Storage Layout


DHCOM SPI Boot Flash


DHCOM Storage Layout

Linux virtual machine for development

Linux Kernel

Sources for the i.MX6 Kernel

  • Mainline
  • Vendor

How to build a Kernel

Get sources from Github

1. Start the Console on Linux
2. git clone https://github.com/dh-electronics/linux-imx6qdl.git --branch dev/4.4.60_dhcom
3. cd linux-imx6qdl

Configure and build the Device Tree + Kernel

4. ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- make imx6_dhcom_defconfig
5. ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- make menuconfig (optional: If you want to add/remove Kernel features)
6. ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- make dtbs
7. ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- make zImage

  • The built imx6x-dhcom#Y-BOARD.dtb devicetree files are available in arch/arm/boot/dts
    • x = s, dl, d, q
    • # = 2 for HW200, 3 for HW300, 4 for HW400
    • Y = B for Base, H for Hi-Speed-Interfaces
    • BOARD = pdk1, pdk2, ...
  • The built zImage kernel file will you find in arch/arm/boot

Update the Kernel and Devicetree with U-Boot

Please refere to the DHCOM Update Mechanism for i.MX6.

Update Kernel and Devicetree on a running Linux

Kernel

1. Copy the kernel zImage file to the path /boot
2. Check whether the correct zImage file name is set in /boot/uLinuxEnv.txt (e.g. zImage_file=zImage)

Devicetree

3. Copy the devicetree file to the path /boot/dtbs
4. Check fdtfile variable in /boot/uLinuxEnv.txt (e.g. fdtfile=/dtbs/imx6dl-dhcom3B-pdk2.dtb / see above)

Reboot System

5. Restart the system (e.g. reboot)

Make your own Device Tree for your board

The recommended proceeding for making your our Device Tree should be the following:
1. Clone the DH Device Tree Board file and change it to fit for your board
- Based on i.MX6 and PDK1 (works with i.MX6 HW200)
imx6qdl-dh_pdk1.dtsi --> imx6qdl-COMPANY_BOARDNAME.dtsi
- Based on i.MX6 and PDK2 (works with i.MX6 HW300)
imx6qdl-dh_pdk2.dtsi --> imx6qdl-COMPANY_BOARDNAME.dtsi
2. Clone the main Device Tree file and change the included boad file to yours
E.g. based on i.MX6DL HW300 with PDK2
imx6dl-dhcom3B-pdk2.dts --> imx6dl-dhcom3B-BOARDNAME.dts
3. Add your new main Device Tree file to Makefile (located in the same folder)


DH Device Tree pattern:
DHCOM Device Tree pattern

Debian Rootfilesystem

Available Rootfilesystems

Please have a look at the iMX6 Downloads section.

External Documentation

Login

Debian GNU/Linux 8 dhcom ttymxc0

dhcom login: root
Password: foo

Shutdown

# shutdown -h now

Calibrating the touchscreen (only on Debian 6.0)

# ts_calibrate
  • Check the enviroment variable "TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event0" with printenv if an error occurs.

How to create a microSD-card with a rootfilesystem on it

1. Format a microSD card like following (in linux e.g. gparted, palimpsest) with Master Boot Record partition scheme

P1 ext3, name="boot" (Primary partition: 100MiB)
P2 ext3, name="rootfs" (Primary part.: Residual space)

2. Untar the root file system to the "rootfs" partition of the microSD card (Don't copy the tar archive directly to the microSD card)

Start the Console on Linux
# su
# chmod 755 /path/of/the/microSD_card
# cd /path/of/the/microSD_card
# tar xfjv path/to/RootFS/Name_of_RootFS_file.tar.bz2

Remark: If you got a *.tar.gz file so type tar xfzv ... to extract the rootfilesystem.

Kernel Userspace Interfaces to Access Hardware

Serial (UART) Interfaces

DHCOM UART 1 /dev/ttymxc0
DHCOM UART 2 /dev/ttymxc1
DHCOM UART 3 <n/a>

I2C Interfaces

DHCOM I2C 1 /dev/i2c-1
DHCOM I2C 2 /dev/i2c-0

SPI Interfaces

DHCOM SPI 1 /dev/spidev0.0
DHCOM SPI 2 /dev/spidev1.0
Remark: DHCOM SPI1 interface doesn‘t work with DHCOM Premium Developer Kit (HD00013).
Reason: At DHCOM Premium Developer Kit SPI 1 isn‘t connected, because otherwise i.MX6 doesn‘t boot with the current schematic.

MMC/SD/eMMC Interfaces

DHCOM SD-Interface /dev/mmcblk1pX
on module µSD Card
on module eMMC /dev/mmcblk2pX
'X' has to be replaced with the partition number

Control the display brightness

Coming soon

Parallel Address- / Databus

To use the 16-bit address / databus from Linux userspace you can use the UIO driver interface. To enable and configure the interface it is necessary to setup the i.MX6 WEIM controller with the device tree. See the documentation of the device tree bindings of weim here.
Here is an example code which demonstrates how to do enable and configure the WEIM interface (parallel address- / databus):
&weim {
	pinctrl-names = "default";
	pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_dhcom_weim &pinctrl_dhcom_weim_cs0 &pinctrl_dhcom_weim_cs1>;
	#address-cells = <2>;
	#size-cells = <1>;
	/* it is necessary to setup 2x 64MB otherwise setting gpr fails */
	ranges = <0 0  0x08000000  0x04000000>,					// Chip select 0 == DHCOM CS A
		 <1 0  0x0c000000  0x04000000>;					// Chip select 1 == DHCOM CS B
	fsl,weim-cs-gpr = <&gpr>;
	status = "okay";

	uiomap_cs0@0,0 {
		compatible = "generic-uio";
		reg = <0 0x00000000 0x04000000>;
		reg-names = "uio_cs0";
		interrupt-parent = <&gpio1>;
		interrupts = <2 2>;						// Add gpio A == interrupt
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <1>;
		fsl,weim-cs-timing = <0x00610089 0x00001002 0x0F011061
				      0x00000000 0x0F068A31 0x00000000>;
		status = "okay";
	};

	uiomap_cs1@0,1 {
		compatible = "generic-uio";
		reg = <1 0x00000000 0x04000000>;
		reg-names = "uio_cs1";
		interrupt-parent = <&gpio1>;
		interrupts = <4 2>;						// Add gpio B == interrupt
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <1>;
		fsl,weim-cs-timing = <0x00610089 0x00001002 0x0F011061
				      0x00000000 0x0F068A31 0x00000000>;
		status = "disabled";
	};
};

We have already written some demo code at /arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6qdl-dhcom_cfg-weim.dtsi. It is easy to enable in the matching device-tree file: 
- // #include "imx6qdl-dhcom_cfg-weim.dtsi
+ #include "imx6qdl-dhcom_cfg-weim.dtsi

To use the generic uio driver it has to be enabled in the kernel configuration (make menuconfig)
  • Device Drivers -> Userspace I/O Drivers -> Userspace I/O platform driver with generic IRQ handling
The device-tree of_id of the uio driver has to be set via kernel command line
  • Add "optargs='uio_pdrv_genirq.of_id=generic-uio'" to uLinuxEnv.txt
Example for a UIO userspace driver:

Configure your own display

To configure your own display you have to do the following steps:
1. Configure your display and build a settings file by our tool DHCOMSettingsGenerator (Download v2.0.0.2)
2. Place generated file into the first partition (label: "boot")
3. Create a symbolic link to the file settings.bin ($ ln -s YourSettingsFile.bin settings.bin)
Remake: It is still possible to config the display via Device Tree e.g. dev/4.4.60_dhcom/arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6qdl-dh_pdk2.dtsi (not recommended by DH)


The following picture showing the sequence and priorities:

For detailed description of the display boot args please have a look at Display and Hardware settings of the iMX6 Bootloader.
