Hi team, My customer is facing the issue of unexpected behavior of i.MX6Q SSI. The customer uses SSI as slave/Network mode. And they want to transfer 4 time-slot data. As for the register setting, RFEN0, RFEN1 and RDMAE is set to 1. And only first time slot data is transferred. Do you have any ideas about the cause of this? Thanks, Miyamoto This document was generated from the following discussion: 

i.MX31 - 3 Stack There are two boot modes for IMX31PDK. In Internal Boot mode, the processor will execute an address from internal memory, and in External Boot mode the processor will execute an address from a external memory properly configured. This modes can be configured setting the values of dip switch SW5-SW10 shown in image below. Debug board. Top view. External Boot from Flash In this mode, the processor will execute an address into a external flash (NAND). If there is a bootloader saved in the right place in flash, it will be executed and the system will start. If there are a kernel image and a root file system saved configured, the operational system will start. The values for the IMX31PDK dip switches programming the boot sequence are show in table below. SW5 SW6 SW7 SW8 SW9 SW10 Internal Boot (programming flash) 0 0 0 0 0 0 External Boot from Flash 0 1 0 0 0 0 Internal Boot The Internal Boot mode enables ATK to communicate with processor and perform the writing of images into flash (bootloader image, kernel image and root file system image).

The solution works when I use mx53_loco bsp. Modify u-boot and kernel, keep the same. Then you may find you can't login into the system regardless of whatever you input after freescale login: It confused me for a long time. If you  also met this problem,try to check the iomux-mx53.h(linux/arch/arm/plat-mxc/include/mach/). #define _MX53_PAD_PATA_DIOW__UART1_TXD_MUX   IOMUX_PAD(the fourth argument 0x878 should be changed to 0x0) I think this is a small bug in header files.

This document describes the steps for flashing eMMC from SD Card on i.MX6Q SabreSD board. Download the prebuilt images (Linux 4.1.15) of i.MX6Q SabreSD board from this link. Flash the sdcard image on SD Card. sudo dd if=<sdcard_image> of=/dev/sdX bs=1M && sync Select Boot Mode to SD Card and boot the board from SD Card. Stop the console at u-boot and execute below command. ums 0 mmc 1                 // this will mount SD card as USB Mass Storage to your system Copy bootloader image from system to USB Mass Storage cp <u-boot_image> /media/username/<rootfs>/home/root/ Eject the USB Mass Storage and terminate the ums process by pressing ctrl+c in u-boot. Power Off and Power On the board and login to the kernel console. Flash the bootloader image to eMMC dd if=/home/root/<u-boot_image> of=/dev/mmcblk3 bs=512 seek=2 conv=fsync Mount the partition 1 of SD Card to copy the kernel image and DTB file to /home/root folder. mount /dev/mmcblk2p1 /mnt/ cp -r /mnt/zImage /mnt/imx6q-sabresd.dtb /home/root umount /dev/mmcblk2p1 Make partitions on eMMC manually as per section 4.3.3 in this document using fdisk /dev/mmcblk3 command. Format the partition 1 on eMMC as VFAT and partition 2 as ext4 with below commands mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk3p1 mkfs.ext4 /dev/mmcblk3p2 Mount the partion 1 of eMMC and copy kernel image & DTB file. mount /dev/mmcblk3p1 /mnt/ cp -r /home/root/zImage /home/root/imx6q-sabresd.dtb /mnt/ umount /dev/mmcblk3p1 Mount the partion 2 of eMMC & SD Card and copy the file system. mount /dev/mmcblk3p2 /mnt/                                                         // mount partition 2 of SD Card mkdir /home/root/rootfs && mount /dev/mmcblk3p2 rootfs     // mount partition 2 of eMMC cp -ar /mnt/* /home/root/rootfs/ sync umount /dev/mmcblk2p2 umount /dev/mmcblk3p2 Change the Boot Mode to eMMC Power Up the Board. (this will boot the images from eMMC) NOTE: Above steps does not require any other images for eMMC. All the images for eMMC and SD Card are same. Regards, Shivani

GTK+ GTK is a graphic library developed initially by Gimp (Gimp ToolKit). GTK was selected as default GUI to create the Gnome Desktop and currently it is used on many desktop environment (XFCE, LXDE, etc). When GTK was developed it was depending on X Server (X11) but currently it can run over DirectFB. In order to add GTK+ support on i.MX board you need first to choice DirectFB or X11 to be it's default graphic infrastructure. The following pages contain informations and instruction of how to compile and use them. If you want to compile GTK over DirectFB: All Boards DirectFB If you want to compile GTK over X11: All Boards X11 All Boards GTK Manually All Boards GTK Glade GTK Demo GTK2 package comes with "gtk-demo". It's a demo executable to demonstrate some GTK gadgets. In order to use it with DirectFB, compile the following packages using LTIB: [*] GTK2 [*] DirectFB [*]  configure for use with touchscreen [*]  DirectFB-examples "if you would like to test DirectFB" [*] Liberation fonts [*] Tslib After starting Linux on i.MX, load the following modules: mx# /etc/rc.d/init.d/gtk2 start gtk: creating gdk-pixbuf.loaders mx# /etc/rc.d/init.d/pango start pango: creating module list Execute gtk-demo: mx# /usr/bin/gtk-demo GTK Demo with X If you would like to test the gtk-demo application over X, start X first (tested on i.MX25 PDK): mx# Xfbdev -screen 480×640 -mouse tslib,,device=/dev/input/event1 & mx# export DISPLAY=:0.0 mx# /usr/bin/gtk-demo

Changing the storage for U-boot environment variables   U-Boot on Freescale BSP has a compiling option that allows you to choose the storage for environment variables.   1 - Extract the u-boot source using LTIB: ./ltib -m prep -p u-boot   2 - The source will be extracted to <ltib path>/rpm/BUILD/u-boot-2009.08   3 - On u-Boot source locate the i.MXEVK config file, <ltib path>/rpm/BUILD/u-boot-2009.08/include/configs/mx51_bbg.h   4 - To change the storage of variables environment to SD card, on this file, comment out CONFIG_FSL_ENV_IN_SF and define CONFIG_FSL_ENV_IN_MMC:   //#define CONFIG_FSL_ENV_IN_SF   #define CONFIG_FSL_ENV_IN_MMC 5 - Adjust CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE and CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET accordingly. Recall that sd card read block size is 512B.   For example:   #define CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE (256 * 512)   #define CONFIG_ENV_SIZE CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE   #if defined(CONFIG_FSL_ENV_IN_MMC)   #define CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC 1 #define CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET (1023 * 512)   6 - Save the file.   7 - Recompile u-boot: ./ltib -m scbuild -p u-boot   8 - Your new compiled u-boot image will be saved at: <ltib path>/rpm/BUILD/u-boot-2009.08/u-boot.bin

Question: What does it means by depending on load? Is there a value? This is  related with i.MX6D Answer: The comment about the "load" means the total system load on the 2.5V rail. We understand that people design systems, not just MX6 devices. The documentation confusion stems from the design team changing from allowing customers to use the LDOs to power system devices back to just using the LDOs to power the MX6. Reasons - thermals, and also concern for uncontrolled system noise injection into the MX6 and causing failures.

Q: Is there any guidelines document on 3G/4G modem integration with the iMX platforms running Android Lollipop versions ? A: Generally speaking, porting documents on 3G/4G should be provided by manufacture, For different 3G/4G module, porting steps are also distinct.The following steps are for ZTE 3G on android jb 4.2.2,  as a reference: ----Common steps: (1) linux USB driver In linux kernel, we should select GSM module in USB driver path. (2)Communication port for 3G After linux booting normally, you can find some communation port at path /dev/, like ttyUSB0,ttyUSB1,ttyUSB2... These tty ports are for AT commands & data transmitting, but which one is for data , or which one is for AT command, we should have to ask manufacture or get information for them. (3)dial script 3G manufacture will give the script to you, if not, ask for it. (4)Dynamic library(libreference-ril.so) 3G manufacture will give you the library to replace original one in android. (5)Add service for 3G in init.rc file according their documents ---As an example, let us see steps for ZTE 3G(CDMA) ** Replace original file with libreference-ril.so file that ZTE released. **Copy init.gprs-pppd file to system/etc/ppp directory **Modify init..rc like following: service ril-daemon /system/bin/rild -l /system/lib/libreference-ril.so -- -d /dev/ttyUSB2 -u /dev/ttyUSB0 class main socket rild stream 660 root radio socket rild-debug stream 660 radio system socket rild-ppp stream 660 radio system user root group radio cache inet misc audio sdcard_rw log service pppd_gprs /etc/ppp/init.gprs-pppd class main user root group radio cache inet misc disabled oneshot

Hi all, I'm using this patch to get BT656 output on my i.MX6Q: Patch to Support BT656 and BT1120 Output For i.MX6 BSP Now I am looking for a way to clamp the pixel values between 16 to 240. Based on the i.MX6Q Reference Manual (37.4.5.6 IC Task Parameter Memory), this can be done by setting a IC task parameter called SAT_MODE from 0 to 1, but I'm not sure how it should be done. I've inspected the ipu_disp.c code and I guess the right way to do this is calling ipu_dp_write inside __ipu_dp_csc_setup function to set SAT_MODE to 1, but know I don't know which address to give toipu_dp_write since SAT_MODE is not defined in the ipu_regs.h. Looking at other parameters addresses (e.g. DP_CSC_0) and comparing their counterpart in the Reference Manual doesn't get my anywhere either. Bests, Isaac Hi Isaac, the default BSP code doesn't support DP_CSC_YUV_SAT_MODE modification, just used the default value 0. You can reference to the ioctl "MXCFB_SET_GAMMA" to add it into mxcfb_ioctl() of file mxc_ipuv3_fb.c. Bit 11 in IPUx_DP_COM_CONF_SYNC is for DP_CSC_YUV_SAT_MODE. So you can add it in ipu_regs.h: DP_COM_CONF_CSC_DEF_BOTH = 0x00000100, + DP_COM_CONF_CSC_YUV_SAT_MODE = 0x00000800, DP_COM_CONF_GAMMA_EN = 0x00001000, For BT656 display, IC CSC was not used, it used DP CSC. This document was generated from the following discussion: How to change SAT_MODE in BT656 display output for i.MX6

  “Hardware Development Guide for i.MX 6SoloX …” does not provide any recommendations regarding configuring JTAG tools, assuming ARM DSTREAM  / DS-5 using. Nevertheless, it is possible to apply ARM RealView tools with i.MX6 SoloX. Chapter 7 (Configuring JTAG Tools) of  “Hardware Development Guide for i.MX 6Quad, 6Dual, 6DualLite, 6Solo Families…” contains base considerations, that may be used for i.MX6 SoloX too. http://cache.freescale.com/files/32bit/doc/user_guide/IMX6DQ6SDLHDG.pdf Some addition details  are provided below.   Both A9 core and M4 core have their own DAP, all the resources in its platform will be accessed through its own DAP. JTAG Chain Configuration: − SJC, IR Length = 5, same as i.MX 6Solo; − SDMA, IR Length = 5, same as i.MX 6Solo; − DAP for A9, IR Length = 4, same as i.MX 6Solo; − DAP for M4, IR Length = 4, new in i.MX 6SoloX. It is needed to use the recent RVICE firmware, which may be found in ARM DS5 Community Edition. http://ds.arm.com/ds-5-community-edition/ After installation, please run “Debug Hardware Update” option of the DS5 and select the firmware file for “Install Firware Update” menu. In my case : c:\Program Files\DS-5 v5.21.0\sw\debughw\firmware\ARM-RVI-4.23.0-35-base.rvi   Finally, RealView configuration looks as below. Coresight base address Cortex-A9_0 is 0x82150000. The Cortex-A9 always boots as the primary core and is responsible for launching the Cortex-M4.

Two year ago we have developed a 16 bit ETM adaptor to connect our PowerTrace II module with our AUTOFOCUS II preprocessor : TRACE32® Chip Support and Configurations for IMX6QUAD This adaptor is connected on the EDGE connector of the SABRE Automotive Industry board from Freescale and provide a MICTOR 38 connector compatible with 16 bit maximum ETM size. This is the maximum ETM size supported by iMX6. The maximum Trace clock frequency riched is 132 Mhz, which provide enough bandwidth to trace a full ANDROID running on Quad Core iMX6 !!! and it works perfectly. with Lauterbach tools you can debug completely Linux kernel and driver and full ANDROID support using our dalvik awareness that show you the complete call stack from low level system linux call to high level JAVA code. this adaptor is already in use on several customer from us, with perfect result. TRACE32 can now display all the code executed by the iMX6 Quad for each core, with no limitation on time recording. Linux task switch timing, profiling function, MIPS information, Detailed Tree function etc ... more detail here : TRACE32® Trace-based Profiling here below a small example of what you can see : here below the board, and schematic. in case you want the full schematic for this adaptor, please contact me, i can then provide it for free ... if you buy some Lauterbach tools 😉 Jean-Pierre Paradiso Sales Manager http://www.lauterbach.com/frames.html?tutorials.html PS : we are also developping a new ETM adapter compatible with our partner DAVE (DAVE Embedded Systems ) that develop very nice eval board on iMX6 called AXEL EVB will be available soon through the official DAVE  distributor in France : Cynetis

Q: To do a triple display demo based on imx6 SDP. The 3 channel are 1 lvds & 1hdmi & 1 lcd  and the OS is Android JB4.3. The dual display works and those 2 screens can all display the Android desktop.
