1 | PXA2xx SPI on SSP driver HOWTO | ||
2 | =================================================== | ||
3 | This a mini howto on the pxa2xx_spi driver. The driver turns a PXA2xx | ||
4 | synchronous serial port into a SPI master controller | ||
5 | (see Documentation/spi/spi_summary). The driver has the following features | ||
6 | |||
7 | - Support for any PXA2xx SSP | ||
8 | - SSP PIO and SSP DMA data transfers. | ||
9 | - External and Internal (SSPFRM) chip selects. | ||
10 | - Per slave device (chip) configuration. | ||
11 | - Full suspend, freeze, resume support. | ||
12 | |||
13 | The driver is built around a "spi_message" fifo serviced by workqueue and a | ||
14 | tasklet. The workqueue, "pump_messages", drives message fifo and the tasklet | ||
15 | (pump_transfer) is responsible for queuing SPI transactions and setting up and | ||
16 | launching the dma/interrupt driven transfers. | ||
17 | |||
18 | Declaring PXA2xx Master Controllers | ||
19 | ----------------------------------- | ||
20 | Typically a SPI master is defined in the arch/.../mach-*/board-*.c as a | ||
21 | "platform device". The master configuration is passed to the driver via a table | ||
22 | found in include/asm-arm/arch-pxa/pxa2xx_spi.h: | ||
23 | |||
24 | struct pxa2xx_spi_master { | ||
25 | enum pxa_ssp_type ssp_type; | ||
26 | u32 clock_enable; | ||
27 | u16 num_chipselect; | ||
28 | u8 enable_dma; | ||
29 | }; | ||
30 | |||
31 | The "pxa2xx_spi_master.ssp_type" field must have a value between 1 and 3 and | ||
32 | informs the driver which features a particular SSP supports. | ||
33 | |||
34 | The "pxa2xx_spi_master.clock_enable" field is used to enable/disable the | ||
35 | corresponding SSP peripheral block in the "Clock Enable Register (CKEN"). See | ||
36 | the "PXA2xx Developer Manual" section "Clocks and Power Management". | ||
37 | |||
38 | The "pxa2xx_spi_master.num_chipselect" field is used to determine the number of | ||
39 | slave device (chips) attached to this SPI master. | ||
40 | |||
41 | The "pxa2xx_spi_master.enable_dma" field informs the driver that SSP DMA should | ||
42 | be used. This caused the driver to acquire two DMA channels: rx_channel and | ||
43 | tx_channel. The rx_channel has a higher DMA service priority the tx_channel. | ||
44 | See the "PXA2xx Developer Manual" section "DMA Controller". | ||
45 | |||
46 | NSSP MASTER SAMPLE | ||
47 | ------------------ | ||
48 | Below is a sample configuration using the PXA255 NSSP. | ||

66 | .num_chipselect = 1, /* Matches the number of chips attached to NSSP */ | ||
67 | .enable_dma = 1, /* Enables NSSP DMA */ | ||
68 | }; | ||
69 | |||
70 | static struct platform_device pxa_spi_nssp = { | ||
71 | .name = "pxa2xx-spi", /* MUST BE THIS VALUE, so device match driver */ | ||
72 | .id = 2, /* Bus number, MUST MATCH SSP number 1..n */ | ||
73 | .resource = pxa_spi_nssp_resources, | ||
74 | .num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(pxa_spi_nssp_resources), | ||
75 | .dev = { | ||
76 | .platform_data = &pxa_nssp_master_info, /* Passed to driver */ | ||
77 | }, | ||
78 | }; | ||
79 | |||
80 | static struct platform_device *devices[] __initdata = { | ||
81 | &pxa_spi_nssp, | ||
82 | }; | ||
83 | |||
84 | static void __init board_init(void) | ||
85 | { | ||
86 | (void)platform_add_device(devices, ARRAY_SIZE(devices)); | ||
87 | } | ||
88 | |||
89 | Declaring Slave Devices | ||
90 | ----------------------- | ||
91 | Typically each SPI slave (chip) is defined in the arch/.../mach-*/board-*.c | ||
92 | using the "spi_board_info" structure found in "linux/spi/spi.h". See | ||
93 | "Documentation/spi/spi_summary" for additional information. | ||
94 | |||
95 | Each slave device attached to the PXA must provide slave specific configuration | ||
96 | information via the structure "pxa2xx_spi_chip" found in | ||
97 | "include/asm-arm/arch-pxa/pxa2xx_spi.h". The pxa2xx_spi master controller driver | ||
98 | will uses the configuration whenever the driver communicates with the slave | ||
99 | device. | ||
100 | |||
101 | struct pxa2xx_spi_chip { | ||
102 | u8 tx_threshold; | ||
103 | u8 rx_threshold; | ||
104 | u8 dma_burst_size; | ||
105 | u32 timeout_microsecs; | ||
106 | u8 enable_loopback; | ||
107 | void (*cs_control)(u32 command); | ||
108 | }; | ||
109 | |||
110 | The "pxa2xx_spi_chip.tx_threshold" and "pxa2xx_spi_chip.rx_threshold" fields are | ||
111 | used to configure the SSP hardware fifo. These fields are critical to the | ||
112 | performance of pxa2xx_spi driver and misconfiguration will result in rx | ||
113 | fifo overruns (especially in PIO mode transfers). Good default values are | ||
114 | |||
115 | .tx_threshold = 12, | ||
116 | .rx_threshold = 4, | ||
117 | |||
118 | The "pxa2xx_spi_chip.dma_burst_size" field is used to configure PXA2xx DMA | ||
119 | engine and is related the "spi_device.bits_per_word" field. Read and understand | ||
120 | the PXA2xx "Developer Manual" sections on the DMA controller and SSP Controllers | ||
121 | to determine the correct value. An SSP configured for byte-wide transfers would | ||
122 | use a value of 8. | ||
123 | |||
124 | The "pxa2xx_spi_chip.timeout_microsecs" fields is used to efficiently handle | ||
125 | trailing bytes in the SSP receiver fifo. The correct value for this field is | ||
126 | dependent on the SPI bus speed ("spi_board_info.max_speed_hz") and the specific | ||
127 | slave device. Please note the the PXA2xx SSP 1 does not support trailing byte | ||
128 | timeouts and must busy-wait any trailing bytes. | ||
129 | |||
130 | The "pxa2xx_spi_chip.enable_loopback" field is used to place the SSP porting | ||
131 | into internal loopback mode. In this mode the SSP controller internally | ||
132 | connects the SSPTX pin the the SSPRX pin. This is useful for initial setup | ||
133 | testing. | ||
134 | |||
135 | The "pxa2xx_spi_chip.cs_control" field is used to point to a board specific | ||
136 | function for asserting/deasserting a slave device chip select. If the field is | ||
137 | NULL, the pxa2xx_spi master controller driver assumes that the SSP port is | ||
138 | configured to use SSPFRM instead. | ||
139 | |||
140 | NSSP SALVE SAMPLE | ||
141 | ----------------- | ||
142 | The pxa2xx_spi_chip structure is passed to the pxa2xx_spi driver in the | ||
143 | "spi_board_info.controller_data" field. Below is a sample configuration using | ||

207 | DMA and PIO I/O Support | ||
208 | ----------------------- | ||
209 | The pxa2xx_spi driver support both DMA and interrupt driven PIO message | ||
210 | transfers. The driver defaults to PIO mode and DMA transfers must enabled by | ||
211 | setting the "enable_dma" flag in the "pxa2xx_spi_master" structure and and | ||
212 | ensuring that the "pxa2xx_spi_chip.dma_burst_size" field is non-zero. The DMA | ||
213 | mode support both coherent and stream based DMA mappings. | ||
214 | |||

218 | if !enable_dma or dma_burst_size == 0 then | ||

220 | |||
221 | if spi_message.is_dma_mapped and rx_dma_buf != 0 and tx_dma_buf != 0 then | ||
222 | use coherent DMA mode | ||
223 | |||
224 | if rx_buf and tx_buf are aligned on 8 byte boundary then | ||
225 | use streaming DMA mode | ||
226 | |||
227 | otherwise | ||
228 | use PIO transfer | ||

429 | BUS NUMBERING | ||
430 | |||
431 | Bus numbering is important, since that's how Linux identifies a given | ||
432 | SPI bus (shared SCK, MOSI, MISO). Valid bus numbers start at zero. On | ||
433 | SOC systems, the bus numbers should match the numbers defined by the chip | ||
434 | manufacturer. For example, hardware controller SPI2 would be bus number 2, | ||
435 | and spi_board_info for devices connected to it would use that number. | ||
436 | |||
437 | If you don't have such hardware-assigned bus number, and for some reason | ||
438 | you can't just assign them, then provide a negative bus number. That will | ||
439 | then be replaced by a dynamically assigned number. You'd then need to treat | ||
440 | this as a non-static configuration (see above). | ||
