=== USB3.0 On-The-Go (OTG) ===
 +
 +
CM-T54 has USB DWC3 (XHCI) based controller. It features SuperSpeed (SS) USB 3.0 Dual-Role-Device (DRD) subsystem with integrated SS (USB3.0) PHY and HS/FS (USB2.0) PHY.
 +
 +
CM-T54 OTG port is USB host and USB device (gadget) capable. OTG Gadget drivers are compiled as modules with default CM-T54 kernel configuration.
 +
 +
Current Linux kernel support of DWC3 features does not allow dynamic role (host/device) switching in runtime. By default, ''device'' role is assigned to CM-T54 USB3.0 OTG port.
 +
 +
Host mode can be enabled by adjusting U-Boot environment variable:
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
CM-T54 # setenv mmcloadfdt 'load mmc ${mmcdev} ${fdtaddr} ${fdtfile}; fdt addr ${fdtaddr}; fdt set /ocp/omap_dwc3/dwc3/ dr_mode host;'
 +
CM-T54 # saveenv
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
* To enable the default device mode modify U-Boot environment variable:
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
CM-T54 # setenv mmcloadfdt 'load mmc ${mmcdev} ${fdtaddr} ${fdtfile};'
 +
CM-T54 # saveenv
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
==== Testing OTG device (gadget) mode ====

Using Debian Linux on CM-T54

Connection and Logging In

Use the following username and password to login:

Account with administrative privileges: 

cm-debian login: root
Password: 111111

Regular user account: 

cm-debian login: user	
Password: 111111

To login into the Linux system, you may use a serial console (ttyO3) at 115200 bps, or connect through the network, or use a keyboard and HDMI display.

Networking

To configure networking, edit /etc/network/interfaces, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts. For more information about Debian Linux network configuration read Network setup chapter in the Debian Reference.

X Windows system

CompuLab distribution contains full featured X Windows system with Fluxbox window manager. Before starting X Windows, connect USB mouse and keyboard to the system. You can run X Windows by typing startx.

Fluxbox window manager

CM-T54 Debian Linux features installed Fluxbox package - a lightweight window manager for the X Windowing System.

  • Fluxbox provides configurable window decorations, a root menu to launch applications and a toolbar that shows the current workspace name, a set of application names and the current time. There is also a workspace menu which allows you to add or remove workspaces. The slit can be used to dock small applications, e.g. most of the bbtools can use slit.
  • Fluxbox can iconify windows to the toolbar, in addition to adding the window to the Icons submenu of the workspace menu.

Visit Fluxbox Wiki and Official home page for more details.

Software Management

Debian Linux image for CM-T54 includes all the information required to use Debian package management utilities. You can use apt-get and dpkg out of the box.

HDMI Audio

CM-T54 provides a digital HDMI audio interface, which is registered as a standard ALSA sound card. If the default CM-T54 configuration is used, the audio drivers are loaded automatically in the boot process.

Since the HDMI audio card is the default one in the Linux for CM-T54, the following command can be used for audio play back: 

root@cm-debian:~# aplay <wav-file>

Analog Audio

CM-T54 provides the analog audio interface, which is registered as a standard ALSA sound card. If the default CM-T54 configuration is used, the audio drivers are loaded automatically in the boot process.
aplay -l shows list of all soundcards and digital audio devices registered on the system. Here is a sample aplay -l output. 

root@cm-debian:~# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: OMAP4HDMI [OMAP4HDMI], device 0: HDMI hdmi-hifi-0 []
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: wm8731audio [wm8731-audio], device 0: WM8731 PCM wm8731-hifi-0 []
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

The 'card 1' is the analog audio device.

Analog Audio Settings

To enable the Analog audio playback, alsamixer or amixer applications can be used.

  • alsamixer - set the “Output Mixer HiFi” control on.

or

  • amixer - set the “Output Mixer HiFi Playback Switch” control on using command line interface:
# amixer -c 1 cset numid=14,iface=MIXER,name='Output Mixer HiFi Playback Switch' on
# alsactl store wm8731audio

Analog Audio Playback

In order to play back a sound file make use of the aplay application.

  • aplay -L can be used for listing of all pcm devices.

Here is a sample output of aplay -L command: 

root@cm-debian:~# aplay -L
null
    Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
default:CARD=OMAP4HDMI
    OMAP4HDMI, 
    Default Audio Device
sysdefault:CARD=OMAP4HDMI
    OMAP4HDMI, 
    Default Audio Device
default:CARD=wm8731audio
    wm8731-audio, 
    Default Audio Device
sysdefault:CARD=wm8731audio
    wm8731-audio, 
    Default Audio Device

The next command can be used for audio play back: 

root@cm-debian:~# aplay -D sysdefault:CARD=wm8731audio <wav-file>

The above command makes use of the wm8731 audio codec and passes the audio signal to the audio out connector (J5 on SB-T54).

Recording Audio

CM-T54 provides recording audio signal from either “Line In” or “Mic In” sources. The arecord application can be used for capturing audio signal. arecord -L shows all devices that can be used for audio capturing.
The below list of devices is shown on a CM-T54 module: 

root@cm-debian:~# arecord -L
null
    Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
default:CARD=wm8731audio
    wm8731-audio, 
    Default Audio Device
sysdefault:CARD=wm8731audio
    wm8731-audio, 
    Default Audio Device

Audio Input Settings

CM-T54 provides an audio capturing feature from either Mic or Line In input sources. alsamixer or amixer can be used in order to switch between these inputs.

Mic
  • Using alsamixer
Set Input Mux playback control to Mic state
Set Mic Boost playback control to the highest state
Set Mic capture control to CAPTURE state
  • Using amixer
root@cm-debian:~# amixer -c 1 cset numid=11,iface=MIXER,name='Input Mux' 1
root@cm-debian:~# amixer -c 1 cset numid=5,iface=MIXER,name='Mic Boost Volume' 1
root@cm-debian:~# amixer -c 1 cset numid=6,iface=MIXER,name='Mic Capture Switch' 1
Line In
  • Using alsamixer
Set Input Mux playback control to Line In state
Set Line capture control to CAPTURE state
  • Using amixer
root@cm-debian:~# amixer -c 1 cset numid=11,iface=MIXER,name='Input Mux' 0
root@cm-debian:~# amixer -c 1 cset numid=4,iface=MIXER,name='Line Capture Switch' 1

Sample Audio Recording

As soon as the correct input values have been set, audio signal can be captured.
Here is a sample command that shows the arecord usage for capturing audio signal from the selected input line. 

root@cm-debian:~# arecord -D sysdefault:CARD=wm8731audio -f cd -t wav /tmp/out.wav

Touchscreen

CM-T54 Evaluation Kit is equipped with Startek KD050C LCD 800x480 LCD touch panel. The touchscreen driver is modularized if you use default CM-T54 configuration and is loaded by udev automatically on Linux boot. If the touchscreen driver is not loaded, the following command will load the touchscreen driver: 

modprobe ads7846

The X Windows system of CM-T54 uses tslib X server input driver to get the input from the touchscreen.

Touchscreen calibration

A touchscreen device can be calibrated using xinput_calibrator utility.

To calibrate the touchscreen:

  • Run X Server by issuing startx command
  • Make sure the touchscreen driver is loaded as described in Touchscreen section
  • Set the DISPLAY environment variable: 
     export DISPLAY=:0
  • Run xinput_calibrator utility. For proper calibration you are required to touch the touchscreen corners and center in the following order: top-left, top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left, center.
  • Create a file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf and paste there a snippet with the calibration results:
root@cm-debian:~# xinput_calibrator 
	Setting calibration data: 0, 4095, 0, 4095
Calibrating EVDEV driver for "ADS7846 Touchscreen" id=6
	current calibration values (from XInput): min_x=0, max_x=4095 and min_y=0, max_y=4095

Doing dynamic recalibration:
	Setting calibration data: 289, 3781, 3887, 227
	--> Making the calibration permanent <--
  copy the snippet below into '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf' (/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ in some distro's)
Section "InputClass"
	Identifier	"calibration"
	MatchProduct	"ADS7846 Touchscreen"
	Option	"Calibration"	"289 3781 3887 227"
	Option	"SwapAxes"	"0"
EndSection

MMC/SD

The support for MMC/SD card on CM-T54 is built into the Linux kernel. To mount the memory card, monitor /proc/partitions to see what partitions were detected on the MMC/SD card. For example, suppose MMC/SD partition you'd like to mount is mmcblk0p1 then: 

mkdir -p /mnt/mmcblk0p1 && mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/mmcblk0p1


USB3.0 On-The-Go (OTG)

CM-T54 has USB DWC3 (XHCI) based controller. It features SuperSpeed (SS) USB 3.0 Dual-Role-Device (DRD) subsystem with integrated SS (USB3.0) PHY and HS/FS (USB2.0) PHY.

CM-T54 OTG port is USB host and USB device (gadget) capable. OTG Gadget drivers are compiled as modules with default CM-T54 kernel configuration.

Current Linux kernel support of DWC3 features does not allow dynamic role (host/device) switching in runtime. By default, device role is assigned to CM-T54 USB3.0 OTG port.

Host mode can be enabled by adjusting U-Boot environment variable: 

CM-T54 # setenv mmcloadfdt 'load mmc ${mmcdev} ${fdtaddr} ${fdtfile}; fdt addr ${fdtaddr}; fdt set /ocp/omap_dwc3/dwc3/ dr_mode host;'
CM-T54 # saveenv
  • To enable the default device mode modify U-Boot environment variable:
CM-T54 # setenv mmcloadfdt 'load mmc ${mmcdev} ${fdtaddr} ${fdtfile};'
CM-T54 # saveenv

Testing OTG device (gadget) mode

Default CM-T54 kernel configuration enables g_serial, g_file_storage, g_ether and g_hid gadget drivers. More gadget drivers can be enabled in the kernel configuration.

  • Connect USB3.0 OTG micro B-cable (ID pin Float) to P16 USB OTG port of SB-T54 baseboard (not included in CM-T54 eval kit).
  • Connect other side Standard-A connector to Linux Host PC USB3.0 port.
Emulate a serial link
  • Load gadget driver on CM-T54 eval board:
root@cm-debian:~# modprobe g_serial
g_serial gadget: Gadget Serial v2.4
g_serial gadget: g_serial ready
g_serial gadget: super-speed config #2: CDC ACM config
  • Ensure the connection is established on the Host PC:
