[FAQ] TDA4VM: How to test GPIO interrupts

Is there a way to test the functionality of GPIO interrupts without having to physically drive the line as input and controlling the
pin state externally?

    The interrupt path for GPIO on TDA4/J721e/J7200:

    GPIO --> INTR(GPIO Interrupt Router) --> GIC500

    Also note that in the Linux driver there is support for banked interrupts only & no support for unbanked interrupts.

    We can validate the entire GPIO interrupt path mentioned above without even having to externally control
    the GPIO pin. Here is a simple code snippet to configure a GPIO pin and register an interrupt handler.

    Trick to generate/fake interrupt is to configure the GPIO as output & toggle the state of GPIO.
    5635.0001-davinci_gpio-Test-interrupts.patch

    Apply the above patch to Linux directory of PSDKLA 8.0

    cd $PSDKLA_PATH/board-support/linux*

git am 0001-davinci_gpio-Test-interrupts.patch
cd ../..
make linux
Insert the SD card
Edit Rules.make to point DESTDIR to rootfs of SD card: DESTDIR=/media/$USER/rootfs

sudo make linux_install
sync

    This should register a test interrupt handler for wkup_gpio module GPIO_52.

    Once we boot up we need to figure out the GPIO numbering in Linux for wkup_gpio_52

    cat /sys/class/gpio/gpiochip372/label
    42110000.gpio

    So the wkup_gpio module starts with 372 & hence wkup_gpio_52 will be 372+52 = 424

    echo 424 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio424/direction
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio424/value

    One can see the print from wkup_gpio_52 test interrupt handler.

    [   83.608230] test_irq: irq 293, val=0

    We can also check the interrupt count increase:

    cat /proc/interrupts | grep key-gpio
    293: 2 0 GPIO 52 Edge -davinci_gpio key-gpio
