Enable GPIO Pin on Colibri T30 device tree (Mainline kernel 6.6)

SimonG · January 24, 2024, 3:54pm

Hello,

I’m currently trying to implement the most recent LTS-Kernel int out BSP for the Colibri T30. I’m struggling with the GPIOs currently, to do the correct configuration in the device tree (I think). For now I’m focused on SODIMM 30 (gpiochip 0, offset 6, Tegra Pin A.06), which should act as a GPIO output (Turns an LED on/off).

(We need to setup more GPIO Pins, but before I contiue, I want to make sure I can get this one configured & working properly)

When using the “gpioset 0 6=1/0” command, nothing happens, the output isn’t changed.

From our DT:

pinmux@70000868 {
			pinctrl-names = "default";
			pinctrl-0 = <&state_default>;

			state_default: pinmux {
				/* Colibri Pin 30 LED */
				sdmmc3-clk-pa6 {
					nvidia,pins = "sdmmc3_clk_pa6";
					nvidia,function = "sdmmc3"; //What function to use here for GPIO output functionallity?
					nvidia,pull = <TEGRA_PIN_PULL_UP>;
					nvidia,tristate = <TEGRA_PIN_DISABLE>;
					nvidia,enable-input = <TEGRA_PIN_DISABLE>;
				};
			};
	};

I’m not sure if that configuration is correct to make that pin work as GPIO though, and I can hardly find references for possible functions. Closest I found (aside from Cilobro T30 datasheet) was probably this:

When I use the GPIO hogging mechanism, I can set permanent on/off states, but we need to be able to change this during runtime, which is not possible in this case, but this makes it clear that the hardware itself is working.

test1 {// this works but only static output    
    gpio-hog;
    gpios = <TEGRA_GPIO(A, 6) GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
    output-high;
    line-name = "SODIMM_30_LED";
};

What am I doing wrong here? Any ideas what I need to change?
If further Information is needed, let me know.

I’m aware that this configuration might not be officially supported, but we need a solution regardless.

Hi @SimonG !

As you might already know, Toradex does not support newer kernels for our Tegra modules (Colibri and Apalis) since they are EOL as well as the old BSP 2.8, which is also EOL.

Having said that, we do not have experience with EOL modules on newer kernels.

But quickly checking the Technical Reference Manual of NVIDIA Tegra 3, seems like the pinmuxing information you need is available in a Excel spreadsheet document called Tegra 3 PinMux (DA-05692). I could not find it online, but you should be able to contact NVIDIA to help you with it.

As you already said, setting the pins to GPIO seems not to be crystal clear by only looking into the device trees for Tegra-based modules present in the kernel.

You could check the datasheet of Colibri T30 for pins that are GPIO by default and also check how they are configured in the device tree. This way, I hope it will be clearer for you what/how pins are configured as GPIO.

I found this interesting (and archived) project which might hopefully help you: GitHub - NVIDIA/tegra-pinmux-scripts: Scripts to auto-generate pin mux drivers and board configuration tables for Tegra SoCs and boards.

Best regards,

Hi! I’m trying to do the same - that is to upgrade the kernel from 3.x to 6.6. May I ask you some questions on how you managed it?

Hello,

There was some more work on our side since then, we also migrated from BSP 2.8 to BSP6 (which is not officially supported), well, we’re working on it

Where do you need help/what questions do you have? Feel free to PM me (if that is possible, never used that here before).

Regards, Simon

May I ask you what changes to .config you made from tegra_defconfig? I’m having trouble with scsi
