I'm trying to use a GPIO (pin 121, P3_7/EMU0) as digital input. I've tried a few different pins without success.
# cd /sys/class/gpio
# echo 121 >> export
# cd gpio121
# cat value
0
# cat direction
in
# cat active_low
0
I tried shorting GPIO_EXT pin 31 to pin 3 (3v3) and then to digital ground and cat value each time but it always reads 0.
I also tried using a pinmux in the DTS to define the pin as an INPUT_PULLUP as described here: https://e2e.ti.com/support/arm/sitara_arm/f/791/p/432614/1555809#1555809 but it did not seem to work. Here's relevant DTS:
&am33xx_pinmux {
gpio3_pins: gpio3_pins_default {
pinctrl-single,pins = <
0x1e4 (PIN_INPUT_PULLUP | MUX_MODE7) /* (C14) emu0.gpio3_7 */
0x1e8 (PIN_INPUT_PULLUP | MUX_MODE7) /* (B14) emu1.gpio3_8 */
>;
};
};
&gpio3 {
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&gpio3_pins>;
status = "okay";
};
And I see the following in kernel debug sysfs:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/pinctrl/44e10800.pinmux/pins|grep 121
pin 121 (44e109e4.0) 0000002f pinctrl-single
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/pinctrl/44e10800.pinmux/pingroups
registered pin groups:
...
group: gpio3_pins_default
pin 121 (44e109e4.0)
pin 122 (44e109e8.0)
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/pinctrl/44e10800.pinmux/pinmux-pins
Pinmux settings per pin
Format: pin (name): mux_owner gpio_owner hog?
...
pin 121 (44e109e4.0): 481ae000.gpio (GPIO UNCLAIMED) function gpio3_pins_default group gpio3_pins_default
pin 122 (44e109e8.0): 481ae000.gpio (GPIO UNCLAIMED) function gpio3_pins_default group gpio3_pins_default
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/pinctrl/44e10800.pinmux/pinmux-functions
...
function: gpio3_pins_default, groups = [ gpio3_pins_default ]
As far as I can tell nothing else is using that pin.
I also tried to set the pin as a digital output (echo out >> direction) then echo 1 >> value and probed the voltage vs digital ground with a multimeter but that also didn't change between writing a 1 or 0 but if I read the value file back it displayed the correct value (1 or 0.)
Is there something I'm missing to use GPIO pins from the SOM?
To answer my own question, it seems I was confusing pinctrl pin mapping and gpio pin mapping which are (apparently) completely unrelated.
Although the AM335x reference manual specifies 0x9e4 for conf_emu0 which shows up as "pin 121" in the various pinmux/ pinctrl listings under /sys/kernel/debug/pinctrl, this apparently is *not* the same as the pin number under /sys/class/gpio/. GPIO pins are numbered incrementally such that gpio3_7 would be 3*32+7 = pin 103. Which in fact works! Problem solved.
Hi I did the same as you above but still not working. Is there anything else to configure? Thank you
