      The i.MX6UL/LL/LZ processor supports 2 USB OTG interfaces, USB OTG1 and USB OTG2, and each USB interface can be configured as a device, host or dual role mode. On the EVK board of i.MX6UL/LL, USB OTG1 is designed as dual role mode, and USB OTG2 is designed as HOST mode. This is sufficient for most customers.       However, in actual applications, we may need 2 USB HOSTs, and at the same time, we don’t want to use MicroUSB to USB TYPE-AF cable for Host-Device mode conversion. Therefore, the design of the USB circuit needs to meet such requirements: 1. USB device mode We need a USB device to download the linux image to the flash or SD card on the board. 2. 2 USB HOSTs When the system is working normally, we need the board to support 2 USB HOST. i.MX6UL/LL/LZ has only 2 USB ports. How to design to meet this requirement without increasing the USB HUB? The following scheme is used as a reference, and I hope it will be helpful to customers with similar requirement:        The logic and application description of this Diagram:: Default—device mode In the process of debugging the software, we need to use the USB OTG interface to download the linux image, so it must work in device mode. What we need to do is: (1). Pull USB OTG ID up to 3.3V (2). The USB OTG D+/D- signal is switched to the MicroUSB connector. (3). The USB OTG VBUS is provided with 5V power from the external PC USB HOST. Usage:        -Use a jumper for Pin 1 and Pin2, USB OTG ID pin will be pulled up to High.        With the operation, SEL pin of USB Muxer is High, and USB signals are switched to port B, and USB differential signals are connected to MicroUSB connector. At the same time, MIC2026-1YM output is disabled. The USB OTG1 VBUS pin of CPU is supplied by VBUS of MicroUSB connector, that is to say, supplied by PC USB HOST.        In this mode, software engineer can use it to download images to flash on board. Normal Work—Host mode After the software debugging is completed, two HOSTs are needed on the board. At this time, we need to switch the USB OTG1 from device to HOST mode. What we need to do is: (1). Pull USB OTG1 ID down to LOW (2). The USB OTG D+/D- signal is switched to the USB Type-AF connector. (3). Board should supply 5V power for USB device connected USB Type-AF connector. Usage:        -Use a jumper for Pin 2 and Pin3, USB OTG ID pin will be pulled down to Low.        With the operation, USB OTG1 ID pin is pulled down to Low, SEL pin of USB Muxer is also LOW, USB signals are switched to Port A, and connected to USB type-AF connector. At the same time, MIC2026-1YM is enabled , OUTA will output 5V , which will supply USB device connected on USB type-AF connector.   [Note] Users need to pay attention to. When using the jumper with PIN1/2/3, the board needs to be powered off. In other words, when switching between device and host, you need to switch off the power, then power on, and restart the board. The solution can also be used for i.MX processors with USB 2.0 interface.   NXP CAS team Wedong Sun 01/15/2021

Recently, some customers are using i.MX processor, they want to add raid & LVM function support to the kernel, but they have encountered the problem that the compilation cannot pass. Tested it in L4.14.98, L4.19.35 & L5.4.x, Only L4.14.98 bsp exists the problem. Here are the experimental steps I have done, including the same problems I encountered with the customer, and how to modify the kernel to ensure that the compilation passes. 1. Exporting cross compilation tool chain from yocto BSP (1) Downloading Yocto BSP and compiling it. Following steps in i.MX_Yocto_Project_User's_Guide.pdf, download Yocto BSP and compile it successfully. (2) Exporting cross compilation tool chain Following methods described in i.MX_Linux_User's_Guide.pdf, export cross compilation tool chain from yocto BSP. See Chapter 4.5.12 of the document, please! Then cross compilation tool chain will be like below: (3) Copying linux BSP source code to a new directory # cd ~ # mkdir L4.14.98-2.0.0 # cd L4.14.98-2.0.0 # cp -r ~/imx-yocto-bsp/build-fb/tmp/work/imx6qsabresd-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-imx/4.14.98- r0/git ./ Then all linux source code has been copied to L4.14.98-2.0.0, which is the top directory of linux kernel source code, I will compile kernel image here. 2. Compiling linux kernel # cd ~/L4.14.98-2.0.0 # source /opt/fsl-imx-fb/4.14-sumo/environment-setup-cortexa9hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi # export ARCH=arm # make imx_v7_defconfig # make menuconfig Then we will add RAID and LVM modules to linux kernel. In order to reproduce errors, I added all related modules to kernel. See below, please! Device drivers---->Multiple devices driver support (RAID and LVM) After save and exit, began to compile kernel. # make (make –j4) The following errors will occur: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- drivers/md/dm-rq.c: In function ‘dm_old_init_request_queue’: drivers/md/dm-rq.c:716:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘elv_register_queue’; did you mean ‘blk_register_queue’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] elv_register_queue(md->queue); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ blk_register_queue cc1: some warnings being treated as errors scripts/Makefile.build:326: recipe for target 'drivers/md/dm-rq.o' failed make[2]: *** [drivers/md/dm-rq.o] Error 1 scripts/Makefile.build:585: recipe for target 'drivers/md' failed make[1]: *** [drivers/md] Error 2 Makefile:1039: recipe for target 'drivers' failed make: *** [drivers] Error 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Finding out root cause and solving it (1) elv_register_queue( ) function The function is loaded in dm-rq.c : int dm_old_init_request_queue(struct mapped_device *md, struct dm_table *t) { … … elv_register_queue(md->queue); … … } BUT compiler didn’t find it’s declaration and entity. Searching source code, and found it declared in linux_top/block/blk.h: … … int elv_register_queue(struct request_queue *q); … … It’s entity is in linux_top/block/elevator.c: int elv_register_queue(struct request_queue *q) { … … } (2) Adding declaration and exporting the function --- Declaration Add the line below to dm-rq.c: … … extern int elv_register_queue(struct request_queue *q); … … --- Exporting the function(elevator.c) Add EXPORT_SYMBOL(elv_register_queue); to the end of function, see below. int elv_register_queue(struct request_queue *q) { … … } EXPORT_SYMBOL(elv_register_queue); 4. Re-compiling Linux Kernel The above error will not occur and the compilation will complete successfully.   NXP CAS team Weidong Sun

Hello everyone, In this document I'll explain on how to build the UUU (Universal Update Utility) using windows 10 PC. This may be useful in case of adding custom commands to run during the flash using built-in scripts, be it for debugging, fuse blowing, etc. First we need to download and install Visual Studio community, for this guide I'll use community 2019, version it is available here: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=Community&rel=16 For workloads select Universal Windows Platform development.   When installing, make sure to select and install the Git for windows complement, at the top select Individual components, this will display a new list, scroll down to code tools and you will find Git for windows, check this box In case Visual Studio is already installed, you may open the installer again and chose modify, this will let you install the complement as well. After the installation is complete we may run the git commands on the power shell. Now open the windows power shell and type the following commands: git clone https://github.com/NXPmicro/mfgtools.git // clones the MFGTool (UUU) source code from the github cd mfgtools // enters the mfgtools folder we just cloned git submodule init // creates the local configuration file for the submodules git submodule update // set the submodules to the commit specified by the main repository. At this point we can edit the built in scripts to add our custom commands, for this guide I'll add the printenv uboot command at the end of the flashing process. For this I'll enter the folder mfgtools/uuu, and edit emmc_burn_all.lst with any text editor, i.e. Notepad ++, add the command FB: ucmd printenv.   Save and close the editor, it is possible to add most uboot commands like for example the fuse commands to burn eFuses. Then we can now build the tool, opening msvc/uuu-static-link.sln with Visual studio, select solution uuu-static-link.sln   And finally build the solution: The executable (uuu.exe) would be at the following path: mfgtools\msvc\x64\Debug   Finally we run the built in script we modified and check the results. Find attached both the powershell and uboot logs, I tested this using an i.MX8MN with L5.4.47_2.2.0, running the following command: ./uuu.exe -v -b emmc_all imx-boot-imx8mnevk-sd.bin-flash_evk imx-image-full-imx8mnevk.wic Hope this may found useful for anyone trying to achieve something similar.

BSP: L5.4.47-2.2.0-rc2 Board: imx8QM B0 HW:  LVDS2HDMI , MIPIDSI2HDMI. It is the porting of i.MX8QM dpu loopback to isi. to the 5.4.y, with the addition of the MIPI-DSI loopback and the HDMI loopback.  Overview of the DC capture configuration: For enabling the capture: only DC 0 Stream 0  and DC 1 Stream 1 can be captured The pixel link Master address should be set to 3 because the Receiver Address at ISI is 3 and can't be changed. To continue displaying the stream, the Receiver Address at LVDS and DSI or HDMI should be changed to 3. It is possible to change the RA by using GPIO of the modules.   Patches: Create V4L2 device enabling the capture of by the ISI of DC loop-backs. Enable ISI capture from DSI 0 / LVDS 1 in 1920x1080 (at the same time.) Enable ISI capture from HDMI in 2840x2160 (half with even pixel) in 1920x2160. While capturing with the ISI, the captured screen continue to be displayed. Remark: Ov5640 cameras are also enabled in the same dtb. So 4 stream in 1920x1080 can be captured at the same time. Installation and gstreamer command: See readme

Important: If you have any questions or would like to report any issues with the DDR tools or supporting documents please create a support ticket in the i.MX community. Please note that any private messages or direct emails are not monitored and will not receive a response.   This is a detailed programming aid for the registers associated with i.MX 8/8X DDR initialization.  For more details, refer to the i.MX 8/8X main DDR tools page: https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors-Knowledge-Base/i-MX-8-8X-Family-DDR-Tools-Release/ta-p/1121519 Note: Devices with 17-row addresses (R0-R16) are not supported by this SoC.  To reduce the number of attachments, older RPAs may be found in the attached zip file.   ***IMPORTANT: For SCFWv1.7.0, you must use the following RPA versions or later: MX8QM_B0_LPDDR4_RPA_1.6GHz_v23 Older versions of the RPA are not aligned to SCFWv1.7.0.  If trying to use an older version of an RPA with SCFWv1.7.0, it will cause the SCFW not to boot.  The offending lines in the DCD output are as follows: For MX8QM: DATA 4 0xff148000 0x00000885 /* DRC0 bringup */ DATA 4 0xff1a0000 0x00000885 /* DRC1 bringup */ If the user wishes to use an older RPA with SCFW 1.7.0 (not recommended), then the above lines must be removed from older RPA DCD file outputs.  In addition, wrapping these lines are "#ifndef SCFW_DCD", "#else", and "#endif" preprocessor commands.  These should be removed as well.  For example of MX8QM: [remove] #ifndef SCFW_DCD [remove] /* For 1600MHz DDR, DRC 800MHz operation */ [remove] DATA 4 0xff148000 0x00000885 /* DRC0 bringup */ [remove] DATA 4 0xff1a0000 0x00000885 /* DRC1 bringup */ [remove] #else <keep code as is> [remove] #endif

-BACKGROUND       Since the release of i.MX8MQ and i.MX8M Mini, some customers have submitted questions about the design of USB2.0 for these two processors: due to the needs of the project, there is no need to use USB3.0 and USB TYPE-C. Therefore, these applications need to use a conventional USB2.0 interface design similar to i.MX6Q.       In order for customers with similar needs to complete the design smoothly, this document summarizes the answers to previous customer responses and draws two USB2.0 design schematics. At the same time, the i.MX expert hardware team member helped review these two drawings, and the i.MX Expert software team gave suggestions on software adjustments. -BEGIN       i.MX8MQ supports USB3.0 and is compatible with USB2.0, i.MX8M Mini only supports USB2.0, not USB3.0. In both development boards, the USB TYPE-C design scheme is used. We must remove the USB TYPE-C, PD chip and logic chip. At the same time, change the connector to MicroUSB and USB TYPE-A-F. No.1 Hardware Design 1. IOMUX list 2 、USB circuit design (1) USB Power & OC control I.MX8MM i.MX8MQ                                                 i.MX8MQ                                              i.MX8MQ [Comment] For i.MX8MQ -USB1 is configured as Dual Role Mode, USB1 OTG ID is used for detection -USB2 is configured as fixed Host mode, USB2 OTG ID is used for detection -i.MX8M Mini USB2.0                                        i.MX8M Mini                                     i.MX8M Mini [Comment] For i.MX8M Mini -USB1 is configured as Dual Role Mode, USB1 OTG ID is used for detection -USB2 is configured as fixed Host mode, USB2 OTG ID is used for detection (3) Additional description --About USB1_VBUS & USB2_VBUS of i.MX8M Mini          According to i.MX8M Mini datasheet, USB1_VBUS & USB2_VBUS allows 0~3.9V input. See below, please! Therefore, some customers have questioned the USB1_VBUS on the I.MX8M Mini-EVK. From the drawings, the external input voltage exceeds this range.          In fact, customers do not need to worry about this problem. There are internal voltage-dividing resistors on the USB1_VBUS and USB2_VBUS pins. As long as the customer refers to the design method on the I.MX8M Mini-EVK, the input voltage of these 2 pins can be guaranteed Inside. --About USBx OTG ID & USBx_ID (1) USBx_OTG_ID          USBx OTG ID is also called GPIO ID, which is the same as that of i.MX6Q. During the work process, the software changes the role between device and host according to the level of the ID pin from high to low or from low to high. (2)USBx_ID          USBx_ID is called USB PHY ID, which can also perform the same function as USBx OTG ID. (3)Using USBx_OTG_ID or USBx_ID          USBx_OTG_ID is recommended. But if customer wants to use USBx_ID, for i.MX8MQ, she can configure USB_CTL0_ADDR[utmiotg_iddig_sel] register. And for I.MX8M Mini, USBNC_n_CTRL2[DIG_ID_SEL] register. [Comment]          The configuration is got from reference manual of these 2 processors, due to no suitable board, this configuration is not validated on board. Customers can try it. (4) About Flashing Images to the Storage of Board          For an empty board or a board that requires an update image, we need to use the USB interface to program the image. At this time, we need the USB interface to work in device mode. For this, the ROM CODE inside the CPU will ensure that the USB works in device mode. No.2 Tuning Software 1.IOMUX According to the actual application, the signals to be used are multiplexed in the dts file. This step is relatively simple and will not be described here 2. Tuning USB configuration in u-boot / device tree For i.MX8M Mini & i.MX8MQ, i.MX Expert softer team gives the following suggestions, I quote their suggestions here:       Customer can try it by removing CONFIG_USB_TCPC in imx8mm_evk_defconfi and well as removing the typec_ptn5110_1/2 dependencies in the fsl-imx8mm-evk.dts.
