PCA6416 Interruption - irq 79: nobody cared

[khang_letruong1]

Dear All,

I would like to relaunch my previous question with more implementation detail. The purpose is configuring the IO expander PCA6416 on the iMX8M-EVK so that it propagates the interrupt signal from the one of Invensens IMUs  (actually I'm using MPU9250). For that, I modified the fsl-imx8mm-evk.dts as below :

...

&iomuxc {
        pinctrl-names = "default";

        imx8mm-evk {

               ...

                pinctrl_ioexp_int: ioexpint_iogrp {
                        fsl,pins = <
                                MX8MM_IOMUXC_GPIO1_IO12_GPIO1_IO12              0x19
                        >;
                };
        };
};

...

...

&i2c3 {
        clock-frequency = <100000>;
        pinctrl-names = "default";
        pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_i2c3>;
        status = "okay";

        pca6416: gpio@20 {
                compatible = "ti,tca6416";
                reg = <0x20>;
                gpio-controller;
                #gpio-cells = <2>;
                interrupt-controller;
                #interrupt-cells = <2>;
                interrupt-parent = <&gpio1>;
                interrupts = <12 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING>;
                status = "okay";
                ngpios = <16>;

                pinctrl-names = "default";
                pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_ioexp_int>;

       ...

        inv-mpu6050@68 {
                compatible = "invensense,mpu6050";
                reg = <0x68>;
                interrupt-parent = <&pca6416>;
                interrupts = <8 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING>; /* MPU6050's INT will be connected to EXP_IO8 */
                mount-matrix =  "-0.984807753012208",  /* x0 */
                                "0",                   /* y0 */
                                "-0.173648177666930",  /* z0 */
                                "0",                   /* x1 */
                                "-1",                  /* y1 */
                                "0",                   /* z1 */
                                "-0.173648177666930",  /* x2 */
                                "0",                   /* y2 */
                                "0.984807753012208";   /* z2 */
        };
};

With above modification, I got following error during system boot :

[    3.251910] inv-mpu6050-i2c 2-0068: whoami mismatch got 0x71 (MPU9250)expected 0x68 (MPU6050)

After a while, I got following trace of "irq 79: nobody cared" :

I then applied the following patch as recommendation from Raspberry forum :

The above patch for could help to bypass "probe of 2-0068 failed with error -22" :

[    3.254558] inv-mpu6050-i2c 2-0068: whoami mismatch got 0x71 (MPU9250)expected 0x68 (MPU6050)
[    3.403921] i2c i2c-2: Added multiplexed i2c bus 4

But the trace of "irq 79: nobody cared" still persisted.

It would be really appreciated if anybody can help to confirm that my expectation to propagate external interrupt signal via PCA6416 is feasible and possibly to point out the problem in my implementation, please ?

 Thank you in advance,

Hi Khang

if you are using iMX8M-EVK then fsl-imx8mm-evk.dts should not be used

as it is for other board i.MX8M Mini EVK.

For PCA6416 one can look at examples:

Dear igorpadykov‌,

I'm sorry, but I meant i.MX8M Mini EVK is my board. By the way, I'd consulted many time the link you mentioned but I havent found how to tell which EXP_GPIO of PCA6416 should I connect the IMU's INT signal so that it is propagated to the iMX8M SoC (GPIO1.12 explicitly).  Am I missing something from that link?

Thanks and best regards,

Khang

Hi Khang

you can try to debug it

Nobody cared interrupt 

also as this is general linux issue it may be posted on

kernel mail list

Majordomo Lists at VGER.KERNEL.ORG
