Although you can develop your own driver to control GPIOs inside kernel space, there is a much simpler way for accessing GPIOs from user space. When timing requirements are not an issue, you are able to use GPIO-SYSFS. SYSFS is a virtual file system that exports some kernel internal framework functionalities to user space and GPIO is one of the frameworks that can have functionalities exported through SYSFS. The GPIO-SYSFS feature is available in all mainline kernels from 2.6.27 onwards. Configuring Kernel to export GPIO through SYSFS To enable GPIO in SYSFS, select the following kernel option: Device Drivers --->       --- GPIO Support             [*] /sys/class/gpio/... (sysfs interface) If you are using i.MX233 or i.MX28, after recompiling the kernel, do not forget to generate boot streams again, because this is not automatic even in ltib. Be sure that the pins you will try to use are really accessible as GPIO pins and were not requested by the kernel (gpio_request). If pin was gpio_request'ed, you will need to gpio_export the same pin inside the kernel in order to have it accessible through SYSFS. If pin is not set as GPIO by default, you will need to set IO MUX in the proper file inside <kernel>/arch/arm/mach-XXX. Accessing GPIO in user space After enabling GPIO-SYSFS feature, you can boot your device with the new kernel to make some tests. First you need to export the GPIO you want to test to the user space: echo XX > /sys/class/gpio/export XX shall be determined by the following algorithm: GPIOA_[B] is the GPIO you want to export, where "A" is the GPIO bank and "B" is the offset of the pin in the bank. if the first available GPIO bank is 0 // (iMX.28, for example)     XX = A*32 + B; else // first GPIO bank is 1     XX = (A-1)*32 + B; After exporting a GPIO pin, you shall be able to see the GPIO interface exported to: /sys/class/gpio/gpioXX Through this interface, you are now able to do things like: # Reading the pin value cat /sys/class/gpio/gpioXX/value # Changing pin direction echo in > /sys/class/gpio/gpioXX/direction echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpioXX/direction # Toggling GPIO output level echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpioXX/value echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpioXX/value It is important to note that through the GPIO virtual filesystem it is only possible to deal with one GPIO pin at a time (per command).

When working with IPU applications, sometimes image format converter is needed to check images generated by IPU that are not readable by PC (e.g. RGB565, common i.MX framebuffer format -> png or jpg) or generate a RGB picture from an encoded file to be read by IPU (e.g. png -> RGB565 framebuffer). There are some useful tools on Linux and some also available on Windows that can perform these conversions. I listed 5 tools with some usage examples below. IMAGEMAGICK // Display a 800x600 rgb image display -size 800x600 -depth 8 rgb:output.rgb // Show information of output.rgb identify -size 1296x972 -depth 8 output.rgb // Convert a 640x480 grayscale raw rgb file to png convert -size 640x480 -depth 8 imagefile.rgb image.png // To list all available color formats identify -list format For more information about Imagemagick and its format support. access: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/formats.php FFMPEG // List available formats for ffmpeg ffmpeg -pix_fmts // Convert raw rgb565 image to png ffmpeg -vcodec rawvideo -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb565 -s 1024x768 -i freescale_1024x768.raw -f image2 -vcodec png screen.png // Convert png to raw rgb565 ffmpeg -vcodec png -i image.png -vcodec rawvideo -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb565 image.raw // Convert a 720x480 NV12 (YUV 420 semi-planar) image to png ffmpeg -s 720x480 -pix_fmt nv12 -i image-nv12.yuv -f image2 -pix_fmt rgb24 image-png.png // Convert a 640x480 uyvy422 image to png ffmpeg -s 640x480 -pix_fmt uyvy422 -i image-uyvy422.yuv -f image2 -pix_fmt rgb24 image-uyvy422.png MENCODER http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/encoding-guide.html TRANSCODING http://www.transcoding.org/cgi-bin/transcode?Examples GRAPHICSMAGICK http://www.graphicsmagick.org/

Introduction The NFC Reader Library is a feature complete software support library for NXP's NFC Frontend ICs. It is designed to give developers a faster and simpler way to deliver NFC-enabled products. This multi-layer library, written in C, makes it easy to create NFC based applications. The purpose of this document is to provide instructions on how to install the NFC Reader Library on imx7dsabresd and communicate with PN5180, a NFC frontend. It will describe all the steps required to connect the board to an OM25180TWR, the wire connections, the changes in the device tree, and the library configuration. Building the Linux image and the Bal kernel module This section describes how to build the Linux image using Yocto and how to compile the Bal kernel module. Informations specific for this library start from the next section. Requirements: a Linux host PC (ex. Ubuntu 14.04/16.04) and root permissions. To download the required host packages, use: $ sudo apt-get install gawk wget git-core diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib build-essential chrpath socat libsdl1.2-dev Specific for Ubuntu: $ sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev xterm sed cvs subversion coreutils texi2html docbook-utils python-pysqlite2 help2man make gcc g++ desktop-file-utils \ libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev mercurial autoconf automake groff curl lzop asciidoc To setup the repo utility (a tool written on top of git), run the commands: $ mkdir ~/bin (this step may not be needed if the bin folder already exists) $ curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo $ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo Then add the following line to .bashrc to ensure the ~/bin is in the PATH variable. export PATH=~/bin:$PATH To download the Freescale Yocto Project Community BSP: $ mkdir fsl-release-bsp $ cd fsl-release-bsp $ repo init -u git://git.freescale.com/imx/fsl-arm-yocto-bsp.git -b imx-4.1-krogoth $ repo sync To build the image, in the fsl-release-bsp run the commands: $ mkdir buildDevSpi $ DISTRO=fsl-imx-xwayland MACHINE=imx7dsabresd source fsl-setup-release.sh -b buildDevSpi $ bitbake fsl-image-machine-test To build the toolchain, run: $ bitbake meta-toolchain $ cd buildDevSpi/tmp/deploy/sdk/ $ ./fsl-imx-xwayland-glibc-x86_64-meta-toolchain-cortexa7hf-neon-toolchain-4.1.15-2.1.0.sh Accept the default parameters. In order to deploy the image on an SD card use: $ sudo dd if=fsl-image-machine-test-imx7dsabresd.sdcard of=<sd card> bs=1M && sync The image is found in buildDevSpi/tmp/deploy/images/imx7dsabresd. For the kernel module compilation, setup the console environment: $ . /opt/fsl-imx-xwayland/4.1.14-2.1.0/environment-setup-cortexa7hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi Then, in the kernel module directory, replace the path with your linux build directory in the Makefile and run: $ make The bal.ko is the compiled module. To use the kernel menuconfig, run: $ bitbake -c menuconfig linux-imx Another useful command, for rebuilding the linux kernel image, is: $ bitbake -f -c compile linux-imx; bitbake -f -c deploy linux-imx; bitbake -f -c compile fsl-image-machine-test; bitbake -f fsl-image-machine-test Host interface The interface of the PN5180 to a host is based on a SPI interface, extended by the signal line BUSY. Only half-duplex data transfer is supported and no chaining is allowed, meaning that the whole instruction has to be sent, or the whole receiver buffer has to be read out. The module is connected to the i.MX7D board using the mikro bus expansion port in the following way: MK_BUS_CS, MK_BUS_SCK, MK_BUS_MOSI, MK_BUS_MISO are used for the SPI bus lines. MK_BUS_INT, MK_BUS_RX, MK_BUS_TX are used for the BUSY, RESET and IRQ lines. The pin configuration will be the following: GPIO6_IO22 will be the CS, GPIO6_IO14 will be BUSY, GPIO_IO12 will be RESET and GPIO_IO13 will be IRQ. The DWL pin, which can be used for firmware update, will be connected to GND. A common ground is also required. Connections table: Jumper Jumper Pins Description i.MX7D I/O Tower Edge J4 1 - 2 SPI Clk Selection ECSPI3_SCLK (SAI2_RX_DATA) B7 J20 1 - 2 PN5180 Reset GPIO6_IO12 (SAI1_RX_DATA) B8 J1 1 - 2 SPI SS0 GPIO6_IO22 (SAI2_TX_DATA) B9 J3 1 - 2 SPI MOSI ECSPI3_MOSI (SAI2_TX_BCLK) B10 J2 1 - 2 SPI MISO ECSPI3_MISO (SAI2_TX_SYNC) B11 J19 2 - 3 PN5180 BUSY GPIO6_IO14 (SAI1_TX_SYNC) B58 J5 1 - 2 PN5180 IRQ GPIO6_IO13 (SAI1_TX_BCLK) B62 X X PN5180 DWL GND B52 X X GND GND B2 Kernel Configuration In order to allow the library to manage the RESET, IRQ and BUSY pins, the options for Debug GPIO and Userspace I/O drivers must be enabled (in menuconfig, Device Drivers -> GPIO Support -> Debug GPIO and Device Drivers -> Userspace I/O -> Userspace I/O platform driver with generic IRQ). For controlling the SPI, there are two options: spidev or NXP bal. For spidev, it is necessary to select Device Drivers -> SPI support -> User mode SPI and apply the imx7d-sdb_spidev.patch (it also does the pinmuxing, it is attached to the document). When using NXP bal, it is necessary to compile the module, initialize it with insmod and apply the imx7d-sdb_bal.patch (it also does the pinmuxing, the patch and the module are attached to this document). Library Configuration For the library configuration, <lib-folder>/Platform/DAL/Board_Imx6ulevkPn5180.h must be replaced with Board_Imx7dsabresdPn5180_bal.h or Board_Imx7dsabresdPn5180_spidev.h (based on the selected spi interface). For compilation, the command is: $ ./build.sh yocto /opt/fsl-imx-xwayland/4.1.15-2.1.0/sysroots/ The last parameter is the location of the toolchain generated by yocto. A build folder is generated outside of the source code folder. The applications from the ComplianceApp can be deployed on the board in order to test the functionality provided.

The attached document describes how to integrate the souphttpsrc plugin and make it work.

The customer would like to test BT.656 using Test mode. Is it supported? 38.4.3.3 Test mode in RM shows only one CSIx_SENS_CONG setting. Does it mean Test mode support only one as follows? Does Test mode support other settings? CSIx_EXT_VSYNC = 0x1 CSIx_DATA_WIDTH = 0x1 CSIx_SENS_DATA_FORMAT = 0x0 CSIx_PACK_TIGHT = 0x0 CSIx_SENS_PRTCL = 0x1 CSIx_SENS_PIX_CLK_POL = 0x1 CSIx_DATA_POL = 0x0 CSIx_HSYNC_POL = 0x0 CSIx_VSYNC_POL = 0x0 For example, customer want to know if Test mode support  CSIx_SENS_PRTCL=0x2or 0x3 instead of 0x1? customer want to know if Test mode support CSIx_SENS_DATA_FORMAT=0x1or 0x2 instead of 0x0? Answer: CSI CM TEST MODE is working as below: 1,only ungated mode. 2,data width should be configured to 8 3,data format should be configured to rgb888 It cannot be other format such as bt656. It uses CSI1_TST_CTRL register to configure {R,G,B} 24 bit value and taking it as RGB888/YUV444 format for further process.  The generated image size is due to the configured width & height in the registers.

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 MMDC initialization. The last sheet formats the register settings for use with ARM RealView ICE. It can also be used with the windows executable for the DDR Stress Test. This programming aid was used for internal NXP validation boards.

Hardware connection: there are two board-to-board connectors on E-INK daughter card IMXEBOOKDC4, while there is only one on i.MX7D Sabre board, as the picture below. This might be a bit confusing to connect the two: Checked with internal, the original design was trying to wire both eLCDIF and EPDC bus out to one daughter card, add the flexibility to have different configurations on one display daughter card(LCD/EPD). On i.MX7D Sabre board, only one connector is available for EPDC bus. Here is how we connect i.MX7D Sabre and IMXEBOOKDC4: Software setup: here we use pre-build L3.14.38_6UL7D_Beta Linux as our boot-image, steps to setup/boot/test EPDC: 1. download and decompress BSP pre-build image package "L3.14.38_beta_images_MX6UL7D.tar.gz", you should be able to find the SD image in it -- "fsl-image-gui-x11-imx7dsabresd.sdcard" 2. program the SD image on your SD card(>800 MBytes) with command(I'm running this in Ubuntu): "dd if=fsl-image-gui-x11-imx7dsabresd.sdcard of=/dev/sdb;sync" 3. insert SD card to the slot(J6) on i.MX7D Sabre board, connect debug-UART and power-on the board 4. modify the u-boot environment variables as below:      a.) setenv fdt_file imx7d-sdb-epdc.dtb           (originally this is "fdt_file=imx7d-sdb.dtb")      b.) setenv mmcargs 'setenv bootargs console=${console},${baudrate} root=${mmcroot} epdc video=mxcepdcfb:E060SCM,bpp=16'           (originally this is "mmcargs=setenv bootargs console=${console},${baudrate} root=${mmcroot}") 5. boot into Linux kernel, run unit-test: "/unit_tests/mxc_epdc_fb_test.out", should be able to have test patterns running on EPD.

Low power demo on i.MX8MM.   9/28/2020: Attachments updated. 1. Fix a bug in 5.4.24 kernel that system can only wakeup once. 2. Remove 0x104 from atf patch. On 5.4.24, tested OK without PLL2.   9/8/2020: Attachments updated. Add patches for 5.4.24 kernel.   We use it to test power consumption on i.MX8MM EVK.   Usage: 1. Kernel: echo "mem" > /sys/power/state   2. M4: Select a power mode from menu and wait for wakeup. Default wakeup method is GPT.   Add more patches, which will add functions for the case: 1. M core RUN and A core in suspend with DDR OFF. 2. M core wakeup A core without DDR support.   Descriptions: freertos_lowpower.zip. A simple freertos example for M4 RUN when A core in DSM. Generally, we use MU_TriggerInterrupts(MUB, kMU_GenInt0InterruptTrigger); to do wakeup. low_power_demo.zip A simple baremetal example for M4 RUN when A core in DSM. Generally, we use MU_TriggerInterrupts(MUB, kMU_GenInt0InterruptTrigger); to do wakeup. Note that the freertos version will have more options in menu. atf patch: Allow A53 to enter fast-wakeup stop when M4 RUN. Also avoid bypass of some plls, which is important to make M4 RUN when A53 enters suspend. 0001-iMX8MM-GIR-wakeup.patch: GIR wakeup patch for kernel. Need kernel to use fsl-imx8mm-evk-m4.dtb. 0002-Don-t-keep-root-clks-when-M4-is-ON.patch. Don't keep root clocks when M4 is ON. 0001-plat-imx8mm-keep-the-necessary-clock-enabled-for-rdc.patch. There's a design issue that when wakeup from DSM, described in patch: "if NOC power down is enabled in DSM mode, when system resume back, RDC need to reload the memory regions config into the MRCs, so PCIE, DDR, GPU bus related clock must on to make sure RDC MRCs can be successfully reloaded." Note that this patch will keep PCIE, DDR and GPU clock on, which will increase the power. An optimization will be decrease PCIE, DDR and GPU clock before entering DSM.   Power measurement: Supply Domain Voltage(V) I(mA) P(mW) peak avg peak avg peak avg VDD_ARM(L6) 1.010029 1.009513 1.109 1.030 1.120 1.039 VDD_SOC(L5) 0.855199 0.854857 190.110 189.973 162.582 162.400 VDD_GPU_VPU_DRAM(L10) 0.977240 0.977050 19.865 19.800 19.413 19.346 NVCC_DRAM(L15) 1.094407 1.094168 2.059 1.984 2.253 2.171 Total         185.367 184.956   Notes: This power measurements is got by putting Cortex-A in DSM and Cortex-M in RUNNING. In other tests, if M core can be put to STOP mode, additional power can be saved (5 - 20mA in VDD_SOC). From the table, we can see that by putting DDR to retain, a lot of power can be saved in VDD_SOC and NVCC_DRAM.

Working with mainline U-Boot Freescale BSP provides an i.MX51 EVK U-boot port. However, i.MX51 EVK is also supported on I-boot main tree. This quick "how to" teaches how to use it. 0. Get u-boot code from the imx U-Boot Custodian tree: $ git clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot-imx.git 1. Prepare the environment: $ export PATH="$PATH:/opt/freescale/usr/local/gcc-4.1.2-glibc-2.5-nptl-3/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/bin/" $ export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- 2. Configure for i.MX 51 EVK $ cd u-boot-imx $ make mx51evk_config 3. Compile $ make u-boot.imx   iMX may SoCs use its internal ROM to execute some instructions at boot time, using "make u-boot.imx" an image containing the instructions 4. Copy the compiled file to a SD card on your host machine, insert the SD card and: $ sudo dd if=u-boot.imx of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=512 seek=2 "/dev/mmcblk0" should replaced according to your host, use "dmesg" after inserting the SD to find out where is the SD on your host. Unmount it before issuing the dd command. seek 2, skips the first 1K bytes (2x512) of the SD where the ROM expects the boot image for SD. 5. Insert the SD on the i.MX51 EVK, and set the switches for SD card boot and power on the board.

Inside IPU there are two block where color space conversion can be made: IC (Image Converter) and DP (Display processor). On Linux, the CSC parameters are located at IPU (IC and DP) drivers, linux/drivers/mxc/ipu3 folder. All negative coefficients are represented using two's complement.

Configuring RedBoot The Redboot configuration is made using a Minicom session that need to be established between host and target through serial port. To have an operational system been executed just on the power on, configure the right for Boot script. The chooses are shown in #Boot Script section. To avoid the start of operational system, power on the board and press CTRL-C immediately. Wait until RedBoot> prompt appears. Overview The main command for beginners is fconfig -l that can be abbreviated as fc -l This command shows the actual configuration of Redboot, like: RedBoot> fc -l Run script at boot: true Boot script: .. load -r -b 0x100000 /tftpboot/zImage .. exec -b 0x100000 -l 0x200000 -c "noinitrd console=ttymxc0,115200 root=/dev/n" Boot script timeout (1000ms resolution): 1 Use BOOTP for network configuration: false Gateway IP address: 10.29.241.254 Local IP address: 10.29.241.6 Local IP address mask: 255.255.254.0 Default server IP address: 10.29.244.99 Board specifics: 0 Console baud rate: 115200 Set eth0 network hardware address [MAC]: false GDB connection port: 9000 Force console for special debug messages: false Network debug at boot time: false RedBoot> Run script at boot: set true for booting with a script or false to always enter on prompt directly Boot script: define what commands to execute as script at the startup Boot script timeout: how many time to wait before execute boot script Use BOOTP for network configuration: set true for getting configuration from BOOTP or false for manually configuring gateway and IP address Gateway IP address: The IP address of the gateway Local IP address: The board IP address Local IP address mask: The board IP mask address Default server IP address: The host IP address when NFS and TFTP server are running Configuring Network Execute the command to configure network parameters: RedBoot> fc This step guarantee the possibilities to load images from some server previously connected and configured. For Use BOOTP for network configuration: answer false. For Gateway IP address: type the gateway IP address of your network; For Local IP address: type an IP address to your board, it needs to be a valid IP in your network; For Local IP address mask: type the IP mask address; For Default server IP address: type the IP of your host server where are running TFTP and NFS. Pay special attencion for Update RedBoot non-volatile configuration - continue (y/n)?. Answer y to have your configuration saved in the flash. To verify if your configuration is working use ping, be patient this command is very slow: RedBoot> ping -h 10.29.244.99 Network PING - from 10.29.241.6 to 10.29.244.99 PING - received 10 of 10 expected Use the "-n" option to change the number of pings and the "-r" option to speed things up, such as: ping -n 3 -h 10.29.244.99 -r 10. The boot script configuration is done in the next section. Boot Script NFS Boot In NFS Boot mode, a kernel image and a root file system image are loaded from a configured server through TFTP and NFS that can be executed doing the development more easy. To configure RedBoot for NFS Boot reset the board and press CTRL-C immediately. In a Minicom session type fc to modify the configuration boot. Enter the script boot below RedBoot> fc Run script at boot: true Boot script: Enter script, terminate with empty line >> load -r -b 0x100000 /tftpboot/zImage >>> exec -b 0x100000 -l 0x200000 -c "noinitrd console=ttymxc0,115200 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=10.29.244.99:/tftpboot/rootfs init=/linuxrc ip=10.29.241.6:10.29.244.99" >> Boot script timeout (1000ms resolution): 1 Use BOOTP for network configuration: false Gateway IP address: 10.29.241.254 Local IP address: 10.29.241.6 Local IP address mask: 255.255.254.0 Default server IP address: 10.29.244.99 Board specifics: 0 Console baud rate: 115200 Set eth0 network hardware address [MAC]: false GDB connection port: 9000 Force console for special debug messages: false Network debug at boot time: false Update RedBoot non-volatile configuration - continue (y/n)? y ...

The first line load the kernel image (zImage) by TFTP from /tftpboot, the directory configured in TFTP.\ The second line executes the kernel and mount the root file system using NFS. The path /tftpboot/ltib indicates the path that should be exported in the host machine. (It's the path in the /etc/exports) 10.29.244.99 is the host IP address 10.29.241.6 is the target IP address Flash Boot For flash boot the Boot Script differs a little bit: fis init kernel exec -c "noinitrd console=ttymxc0,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock8 rw rootfstype=jffs2 ip=none" The value for root can be different for each board type.
