Storage Layout


DHCOM Boot Storage i.MX6


DHCOM Storage Layout i.MX6

Linux virtual machine for development

Linux Kernel

Sources: Look at page i.MX6 BSP Sources

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=/opt/gcc-linaro-4.9-2014.11-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- make imx6_dhcom_defconfig
5. ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/gcc-linaro-4.9-2014.11-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-linaro-4.9-2014.11-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- make dtbs
7. ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/gcc-linaro-4.9-2014.11-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/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 Device Tree with U-Boot

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

Update Kernel and Device Tree on a running Linux

Kernel

1. Copy the kernel zImage file to the path /boot (You can rename it after the Kernel version zImage_X.Y.Z)
2. Check zImage_file variable in /boot/uLinuxEnv.txt (e.g. zImage_file=zImage_4.4.60)

Device Tree

3. Copy the Device Tree *.dtb file to the path /boot/dtbs_X.Y.Z
4. Check fdt_file variable in /boot/uLinuxEnv.txt (e.g. fdtfile=/dtbs_4.4.60/imx6dl-dhcom4B-pdk2.dtb)

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 Images section.

Login

dhcom login: root
Password: foo

Reboot

# reboot
or
# shutdown -r now

Shutdown

# poweroff
or
# shutdown -h now
Note: If the watchdog is active, the system will be reset.

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.

Kernel Userspace Interfaces to Access Hardware

Ethernet Interfaces

DHCOM ENET 1 ethsom0
DHCOM ENET 2 ethsom1

Serial (UART) Interfaces

DHCOM (FF) UART 1 /dev/ttymxc0
DHCOM (BT) UART 2 /dev/ttymxc4
DHCOM (STD) UART 3 /dev/ttymxc3

I2C Interfaces

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 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:
DHCOM Display Settings


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