LCDIF vs GPIO interrupt

[x10]

Hi, All

My design is imx28 + Linux/CE. Recently I find that if LCDIF is not initialized, the gpio interrupts can not work properly. I will continue to trace the problem to figure out what exactly happens to GPIO inteterrupts. I just wonder if anybody met thus a problem before. Thanks!

I found the problem!

The GPIO unit are assumed to use CLK_X which is XTAL = 24MHz, according to reference manual. But my experiment show that lacth of interrupt of GPIO is related with CLK_H instead of CLK_X. Therfore CLK_H's slow mode can not be enabled if the interrupt pulse is very short (about 83ns).

I can not figure out which clock ICOLL use in iMX28. Please let me know if anyone have information about those issue. Thanks!

It is found that calling LCDIFDisplayFrameBuffer(..) is critical to gpio interrupts.

BOOL LCDIFDisplayFrameBuffer(const void* pData)

{

    hw_lcdif_ctrl_t ctrl_reg;

    UINT32 physAddress;

    ctrl_reg.U = HW_LCDIF_CTRL_RD();

    physAddress = (UINT32) pData;

    if (ctrl_reg.B.DOTCLK_MODE || ctrl_reg.B.DVI_MODE) {

        HW_LCDIF_NEXT_BUF_WR(physAddress);

        if (ctrl_reg.B.RUN != 1)

            HW_LCDIF_CUR_BUF_WR(physAddress);

    } else {

        if (ctrl_reg.B.RUN == 1)

            while (HW_LCDIF_CTRL.B.RUN == 1) ;

        HW_LCDIF_CUR_BUF_WR(physAddress);

    } //if/else

    ctrl_reg.B.DATA_SELECT = DATA_MODE;

    ctrl_reg.B.WAIT_FOR_VSYNC_EDGE = ctrl_reg.B.VSYNC_MODE;

    ctrl_reg.B.RUN = 1;

    HW_LCDIF_CTRL_WR(ctrl_reg.U);

    return TRUE;

}

After calling LCDIFDisplayFrameBuffer(), gpio interrupts works fine.  If I just comment all the code in LCDIFDisplayFrameBuffer(), gpio interrupts fail! HW_LCDIF_CTRL register is NOT related with GPIO at all, incredibel!

The behavior of gpio interrupt is like X_CLK is slow down so that interrupt pulse (about 84ns) can not be detected. HW_CLKCTRL_XBUS.DIV is set to 1, therfore the X_CLK should be 24MHz.
