SPI interface using /dev/mem

[vijeshreddy]

I am trying to configure SPI registers using /dev/mem in imx6. I am able to toggle an led by configuring the GPIO registers using /dev/mem but I am unable to configure SPI.

Following steps I have done.

1. using mmap i have mapped the address 0x200C000 and configured ECSPI2_CONREG for chip select 0.

2. using mmap i have mapped the address 0x20E0000 and configured  the IOMUX  PADS for SPI2

3. using mmap i have mapped the address 0x200C000 again and configured ECSPI2_CONREG. (loaded (ECSPI2_TXDATA)  and enaled xch bit in ECSPI2_CONREG.). I am transmitting continuously in a while loop.

4. I am unable to see any  transitions on CS signal and no clock is generated on SCLK.

Is the above configuration method correct ?? am I missing any thing in configuring the SPI , I have not configured any clock registers .

If any sample code for SPI initialization is available please provide.

Thanks in advance.

my code :

int spi_fd = open("/dev/mem",O_RDWR|O_SYNC);
        if(spi_fd < 0)
        {
             printf("Can't open /dev/mem\n");
             return 1;
        }
        spi_reg = (unsigned int *) mmap(0,  getpagesize(), PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, spi_fd, 0x200C000);

        if(spi_reg == NULL)        {
            printf("Can't mmap1\n");
            return 1;
        }

        for(i =0; i<10; i++)
        {
            printf("value = %x\n", spi_reg[i]);
        }

     /* Configuring SPI*/

        spi_reg[2] = 0 ;
        spi_reg[2] = 0x7000f1 ;    

  /* mapping IOMUX*/

        spi_reg = (unsigned int *) mmap(0,  (2*getpagesize()), PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, spi_fd, 0x20e0000);

        if(spi_reg == NULL)
        {
            printf("Can't mmap2\n");
            return 1;
        }

       spi_reg[517] = 0x02 ;
       spi_reg[516] = 0x02 ;
       spi_reg[518] = 0x02 ;
       spi_reg[519] = 0x02 ;

        spi_reg[158] = 0x02 ;
        spi_reg[159] = 0x02 ;
        spi_reg[160] = 0x02 ;
        spi_reg[161] = 0x02 ;

/*  Again mapping SPI registers */

        spi_reg = (unsigned int *) mmap(0,  getpagesize(), PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, spi_fd, 0x200c000);

        if(spi_reg == NULL)
        {
            printf("Can't mmap3\n");
            return 1;
        }

        spi_reg[1] = 0x21 ;
        spi_reg[9] = 0x21 ;
        spi_reg[2] = 0x7000f1 ;
        spi_reg[3] = 0xF00 ;

        while(1)
        {
            spi_reg[1] = 0x21 ;
            spi_reg[9] = 0x21 ;

/* xch enable */
            spi_reg[2] = 0x7000f5 ;
            sleep(1);
            spi_reg[6] = 0x80 ;
            printf("data sent\n");
        }

Hi vijesh

for simple sample code for SPI initialization one can look at Github SDK
https://github.com/backenklee/swp-report/tree/master/iMX6_Platform_SDK
and spi example in unit tests (folder /mxc_spi_test):

imx-test

Best regards
