LAN966x GPIO

SoC Resources

LAN966x GPIO controller supports 78 gpio pins. Most of the GPIO pins have alternate functions which will be handled by linux driver.

Kernel configurations

Following kernel config options should be enabled to use LAN966x GPIO Controller:

  • CONFIG_PINCTRL_OCELOT - GPIO controller config option.

Devicetree Configuration

To use GPIO pins of a specific peripheral, configure following properties in device tree:

  • compatible string must be set to microchip,lan966x-pinctrl.

  • reg property must be set with <0xe2004064 0xb4> and <0xe2010024 0x138>.

  • gpio-controller property must be added.

  • #gpio-cells property must be set to 2

  • gpio-ranges property must be set to <&gpio 0 0 78>

  • interrupts property must be set with GPIO block interrupt details as <GIC_SPI 17 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>.

Peripheral Shared Peripheral Interrupt CPU INTR

17
Note

Shared peripheral interrupt lines start at index ID32. So, CPU INTR must be calculated as [Shared peripheral interrupt number - 32].

  • pins must be set with list of GPIO pins required. For example for mcan0, it should be set as "GPIO_35", "GPIO_36".

  • function must be set to function name corresponding to GPIO pins and the peripheral we are trying to enable. Refer below table for function names:

Example

Following example shows how a GPIO controller should be defined in DT to enable GPIO pins for eMMC interface:

dtsi file:

gpio: pinctrl@e2004070 {
	compatible = "microchip,lan966x-pinctrl";
	reg = <GCB_GPIO_ADDR GCB_GPIO_SIZE>,
	    <CHIP_TOP_GPIO_CFG_ADDR CHIP_TOP_GPIO_CFG_SIZE>;
	gpio-controller;
	#gpio-cells = <2>;
	gpio-ranges = <&gpio 0 0 78>;
	interrupt-controller;
	interrupts = <GIC_SPI 17 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
	#interrupt-cells = <2>;

	emmc_sd_pins: emmc-sd-pins {
		/* eMMC_SD - CMD, CLK, D0, D1, D2, D3, RSTN */
		pins = "GPIO_67", "GPIO_68", "GPIO_69", "GPIO_70",
		       "GPIO_71", "GPIO_72", "GPIO_77";
		function = "emmc_sd";
	};

	emmc_pins: emmc-pins {
		/* eMMC - D4, D5, D6, D7 */
		pins = "GPIO_73", "GPIO_74", "GPIO_75", "GPIO_76";
		function = "emmc";
	};
};

dts file changes:

&sdmmc0 {
        bus-width = <8>;
        cap-mmc-highspeed;
        cap-mmc-hw-reset;
        non-removable;
        pinctrl-0 = <&emmc_sd_pins>, <&emmc_pins>;
        pinctrl-names = "default";
        no-1-8-v;
        tx-phase = <0>; /* 180 degrees phase shift */
        status = "okay";
};

Confirm instances are created

  • Check if pinctrl driver is registered and respective peripheral is up or not.

Checking if the pinctrl driver is registered and respective peripheral(here emmc with above dt example) is created or not.

Configuring GPIO pin using Sysfs interface

Mounting Sysfs

The root file system being used may not have sysfs mounted and it cannot be used if it’s not mounted. The directory /sys is also needed to mount the sysfs on. The root file system must be writable to do the following steps.

Identify the GPIO chips

Use command ls /sys/class/gpio/ to list all the gpio chips.

Steps to configure a GPIO pin

  • Export a GPIO pin using command echo X > /sys/class/gpio/export.

  • Read direction and value from GPIO pin using command cat /sys/class/gpio/gpioX/direction for direction and cat /sys/class/gpio/gpioX/value for value, where X is pin number.

  • If direction of a pin is out, we can write 0 or 1 to value file of pin and also can read its value.

  • If direction of a pin is in, we can only read its value but cannot write to it, we would get an error because it is not valid to set the value of an input pin.

  • Unexport a GPIO pin using command echo X > /sys/class/gpio/unexport.

Following example configures GPIO pin 51(physical pin number 32) and validates voltage on pin using a multimeter:

# ls /sys/class/gpio/
export     gpiochip0  unexport

Export GPIO pin 51:

# echo 51 > /sys/class/gpio/export
# ls /sys/class/gpio/
export     gpio51     gpiochip0  unexport

Check default direction and value:

# cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio51/value
1
#
# cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio51/direction
in
#

Now, measure voltage on physical pin number 32 and you should see voltage of approximately 3.3v.

Change direction of GPIO pin 51 to out and set value to zero:

# echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio51/direction
#
#
# cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio51/value
0
#

Again measure voltage on physical pin number 32 and you should see voltage close to zero.
