On L4.1.15 BSP, PWM output clock may be not stable, for example, it may switch between 200KHz and 50KHz. PWM clock source is perclk, in running mode, perclk is 24MHz, while in low power idle mode, perclk is reduced to 6MHz, so PWM output clock is reduced to 1/4. To keep PWM output stable clock, we should let perclk stay in 24MHz in low power idle mode. Attached is the patch for 6UL and 6ULL.

Overview As more and more communication required between online and offline, the QR code is widely used in the mobile payment, mobile small apps, industry things identification and etc. The i.MX6UL/ULL has the IP of CSI and PXP for camera connection and image CSC/FLIP/ROTATION acceleration. A LCDIF IP is supporting the display, but no 3D IP support. This means this low power and low end AP is very suitable for the industry HMI segment, which does not require a cool 3D graphic display, but a simple and straightforward GUI for interaction. QR code scanner is one of the use cases in the industry segment, which more and more customer are focusing on. The i.MX6UL CPU freq of i.MX6UL is about 500Mhz, and it does not have GPU IP, so a lightweight GUI and window system is required. Here we recommend the QT with wayland backend (without X11), which would make the window system small and faster than traditional X11 UI. Why chose QT is because of it has open source version, rich components, platform independent, good performance for embedded system and strong development staffs like QtCreator for creating application. How to enable the QT development environment, check this: Enable QT developement for i.MX6UL (v2)  Here I made a QR code scanner demo based on QT5.6 + QZXing (QR/Bar code scan engine) running on the i.MX6UL EVK board with a UVC camera (at least 640x480 resolution is required) and 480x272px LCD. Source code is open here (License Apache2.0): https://github.com/muddog/QRScanner  Implementation To do camera preview and capture, you must think on the gstreamer first, which is easy use and has the acceleration pads which implemented by NXP for i.MX6UL. Yes, it's very easy for you to enable the preview in console like: $ gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! video/x-raw,format=YUY2,width=640,height=320 ! imxvideoconvert_pxp ! video/x-raw,format=RGB16 ! waylandsink It works under the i.MX6UL EVK, with PXP IP to do color space convert from YUY2 -> RGB16 acceleration, also the potential scaling of the image. The CPU loading of this is about 20-30%, but if you use the component of "videoconvert" to replace the "imxvideoconvert_pxp", we do CSC and scale by CPU, then the loading would increase to 50-60%. The "/dev/video1" is the device node for UVC camera, it may different in your environment. So our target is clear, create such pipeline (with PXP acceleration) in the QT application, and use a appsink to get preview images, do simple "sink" to one QWidget by drawing this image on the widget surface for preview (say every 50ms for 20fps). Then in other thread, we fetch the preview buffer in a fixed frequency (like every 0.5s), then feed it into the ZXing engine to decode the strings inside this image. Here are the class created inside the source code: ScannerQWidgetSink It act as a gstreamer sink for preview rendering. Init the pipeline, create a timer with timeout every 50ms. In the timer handler, we use appsink to copy the camera buffer from gstreamer, and tell the ViewfinderWidget to do update (re-draw event). ViewfinderWidget This class inherit from the QWidget, which draw the preview buffer as a QImage onto it's own surface by using QPainter. The QImage is created at the very begining with the image buffer created by the ScannerQWidgetSink. Because QImage itself does not maintain the image buffer, so the buffer must be alive during it's usage. So we keep this buffer during the ScannerQWidgetSink life cycle, copy the appsink buffer from pipeline to it for preview. MainWindow Create main window, which does not have title bar and border. Start any animation for the red line scan bar. Create instance of DecoderThread and ScannerQWidgetSink. Setup and start them. DecoderThread A infinite loop, to wait for a available buffer released by the ScannerQWidgetSink every 0.5s. Copy the buffer data to it's own buffer (imgData) to avoid any change to the buffer by sink when doing decoding. Then feed this copy of buffer into ZXing engine to get decoder result. Then show on the QLabel. Screenshot under wayland (weston) desktop: Customize Camera instance Now I use the UVC camera which pluged in the USB host, which device node is /dev/video1. If you want to use CSI or other device, please change the construction parameters for ScannerQWidgetSink(): sink = new ScannerQWidgetSink(ui->widget, QString("v4l2src device=/dev/video1")); Image resolution captured and review Change the static member value of ScannerQWidgetSink class: uint ScannerQWidgetSink::CAPTURE_HEIGHT = 480; uint ScannerQWidgetSink::CAPTURE_WIDTH = 640; Preview fps and decoding frequency Find the "framerate=20/1" strings in the ScannerQWidgetSink::GstPipelineInit(), change to your fps. You also have to change the renderTimer start timeout value in the ::StartRender(). The decoding frequency is determined by renderCnt, which determine after how many preview frames showed to feed the decoder. Main window size It's fixed size of main window, you have to change the mainwindow.ui. It's easy to do in the QtCreate Designer. FAQ Why not use CSI camera in demo? Honestly, I do not have CSI camera module, it's also DNP when you buying the board on NXP.com. So a widely used UVC camera is preferred, it's also easy for you to scan QR code on your phone, your display panel etc. Why not use QCamera to do preview and capture? The QCamera class in the Qtmultimedia component uses the camerabin2 gstreamer plugin, which create a very long pipeline for different usage of viewfinder, image capture and video encoder. Camerabin2 would eat too much CPU and memory resource, take picture and recording are very very slow. The preview of 30fps would eat about 70-80% CPU loading even I hacked it using imxvideoconvert_pxp instread of software videoconvert. Finally I give up to implement the QRScanner based on QCamera. How to make sure only one instance of QT app is running? We can use QSharedMemory to create a share memory with a unique KEY. When second instance of app is started, it would check if the share memory with this KEY is created or not. If the shm is there, it means there's already one instance running, it has to exit(). But as the QT mentioned, the QSharedMemory can not be destroyed correctly when app crashed, this means we have to handle each terminate signal, and do delete by ourselves: static QSharedMemory *gShm = NULL; static void terminate(int signum) {    if (gShm) {       delete gShm;       gShm = NULL;    }    qDebug() << "Terminate with signal:" << signum;    exit(128 + signum); } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {    QApplication a(argc, argv);    // Handle any further termination signals to ensure the    // QSharedMemory block is deleted even if the process crashes    signal(SIGHUP, terminate ); // 1    signal(SIGINT, terminate ); // 2    signal(SIGQUIT, terminate ); // 3    signal(SIGILL, terminate ); // 4    signal(SIGABRT, terminate ); // 6    signal(SIGFPE, terminate ); // 8    signal(SIGBUS, terminate ); // 10    signal(SIGSEGV, terminate ); // 11    signal(SIGSYS, terminate ); // 12    signal(SIGPIPE, terminate ); // 13    signal(SIGALRM, terminate ); // 14    signal(SIGTERM, terminate ); // 15    signal(SIGXCPU, terminate ); // 24    signal(SIGXFSZ, terminate ); // 25    gShm = new QSharedMemory("QRScannerNXP");    if (!gShm->create(4, QSharedMemory::ReadWrite)) {       delete gShm;       qDebug() << "Only allow one instance of QRScanner";       exit(0);    } .....

Dear,   We want to start application program from bootloader, we have below questions: We we use I.MX6UL bootrom start BootLoader， we need use mkimage.sh, compile and generator bin file, then we convert to executable file. If we need use Bootloader run application program,whether application image also need convert by mkimage.sh?  The file which convert by mkimage.sh is compressed file. we do not know its format, how about its start address, how to realize the the address jump, do you have example? Thanks.  

I have a few questions about the various reference designs for the i.mx6UL. Please see the attachment for specifics.

Overview The purpose of this document is to collect general information about PCIe certificaton (Tx only) on i.MX 7Dual SabreSD board. Test Procedure Please refer to "PCIe Certification Guide for i.MX 7Dual" for more details about test procedure. Software Configuration PCIe certificaiton requires PCIe module to keep clocks always on. So software needs to enable "CONFIG_PCI_IMX6_COMPLIANCE_TEST" by default for the certification. Appropriative PCIe reference clock generator is recommended for certification. i.MX differential clock is not compliant with PCIe standard. So external reference clock is recommended for PCIe certification. i.MX 7Dual SabreSD board enables external reference clock by default and  and i.MX 7Dual default BSP has also adopted external reference clock as PCIe clock source by default. Test Report Please see attachment for i.MX 7Dual PCIe certification test report for Tx based on the following configuration: Software Image: L4.1.15_1.2.0_ga internal candidate image with enabling CONFIG_PCI_IMX6_COMPLIANCE_TEST configuration for Kernel image.

For information on using DDR stress test tool refer to documentation. 5. Once board is detected in DDR stress test tool, use appropriate inc script in the tool and click on download. After successful downloading of script , DDR will be initialised. 6. Now connect JTAG cable , and load u-boot.bin image using load_image command from JTAG to appropriate address, for imx6q sabresd board it is 0x17800000. 7. Once image is downloaded successfully, you can resume from same address using resume command like resume 0x178000000 For custom boards, you can use xls provided by NXP to generate inc file for custom board which can be used for loading into DDR stress test tool to initalise DDR. I am using Arm olimex JTAG debugger for debugging. This document was generated from the following discussion: Loading u-boot.bin unsing JTAG on imx6q-sabresd board

Overview In latest i.MX6UL/i.MX6ULL EVK boards, Ethernet PHY chip is upgraded with new revsion ID (01) although the same part number KSZ8081RNBIA is used. The detailed change is as follows: Mark on old Ethernet PHY chip (Silicon Revision ID is 0, Mark is A2):             KSZ8081             RNBIA             1439A2T             M147J18M02 Mark on new Ethernet PHY chip (Silicon Revision ID is 1, Mark is A3)               KSZ8081               RNBIA               1602SA3T                M159S28M23                                   Software Patch Linux BSP requires to be updated to support this new Ethernet PHY because PHY setting is designed to be associated with silicon ID. See attached patch for the details (Please note: i.MX6ULL/i.MX6UL EVK shared the same board file.) The formal patch is also included into the releases starting from L4.1.15_2.0.1. See http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx/meta-fsl-bsp-release.git/tree/imx/meta-bsp/recipes-kernel/linux/files?id=imx_4.1.15_2.0.1 If ethernet doesn't function on your i.MX6UL/i.MX6ULL EVK board in kernel, please check whether Silicon Revion Mark is A3 on the board and then apply for attached file for the test.

Issue Description When WM8960 is working as master mode and target sample rate is 44100Hz or 48000Hz, it's found no sound can be heard on some i.MX boards. Impact Software Baseline: Linux 4.1.15_2.0.0 release or previous versions. Impact Hardware Platform: MCIMX6UL-EVKB, MCIMX6ULL-EVK and MX7SABRE boards which have WM8960 as Audio Codec. Root Cause When WM8960 is working as master mode, if input MCLK is 12.288MHz and configure "PLLPRESCALE =2 and SYSCLKDIV[1:0] =1", wrong BCLK and LRCLK output maybe got on some boards. And then it causes no sound output. Solutions After change the WM8960 PLL setting from “PLLPRESCALE =2 and SYSCLKDIV[1:0] =1” to “PLLPRESCALE =1 and SYSCLKDIV[1:0] =2”, the failure parts can work normally. See attached patch. The formal patch is also included into the releases starting from L4.1.15_2.0.1. See http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx/meta-fsl-bsp-release.git/tree/imx/meta-bsp/recipes-kernel/linux/files?id=imx_4.1.15_2.0.1

The purpose of the document is to help customer setup development  environment of android BSP, The document includes the following contents: 1.Setup environment for compiling android BSP source code 2. Setup tftp and NFS environment for android development 3. Common Steps of Porting android  to customized borad ( L3.0.35 kernel) Note: (1) ubuntu version is suitable for 12.04/14.04/15.04 (2) android BSP version is 4.2.2 / 4.3 / 4.4.2  If cusotmer is using android5.1.1 / android 6.0 or above, The way of porting kernel should be focused on adjusting device tree. (3)Each andoid BSP has its own MFG tools version. User should pay attention to this, don't use wrong version of MFG Tools. NXP TIC team Weidong Sun
