imx.6 GPIO

[akea]

Hi,

I am using sysfs(linux L3.0.15_12.04.01_ER_source)  to set a GPIO as an output with the following commands:

echo 163 > /sys/class/gpio/export

echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio163/direction

echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio163/value

I measured the output voltage and it works correctly. The problem is that when I do cat "/sys/class/gpio/gpio163/value". It always returns 0. Any ideas?

I was digging through the gpio driver and the gpio value is read from  GPIO_PSR. If I read GPIOX_PSR with memtool also returns 0. Reading GPIO_DR returns the correct value. I am new to the imx.6 family. Is this normal?

Thanks,

hi, Ake,

It is normal.

For imx6 GPIO function：

GPIO Read Mode：Read value from data register/pad status register（PSR）

GPIO Write Mode：Write value to data register (GPIO_DR).

If GDIR[n] is set and IOMUXC input mode is GPIO, then reading DR[n] returns the contents of DR[n].

If GDIR[n] is cleared and IOMUXC input mode is GPIO, then reading DR[n] returns the corresponding input signal‘s value.

Thanks，

Andy

Hi Fugang,

I want change mode of GPIO1 from ESAI to GPIO,

how we can write/read value of IOMUXC_SW_MUX_CTL_PAD_GPIO01 register by software or terminal. i'm using I.MX6Q

Thanks and regard,

Hi,

I am using iMX6SLEVK.

I want to use MX6SL_PAD_EPDC_D7_GPIO_1_14 as GPIO.

I am also using the above method which Antonio has mentioned, but I am not seeing any voltage on this pin (SOC Pin C15).

Can you please let me know how to configure this as output.

I have even tried to add this pin to the arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6sl-evk.dts - hoggrp and have tried with values 0x80000000 and 0x1b0b0, but still no use.

Please do let me know if I need to check anything else.

Thanks,
Sunny

Hi,

I am able to configure the GPIO from userspace from /sys/class/gpio.

I did changes in the arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6sl-evk.dts file.

I added the below lines in the hoggrp for iomuxc group:

     MX6SL_PAD_EPDC_D7__GPIO1_IO14     0x110b0

     MX6SL_PAD_EPDC_D6__GPIO1_IO13     0x110b0

But can anybody please let me know, what the above values mean. Because I tried to use this pins with the values -->0x1b0b0 and 0x80000000, but it was not working for me.

Then I referred to the BSP Porting Guide for iMX6SL and there it is mentioned that the values corresponds to Hysteresis, Pull up/Pull down, etc but I am not able to see exact bit mappings for the above values.

It would be great if someone can point me out to the values.

Thanks,

Sunny

Hello,

You can use the IO Mux tool to quickly visualize what each mapping represents.

From what I can see, going from 0x1b0b0 to 0x110b0 is actually 100k pull up to 100k pull down and pull mode to keep mode.
