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)

FAQ

How to enable WiFi/BT support, if missing? How to configure RSI mode (WiFi alone, Bluetooth, ...)?

The needed sdmmc3 interface will be activated by the stm32mp15xx-dhcom-som.dtsi file. This is included by default with picoITX, PDK2 and DRC02 configuration.

Next to this the kernel module is needed. The Yocto build instructions can be found at the following file: https://github.com/dh-electronics/meta-dhsom-stm32-bsp/blob/dunfell-3.1/conf/machine/dh-stm32mp1-dhcom-picoitx.conf

# Ship kernel modules
MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RDEPENDS += " linux-firmware-rs9116 "
KERNEL_MODULE_AUTOLOAD += " rsi_sdio "
KERNEL_MODULE_PROBECONF += " rsi_sdio "
module_conf_rsi_sdio = "options rsi_sdio dev_oper_mode=1"

If you are using a different root filesystem (compared to our Yocto configuration) please ensure, that the firmware files and the rsi_sdio.conf file are included in the filesystem:

rsi_firmware.zip
  • Copy the directory rsi to /lib/firmware/
  • Copy the file rsi_sdio.conf to /etc/modprobe.d/

By default, the RSI module is configured to WiFi alone mode with our Yocto image. The mode can be configured by rsi_sdio.conf file:

According to Linux kernel source, the dev_oper_mode has the following meaning:
linux-2.6$ git grep -n DEV_OPMODE_ drivers/net/wireless/rsi/ [...]
drivers/net/wireless/rsi/rsi_hal.h:21:#define DEV_OPMODE_WIFI_ALONE     1
drivers/net/wireless/rsi/rsi_hal.h:22:#define DEV_OPMODE_BT_ALONE       4
drivers/net/wireless/rsi/rsi_hal.h:23:#define DEV_OPMODE_BT_LE_ALONE    8
drivers/net/wireless/rsi/rsi_hal.h:24:#define DEV_OPMODE_BT_DUAL        12
drivers/net/wireless/rsi/rsi_hal.h:25:#define DEV_OPMODE_STA_BT         5
drivers/net/wireless/rsi/rsi_hal.h:26:#define DEV_OPMODE_STA_BT_LE      9
drivers/net/wireless/rsi/rsi_hal.h:27:#define DEV_OPMODE_STA_BT_DUAL    13
drivers/net/wireless/rsi/rsi_hal.h:28:#define DEV_OPMODE_AP_BT          6
drivers/net/wireless/rsi/rsi_hal.h:29:#define DEV_OPMODE_AP_BT_DUAL     14

If you like to use Bluetooth alone mode, change dev_oper_mode to 12. Then you can use the standard hci commands. Start with 'hciconfig hci0 up' to activate the interface.

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 */
                                 ...
				 <STM32_PINMUX('K',  6, ANALOG)>; /* LCD_B7 */
		};
	};	
};

USB OTG: Custom board where the USB-OTG port is only used as host?

On the DHCOM standard, the second USB port of the STM32MP1 is usually an USB-OTG port. If you have a custom board where you want to use the USB-OTG port in host mode only, you should consider the following:

The USB-OTG controller on the STM32MP1, DWC2, does support host mode but is rather inefficient (in comparison to a dedicated USB host controller). The following block diagram shows, that it is possible on the STM32MP1 to alter the pinmuxing, so that the USB-OTG port is used with the USB Host controller of the STM32MP1 (instead of using the DWC2 OTG controller):

   Host port#1: EHCI/OHCI controller _________ HS PHY port #1 (SoC balls D+/D- #1)
      
      
   Host port#2: EHCI/OHCI controller __ 
                                        \   
                                        |_____ HS PHY port #2 (SoC balls D+/D- #2)
   DWC2 OTG controller_________________/|
                                        |
           UTIM switch__________________|

This change can be made in the device tree with disabling the DWC2 controller and adding the second usb_phyc port to the nodes of usbh_ehci and (if applicable) usbh_ohci. These nodes are usually in the .dtsi file of the board (e.g. for the PicoITX: arch/arm/boot/dts/stm32mp15xx-dhcom-picoitx.dtsi). Here a is snippet how this could look like:

&usbh_ehci {
         phys = <&usbphyc_port0>, <&usbphyc_port1 1>; // <-------- HERE
         status = "okay";
};

&usbh_ohci { 
         phys = <&usbphyc_port0>, <&usbphyc_port1 1>; // <-------- HERE
         status = "okay";
};

&usbotg_hs {
         status = "disabled"; // <-------- HERE
};

&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>;
};
