If an attempt is made to load an unsupported cape by this platform the attempt will fail. Ive truncated the detailed setup of the buttons, but you can find the Linux keyboard scancodes by searching the Internet or the kernel source tree. * Copyright (C) 2013 CircuitCo as GitHub blocks most GitHub Wikis from search engines. A good help was the page from Derek Molloy. [ 3404.117507] bone-capemgr bone_capemgr.9: slot #8: Requesting firmware 'PyBBIO-gpio1_13--00A0.dtbo' for board-name 'Override Board Name', version '00A0' the Overlays). 6 To be able to forbid cape loading of capes that are not supported by a baseboard revision. Additionally you need to create the platform devices that it contains and register them. 41 Even the BeagleBoard.org Robotics Cape, one of our official BeagleBoard.org Capes, is currently without this EEPROM. The old 3.2 Kernel worked pretty well, so why was a move made to 3.8, which causes so much grief to the beaglebone old timers? Beaglebone capes are not static; a different cape set might be connected each time the board boots, and the only way to find out what kind of cape is connected is to read the serial EEPROM present on each cape which contains identification information. I don't want to change my cape so I need the head pins P0915 (PINS Nr 16), P0923 (PINS Nr 17), P0925 (PINS Nr 107) and P0846 (PINS Nr 41). That would require more developer resources, when the time for mainline porting comes. All those virtual capes can be used as a base for your own experimentation. A cape that uses the same resources as another loaded earlier should not be permitted to load. In the snippet below, the first thing I must do is disable the spidev driver instances used to provide userspace access to the SPI peripheral we plan to use for our LCD; I pulled the channel@0 and channel@1 names out of the primary device tree. You have to have device drivers with DT bindings. }; [ 5927.337143] bone-capemgr bone_capemgr.9: slot #11: Override Board Name,00A0,Override Manuf,bspm_P8_13_f 0x184 0x20 or the TEDS blob (for sensors). Grog angry! Don't worry too much if you don't follow all the exact syntax details yet, Alright, so let's look at what a Device Tree Source Overlay might look like for Cape #1, Unfortunately, this makes it verbose, but it is fairly simple to copy-and-paste-and-delete the required lines for your hardware. 0x180 0x20 "P9.24", /* uart1_txd */ >; For example: This device node creates a pinmux helper device which defines two pinmux states, named input and output. The compatible property lists the platforms that this cape supports. originated by Pantelis Antoniou are now being used to support add-on devices and expansion boards, Automatic loading of capes based on base board version (i.e. To not require source changes for any driver for a peripheral that resides on cape or onboard , i.e. describing their interconnections, which can be represented by the block diagram below : As you can see in the above block diagram, the "orange" colored blocks represent the connections on the Add the two following lines to ~/.profile: The command cat $SLOTS shows that there are no capes or overlays loaded (the first slots are assigned by EEPROM IDs on the capes): With the command sudo cat $PINS i can check the state of the pins: Pin number is not the GPIO number! For this example, we'll use the will disable the cape (if it's attempted to load automatically). * You can switch between them simply by. 47 We are working to determine if recommending identifying EEPROMs on PocketCapes is the best suggestion for all parties, but knowing that none of the mikroBus Click boards include these mean that it cant be our exclusive solution. (Updated: replaced link to device tree source to point to the overlay for PocketBeagle GamePup cape). Sure, you could use the basic gpio userspace driver, but both of these drivers provide some real benefit to end users. Another notable change in how BeagleBoard.org Debian images now handle Capes is that device tree overlays are now handled in u-boot. You have been successfully subscribed to the Notification List for this product and will therefore receive an e-mail from us when it is back in stock! 10 However it does offer safety, since if a device obtains the pin resources there's no way for them to be modified by some outside factor. About GitHub Wiki SEE, a search engine enabler for GitHub Wikis For actual platforms like the beaglebone the mechanism must be supplemented by platform specific logic. An example of this would be to describe how the UART interfaces with the system, which pins, how they should be muxed, the device to enable, and which driver to use. 27 More information about the internal of overlays and the resolution mechanism is located in Documentation/devicetree directory of the kernel. Bite the bullet, move to 3.8 using DT, and future proof the beaglebone by submitting everything for inclusion to mainline as soon as possible. The am335x is a prime example this, having many pins with up to 8 possible peripheral functions. This is followed the "exclusive-use", which defines what resources we want to utilize exclusively. https://github.com/techniq/wiki/wiki/Beaglebone-Device-Tree-Overlay, https://github.com/beagleboard/bb.org-overlays, https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black#BeagleBoneBlack-capemgr:v4.1.x+, Introduction to the BeagleBone Black Device Tree, Beagle Bone Black Device-Tree Overlay Generator, http://www.devicetree.org/Device_Tree_Usage, Debian no longer includes the overlays by default under. Instead, weve been watching the best practices of early developers and are seeking to document them. A dts-file (device tree source) is describing the data structure in a human readable format. Again generic frameworks win over custom solutions. The data driven model of device tree causes the most pain to the embedded developer steeped in the board file/platform method. 5 38 The gpio-leds driver enables me to associate many triggers to these new LEDs, again, without needing to write any new code. 15 if you intend to use this content. A more flexible way is to use device tree overlays in user space to change the device tree in runtime. The compiler will help to create my overlay file: Now we have to copy the file to /lib/firmware. no automatic configuration support, or used other description structures like the In converted ARM machines, these drivers now live in the appropriate drivers/* directory and share common code sanely with other similar drivers. 1 However, as hardware becomes more maleable, using Field Programmable Gate Arrays, and Programmable System-on-Chip devices, Well I did a little workaround and made a script that will init the GPIO via sysfs in the way I want at system start. Now its time to write the device tree source file by changing Dereks example file. Because the overlay has access to the symbols in the primary device tree, I simply reference the pin modes, eliminating the need to look up some register addresses and values. You do not have permission to delete messages in this group, Either email addresses are anonymous for this group or you need the view member email addresses permission to view the original message. 33 The indexable preview below may have serial# etc). For the next section of the overlay, I could have put part of it in my previous snippet, but I wanted to make sure not to gloss over something that caused me a fair bit of initial confusion. / { These properties are often documented for various drivers under the kernel source Documentation devicetree directory, but you can often find good examples exist elsewhere. Note that there are no foo driver changes, not any sort of platform board file hacking. In my last article, Thats where youll find all of the pinmux helpers youll need to disable. These kernel boot options are placed in the uEnv.txt file on the eMMC. Besides, loading and then unloading drivers would simply waste time. The offset is found in Dereks PDFs. The CapeMgr module in the kernel would search for valid EEPROMs and pull the appropriate overlay out of /lib/firmware. /plugin/; Then we simply set each of their status entries to disabled. last modified date. [ 3404.117102] bone-capemgr bone_capemgr.9: slot #8: generic override The platform logic of the beaglebone cape manager deals with the following: Lets add the beaglebone specific properties to the foo DT overlay and complete the cape. Consider a typical development situation, using something like a Beaglebone Black, 18 A: The biggest difference of-course is that there's no board file, so there are no platform data. Another useful link is the introduction to device tree by adafruit. Similarly, the part-number and version properties guard against an attempt of loading a bad cape. "uart1"; It's pretty big (at 4K+ lines), and quite difficult to modify. The gpio-keys driver produces keyboard events when the buttons are pressed, meaning that I can create keyboard bindings in applications like MAME without needing to modify its source code. to make all the Linux kernal and Device Tree Compiler changes required, the Overlays) for each expansion board (i.e. /* the hardware ip uses */ Callbacks break the data only model of DT. such as the PowerPC, or Power Architecture for several years now. 48 For security reasons, an e-mail has been sent to you acknowledging your subscription. To support the notion of a cape priority, so that in case of a conflict, the cape we define as higher priority gets loaded. We're interested here in In summary, the core of the change to DT is that logic that was previously accomplished in board files is moved into a mixture of generic frameworks, abstracted devices drivers, and data to drive that software. Xilinx Zynq, and many other System-on-Chip (SOC) devices. While this doesnt automatically configure the hardware for Capes, simple command-line instructions can be used at run-time to talk to the hardware on many Capes or prototype wiring configurations. The convention in the beaglebone cape format is that we reserve the header/pin and the hardware IP block the cape wants to use, in that case pin#43 of the P8 connector, and the gpio2_8 gpio hardware block. configuration, each board/Shield will contain a small I2C EEPROM that will hold the Device Tree Tom King The device tree is a data structure for describing hardware. take you directly to GitHub. I decided to use a new BeagleBone black (bbb) with new kernel (4.4) to use eMMC instead the SD-card. The potential here is that editing the text file in error can result in your board not booting. and some basics on how it is being used for automatically configuring the hardware of embedded computing platforms like the Beaglebone Black, But I dont need to set the pinmux via the overlay for that as far as i know. Since this was based on a TI supported kernel, hardware compatibility was generally good and the capes worked. Simply put, every board has to be described in a DTS (foo.dts) file that is compiled via the DTC compiler to a binary format DTB (flattened device tree format) which gets parsed on boot by the kernel and the devices are created. Creates a new I2C bus master. 23 [ 5927.341045] bone-capemgr bone_capemgr.9: slot #11: dtbo bspm_P8_13_f-00A0.dtbo loaded; converting to live tree "Capes") attached, 14 So the concept of a static and unchanging Device Tree wasn't keeping pace with the In /boot/uEnv.txt I have to uncomment the following dtb line: After a reboot I want to check the pins and loaded capes. When this overlay is applied the foo device will be created, just as if it was declared in the base.dts. 34 While there are a few different places to find the device tree entries for PocketBeagle, you can always find it in the BeagleBoard.org Github repository for the particular Linux kernel you are using in the provided Debian images. 37 allowing automatic discovery and automatic configuration on several computing platforms. As of today, the PocketBeagle System Reference Manual doesnt yet include any detailed recommendations on PocketCape design requirements. Retrieve the part-number and revision information of that cape. 9 19 There are patches against mainline that fix that, but not on 3.8 yet. root@beaglebone:/etc# nano rc.local. For a developer, the biggest change of using DT, is that it is purely data driven, and that custom platform drivers are frowned upon, opting instead to using generic frameworks, one of which is the pinmux framework. I have followed the tutorial from, http://kilobaser.com/blog/2014-07-28-beaglebone-black-devicetreeoverlay-generator#1gpiodto and got below error, root@beaglebone:/lib/firmware# echo bspm_P8_13_f > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr. Flattened Device Tree data structures (i.e. target = <&am33xx_pinmux>; Recovering from that error will require you to boot your board by another means, such as via the SD card, USB, or serial. 29 It saves us from needing to maintain custom kernel logic for every possible board and daughterboard (Cape or PocketCape) setup and curses us with a new syntax to configure all of the specifics of any given chunk of hardware. Enter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email. To enable the overlay sudois not enough. "P9.26", /* uart1_rxd */ For developers the biggest change is that the kernel board file is now gone. A: Example of an RS232 cape that uses UART2: This file is located in the kernel sources at. Now that weve got our gpios back, we can start having some more fun by allocating drivers for our hardware. rendering errors, broken links, missing images, and may not include the Beaglebone capes are mostly compatible between White and Black, but due to the presence of the eMMC flash and the HDMI framer, some special attention must be paid for capes that use the same resources. 42 To guard against resource conflicts. The CapeMgr kernel module has some great benefits for debugging things at run-time and even loading overlays for hardware whose interface isnt configure until run-time, such as FPGAs or the PRUs. Ignore the new mainline dictums, carry on using 3.2 and make the jump to mainline sometime in the future. A compiler (dtc; decvice tree compiler) converts the dts file to compact device tree blob file used by the kernel. //refering to pincontroll settings from bs_pinmode_P8_26_0xf in fragment@0, echo "61" > /sys/class/gpio/export #set gpio61 P8_26, echo "out" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio61/direction #set gpio61 as output, echo "1" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio61/value #set gpio61 to high, http://www.kilobaser.com/blog/2014-07-28-beaglebone-black-devicetreeoverlay-generator).

For example adding a new enabled device node should result in a new device being created, while removing a node removes the device and so on. In the code snippet below, Ive truncated it a bit below for brevity, but you can see the full version in the Github entry. For the sake of making the example more concrete let's have a gpio also controlling power to the device. The final overlay snippet simply loads the gpio-keys and gpio-leds drivers for the buttons and LEDs. While this doesnt remove these nodes, it prevents the drivers from being loaded. 50 You must add a device node in board.dts under the on-chip-peripherals(OCP) device node: No change in the board file (generic anyway) needs to be made, but the device driver must be updated to support the DT method, with something similar to the following: The driver described above can support both the platform data model and the new DT method. In the overlay, youll see we point the fragment at the ocp (on-chip-peripherals) entry one level up the hierarchy from where the pinmux helper drivers are loaded. The device's driver is only supposed to apply the mux and turn on the power to the device by setting a gpio to high (please bear in mind this is not a real-world example, but explains the issues). The program has to be called as superuser: And here the program for testing the UARTs: ##BeagleBone Black: HDMI (Audio/Video) disabled: * Copyright (C) 2012 Texas Instruments Incorporated - http://www.ti.com/, * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify, * it under the terms of the GNU General Purpose License Version 2 as, * published by the Free Software Foundation, * Original from: github.com/jadonk/validation-scripts/blob/master/test-capemgr/, * Modified by Derek Molloy for the example on www.derekmolloy.ie, /* P9_25 117 OUTPUT MODE7 - MUXT conflict mcasp0! Using a purely DT driver model can result in more flexibility, but we won't deal with it now. While we still have a good way to go to fully spell out all the recommendations for PocketCape developers, but this is an important start. and the main CPU/SoC Analog-to-Digital converter (ADC). [ 5927.337393] bone-capemgr bone_capemgr.9: slot #11: Requesting part number/version based 'bspm_P8_13_f-00A0.dtbo The beaglebone kernel has the patch already applied on its internal dtc compiler copy, as well as the angstrom image, but you need the following patches for other distros dtc packages. In addition to the pinmux helpers, there are also some gpio helpers loaded to allocate the gpio pins for sysfs. Device Tree Overlays, pin loading issues etc). Match the PART-NUMBER:REVISION tuple to a configuration that would result in the system state being that as if the cape was directly attached to the base board, and perform any actions that result to it. __overlay__ { On am33xx the generic pinctrl-single driver is used, and to be honest, is not as polished as the old omap mux driver. On top of that any new cape that is produced, either by TI/CCO or the community had to patch the board file to make it work. What must be done is for the driver to be converted to using the generic gpio and pinmux bindings. What is the most interesting part about the beaglebone family is its expandability by using Capes, small add on boards that can stack, and allow easy access to the peripherals of the am3359 SoC. A: The writing was on the wall; no way we could ever get the beaglebone in the mainline using it. contains a Flatten Device Tree data structure, and begins to read it and check it for validity. 45 /* the pin header uses */ After I disabled the uart2 cape by commenting it in /boot/uEnv.txt, I was able to load universal cape without problems. Note that when you have your own I2C devices that you need to access, you can either use the user-space I2C API, or create a device node for your device in the cape. * and why it is getting adopted for even more computing platforms. 13 To not require modification of the boot-loader, or of the base DTS. }; Each of these can be tested using run-time configurations, but lets look at the steps required to create the device tree overlay. updated on Jul 29, 2013. 39 /* identification */ This is a fairly common configuration, Before making your PocketCape commercially available, I highly recommend you at least check out theBeagleBoard.org Approved programand engage with our community developers on producing the best experience possible. These pins are blocked by hdmi audio (mcasp0) and nxphdmibonelt. For those folks, lets work together to make sure users of this rapidly expanding ecosystem have an amazing experience. Circuit Co. For better or worse, not all Capes include the configuration EEPROMs. Pinmuxing refers to the method of modern SoC multiplexing multiple peripheral functions to a rather limited set of physical pins/balls of the SoC package. thanks for the answer. The most fundamental aspect of this software support is creating a device tree overlay entry that can be utilized to configure the drivers for the board. The first thing we must do is free up any of the pins we need from the pinmux helpers. similar to the picture to the right. new programmable hardware paradigms, and Pantelis originated the idea of a I want my 4 Pins set as output, so the code has to by 0x07.

Just got my brand new Beaglebone green. Various cape information display (i.e. First, a bit of a history lesson From the launch of BeagleBone, we defined in the System Reference Manual a strategy of including I2C-based EEPROMs on all Capes such that those boards could be automatically discovered and appropriate pin configurations could be made. There are no ads in this search engine enabler service. It happens that the tinydrm driver in the kernel will be the ultimate home for drivers for these small LCD panels, but the FBTFT project is a good place to start to get something working. A: The old pinmux method was TI specific and although it made it in the mainline, it has no DT bindings and is duplicating functionality of the general pinmux framework. Sysfs exposes the pins directly to userspace programs through the /sys/class/gpio interface. In order to support the Device Tree Well start with the LCD. Device Tree overlays is a general purpose mechanism, which is not tied to any platform. */ The original beaglebone was shipped with a 3.2 kernel with a lot of patches and custom interfaces from Texas Instrumentss (TI) own kernel trees. /* P9.24 MODE0 OUTPUT (TXD) */ Previously, each ARM "machine", such as mach-omap2/*, implemented their SoC-specific pinmux and timer/clock drivers within their machine directory. 36 If, for any reason, you would like to unsubscribe from the Notification List for this product you will find details of how to do so in the e-mail that has just been sent to you! Note that there is a very slim chance for this driver to be admitted in mainline, but you can use it if it helps you port to the new kernel. fragment@1 { The exclusive-use property is a pretty simple attempt at implementing resource management.

I cant ssh into it and D2 led blinks twice per second. For SPI and I2C based LCDs, the BeagleBoard.org community, Matt Porter in particular, produced a solution for adding framebuffer support for these displays. version = "00A0"; We use this in the new 3.8 releases to boot both versions of the beaglebone using the same kernel, and only changing the DTB we boot with.

The problem with pinmuxing is that it is potentially dangerous if you don't know exactly what kind of hardware is connected to the SoC pins, so in the mainline pinmuxing is performed via the drivers on probe time. However, add-on and expansion boards typically had either echo cape-universaln > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.9/slot, then I wanted to have beaglebone to automatically load it at boot time so I modified /boot/uEnv.txt adding the below line. This is important to allow plug in capes to take preference over capes that are part of the baseboard; i.e. 2 It is completely different. Please remember that this subscription will not result in you receiving any e-mail from us about anything other than the restocking of this item. It is possible to change these dtb files in /boot/dtbs, but we have to reboot every time after we change the device tree. While this is doable when you have a couple of capes, when you expect dozens of capes, most of them produced by community members, having to expect them to hack the board file, is completely out of the question. Once compiled, using the Device Tree Compiler, the resulting Flattened Device Tree binary overlay Reading the EEPROMs of the capes for retrieval of the part numbers & revision. To help in the transition a full set of peripheral drivers and their Device Tree Overlay This data structure is passed to the operating system at boot time.
