TDA4VM: PSDKRA7.2 : Ethfw UART port change in Vision_apps firmware

Part Number: TDA4VM

Hi TI members:

We have one customer TDA4 board, which have three UART ports ( MAIN_UART0 / MCU_UART0 / WKUP_UART0).

Because MAIN_UART0 is used for A72 linux print log,

we would like to change the ethfw log print on MCU_UART0 or WKUP_UART0.

Right now we migrate our code to PSDKRA7.2,

I already modify below pdk code for change ethfw UART port

I also update the WKUP_UART0 pins pinmux in pdk/packages/ti/drv/enet/examples/utils/V1/enet_board_pinmux.c  ,

and confirm it after linux login:

J28 : WKUP_UART0_TXD 00010000 (pin 41 (PIN41) 4301c0a4 00010000 pinctrl-single)

J29 : WKUP_UART0_RXD 00050000 (pin 40 (PIN40) 4301c0a0 00050000 pinctrl-single)

But now I still can't see the ethfw log print on WKUP_UART0.

Do you have any idea about this request?

  • Hi,

    Have you looked at this E2E ?

    Regards

    Vineet

  • Hi Vineet:

    Yes, I just follow this thread's rule and try it on PSDKRA_07_02

    1. <SDK>/pdk/packages/ti/drv/enet/examples/utils/include/enet_apputils.h
      • Set initParams.uartInst value in EnetBoard_boardInit() function to new UART instance number.
      • If the new UART instance is not in Main domain, also change initParams.uartSocDomain in the same function.
    2. <SDK>/pdk/packages/ti/drv/enet/examples/utils/V1/enet_board_pinmux_j721e_data.c
      1. Update gUartPinCfg array with the pin mux settings corresponding to the new UART instance

    For the item 1 , I change my pdk code in  pdk/packages/ti/drv/enet/examples/utils/V1/enet_appboardutils_j721e_evm.c :

    + //initParams.uartInst = ENET_UTILS_MCU2_0_UART_INSTANCE;
    + //initParams.uartSocDomain = BOARD_SOC_DOMAIN_MAIN;
    + initParams.uartInst = 0;
    + initParams.uartSocDomain = BOARD_SOC_DOMAIN_WKUP;

    For the item 2, I confirm my WKUP_UART0 pinmx after I log in linux :

    J28 : WKUP_UART0_TXD 00010000 (pin 41 (PIN41) 4301c0a4 00010000 pinctrl-single)

    J29 : WKUP_UART0_RXD 00050000 (pin 40 (PIN40) 4301c0a0 00050000 pinctrl-single)

  • Hi,

    You are trying to change to WKUP_UART0 ? Can you try with MCU_UART0 and check ?

    WKUP_UART is used by System Firmware so I am not so sure.

    Regards

    Vineet

  • Hi Vineet:

    Yes, I also try the MCU_UART0 part, but the log still didn't print on MCU_UART0. 

    And I find the ethfw log was print on MAIN_UART0 when I modify log print to MCU_UART0 or WKUP_UART0.

    You can see the below log that I log form MAIN_UART0

     The red part log is ethfw log, and it should print on MCU_UART0 or WKUP_UART0.

  • Hi Sentinen,

    I will check and get back

  • Hi Vineet:

    I find there is one function we can disable.

    I disable the below part in pdk/packages/ti/drv/uart/src/UART_drv.c

    --- a/packages/ti/drv/uart/src/UART_drv.c
    +++ b/packages/ti/drv/uart/src/UART_drv.c
    @@ -116,10 +116,11 @@ void UART_init(void)

         }
    -
    +/*
     #if defined (BUILD_MCU)
         UART_socInit();
     #endif
    +*/
     }
    

    It always overwrite the uartInitCfg configurations to main_doamin.

    After disable this function, I can print log on mcu_uart0 and wkup_uart0 successfully.
