GPIO toggle problem in LKM imx6

[vijeshreddy]

Hi,

I am trying to toggle an LED inside the init() function called during insmod of an LKM Module.  Following are the steps i followed. Step1: set the pin  mux to GPIO by changing the pin mux register using ioremap(), ioread32(),iowrite32(). step 2:  set the direction of gpio in gpio direction  register using ioremap(), ioread32(),iowrite32(). step 3:  toggle the gpio by writing to gpio data  register using ioremap(), ioread32(),iowrite32().  I am able to toggle the LED,but the LED is becoming OFF once the init() function is returned - It should be ON continuously as I have written high in data register before quitting. Source code attached for your reference. Please give your comments  Is there any problem with the way i am using the ioremap() function or any issues with my .dtb. Also please provide if you have any references of using ioremp() for imx6   My actual requirement is to configure the CPU registers of SPI/EIM modules using ioremap() - before that i wanted to ensure ioremap() working with GPIO.

Please give your comments.

Thanks in advance.

Hi vijesh

general answer one can find on linux documentation

How to acess the physical address from linux kernel space? - Stack Overflow 

for i.mx gpio manipulation examples one can look at linux documentation provided on
