How to change the pin assigned to the USB OTG on the iMX6Quad ?

[xavgo]

Dear all,

I have a custom board connected to the Variscite VAR-DAT-MX6 SOM which usses a iMX6Quad pop.

I based my design on the kit provided by Variscite but there is a mistake on the routing of the USB_OTG signals. The USB_OTG_DP and USB_OTG_DN are inverted.

What I want to do is to compensate this mistake by changing the assignement if the pins for the USB_OTG controller. I checked the device tree files to see I can access the pin configuration but I didn't find anything.

Thank you to help me knowing if the pin reconfiguration is possible for the USB_OTG controller and if so how to do that?

Kind regards.

Hi xav

assignement of pins USB_OTG_DP and USB_OTG_DN can not be changed,

as they are analog pins and use special signalling according to usb specification.

Best regards

Hi Igor,

Thank you for your answer. Actually meanwhile you were answering I also had the information checking the mux possibilities with the NXP iomux tool.

To cope with this assignment error on my custom board, I switched the DP and DN at the filter level.

Now I am facing another issue trying to use an optical mouse plugged to USB_OTG port :

-          The iMX6 being switched of, I plug in the USB mouse to the port, I power on the system, after several USB identification tries (error -71 message displayed at each identification try) the mouse is finally recognised and functional,

-          If I unplug the mouse the system says that the USB peripheral has been removed, but if plug it in again, nothing happens (the mouse led blinks ~1s and then is off), no message regarding usb is prompt

-          Now, if I power on the iMX6 without any usb peripheral plugged and I plug it in only when the system has finished booting, I come back to the previous situation where nothing happens 1s blink, nothing prompt)

-          I probed the D+ D- signals with a scope. In the 1st case where the mouse is recognised when plugged before the iMX6 is powered on, I see the USB waveform but with weired voltage level. The USB standard says D+ and D- should be VH>2.8V and VL<0.3V. In my case VH takes 3 different levels : 2.7V 2.3V and 2V.

Do you have any idea of what happens (I tested the Linux which is on a SD card on a on the shelf (Variscite with same pinout as my custom board) demo kit and the USB works fine) ?

I was wondering if it is possible to configure the USB_OTG_DP & DN pads (slew rate, pull-up pull-down …)?

Thank you very much for your help !!
