Hi all,
I would like to use SPI in uboot, and only from command line for reading certain peripherals during the boot. So, I do not use any SPI flash or so, I just need raw SPI access to the bus. We have a similar board to the sabreauto based on i.MX6Q. I have the following pin configuration:
iomux_v3_cfg_t const ecspi1_pads[] = {
MX6_PAD_EIM_D16__ECSPI1_SCLK | MUX_PAD_CTRL(SPI_PAD_CTRL),
MX6_PAD_EIM_D17__ECSPI1_MISO | MUX_PAD_CTRL(SPI_PAD_CTRL),
MX6_PAD_EIM_D18__ECSPI1_MOSI | MUX_PAD_CTRL(SPI_PAD_CTRL),
MX6_PAD_DISP0_DAT23__ECSPI1_SS0 | MUX_PAD_CTRL(SPI_PAD_CTRL),
};
void setup_spi(void)
{
imx_iomux_v3_setup_multiple_pads(ecspi1_pads,
ARRAY_SIZE(ecspi1_pads));
}
In sabresd board file, they introduce GPIO as a SS. My question is, what is the proper way in my case. My slave is connected to the SS0 pin.
In configuration, UI have the following:
/* SPI Configs */
#define CONFIG_CMD_SPI
#define CONFIG_MXC_SPI
#define CONFIG_DEFAULT_SPI_BUS 1
#define CONFIG_DEFAULT_SPI_MODE (SPI_MODE_0 | SPI_CS_HIGH)
I could also not find the proper example within the existing source code. When I run sspi 0:0 ... I get only zeros as a response. When run sspi 1:0 the timeout is returned. In the first case I do not see any activity on the SPI bus. Do I have to use GPIO for SS or not an what would be the proper way. I use uboot 2015.04.
Hi Nemanja
what uboot used in the case, seems uboot definitions like:
CONFIG_CMD_SPI,CONFIG_DEFAULT_SPI_BUS were used for
older i.mx parts like i.MX51,53 but not for i.MX6 products.
In general this may be posted on uboot mail list
NXP uboot, link below
uboot-imx.git - Freescale i.MX u-boot Tree
uses standard spi-nor commands like: sf probe, sf write/read
spi related "define"s can be found in uboot/include/configs/mx6_common.h
uboot-imx.git - Freescale i.MX u-boot Tree
Best regards
igor
