How to configure pinmux?

Hi，

To configure PWM01 and GPIO35 as PWM
Here are the steps:

  • Modify the file "Jetson-AGX-Series-DevKit-Pinmux-Configuration-Template.xlsm"
  • Copy the generated dtsi files to the /Linux_for_Tegra/kernel/pinmux/t19x directory.
  • Use the pinmux-dts2cfg.py tool to convert the dtsi file to a cfg file. Here are the operational commands:
    • lion@lion:~/nvidia/xavier16G-jp4.2.3/JetPack_4.2.3_Linux_GA_P2888/Linux_for_Tegra/kernel/pinmux/t19x$ python pinmux-dts2cfg.py --pinmux --mandatory_pinmux_file mandatory_pinmux.txt addr_info.txt gpio_addr_info.txt por_val.txt tegra19x-jetson_agx_devkit-pinmux.dtsi tegra19x-jetson_agx_devkit-gpio-default.dtsi 1.0 > tegra19x-mb1-pinmux-p2888-0000-a04-p2822-0000-b01.cfg

    But it will report an error.

    1. How to convert dtsi file to cfg file?
    2. How to use PWM for Xavier?

    Thanks.

    hello lk_xiang,

    1. may I have your confirmation that which JetPack release you’re working with?
      please check from release tag to check the software version, you may also refer to JetPack Archive, to check which JetPack release it was.
      for example,
    $ cat /etc/nv_tegra_release | head -1
    1. you may refer to below steps to configure PWM.
      thanks
    $ sudo -i
# echo 0 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/export 
# echo <value> > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm0/period

    hello JerryChang.

    JetPack release is R32.2.3

    nvidia@xavier:~$ cat /etc/nv_tegra_release | head -1
# R32 (release), REVISION: 2.3, GCID: 17644089, BOARD: t186ref, EABI: aarch64, DATE: Tue Nov  5 21:48:17 UTC 2019

    Thanks.

    hello lk_xiang,

    please note that,
    that mandatory file is optional now and without using mandatory file we’re able to generate the cfg without any failures.
    for example,

    $ python pinmux-dts2cfg.py --pinmux addr_info.txt gpio_addr_info.txt por_val.txt tegra19x-jetson_agx_devkit-pinmux.dtsi tegra19x-jetson_agx_devkit-gpio-default.dtsi 1.0 > galen.cfg

    even several messages shown, that configuration files still generated.

    $ ll galen.cfg 
-rw-rw-r-- 1 jerry jerry 30403 Dec 24 14:09 galen.cfg

    please refer to flashing messages to know which pinmux cfg you’re using.
    for example,

    ...
copying pinmux_config($OUT/Linux_for_Tegra/bootloader/t186ref/BCT/tegra19x-mb1-pinmux-p2888-0000-a04-p2822-0000-b01.cfg)... done.

    you may overwrite the configure files, i.e. tegra19x-mb1-pinmux-p2888-0000-a04-p2822-0000-b01.cfg
    then, perform a whole flash to update the board.
    thanks

    Thank you, JerryChang.

    I reflashed the BCT file.
    How to verify that PWM01 and GPIO35 are set to GP_PWM8 and GP_PWM5?

    6

    hello lk_xiang,

    you may dump the register values for confirmation.
    please access Xavier Technical Reference Manual from download center.
    you should check the register and review its GPIO_SF_SEL values.
    thanks

    hello JerryChang
    I use pinmux-dts2cfg.py to convert dtsi file to a cfg file,but my kernel/pinmux/t19x dir has no tegra19x-p2888_galen_devkit-pinmux.dtsi and tegra19x-p2888_galen_devkit-gpio-default.dtsi file, how can i generet the dtsi file

    hello 809656875 ,

    this is a really old discussion thread,
    please download pinmux spreadsheets to have customization, you should also initial another new thread for further supports.
    thanks
