IOT-GATE-iMX8 / SBC-IOT-iMX8 can be optionally assembled with the industrial I/O add-on board.
The industrial I/O add-on features up-to three separate I/O modules which allow to implement different combinations of isolated CAN, RS485, RS232, digital outputs and inputs.

CAN

CAN bus modules can be installed in I/O add-on slots A or B.
CAN bus modules support both CAN 2.0B and CAN FD standards. Maximum supported data rate is 8Mbps (in CAN FD mode).

CAN interface configuration

  • Configure the CAN interface bit-rate to 1 Mbits/sec:
root@iot-gate-imx8:~# ip link set can0 type can bitrate 1000000
  • Enable the CAN interface:
root@iot-gate-imx8:~# ip link set can0 up

Send/Receive packets

Use cansend and candump utilities to send and receive packets via CAN interface.

  • Send standard CAN frame (on the first device):
root@iot-gate-imx8:~# cansend can0 111#1122334455667788
  • Send extended CAN frame (on the first device):
root@iot-gate-imx8:~# cansend can0 11111111#1122334455667788
  • CAN frames (extended mode) generator, random payload, interval between two successive flames 50 msec:
root@iot-gate-imx8:~# cangen -g 50 -e -D r -v can0
can: raw protocol (rev 20170425)

RS232

RS232 modules can be installed in I/O slots A or B.
The module implements RS232 interface without hardware flow control.
The interface device in Linux:

  • I/O module A: /dev/ttymxc1
  • I/O module B: /dev/ttymxc3

RS485

RS485 modules can be installed in I/O module A or B.
The module implements a half-duplex RS485 interface.
The interface device in Linux:

  • I/O module A: /dev/ttymxc1
  • I/O module B: /dev/ttymxc3

Digital I/O

The digital I/O module can be installed in I/O module C. The module implements 4 digital input and 4 digital output signals.
These signals are controlled using the following GPIOs:

  • IN0: GPIO3_0, pin number 64
  • IN1: GPIO3_1, pin number 65
  • IN2: GPIO3_6, pin number 70
  • IN3: GPIO3_7, pin number 71
  • OUT0: GPIO3_8, pin number 72
  • OUT1: GPIO3_9, pin number 73
  • OUT2: external GPIO (PCA9555) 9, pin number 505
  • OUT3: external GPIO (PCA9555) 10, pin number 506

Read Digital input

Use the following command to read the value of IN0: 

root@iot-gate-imx8:~# gpioget 2 0

Set Digital output

Use the following command to set the value of OUT0: 

root@iot-gate-imx8:~# gpioset 2 8=1

Analog Input

Analog 4–20mA input modules can be installed in I/O slots A or B.
The module detect the current level between 4 to 20 mA.

Use the following command to load the kernel object: 

root@iot-gate-imx8:~# modprobe max11108

Read the Detected Value

Use the following command to read the current detected value: 

root@iot-gate-imx8:~# cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_voltage_raw

Values range:
