TPS65217: How to modify a register value using the Linux driver

Juan Gabriel Aldana Jaramillo
Prodigy 150 points
Part Number: TPS65217

Hello Support,

Currently, we are using the PMIC TPS65217C Linux driver and we need to modify the default value of the register CHGCONFIG3 (Address = 0x06) to change the charge current from 500mA (10b) to 300mA (00b).

Question: How can we change the value of this register using the driver? So far, we have been doing it by using "i2cset" tool (i2cset -y -f 0 0x24 0x06 0x32) but we would prefer to do it with the driver. We are using kernel 5.4.20.

We would appreciate any help you guys can provide us with this.

    Juan,

    I do not know if the driver has the ability to set individual registers inside the PMIC. When I am modifying PMIC registers, I also use the Linux "i2cset" command and type everything in manually (slave address, register address, data).

    I am going to re-assign this question to the AM335x Sitara processors team to see if they have written any shorter commands using the PMIC driver.

    If I understand correctly, you only want to change the Fast-charge current limit (in CHGCONFIG3 register) from 500mA to 300mA.

    Hello Brian,

    Yes, all we want to do is change Fast-charge current limit (in CHGCONFIG3 register) from 500mA to 300mA without using "i2cset".

    Thanks,

    Hello Juan,

    Apologies for the delayed response. TI's Processor SDKs up through SDK 6.1 still use Linux 4.19, so I will base my answer on software from AM335x Linux Processor SDK 6.1.

    Off the top of my head, I am not aware of a way to explicitly set the CHGCONFIG3 register from Linux. One option you could try is to edit the device tree entry for the TPS65217 by setting regulator-max-microamp. (see device tree bindings documentation Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/tps65217.txt and Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/regulator.txt)

    Regards,

    Nick
