PXA2xx SPI on SSP driver HOWTO
|
|
===================================================
|
|
This a mini howto on the pxa2xx_spi driver. The driver turns a PXA2xx
|
|
synchronous serial port into a SPI master controller
|
|
(see Documentation/spi/spi-summary). The driver has the following features
|
|
|
|
- Support for any PXA2xx SSP
|
|
- SSP PIO and SSP DMA data transfers.
|
|
- External and Internal (SSPFRM) chip selects.
|
|
- Per slave device (chip) configuration.
|
|
- Full suspend, freeze, resume support.
|
|
|
|
The driver is built around a "spi_message" fifo serviced by workqueue and a
|
|
tasklet. The workqueue, "pump_messages", drives message fifo and the tasklet
|
|
(pump_transfer) is responsible for queuing SPI transactions and setting up and
|
|
launching the dma/interrupt driven transfers.
|
|
|
|
Declaring PXA2xx Master Controllers
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
Typically a SPI master is defined in the arch/.../mach-*/board-*.c as a
|
|
"platform device". The master configuration is passed to the driver via a table
|
|
found in include/linux/spi/pxa2xx_spi.h:
|
|
|
|
struct pxa2xx_spi_master {
|
|
u16 num_chipselect;
|
|
u8 enable_dma;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
The "pxa2xx_spi_master.num_chipselect" field is used to determine the number of
|
|
slave device (chips) attached to this SPI master.
|
|
|
|
The "pxa2xx_spi_master.enable_dma" field informs the driver that SSP DMA should
|
|
be used. This caused the driver to acquire two DMA channels: rx_channel and
|
|
tx_channel. The rx_channel has a higher DMA service priority the tx_channel.
|
|
See the "PXA2xx Developer Manual" section "DMA Controller".
|
|
|
|
NSSP MASTER SAMPLE
|
|
------------------
|
|
Below is a sample configuration using the PXA255 NSSP.
|
|
|
|
static struct resource pxa_spi_nssp_resources[] = {
|
|
[0] = {
|
|
.start = __PREG(SSCR0_P(2)), /* Start address of NSSP */
|
|
.end = __PREG(SSCR0_P(2)) + 0x2c, /* Range of registers */
|
|
.flags = IORESOURCE_MEM,
|
|
},
|
|
[1] = {
|
|
.start = IRQ_NSSP, /* NSSP IRQ */
|
|
.end = IRQ_NSSP,
|
|
.flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ,
|
|
},
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
static struct pxa2xx_spi_master pxa_nssp_master_info = {
|
|
.num_chipselect = 1, /* Matches the number of chips attached to NSSP */
|
|
.enable_dma = 1, /* Enables NSSP DMA */
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
static struct platform_device pxa_spi_nssp = {
|
|
.name = "pxa2xx-spi", /* MUST BE THIS VALUE, so device match driver */
|
|
.id = 2, /* Bus number, MUST MATCH SSP number 1..n */
|
|
.resource = pxa_spi_nssp_resources,
|
|
.num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(pxa_spi_nssp_resources),
|
|
.dev = {
|
|
.platform_data = &pxa_nssp_master_info, /* Passed to driver */
|
|
},
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
static struct platform_device *devices[] __initdata = {
|
|
&pxa_spi_nssp,
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
static void __init board_init(void)
|
|
{
|
|
(void)platform_add_device(devices, ARRAY_SIZE(devices));
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Declaring Slave Devices
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
Typically each SPI slave (chip) is defined in the arch/.../mach-*/board-*.c
|
|
using the "spi_board_info" structure found in "linux/spi/spi.h". See
|
|
"Documentation/spi/spi-summary" for additional information.
|
|
|
|
Each slave device attached to the PXA must provide slave specific configuration
|
|
information via the structure "pxa2xx_spi_chip" found in
|
|
"include/linux/spi/pxa2xx_spi.h". The pxa2xx_spi master controller driver
|
|
will uses the configuration whenever the driver communicates with the slave
|
|
device. All fields are optional.
|
|
|
|
struct pxa2xx_spi_chip {
|
|
u8 tx_threshold;
|
|
u8 rx_threshold;
|
|
u8 dma_burst_size;
|
|
u32 timeout;
|
|
u8 enable_loopback;
|
|
void (*cs_control)(u32 command);
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
The "pxa2xx_spi_chip.tx_threshold" and "pxa2xx_spi_chip.rx_threshold" fields are
|
|
used to configure the SSP hardware fifo. These fields are critical to the
|
|
performance of pxa2xx_spi driver and misconfiguration will result in rx
|
|
fifo overruns (especially in PIO mode transfers). Good default values are
|
|
|
|
.tx_threshold = 8,
|
|
.rx_threshold = 8,
|
|
|
|
The range is 1 to 16 where zero indicates "use default".
|
|
|
|
The "pxa2xx_spi_chip.dma_burst_size" field is used to configure PXA2xx DMA
|
|
engine and is related the "spi_device.bits_per_word" field. Read and understand
|
|
the PXA2xx "Developer Manual" sections on the DMA controller and SSP Controllers
|
|
to determine the correct value. An SSP configured for byte-wide transfers would
|
|
use a value of 8. The driver will determine a reasonable default if
|
|
dma_burst_size == 0.
|
|
|
|
The "pxa2xx_spi_chip.timeout" fields is used to efficiently handle
|
|
trailing bytes in the SSP receiver fifo. The correct value for this field is
|
|
dependent on the SPI bus speed ("spi_board_info.max_speed_hz") and the specific
|
|
slave device. Please note that the PXA2xx SSP 1 does not support trailing byte
|
|
timeouts and must busy-wait any trailing bytes.
|
|
|
|
The "pxa2xx_spi_chip.enable_loopback" field is used to place the SSP porting
|
|
into internal loopback mode. In this mode the SSP controller internally
|
|
connects the SSPTX pin to the SSPRX pin. This is useful for initial setup
|
|
testing.
|
|
|
|
The "pxa2xx_spi_chip.cs_control" field is used to point to a board specific
|
|
function for asserting/deasserting a slave device chip select. If the field is
|
|
NULL, the pxa2xx_spi master controller driver assumes that the SSP port is
|
|
configured to use SSPFRM instead.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: the SPI driver cannot control the chip select if SSPFRM is used, so the
|
|
chipselect is dropped after each spi_transfer. Most devices need chip select
|
|
asserted around the complete message. Use SSPFRM as a GPIO (through cs_control)
|
|
to accommodate these chips.
|
|
|
|

|
-----------------
|
|
The pxa2xx_spi_chip structure is passed to the pxa2xx_spi driver in the

}

|

static void __init streetracer_init(void)
|

|
ARRAY_SIZE(streetracer_spi_board_info));
|

}

|
DMA and PIO I/O Support
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
The pxa2xx_spi driver supports both DMA and interrupt driven PIO message
|
|
transfers. The driver defaults to PIO mode and DMA transfers must be enabled
|
|
by setting the "enable_dma" flag in the "pxa2xx_spi_master" structure. The DMA
|
|
mode supports both coherent and stream based DMA mappings.
|
|
|
|
The following logic is used to determine the type of I/O to be used on
|
|
a per "spi_transfer" basis:
|
|
|
|
if !enable_dma then
|
|
always use PIO transfers
|
|
|
|
if spi_message.len > 8191 then
|
|
print "rate limited" warning
|
|
use PIO transfers
|
|
|
|
if spi_message.is_dma_mapped and rx_dma_buf != 0 and tx_dma_buf != 0 then
|
|
use coherent DMA mode
|
|
|
|
if rx_buf and tx_buf are aligned on 8 byte boundary then
|
|
use streaming DMA mode
|
|
|
|
otherwise
|
|
use PIO transfer
