Device Tree

Available Device Tree Files

The current release includes the following dtb files:

DTB Hardware Configuration and Features Jumpers/Connectors Settings
sbc-mcm-imx93.dtb default hardware configuration + lvds display visit Connector Locations

Set device tree

The current release provides two methods to switch between dtb files:

  • U-Boot environment

The U-boot fdtfile variable contains the device tree name that will be loaded into the RAM. This variable can be changed by:

Environment Command
U-Boot setenv fdtfile <fdt_file_name>; saveenv;
Linux fw_setenv fdtfile <fdt_file_name>
  • GRUB environment (if the image was created with the meta-compulab-uefi layer)
Environment Command/Procedure
GRUB Boot Menu Goto "Advanced Boot Options" and choose a device tree from the provided dtb list.
Linux grub-editenv /boot/grub/grubenv set fdtfile=<fdt_file_name>

Serial Console

MCM-iMX93 provides serial console on UART1.
SBC-MCM93 carrier-board exposes the console UART via CP2104 serial-to-USB bridge on connector P3 depicted here

Connecting to a host PC

  1. Use a micro-USB cable to connect the console to an USB port on your host PC.
  2. Make sure the CP2104 driver is available with your operating system, otherwise install CP2104 driver onto the host PC from https://www.silabs.com/documents/public/software/CP210x_Windows_Drivers_with_Serial_Enumeration.zip
  3. Identify the host PC interface and port number that will be used for communication with the MCM-iMX93 evaluation kit:
    • In most Linux PCs, the serial port will be denoted as one of the following (where n is a positive integer): /dev/ttyUSB0, /dev/ttyUSB1 ... /dev/ttyUSBn
    • In Windows PCs, the serial port usually will be denoted as one of the following (where n is a positive integer): COM1, COM2 ... COMn
  4. Start a terminal emulation program (such as PuTTY on Windows or minicom on Linux).
  5. In the port configuration section of the terminal emulation program select the port identified in previous step and set the following serial port parameters:
Baud Rate Data Bits Stop Bits Parity Flow Control
115200 8 1 none none

Display

LVDS

The MCM-iMX93 evaluation kit can be optionally supplied with the Startec KD070HDTLA020 7" LVDS LCD panel.
Use the EB-HDRLVDS adapter to connect the LCD panel (if ordered with the kit) to connectors P13 and P14 as depicted in Connector Locations . Check the Linux device node for information about the display, such as its supported modes and its current configuration.

udevadm info -ap /sys/class/drm/card0-LVDS-1

Display Manager

MCM-iMX93 Yocto uses Weston as the default display manager. It can be configured in /etc/xdg/weston/weston.ini.
For example the transform setting can be set to rotate-90, rotate-180, rotate-270, or commented out.
In order to apply the configuration, you need to:

systemctl restart weston

Allow up to a minute to connect to wireless network and make sure modem state is connected:

mmcli -m 0

To test the wireless interface run:

ping -c 5 dns.google -I wwan0

UART

The following table outlines default UART routing when MCM-iMX93 is used with the SBC-MCM93 carrier-board:

MCM-iMX93 port Linux device on SBC-MCM93 carrier-board pinout
UART3 /dev/ttyLP2 100-mil header P20 2-rx, 4-tx
UART5 /dev/ttyLP4 100-mil header P19 4-tx, 2-rx, 3-rts, 6-cts

Example: testing UART5

  • Short RX and TX pins on SBC-MCM93 to create a loop-back.
  • Run the following commands:
stty -F /dev/ttyLP4 1:0:1cb2:0:3:1c:7f:15:4:5:1:0:11:13:1a:0:12:f:17:16:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0
cat /dev/ttyLP4 &
echo hello > /dev/ttyLP4

The "hello" string should appear on the terminal.

I2C

The following I2C buses and devices are present when MCM-iMX93 is used with the SBC-MCM93 carrier-board:

Device I2C bus in Linux Address HW port in MCM-iMX93
user I2C on connector P16
pins: 3-sda, 5-scl
5 NA I2C6

To list all mapped devices:

ls /proc/device-tree/soc@0/bus@*/i2c@*/*@* -d -w 1                                                                                                         

Note how:

  • each node is appended with its address.
  • I2C buses order corresponds to the order of their addresses.

e.g. to inspect bus 0, in which we have RTC, run:

# i2cdetect -y 0
     0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  a  b  c  d  e  f
00:                         -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
50: 50 51 52 53 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- UU -- -- -- -- -- -- 
70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --                         

In the above output numbers mark unused devices, UU marks a device that is used by a driver.

Indeed we see RTC in use at offset 0x69.

An example how to dump EEPROM contents:

hexdump -C /sys/devices/platform/soc@0/44000000.bus/44340000.i2c/i2c-0/0-0050/eeprom

SPI

SBC-MCM93 carrier-board exposes SPI3 port on 10-mil header P15.

ECSPI3_MOSI - pin 3
ECSPI3_SCLK - pin 5
ECSPI3_MISO - pin 2
ECSPI3_SSO - pin 4 

Loopback example:

Short MOSI and MISO pins.

Compile test tool:

${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc ./tools/spi/spidev_test.c -o ./spidev_test

Copy the spidev_test binary to the SoM.


On the module, run:

./spidev_test -v -D /dev/spidev0.0 -p "hello"

You should see RX same as TX.

GPIO

SBC-MCM93 carrier-board provides the following MCM-iMX93 GPIOs on 100-mil header P18.

Signal Name pin GPIO # in sysfs
GPIO_IO18 2 32+18
GPIO2_21 3 96+21
GPIO_IO24 5 32+24
GPIO_IO26 7 32+26
GPIO_IO22 9 32+22

Example: controlling pin GPIO_IO18

Exporting the pin in sysfs

cd /sys/class/gpio/
echo $((32+18)) > export

Now pin GPIO_IO18 is assigned to sysfs. You can view the newly created entry in line 18 by running:

gpioinfo 0

Writing to a pin

cd /sys/class/gpio/gpio$((32+18))

Set pin direction to output:

echo out > direction

Set pin value to high or low:

echo 1 > value 
echo 0 > value

Reading from a pin

cd /sys/class/gpio/gpio$((32+18))

Set pin direction to input:

echo in > direction

Read the value of the pin from the value file:

cat value

ADC

i.MX93 SoC features integrated 12 bit analog to digital converter.
To use the ADC, enable it in device tree e.g. in arch/arm64/boot/dts/compulab/sbc-mcm-imx93.dts:

&adc1 {
       vref-supply = <&reg_vref_1v8>;
       status = "okay";
};

Sysfs device controls will appear in:

cd /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device0/

SBC-MCM93 exposes ADC signals on 100-mil header P9.

Signal Name pin on P9 sysfs file
ADC_IN0 2 in_voltage0_raw
ADC_IN1 4 in_voltage1_raw
ADC_IN2 6 in_voltage2_raw
ADC_IN3 3 in_voltage3_raw

For example, to read voltage from P9-2 run:

cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device0/in_voltage0_raw

Expected output is a value in range 0 - 4095 which spans over the voltage range 0 - 1.8V

Suspend / Resume

Admolition note.png The following operation requires root access.

MCM-iMX93 features suspend mode, which allows to minimize power consumption.

The following command should be used to enter suspend mode:

echo mem >/sys/power/state

To resume normal operation press shortly the power button SW4.

CPU temperature

i.MX93 SoC features an internal temperature sensor which allows to measure the SoC temperature. Execute the following command to read the current CPU temperature:

cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp

RTC

MCM-iMX93 features two RTC devices:

  • i.MX93 internal RTC (rtc0) - can be used as wake-up source
  • AB1805 external RTC (rtc1) - can be used for low current battery powered time keeper

Internal RTC - rtc0

System information:
