Enable UART5 in 3.0.35 kernel

[frankmiller]

How do I enable uart5 in the 3.0.35 linux kernel build for an i.MX6Q SabreSD based design?

Thanks,

FM

You need to make the following modificationsto the IO Muxing and UART init:

static iomux_v3_cfg_t albany_mx6q_pads[] = {

...

  MX6Q_PAD_KEY_COL1__UART5_TXD,

  MX6Q_PAD_KEY_ROW1__UART5_RXD,

  MX6Q_PAD_KEY_COL4__UART5_RTS,

  MX6Q_PAD_KEY_ROW4__UART5_CTS,

...

}

static const struct imxuart_platform_data mx6_arm2_uart4_data __initconst = {

  .flags = IMXUART_HAVE_RTSCTS | IMXUART_SDMA,

  .dma_req_rx = MX6Q_DMA_REQ_UART5_RX,

  .dma_req_tx = MX6Q_DMA_REQ_UART5_TX,

};

static inline void mx6_arm2_init_uart(void)

{

  imx6q_add_imx_uart(2, NULL); // UART 3

  imx6q_add_imx_uart(4, &mx6_arm2_uart4_data); // UART 5

}

After that you may want to take a look at :

Hi Carlos,

Thanks for the reply.  As I mentioned, I made the IOMux pin changes you suggested and I've also done the following changes in board-mx6q_sabresd.c:

// <added>

static const struct imxuart_platform_data

  mx6_sabresd_uart4_data __initconst = {

  .flags = IMXUART_HAVE_RTSCTS | IMXUART_SDMA,

  .dma_req_rx = MX6Q_DMA_REQ_UART5_RX,

  .dma_req_tx = MX6Q_DMA_REQ_UART5_TX,

};

// </added>

static inline void mx6q_sabresd_init_uart(void)

{

        imx6q_add_imx_uart(0, NULL);

//      imx6q_add_imx_uart(2, NULL);

        imx6q_add_imx_uart(4, &mx6_sabresd_uart4_data);

//      imx6q_add_imx_uart(4, NULL);

//      imx6q_add_imx_uart(0, NULL);

}

This is the output I get when I try to boot this.  For some reason it doesnt appear to be applying these parameters to UART5.  The kernel boot hangs at this point as well.  Any thoughts?

imx-sdma imx-sdma: loaded firmware 1.1

imx-sdma imx-sdma: initialized

Serial: IMX driver

imx-uart.0: ttymxc0 at MMIO 0x2020000 (irq = 58) is a IMX

console [ttymxc0] enabled, bootconsole disabled

console [ttymxc0] enabled, bootconsole disabled

imx-uart.1: ttymxc1 at MMIO 0x2184200 (irq = 2) is a IMX

There is hardware conflicts between UART5 and pcie  in i.MX6Q SabreSD. So if you want to enable uart5 you can refer to the following hardware rework.Then for software patch, you can get our newest code  in our android branch. We have enable it in kernel to support BT in android.

I think you also need the below changes except IO Muxing and UART init in board-mx6q_sabresd.c,You can refer to what we changed in our new codes:

I was finally able to get this to work.  See my reply in the second thread that I somehow got started on this entitled UART5 getty under Ubuntu Linux   I give the source code diffs from the 3.0.35 kernel there.

Greetings and thanks for the reply!

I got the iomux changes but I'm using a SabreSD based reference design so where would I make the UART init changes that refer to in that build?

Thanks,

FM
