| 1 | +PXA2xx SPI on SSP driver HOWTO |
| 2 | +=================================================== |
| 3 | +This a mini howto on the pxa2xx_spi driver. The driver turns a PXA2xx |
| 4 | +synchronous serial port into a SPI master controller |
| 5 | +(see Documentation/spi/spi_summary). The driver has the following features |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +- Support for any PXA2xx SSP |
| 8 | +- SSP PIO and SSP DMA data transfers. |
| 9 | +- External and Internal (SSPFRM) chip selects. |
| 10 | +- Per slave device (chip) configuration. |
| 11 | +- Full suspend, freeze, resume support. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +The driver is built around a "spi_message" fifo serviced by workqueue and a |
| 14 | +tasklet. The workqueue, "pump_messages", drives message fifo and the tasklet |
| 15 | +(pump_transfer) is responsible for queuing SPI transactions and setting up and |
| 16 | +launching the dma/interrupt driven transfers. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +Declaring PXA2xx Master Controllers |
| 19 | +----------------------------------- |
| 20 | +Typically a SPI master is defined in the arch/.../mach-*/board-*.c as a |
| 21 | +"platform device". The master configuration is passed to the driver via a table |
| 22 | +found in include/asm-arm/arch-pxa/pxa2xx_spi.h: |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +struct pxa2xx_spi_master { |
| 25 | + enum pxa_ssp_type ssp_type; |
| 26 | + u32 clock_enable; |
| 27 | + u16 num_chipselect; |
| 28 | + u8 enable_dma; |
| 29 | +}; |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +The "pxa2xx_spi_master.ssp_type" field must have a value between 1 and 3 and |
| 32 | +informs the driver which features a particular SSP supports. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +The "pxa2xx_spi_master.clock_enable" field is used to enable/disable the |
| 35 | +corresponding SSP peripheral block in the "Clock Enable Register (CKEN"). See |
| 36 | +the "PXA2xx Developer Manual" section "Clocks and Power Management". |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +The "pxa2xx_spi_master.num_chipselect" field is used to determine the number of |
| 39 | +slave device (chips) attached to this SPI master. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +The "pxa2xx_spi_master.enable_dma" field informs the driver that SSP DMA should |
| 42 | +be used. This caused the driver to acquire two DMA channels: rx_channel and |
| 43 | +tx_channel. The rx_channel has a higher DMA service priority the tx_channel. |
| 44 | +See the "PXA2xx Developer Manual" section "DMA Controller". |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +NSSP MASTER SAMPLE |
| 47 | +------------------ |
| 48 | +Below is a sample configuration using the PXA255 NSSP. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +static struct resource pxa_spi_nssp_resources[] = { |
| 51 | + [0] = { |
| 52 | + .start = __PREG(SSCR0_P(2)), /* Start address of NSSP */ |
| 53 | + .end = __PREG(SSCR0_P(2)) + 0x2c, /* Range of registers */ |
| 54 | + .flags = IORESOURCE_MEM, |
| 55 | + }, |
| 56 | + [1] = { |
| 57 | + .start = IRQ_NSSP, /* NSSP IRQ */ |
| 58 | + .end = IRQ_NSSP, |
| 59 | + .flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ, |
| 60 | + }, |
| 61 | +}; |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +static struct pxa2xx_spi_master pxa_nssp_master_info = { |
| 64 | + .ssp_type = PXA25x_NSSP, /* Type of SSP */ |
| 65 | + .clock_enable = CKEN9_NSSP, /* NSSP Peripheral clock */ |
| 66 | + .num_chipselect = 1, /* Matches the number of chips attached to NSSP */ |
| 67 | + .enable_dma = 1, /* Enables NSSP DMA */ |
| 68 | +}; |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +static struct platform_device pxa_spi_nssp = { |
| 71 | + .name = "pxa2xx-spi", /* MUST BE THIS VALUE, so device match driver */ |
| 72 | + .id = 2, /* Bus number, MUST MATCH SSP number 1..n */ |
| 73 | + .resource = pxa_spi_nssp_resources, |
| 74 | + .num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(pxa_spi_nssp_resources), |
| 75 | + .dev = { |
| 76 | + .platform_data = &pxa_nssp_master_info, /* Passed to driver */ |
| 77 | + }, |
| 78 | +}; |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +static struct platform_device *devices[] __initdata = { |
| 81 | + &pxa_spi_nssp, |
| 82 | +}; |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +static void __init board_init(void) |
| 85 | +{ |
| 86 | + (void)platform_add_device(devices, ARRAY_SIZE(devices)); |
| 87 | +} |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +Declaring Slave Devices |
| 90 | +----------------------- |
| 91 | +Typically each SPI slave (chip) is defined in the arch/.../mach-*/board-*.c |
| 92 | +using the "spi_board_info" structure found in "linux/spi/spi.h". See |
| 93 | +"Documentation/spi/spi_summary" for additional information. |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +Each slave device attached to the PXA must provide slave specific configuration |
| 96 | +information via the structure "pxa2xx_spi_chip" found in |
| 97 | +"include/asm-arm/arch-pxa/pxa2xx_spi.h". The pxa2xx_spi master controller driver |
| 98 | +will uses the configuration whenever the driver communicates with the slave |
| 99 | +device. |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +struct pxa2xx_spi_chip { |
| 102 | + u8 tx_threshold; |
| 103 | + u8 rx_threshold; |
| 104 | + u8 dma_burst_size; |
| 105 | + u32 timeout_microsecs; |
| 106 | + u8 enable_loopback; |
| 107 | + void (*cs_control)(u32 command); |
| 108 | +}; |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +The "pxa2xx_spi_chip.tx_threshold" and "pxa2xx_spi_chip.rx_threshold" fields are |
| 111 | +used to configure the SSP hardware fifo. These fields are critical to the |
| 112 | +performance of pxa2xx_spi driver and misconfiguration will result in rx |
| 113 | +fifo overruns (especially in PIO mode transfers). Good default values are |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | + .tx_threshold = 12, |
| 116 | + .rx_threshold = 4, |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +The "pxa2xx_spi_chip.dma_burst_size" field is used to configure PXA2xx DMA |
| 119 | +engine and is related the "spi_device.bits_per_word" field. Read and understand |
| 120 | +the PXA2xx "Developer Manual" sections on the DMA controller and SSP Controllers |
| 121 | +to determine the correct value. An SSP configured for byte-wide transfers would |
| 122 | +use a value of 8. |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +The "pxa2xx_spi_chip.timeout_microsecs" fields is used to efficiently handle |
| 125 | +trailing bytes in the SSP receiver fifo. The correct value for this field is |
| 126 | +dependent on the SPI bus speed ("spi_board_info.max_speed_hz") and the specific |
| 127 | +slave device. Please note the the PXA2xx SSP 1 does not support trailing byte |
| 128 | +timeouts and must busy-wait any trailing bytes. |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +The "pxa2xx_spi_chip.enable_loopback" field is used to place the SSP porting |
| 131 | +into internal loopback mode. In this mode the SSP controller internally |
| 132 | +connects the SSPTX pin the the SSPRX pin. This is useful for initial setup |
| 133 | +testing. |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | +The "pxa2xx_spi_chip.cs_control" field is used to point to a board specific |
| 136 | +function for asserting/deasserting a slave device chip select. If the field is |
| 137 | +NULL, the pxa2xx_spi master controller driver assumes that the SSP port is |
| 138 | +configured to use SSPFRM instead. |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +NSSP SALVE SAMPLE |
| 141 | +----------------- |
| 142 | +The pxa2xx_spi_chip structure is passed to the pxa2xx_spi driver in the |
| 143 | +"spi_board_info.controller_data" field. Below is a sample configuration using |
| 144 | +the PXA255 NSSP. |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +/* Chip Select control for the CS8415A SPI slave device */ |
| 147 | +static void cs8415a_cs_control(u32 command) |
| 148 | +{ |
| 149 | + if (command & PXA2XX_CS_ASSERT) |
| 150 | + GPCR(2) = GPIO_bit(2); |
| 151 | + else |
| 152 | + GPSR(2) = GPIO_bit(2); |
| 153 | +} |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +/* Chip Select control for the CS8405A SPI slave device */ |
| 156 | +static void cs8405a_cs_control(u32 command) |
| 157 | +{ |
| 158 | + if (command & PXA2XX_CS_ASSERT) |
| 159 | + GPCR(3) = GPIO_bit(3); |
| 160 | + else |
| 161 | + GPSR(3) = GPIO_bit(3); |
| 162 | +} |
| 163 | + |
| 164 | +static struct pxa2xx_spi_chip cs8415a_chip_info = { |
| 165 | + .tx_threshold = 12, /* SSP hardward FIFO threshold */ |
| 166 | + .rx_threshold = 4, /* SSP hardward FIFO threshold */ |
| 167 | + .dma_burst_size = 8, /* Byte wide transfers used so 8 byte bursts */ |
| 168 | + .timeout_microsecs = 64, /* Wait at least 64usec to handle trailing */ |
| 169 | + .cs_control = cs8415a_cs_control, /* Use external chip select */ |
| 170 | +}; |
| 171 | + |
| 172 | +static struct pxa2xx_spi_chip cs8405a_chip_info = { |
| 173 | + .tx_threshold = 12, /* SSP hardward FIFO threshold */ |
| 174 | + .rx_threshold = 4, /* SSP hardward FIFO threshold */ |
| 175 | + .dma_burst_size = 8, /* Byte wide transfers used so 8 byte bursts */ |
| 176 | + .timeout_microsecs = 64, /* Wait at least 64usec to handle trailing */ |
| 177 | + .cs_control = cs8405a_cs_control, /* Use external chip select */ |
| 178 | +}; |
| 179 | + |
| 180 | +static struct spi_board_info streetracer_spi_board_info[] __initdata = { |
| 181 | + { |
| 182 | + .modalias = "cs8415a", /* Name of spi_driver for this device */ |
| 183 | + .max_speed_hz = 3686400, /* Run SSP as fast a possbile */ |
| 184 | + .bus_num = 2, /* Framework bus number */ |
| 185 | + .chip_select = 0, /* Framework chip select */ |
| 186 | + .platform_data = NULL; /* No spi_driver specific config */ |
| 187 | + .controller_data = &cs8415a_chip_info, /* Master chip config */ |
| 188 | + .irq = STREETRACER_APCI_IRQ, /* Slave device interrupt */ |
| 189 | + }, |
| 190 | + { |
| 191 | + .modalias = "cs8405a", /* Name of spi_driver for this device */ |
| 192 | + .max_speed_hz = 3686400, /* Run SSP as fast a possbile */ |
| 193 | + .bus_num = 2, /* Framework bus number */ |
| 194 | + .chip_select = 1, /* Framework chip select */ |
| 195 | + .controller_data = &cs8405a_chip_info, /* Master chip config */ |
| 196 | + .irq = STREETRACER_APCI_IRQ, /* Slave device interrupt */ |
| 197 | + }, |
| 198 | +}; |
| 199 | + |
| 200 | +static void __init streetracer_init(void) |
| 201 | +{ |
| 202 | + spi_register_board_info(streetracer_spi_board_info, |
| 203 | + ARRAY_SIZE(streetracer_spi_board_info)); |
| 204 | +} |
| 205 | + |
| 206 | + |
| 207 | +DMA and PIO I/O Support |
| 208 | +----------------------- |
| 209 | +The pxa2xx_spi driver support both DMA and interrupt driven PIO message |
| 210 | +transfers. The driver defaults to PIO mode and DMA transfers must enabled by |
| 211 | +setting the "enable_dma" flag in the "pxa2xx_spi_master" structure and and |
| 212 | +ensuring that the "pxa2xx_spi_chip.dma_burst_size" field is non-zero. The DMA |
| 213 | +mode support both coherent and stream based DMA mappings. |
| 214 | + |
| 215 | +The following logic is used to determine the type of I/O to be used on |
| 216 | +a per "spi_transfer" basis: |
| 217 | + |
| 218 | +if !enable_dma or dma_burst_size == 0 then |
| 219 | + always use PIO transfers |
| 220 | + |
| 221 | +if spi_message.is_dma_mapped and rx_dma_buf != 0 and tx_dma_buf != 0 then |
| 222 | + use coherent DMA mode |
| 223 | + |
| 224 | +if rx_buf and tx_buf are aligned on 8 byte boundary then |
| 225 | + use streaming DMA mode |
| 226 | + |
| 227 | +otherwise |
| 228 | + use PIO transfer |
| 229 | + |
