to enter: Normal RUN mode Press B to enter: WAIT mode Press C to enter: STOP mode Press D to enter: SUSPEND mode Press W to wakeup A55 core Press M for switch M33 Root Clock frequency between OD/ND. Waiting for power mode select.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   M33 at this point is ready to wake up the A55 core.     3. Put A55 core to deep sleep and trigger a wakeup from M33 console   To put A55 to deep sleep   echo mem > /sys/power/state you will see something like below on linux console:-     At this point, A55 core is in deep sleep power saving mode. So the A55 console will not respond to any of the key presses. Go on, give it a try 🙂   Now to wake up this core, go to M33 serial console and type 'W'  This will wake up A55 core and you will see the logs denoting that the core has woken up:-   That's it! that's how you exercise UART wake-up functionality on imx93evk. Please feel free to drop any follow-up questions or additional thoughts on this.

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.
