Having difficulty getting 1PPS input on a GPIO1_IO08 tp work. My device tree fragments are:

pinctrl@30330000 {
   compatible = "fsl,imx8mm-iomuxc";
   reg = <0x0 0x30330000 0x0 0x10000>;
   pinctrl-names = "default";
   pinctrl-0 = <0x13>;

   

  ucm-imx8m-mini {

   ppsgrp {

      //
      fsl,pins = <MX8MM_IOMUXC_GPIO1_IO08_GPIO1_IO8 0x19>;
      linux,phandle = <0x60>;
      phandle = <0x60>;
   };

... etc ...

gpio@30200000 {
compatible = "fsl,imx8mm-gpio", "fsl,imx35-gpio";
reg = <0x0 0x30200000 0x0 0x10000>;
interrupts = <0x0 0x40 0x4 0x0 0x41 0x4>;
gpio-controller;
#gpio-cells = <0x2>;
interrupt-controller;
#interrupt-cells = <0x2>;
linux,phandle = <0x21>;
phandle = <0x21>;
};

... etc ...

pps {
compatible = "pps-gpio";
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <0x60>;
input-gpios = <0x21 0x08 0x01>;
assert-rising-edge;
status = "okay";
};

I have also enabled CONFIG_PPS=y and CONFIG_PPS_CLIENT_GPIO=m in the kernel config. I've compiled pps-gpio.ko against the same kernel version and .config and place it in the /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/ directory.

However during the boot process I ge the following messages:

[ 6.072774] pps-gpio pps: failed to get GPIO from device tree
[ 6.078646] pps-gpio: probe of pps failed with error -2

It would seem pretty clear that the reference to which GPIO pin to use is incorrectly configured but I can't see a problem at all. The gpios=<0x21 0x08 0x00>; should correctly point to the gpiochip0 controller pin 8 and the pinctrl fragment should select the gpio function.

There must be some core concept I'm missing here because as far as I can tell I'm doing what //linux/Documentaion/devicetree/bindings/pps/pps.txt is saying to do.

For anyone looking to do this we did get it working.

I think some of the problems we had was the yocto build environment not being ideal. So we switched to a VM using an offically supported version of ubuntu.

The solution isn't far off from my OP:

// add to pinctrl

ppsgrp {

   fsl,pins = <MX8MM_IOMUXC_GPIO1_IO08_GPIO1_IO8 0x19>;

};

// add to root

pps {
   compatible = "pps-gpio";
   pinctrl-names = "default";
   pinctrl-0 = <&ppsgrp>;
   gpios = <&gpio1 8 0>;
   status = "okay";
};

// ensure following set in kernel config

CONFIG_PPS=y

CONFIG_PPS_CLIENT_GPIO=m

Hi Aaron

I am afraid PPS drivers are not supported in nxp bsps, supported

are described in linux documentation (Release Notes, Linux Manual)

on link i.MX Software and Development Tools | NXP 

One can try to debug it using description pps drivers on

PPS - Pulse Per Second — The Linux Kernel documentation 

Best regards
igor

Igor,

So are you saying that instead of trying to figure out why my imx8mm evk 1pps signal isn't working with ptp4l very well, that I should be looking at linuxPPS instead???

Regards,

Brian
