6. GPIO¶
6.1. Introduction¶
GPIO (General-Purpose Input/Output) is a General pin that can be dynamically configured and controlled during software operation.The initial state of all GPIOs after power-on is input mode, which can be set as pull-up or pull-down or interrupt pin by software. The driving intensity is programmable, and the core of which is to fill the methods and parameters of GPIO bank and register them in the kernel by calling gpiochip_add.
The AIO-3588SJD4 development board leads out a row of extended GPIO ports for user debugging and development in order to facilitate user development and use. The corresponding pins are as follows:
This article uses the two general GPIO ports GPIO1_B0 and GPIO1_A4 as examples to write a simple operation GPIO port driver. The path in the SDK is:
kernel-5.10/drivers/gpio/gpio-firefly.c
The following takes this driver as an example to introduce the operation of GPIO.
6.2. GPIO Pin to calculate¶
AIO-3588SJD4 have 5 GPIO bank：GPIO0~GPIO4，Each group was numbered A0~A7, B0~B7, C0~C7, and D0~D7, the following formulas are often used to calculate GPIO Pin:
GPIO pin calculation formula：pin = bank * 32 + number
GPIO group number calculation formula：number = group * 8 + X
For example, if we want to calculate GPIO Pin GPIO1_B0, we could refer to the following step:
bank = 1; //GPIO1_B0 => 1, bank ∈ [0,4]
group = 3; //GPIO1_B0 => 1, group ∈ {(A=0), (B=1), (C=2), (D=3)}
X = 0; //GPIO1_B0 => 0, X ∈ [0,7]
number = group * 8 + X = 1 * 8 + 0 = 8
pin = bank*32 + number= 1 * 32 + 8 = 40;
GPIO1_B0 property of dts is described as :<&gpio1 8 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>, by kernel-5.10/include/dt-bindings/pinctrl/rockchip.h macro definition ，GPIO1_B0 can also be described as :<&gpio1 RK_PB0 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>。
#define RK_PA0 0
#define RK_PA1 1
#define RK_PA2 2
#define RK_PA3 3
#define RK_PA4 4
#define RK_PA5 5
#define RK_PA6 6
#define RK_PA7 7
#define RK_PB0 8
#define RK_PB1 9
#define RK_PB2 10
#define RK_PB3 11
......
When GPIO1_D0 pin is not reused by other peripherals, we can export this pin to use
:/ # ls /sys/class/gpio/
export gpiochip128 gpiochip32 gpiochip64 unexport
gpiochip0 gpiochip200 gpiochip509 gpiochip96
:/ # echo 56 > /sys/class/gpio/export
:/ # ls /sys/class/gpio/
export gpiochip0 gpiochip200 gpiochip509 gpiochip96
gpio56 gpiochip128 gpiochip32 gpiochip64 unexport
:/ # ls /sys/class/gpio/gpio56
active_low device direction edge power subsystem uevent value
:/ # cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio56/direction
in
:/ # cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio56/value

6.3. input Output¶
First add the resource description of the driver in the DTS file:
kernel-5.10/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3588-firefly-demo.dtsi
/{
gpio_demo: gpio_demo{
compatible = "firefly,rk3588-gpio";
status = "okay";
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&pin36_40_gpio>;
firefly-gpio = <&gpio1 RK_PB0 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; /*GPIO1_B0*/
firefly-irq-gpio = <&gpio1 RK_PA4 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING>; /*GPIO1_A4*/
};
};
&pinctrl {
gpio{
pin36_40_gpio: pin36_40_gpio{
rockchip,pins =
<1 RK_PB0 0 &pcfg_pull_none>,
<1 RK_PA4 0 &pcfg_pull_none>;
};
};
};
Here defines a pin as a general output and input port:
firefly-gpio GPIO1_B0
GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH means high level is active, if you want low level to be active, you can change it to: GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW, this attribute will be read by the driver.
Then analyze the resources added by DTS in the probe function, the code is as follows:
static int firefly_gpio_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
int ret;
int gpio;
enum of_gpio_flags flag;
struct firefly_gpio_info *gpio_info;
struct device_node *firefly_gpio_node = pdev->dev.of_node;
printk("Firefly GPIO Test Program Probe\n");
gpio_info = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev,sizeof(struct firefly_gpio_info *), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!gpio_info) {
return -ENOMEM;
}
gpio = of_get_named_gpio_flags(firefly_gpio_node, "firefly-gpio", 0, &flag);
if (!gpio_is_valid(gpio)) {
printk("firefly-gpio: %d is invalid\n", gpio); return -ENODEV;
}
if (gpio_request(gpio, "firefly-gpio")) {
printk("gpio %d request failed!\n", gpio);
gpio_free(gpio);
return -ENODEV;
}
gpio_info->firefly_gpio = gpio;
gpio_info->gpio_enable_value = (flag == OF_GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW) ? 0:1;
gpio_direction_output(gpio_info->firefly_gpio, gpio_info->gpio_enable_value);
printk("Firefly gpio putout\n");
...
}
of_get_named_gpio_flags reads the GPIO configuration numbers and flags of firefly-gpio and firefly-irq-gpio from the device tree, gpio_is_valid judges whether the GPIO number is valid, and gpio_request applies to occupy the GPIO. If there is an error in the initialization process, you need to call gpio_free to release the previously applied and successful GPIO. Call gpio_direction_output in the driver to set the output high or low level. Here the default output is the active level GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH obtained from DTS, which is high level. If the drive works normally, you can use a multimeter to measure the corresponding The pin should be high. In practice, if you want to read GPIO, you need to set it to input mode first, and then read the value:
int val;
gpio_direction_input(your_gpio);
val = gpio_get_value(your_gpio);
The following are commonly used GPIO API definitions:
#include <linux/gpio.h>
#include <linux/of_gpio.h>
enum of_gpio_flags {
OF_GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW = 0x1,
};
int of_get_named_gpio_flags(struct device_node *np, const char *propname,
int index, enum of_gpio_flags *flags);
int gpio_is_valid(int gpio);
int gpio_request(unsigned gpio, const char *label);
void gpio_free(unsigned gpio);
int gpio_direction_input(int gpio);
int gpio_direction_output(int gpio, int v);
6.4. Interrupt¶
The Firefly example program also contains an interrupt pin. The interrupt usage of the GPIO port is similar to the input and output of GPIO. First, add the resource description of the driver in the DTS file:
kernel/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3588-firefly-demo.dtsi
gpio {
compatible = "firefly-gpio";
firefly-irq-gpio = <&gpio1 RK_PD1 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING>; /* GPIO1_D1 */
};
IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING indicates that the interrupt is triggered by the rising edge, and the interrupt function can be triggered when the pin receives the rising edge signal.This can also be configured as follows：
IRQ_TYPE_NONE //Default value, no defined interrupt trigger type
IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING //Rising edge trigger
IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING //Falling edge trigger
IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_BOTH //Trigger on both rising and falling edges
IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH //High level trigger
IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW //Low level trigger
Then analyze the resources added by DTS in the probe function, and then apply for interrupted registration, the code is as follows:
static int firefly_gpio_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
int ret;
int gpio;
enum of_gpio_flags flag;
struct firefly_gpio_info *gpio_info;
struct device_node *firefly_gpio_node = pdev->dev.of_node;
...
gpio_info->firefly_irq_gpio = gpio;
gpio_info->firefly_irq_mode = flag;
gpio_info->firefly_irq = gpio_to_irq(gpio_info->firefly_irq_gpio);
if (gpio_info->firefly_irq)
{
if (gpio_request(gpio, "firefly-irq-gpio"))
{
dev_err(&pdev->dev, "firefly-irq-gpio: %d request failed!\n", gpio);
gpio_free(gpio);
return IRQ_NONE;
}
ret = request_irq(gpio_info->firefly_irq, firefly_gpio_irq,
flag, "firefly-gpio", gpio_info);
if (ret != 0)
{
free_irq(gpio_info->firefly_irq, gpio_info);
dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Failed to request IRQ: %d\n", ret);
}
}
printk("Firefly irq gpio finish \n");
return 0;
}
static irqreturn_t firefly_gpio_irq(int irq, void *dev_id) //interrupt function
{
printk("Enter firefly gpio irq test program!\n");
return IRQ_HANDLED;
}
Call gpio_to_irq to convert the PIN value of the GPIO to the corresponding IRQ value, call gpio_request to apply for the IO port, call request_irq to apply for an interrupt, if it fails, call free_irq to release, in this function gpio_info-firefly_irq Is the hardware interrupt number to be applied for, firefly_gpio_irq is the interrupt function, gpio_info->firefly_irq_mode is the attribute of interrupt processing, firefly-gpio is the name of the device driver, and gpio_info is the device structure of the device. It is used when registering shared interrupts.
6.5. Reuse¶
For reference only, the actual hardware interfaces prevail.
In addition to general input/output and interrupt functions, GPIO port may also have other reuse functions, such as GPIO1_D0, which has the following functions:
| func0 | func1 | func2 | func3 | func4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GPIO1_D0 | I2S0_SDO1 | I2C7_SCL_M0 | UART6_TX_M2 | SPI1_MISO_M2 |
When using GPIO port, it is necessary to pay attention to whether it is reused for other functions. Here, you can use IO command to check the IOMUX to judge whether it is reused or not. It is explained in the section of Debugging Methods, but it will not be explained here. If GPIO1_D0 and GPIO1_D1 are found to be reused as I2C1_SDA through IO command, the I2C disabled shall be removed when GPIO1_D0 and GPIO1_D1 are used as GPIO or other functions.
&i2c7 {
status = "disabled";
};
gpio_demo: gpio_demo {
status = "okay";
compatible = "firefly,rk3588-gpio";
firefly-gpio = <&gpio1 24 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; /* GPIO1_D0 */
firefly-irq-gpio = <&gpio1 25 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING>; /* GPIO1_D1 */
};
Note: This GPIO1_D0 is for example only and is not recommended for practical use
The above mentioned changes on DTS, but how do you switch functions at run time?The following take I2C7_M0 as an example for a simple introduction, detailed introduction can be referred to RKDocs/common/PIN-Ctrl/Rockchip-Developer-Guide-Linux-Pin-Ctrl-CN.pdf.
According to the specification table, the functions of I2C7_SDA_M0 and I2C7_SCL_M0 are defined as follows:
| Pad# | func0 | func1 | func2 | func3 | func4 | func5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| I2C7_SCL_M0/GPIO1_D0 | GPIO1_D0 | UART6_TX_M2 | SPI1_MISO_M2 | I2S0_SDO1 | ||
| I2C7_SDA_M0/GPIO1_D1 | GPIO1_D1 | UART6_RX_M2 | SPI1_MOSI_M2 | I2S0_SDO2 | I2S0_SDI3 | PDM0_SDI1_M0 |
In kernel/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3588s.dtsi there are:
i2c7: i2c@fec90000 {
compatible = "rockchip,rk3588-i2c", "rockchip,rk3399-i2c";
reg = <0x0 0xfec90000 0x0 0x1000>;
clocks = <&cru CLK_I2C7>, <&cru PCLK_I2C7>;
clock-names = "i2c", "pclk";
interrupts = <GIC_SPI 324 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&i2c7m0_xfer>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
status = "disabled";
};
Related to multiplexing control is the attribute at the beginning of pinctrl-:
pinctrl-names defines a list of state names: default (i2c function) and gpio two states.
pinctrl-0 defines the pinctrl that needs to be set in state 0 (ie default): &i2c4m0_xfer
pinctrl-1 defines the pinctrl that needs to be set in state 1 (i.e. gpio): &i2c4mo_gpio
These pinctrls are defined in kernel/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3588-pinctrl.dtsi as follows:
pinctrl: pinctrl {
compatible = "rockchip,rk3588-pinctrl";
rockchip,grf = <&ioc>;
#address-cells = <2>;
#size-cells = <2>;
ranges;
...
};
I2c7 is defined in kernel-5.10/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3588s-pinctrl.dtsi
i2c7 {
/omit-if-no-ref/
i2c7m0_xfer: i2c7m0-xfer {
rockchip,pins =
/* i2c7_scl_m0 */
<1 RK_PD0 9 &pcfg_pull_none_smt>,
/* i2c7_sda_m0 */
<1 RK_PD1 9 &pcfg_pull_none_smt>;
};
};
RK_FUNC_GPIO is defined in kernel-5.10/include/dt-bindings/pinctrl/rockchip.h,Here they are simply written as 0 and 1：
#define RK_FUNC_GPIO 0
After knowing the above definition of i2c7, click kernel-5.10/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3588-firefly-demo.dtsi and add GPIO resources for i2c7 nodes in dtsi
&i2c7 {
status = "okay";
pinctrl-names = "default","i2c7_gpio";
pinctrl-1 = <&i2c7m0_gpio>;
gpios = <&gpio1 RK_PD0 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>,<&gpio1 RK_PD1 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
};
&pinctrl {
i2c7{
/omit-if-no-ref/
i2c7m0_gpio: i2c7m0-gpio{
rockchip,pins =
/* i2c7_gpio1_d0 */
<1 RK_PD0 0 &pcfg_pull_none>,
/* i2c7_gpio1_d1 */
<1 RK_PD1 0 &pcfg_pull_none>;
};
};
};
The I2C driver registration process is as follows:
rk3x_i2c_driver_init
platform_driver_register
driver_register
bus_add_driver
driver_attach
bus_for_each_dev
__driver_attach
device_driver_attach
driver_probe_device
really_probe
pinctrl_bind_pins
pinctrl_select_state
pinctrl_select_state is a function to select pinctrl in dts.
6.6. Debugging method¶
6.6.1. GPIO debug interface¶
The purpose of the Debugfs file system is to provide developers with more kernel data to facilitate debugging. Here GPIO debugging can also use the Debugfs file system to get more kernel information. The interface of GPIO in the Debugfs file system is /sys/kernel/debug/gpio, the information of this interface can be read like this:
console:/ $ cat sys/kernel/debug/gpio
gpiochip0: GPIOs 0-31, parent: platform/fd8a0000.gpio, gpio0:
gpio-0 ( |bt_default_wake_host) in lo
gpio-21 ( |bt_default_wake ) in lo
gpio-22 ( |bt_default_reset ) out lo
gpiochip1: GPIOs 32-63, parent: platform/fec20000.gpio, gpio1:
gpio-34 ( |bt_default_rts ) in hi
gpio-36 ( |hpd ) in lo
gpio-43 ( |:power ) out hi
gpio-44 ( |reset ) out hi
gpio-52 ( |hp-det ) in hi ACTIVE LOW
gpio-56 ( |firefly-gpio ) out hi
gpio-57 ( |firefly-irq-gpio ) in hi
gpio-61 ( |hdmirx-det ) in hi ACTIVE LOW
...
From the information read, the kernel lists the current status of GPIO. Taking gpio1 group as an example, gpio-56 (gpio1_d0) outputs high level (out HI).
6.6.2. pinmux-pins¶
Command:
:/ # cat /d/pinctrl/pinctrl-rockchip-pinctrl/pinmux-pins
Result:
Pinmux settings per pin
Format: pin (name): mux_owner gpio_owner hog?
pin 0 (gpio0-0): wireless-bluetooth gpio0:0 function wireless-bluetooth group bt-irq-gpio
pin 1 (gpio0-1): (MUX UNCLAIMED) (GPIO UNCLAIMED)
pin 2 (gpio0-2): (MUX UNCLAIMED) (GPIO UNCLAIMED)
pin 3 (gpio0-3): (MUX UNCLAIMED) (GPIO UNCLAIMED)
pin 4 (gpio0-4): fe2c0000.mmc (GPIO UNCLAIMED) function sdmmc group sdmmc-det
...
interpret： The column “pin 0” indicates the pin number, `gpio0-0 “indicates the GPIO group number, and the following list” MUX unclaimed “indicates the owner of the data selector.
Where ‘MUX unclaimed’ means that the pin has not been controlled by the node using pinctrl. For example, node i2c7 is enabled,
It has the pinctrl-0 attribute. The pin 56 function is modified. If it is multiplexed to I2C, the pin information will change to pin 56 (gpio1-24): fec90000.i2c (GPIO UNCLAIMED) function i2c7 group i2c7m0-xfer, which is configured by the node with address 0xfec90000 and name I2C using pinctrl. The value of pinctrl is i2cm0-xfer.
“GPIO UNCLAIMED” ndicates that the pin is used by GPIO that has not been registered. We use the above gpio_demo example to register this pin. The pin information will become “gpio_demo gpio1:56 function gpio group pin56_57_gpio”, which is called gpio_demo node is configured with pinctrl. The value of pinctrl is pin56_57_gpio, this pin is also applied as GPIO.
6.7. FAQs¶
6.7.1. Q1: How to switch the MUX value of PIN to normal GPIO?¶
A1: When using GPIO request, the MUX value of the PIN will be forcibly switched to GPIO, so when using the PIN pin as a GPIO function, make sure that the PIN pin is not used by other modules.
6.7.2. Q2: Why is the value I read out with the IO instruction is 0x00000000?¶
A2: If you use the IO command to read the register of a GPIO, the value read is abnormal, such as 0x00000000 or 0xffffffff, etc., please confirm whether the CLK of the GPIO is turned off. The CLK of the GPIO is controlled by the CRU. You can read the datasheet Next, use the CRU_CLKGATE_CON* register to check whether the CLK is turned on. If it is not turned on, you can use the io command to set the corresponding register to turn on the corresponding CLK. After turning on the CLK, you should be able to read the correct register value.
6.7.3. Q3: How to check if the voltage of the PIN pin is wrong?¶
A3: When measuring the voltage of the PIN pin is incorrect, if external factors are excluded, you can confirm whether the IO voltage source where the PIN is located is correct and whether the IO-Domain configuration is correct.
6.7.4. Q4: What is the difference between gpio_set_value() and gpio_direction_output()?¶
A4: If you do not dynamically switch input and output when using this GPIO, it is recommended to set the GPIO output direction at the beginning, and use the gpio_set_value() interface when pulling it up and pulling it down later. It is not recommended to use gpio_direction_output() because of the gpio_direction_output interface There is a mutex lock inside, there will be an error exception when calling the interrupt context, and compared to gpio_set_value, gpio_direction_output does more and is wasteful.
