TDA4VM: How to modify uart pin definition in linux *.dts

Gibbs Shih

Part Number: TDA4VM

Dear Experts :

as title description, our uart pin definition as below

/* This file was auto-generated by TI PinMux on 2021/8/9 at 下午5:04:53. */
/* This file should only be used as a reference. Some pins/peripherals, */
/* depending on your use case, may need additional configuration. */

&main_pmx0 {
	myuart0_pins_default: myuart0_pins_default {
		pinctrl-single,pins = <
			J721E_IOPAD(0x1e8, PIN_INPUT, 0) /* (AB2) UART0_RXD */
			J721E_IOPAD(0x1ec, PIN_OUTPUT, 0) /* (AB3) UART0_TXD */
		>;
	};

	myuart1_pins_default: myuart1_pins_default {
		pinctrl-single,pins = <
			J721E_IOPAD(0x1f8, PIN_INPUT, 0) /* (AA4) UART1_RXD */
			J721E_IOPAD(0x1fc, PIN_OUTPUT, 0) /* (AB4) UART1_TXD */
		>;
	};

};

How to add uart0 / uart1 in *.dts? any examples?

k3-j721e-common-proc-board.dts ?

k3-j721e-main.dtsi ?

Many Thanks

Gibbs,

Pinmuxing is a board related task. So the pins definition needs to be added here:

k3-j721e-common-proc-board.dts.

Example:

&main_pmx0 {
sw10_button_pins_default: sw10_button_pins_default {
pinctrl-single,pins = <
J721E_IOPAD(0x0, PIN_INPUT, 7) /* (AC18) EXTINTn.GPIO0_0 */
>;
};

dp0_pins_default: dp0_pins_default {
pinctrl-single,pins = <
J721E_IOPAD(0x1c4, PIN_INPUT, 5) /* SPI0_CS1.DP0_HPD */
>;
};

main_i2c1_exp4_pins_default: main-i2c1-exp4-pins-default {
pinctrl-single,pins = <
J721E_IOPAD(0x230, PIN_INPUT, 7) /* (U2) ECAP0_IN_APWM_OUT.GPIO1_11 */
>;
};

main_i2c0_pins_default: main-i2c0-pins-default {
pinctrl-single,pins = <
J721E_IOPAD(0x220, PIN_INPUT_PULLUP, 0) /* (AC5) I2C0_SCL */
J721E_IOPAD(0x224, PIN_INPUT_PULLUP, 0) /* (AA5) I2C0_SDA */
>;
};

....

We can see how the main_i2c1 pins are defined. Then used as below:

&main_i2c0 {
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&main_i2c0_pins_default>;
clock-frequency = <400000>;

You should do similar on UART. You can even look at UART example in other SoC dts files:

arch/arm64/boot/dts/ti/k3-am654-base-board.dts

&main_pmx0 {
main_uart0_pins_default: main-uart0-pins-default {
pinctrl-single,pins = <
AM65X_IOPAD(0x01e4, PIN_INPUT, 0) /* (AF11) UART0_RXD */
AM65X_IOPAD(0x01e8, PIN_OUTPUT, 0) /* (AE11) UART0_TXD */
AM65X_IOPAD(0x01ec, PIN_INPUT, 0) /* (AG11) UART0_CTSn */
AM65X_IOPAD(0x01f0, PIN_OUTPUT, 0) /* (AD11) UART0_RTSn */
>;
};

If no other questions please click on verify answer.

Hi, Keerthy

I feel a little bit confuse

I saw related code in "k3-j721e-main.dtsi", do I also need modify this part? or don't care?

	};

or Do I only need to add/modify code in "k3-j721e-common-proc-board.dts" is fine?

Where is original "pin(IOPAD) definition" for uart0 for linux console?

Thanks
