====================== GPIOs on Astra Machina ====================== Astra Machina integrates many GPIOs to support its various functionalities. This guide will cover how to use GPIOs with Astra Machina and configure their functionality. On Astra Machina: - All of the GPIOs are multiplexed and can be configured for different functionality. - All GPIOs can be assigned interrupts. However, GPO (output only pins) cannot. Specific details on GPIOs can be found in the :doc:`../hw/index`. Accessing GPIOs from Userspace ============================== GPIOs can be accessed and configured using the ``libgpiod`` tools. These tools interface with the kernel's character device interface ``/dev/gpiochipN`` instead of the deprecated sysfs interface. To identify available GPIO chips and lines, use: :: root@sl1680:~# gpiodetect root@sl1680:~# gpioinfo GPIOs are accessed by chip and line offset, rather than the legacy global GPIO number. For example, GPIO[36] on the SL1680 corresponds to line offset 4 on its GPIO controller (see :ref:`gpio_mapping`). To read the value of GPIO[36]: :: root@sl1680:~# gpioget -c gpiochip1 4 "4"=active To configure GPIO[36] as an output and set it high. The command will hold the line high until it exits. :: root@sl1680:~# gpioset -c gpiochip1 4=1 To set GPIO[36] low. The command will hold the line low until it exits. :: root@sl1680:~# gpioset -c gpiochip1 4=0 The ``libgpiod`` tools support input and output. The ``gpioget`` program requests the line as an input whereas ``gpioset`` requests the line as an output. The line is released automatically when the command exits. .. note:: Unlike the legacy sysfs interface, the GPIO value is only driven while the process holds the line. When ``gpioset`` exits, the line is released and its state is no longer guaranteed. Run gpioset in the background to hold the line while working with gpios. Changing the Function of GPIOs ============================== GPIOs which are assigned to other functionality can be reconfigured to function as generic GPIOs. This is done by updating the device tree entries in the Linux Kernel. This requires modifying the ``linux-syna`` package using ``devtool``:: devtool modify linux-syna Modify the platform dts file located in ``build-sl1680/workspace/sources/linux-syna/arch/arm64/boot/dts/synaptics``. +-----------------+---------------+------------------+-----------------+-----------------+ | | SL1620 | SL1640 | SL1680 | SL261x | +-----------------+---------------+------------------+-----------------+-----------------+ | DTS | myna2-rdk.dts | platypus-rdk.dts | dolphin-rdk.dts | sl261*-rdk.dts | +-----------------+---------------+------------------+-----------------+-----------------+ First, identify where the GPIOs are currently configured in the dts file and disable them. Then reassign them to function as GPIOs. The following example will reassign GPIO[12] and GPIO[13] to function as GPIOs in SL1620. .. figure:: media/sl1620-i2c-dts-section.png .. figure:: media/sl1620-lcdc-dts-section.png Build the image with the updated device tree entries:: devtool build linux-syna devtool build-image astra-media .. _gpio_mapping: GPIO Mappings ============= Userspace GPIO IDs are assigned based on the gpiochip number which is assigned dynamically. Changes in the device configuration, such as updating the device tree (DTS), can cause the gpiochip number to change. Therefore, userspace GPIO IDs need to be calculated using the current gpiochip number assigned to the GPIO port. GPIOs 0 - 31: .. math:: \text{GPIO ID} = \text{gpiochip#} + \text{GPIO#} GPIOs 32 - 63: .. math:: \text{GPIO ID} = \text{gpiochip#} + (\text{GPIO#} - 32) GPIOs 64 - 95: .. math:: \text{GPIO ID} = \text{gpiochip#} + (\text{GPIO#} - 64) To do this calculation start by identifying the gpiochip number for the controller on which the GPIO is attached. The address will match the GPIO ports in the tables below. Find which gpiochip is associated with which GPIO port by running ``gpiodetect``. The output will contain the GPIO port address of the port associated with the gpiochip. .. figure:: media/sl1680-gpiochip-gpiodetect.png gpiochip numbers on SL1680 The following examples show how to calculate GPIO IDs for various GPIOs.
