NXP i.MX
========
This BSP offers only one variant, the `imx7`. This variant supports the i.MX
7Dual processor. The basic hardware initialization is not performed by the
BSP. A boot loader with device tree support must be used to start the BSP,
e.g. U-Boot.
Build Configuration Options
---------------------------
The following options are available at the configure command line.
``BSP_PRESS_KEY_FOR_RESET``
If defined to a non-zero value, then print a message and wait until pressed
before resetting board when application terminates.
``BSP_RESET_BOARD_AT_EXIT``
If defined to a non-zero value, then reset the board when the application
terminates.
``BSP_PRINT_EXCEPTION_CONTEXT``
If defined to a non-zero value, then print the exception context when an
unexpected exception occurs.
``BSP_FDT_BLOB_SIZE_MAX``
The maximum size of the device tree blob in bytes (default is 262144).
``CONSOLE_USE_INTERRUPTS``
Use interrupt driven mode for console devices (enabled by default).
``IMX_CCM_IPG_HZ``
The IPG clock frequency in Hz (default is 67500000).
``IMX_CCM_UART_HZ``
The UART clock frequency in Hz (default is 24000000).
``IMX_CCM_AHB_HZ``
The AHB clock frequency in Hz (default is 135000000).
Boot via U-Boot
---------------
The application executable file (ELF file) must be converted to an U-Boot
image. Use the following commands:
::
arm-rtems5-objcopy -O binary app.exe app.bin
gzip -9 -f -c app.bin > app.bin.gz
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -a 0x80200000 -e 0x80200000 -n RTEMS -d app.bin.gz app.img
Use the following U-Boot commands to boot an application via TFTP download:
::
tftpboot ${loadaddr} app.img && run loadfdt && bootm ${loadaddr} - ${fdt_addr} ; reset
Clock Driver
------------
The clock driver uses the `ARMv7-AR Generic Timer`.
Console Driver
--------------
The console driver supports up to seven on-chip UARTs. They are initialized
according to the device tree. The console driver does not configure the pins.
I2C Driver
----------
I2C drivers are registered by the ``i2c_bus_register_imx()`` function. The I2C
driver does not configure the pins.
.. code-block:: c
#include <assert.h>
#include <bsp.h>
void i2c_init(void)
{
int rv;
rv = i2c_bus_register_imx("/dev/i2c-0", "i2c0");
assert(rv == 0);
}
SPI Driver
----------
SPI drivers are registered by the ``spi_bus_register_imx()`` function. The SPI
driver configures the pins according to the ``pinctrl-0`` device tree property.
SPI transfers with a continuous chip select are limited by the FIFO size of 64
bytes. The driver has no DMA support.
.. code-block:: c
#include <assert.h>
#include <bsp.h>
void spi_init(void)
{
int rv;
rv = spi_bus_register_imx("/dev/spi-0", "spi0");
assert(rv == 0);
}
Network Interface Driver
------------------------
The network interface driver is provided by the `libbsd`. It is initialized
according to the device tree. It supports checksum offload and interrupt
coalescing. IPv6 transmit checksum offload is not implemented. The interrupt
coalescing uses the MII/GMII clocks and can be controlled by the following
system controls:
* ``dev.ffec.<unit>.int_coal.rx_time``
* ``dev.ffec.<unit>.int_coal.rx_count``
* ``dev.ffec.<unit>.int_coal.tx_time``
* ``dev.ffec.<unit>.int_coal.tx_count``
A value of zero for the time or count disables the interrupt coalescing in the
corresponding direction.
Caveats
-------
The clock and pin configuration support is quite rudimentary and mostly relies
on the boot loader. For a pin group configuration see
``imx_iomux_configure_pins()``. There is no power management support.
