How to control the PMIC_ON_REQ pin by SW without ON/OFF pin for i.MX6

Dear All,

We connect i.MX6Solo PMIC_ON_REQ pin to PMIC(PF0100) PWRON pin.
i.MX6Solo ON/OFF pin isn't used.

We'd like to control i.MX6Solo PMIC_ON_REQ by software.
When PMIC was in the bad condition state, We'd like to reset PMIC.

Is it possible  to control PMIC_ON_REQ pin by only software, without ON/OFF pin?

If it is possible, would you teach the method?

Best Regards,
Yuuki

yuuki,

WDOG_B is to reset the PMIC, during the system in a real bad situation. And WDOG is triggerred.

If the power supply is wrong, it will also make the system wrong. it should trigger the WDOG.

If that time you still can write register, the system is not that bad. you can issue reset command to reboot system.

Hi Biyong,

the board did't connect WDOG_B. now system reboot by WDOG1 but hang in u-boot. So can trigeer reboot by PMIC(pu only?  PMIC_ON_REQ connected to PWRON.

The logic is clear. The ARM core wakeup , then issue the PMIC_ON_REQ. The the power turn to running stage. Then software is continue to run from the suspend point. The software is running on ARM. Could not use software to control the PMIC_ON_REQ.

The software control over the PMIC_ON_REQ signal can be done via the SNVS_LPCR[PK_EN] and SNVS_LPCR[PK_OVERRIDE] bits. For more information, please refer to the Section 57.9.10 "SNVS_LP Control Register (SNVS_LPCR)" of the i.MX6Dual/Quad Reference Manual Rev.2 document.


Have a great day,
Artur

Sorry, I havent get a correct way to control it. Maybe I dont know how to set the register in a true way. And I find that ,in our diffrent project,this signal one can be controlled ,and another cannot , but they are both based on MX6DL. So whats wrong with them, I havent get some explanation for these problem. Sorry
