How to build a Kernel

Get sources from Github 1. Start the Console on Linux 2. git clone https://github.com/dh-electronics/linux-stm32mp1.git --branch dev/5.4.69_dhsom 3. cd linux-stm32mp1 Configure and build the Device Tree + Kernel 4. ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/gcc-arm-8.3-2019.03-x86_64-arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- make stm32mp1_dhsom_defconfig 5. ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/gcc-arm-8.3-2019.03-x86_64-arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- make menuconfig (optional: If you want to add/remove Kernel features) 6.

ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/gcc-arm-8.3-2019.03-x86_64-arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- make zImage Create the FIT-image with our script (Download link) Interactive mode for selecting device trees Device trees are set as parameter 8. create_fitimage Enter the numbers (space seperated) of the device trees to include (e.g. if you want to include the device tree for the PDK2 include the number of ./arch/arm/boot/dts/stm32mp157c-dhcom-pdk2.dtb (usually 3). Enter the numbers (space seperated) of the device trees overlays to include (e.g. for the PDK2 enter the files which contain PDK2 (usually 8 9 10 11 12 13 14). (Example is for the PDK2) 8. create_fitimage --dtb ./arch/arm/boot/dts/stm32mp157c-dhcom-pdk2.dtb --dtbo ./arch/arm/boot/dts/stm32mp157c-dhcom-pdk2-overlay-460-200-x11.dtbo,./arch/arm/boot/dts/stm32mp157c-dhcom-pdk2-overlay-497-200-x12.dtbo,./arch/arm/boot/dts/stm32mp157c-dhcom-pdk2-overlay-505-200-x12-ch101olhlwh.dtbo,./arch/arm/boot/dts/stm32mp157c-dhcom-pdk2-overlay-531-100-x21.dtbo,./arch/arm/boot/dts/stm32mp157c-dhcom-pdk2-overlay-531-100-x22.dtbo,./arch/arm/boot/dts/stm32mp157c-dhcom-pdk2-overlay-560-200-x12.dtbo,./arch/arm/boot/dts/stm32mp157c-dhcom-pdk2-overlay-638-100-x12-rpi7inch.dtbo

FAQ

USB 1.1 problems: Custom board without USB 2.0 hub inbetween the MP1 USB host port?

And in that case, have a look at arch/arm/boot/dts/stm32mp15xx-dhcom-picoitx.dtsi and how the OHCI (!) is enabled there. And of course, make sure the kernel config options are enabled accordingly (like for the PicoITX machine)

meta-dhsom-stm32-bsp$ git grep OHCI

recipes-kernel/linux/linux-stable/5.10/dh-stm32mp1-common/dh-stm32mp1-dhsom-common.cfg:CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD=y recipes-kernel/linux/linux-stable/5.10/dh-stm32mp1-common/dh-stm32mp1-dhsom-common.cfg:CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD_PLATFORM=y

arch/arm/boot/dts/stm32mp15xx-dhcom-picoitx.dtsi snippet:

&usbh_ehci {
         phys = <&usbphyc_port0>;
         status = "okay";
};

&usbh_ohci { // <---------------- HERE
         phys = <&usbphyc_port0>;
         status = "okay";
};

&usbotg_hs {
         dr_mode = "otg";
         pinctrl-0 = <&usbotg_hs_pins_a>;
         pinctrl-names = "default";
         phy-names = "usb2-phy";
         phys = <&usbphyc_port1 0>;
         vbus-supply = <&vbus_otg>;
         status = "okay";
};

&usbphyc {
         status = "okay";
};

&usbphyc_port0 {
         phy-supply = <&vdd_usb>;
         vdda1v1-supply = <&reg11>;
         vdda1v8-supply = <&reg18>;
};

&usbphyc_port1 {
         phy-supply = <&vdd_usb>;
         vdda1v1-supply = <&reg11>;
         vdda1v8-supply = <&reg18>;
};

System stability or USB Host problems?

If a display with higher resolution and pixel clock > 48 MHz is used, then this can case USB host and/or system stability problems.

Workaround: The OSPEEDR must be set to OSPEEDR = 1 for LCD_CLK and OSPEEDR = 0 for all other LTDC signals.

&pinctrl {
	ltdc_pins_ customhmi: ltdc-dh-1 {
		pins1 {
			pinmux = <STM32_PINMUX('I', 14, AF14)>; /* LCD_CLK */
			bias-disable;
			drive-push-pull;
			slew-rate = <1>;
		};
		pins2 {
				pinmux = <STM32_PINMUX('I', 12, AF14)>, /* LCD_HSYNC */
				 <STM32_PINMUX('I', 13, AF14)>, /* LCD_VSYNC */
                                 ...
				 <STM32_PINMUX('K',  6, AF14)>; /* LCD_B7 */
			bias-disable;
			drive-push-pull;
			slew-rate = <0>;
		};
	};
	
	ltdc_sleep_pins_ customhmi: ltdc-sleep-dh-1 {
		pins {
			pinmux = <STM32_PINMUX('I', 14, ANALOG)>, /* LCD_CLK */
                                 ...
