= Serial Console =
 +
UCM-iMX93 provides serial console on UART1.</br>
 +
SB-UCMIMX93 evaluation carrier-board exposes the console UART via CP2104 serial-to-USB bridge on connector [[UCM-iMX93: Evaluation Kit: Hardware Guide#Connector_Locations | '''P16''']].
 +
== Connecting to a host PC ==
 +
# Use a micro-USB cable to connect the console connector '''P16''' to a USB port on your host PC.
 +
# 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
 +
# Identify the host PC interface and port number that will be used for communication with the UCM-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
 +
# Start a terminal emulation program (such as [https://www.putty.org/ PuTTY] on Windows or minicom on Linux).
 +
# In the port configuration section of the terminal emulation program select the port identified in previous step and set the following serial port parameters:

=Display=
 +
==MIPI-DSI==
 +
The UCM-iMX93 evaluation kit includes the Startec KD050HDFIA 5" MIPI-DSI LCD panel.
 +
 +
Connect the MIPI-DSI display to connectors [[UCM-iMX93: Evaluation Kit: Hardware Guide#Connector_Locations | '''P11''' and '''P12''']] on the SB-UCMIMX93 carrier-board.
 +
 +
The MIPI-DSI display is described in the following device tree include file (included in the default '''ucm-imx93.dtb''' device tree): ''arch/arm64/boot/dts/compulab/ucm-imx93-mipi.dtsi''
 +
<!--

 +
* soc side - soc@0/dsi@4ae10000
 +
* display device - soc@0/dsi@4ae10000/panel@0
 +
driver can be found by the compatibility string i.e.
 +
cat /proc/device-tree/soc@0/dsi@4ae10000/compatible
 +
cat /proc/device-tree/soc@0/dsi@4ae10000/panel@0/compatible
 +
-->
 +
The Linux device node for the MIPI-DSI display:
 +
/sys/class/drm/card0/card0-DSI-1/
 +
This device node contains information about the display, such as its supported modes and its current configuration.
 +
 +
==LVDS==
 +
SB-UCMIMX93 supports direct connection with the Startec KD070HDTLA020 7" LVDS LCD panel.
 +
Connect the display data cable to connector [[UCM-iMX93: Evaluation Kit: Hardware Guide#Connector_Locations | '''P7''']].
 +
Connect the display touch-panel cable to connector [[UCM-iMX93: Evaluation Kit: Hardware Guide#Connector_Locations | '''P8''']].
 +
 +
LVDS display requires the following device tree: '''ucm-imx93-lvds.dts'''.
 +
 +
The Linux device node for the display is described in: ''arch/arm64/boot/dts/compulab/ucm-imx93-lvds.dtsi''.
 +
 +
==Display Manager==
 +
UCM-iMX93 Yocto uses Weston as the default display manager. It can be configured in ''/etc/xdg/weston/weston.ini''.</br>
 +
For example the transform setting can be set to rotate-90, rotate-180, rotate-270, or commented out.</br>
 +
In order to apply the configuration, you need to restart the weston display manager:
 +
systemctl stop weston
 +
systemctl start weston
 +
 +
=Camera=
 +
The UCM-iMX93 evaluation kit supports the e-con e-CAM131_CUMI1335_MOD 13MP 4K camera module.</br>
 +
Connect the camera to connector [[UCM-iMX93: Evaluation Kit: Hardware Guide#Connector_Locations | '''P9''']] on the SB-UCMIMX93 carrier-board.
 +
 +
The following device tree file should be used for camera operation: '''ucm-imx93-mipi-csi.dtb'''
 +
 +
Verify that the '''mxc-isi-cap''' driver is registered correctly:
 +
<pre>
 +
root@ucm-imx93:~# v4l2-ctl --list-devices
 +

Device Tree

Available Device Tree Files

The current release includes the following dtb files:

DTB Hardware Configuration and Features Jumpers/Connectors Settings
ucm-imx93.dtb default hardware configuration + mipi dsi display P11/P12 mipi iface/touch is in use
ucm-imx93-lvds.dtb default hardware configuration + lvds display P7/P8 lvds iface/touch is in use
ucm-imx93-headless.dtb default hardware configuration w/out any display

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

UCM-iMX93 provides serial console on UART1.
SB-UCMIMX93 evaluation carrier-board exposes the console UART via CP2104 serial-to-USB bridge on connector P16.

Connecting to a host PC

  1. Use a micro-USB cable to connect the console connector P16 to a 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 UCM-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

MIPI-DSI

The UCM-iMX93 evaluation kit includes the Startec KD050HDFIA 5" MIPI-DSI LCD panel.

Connect the MIPI-DSI display to connectors P11 and P12 on the SB-UCMIMX93 carrier-board.

The MIPI-DSI display is described in the following device tree include file (included in the default ucm-imx93.dtb device tree): arch/arm64/boot/dts/compulab/ucm-imx93-mipi.dtsi The Linux device node for the MIPI-DSI display: 

/sys/class/drm/card0/card0-DSI-1/

This device node contains information about the display, such as its supported modes and its current configuration.

LVDS

SB-UCMIMX93 supports direct connection with the Startec KD070HDTLA020 7" LVDS LCD panel. Connect the display data cable to connector P7. Connect the display touch-panel cable to connector P8.

LVDS display requires the following device tree: ucm-imx93-lvds.dts.

The Linux device node for the display is described in: arch/arm64/boot/dts/compulab/ucm-imx93-lvds.dtsi.

Display Manager

UCM-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 restart the weston display manager: 

systemctl stop weston
systemctl start weston

Camera

The UCM-iMX93 evaluation kit supports the e-con e-CAM131_CUMI1335_MOD 13MP 4K camera module.
Connect the camera to connector P9 on the SB-UCMIMX93 carrier-board.

The following device tree file should be used for camera operation: ucm-imx93-mipi-csi.dtb

Verify that the mxc-isi-cap driver is registered correctly: 

root@ucm-imx93:~# v4l2-ctl --list-devices
mxc-isi-cap (platform:4ae40000.isi:cap_devic):
        /dev/video0

FSL Capture Media Device (platform:mxc-md):
        /dev/media0

The camera device tree nodes are described in: arch/arm64/boot/dts/compulab/ucm-imx93.dtsi.
The Linux video device node used for capturing: /dev/video0

Admolition note.png Before working with Bluetooth, please ensure that Bluetooth antenna is connected to the SOM.


To start bluetoothctl use the following command: 

bluetoothctl

To start the scan process use the following commands: 

[bluetooth]# default-agent
[bluetooth]# power on
[bluetooth]# scan on

Bluetooth device should be turned on and visible. Its MAC-adress and name should appear in bluetoothctl in following format: 

[CHG] Device AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF Name: Device_Name

To pair with the Bluetooth device use the following command: 

pair AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF

Where AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF is MAC-adress of the Bluetooth device.

To quit bluetoothctl use the following command: 

[Device_Name]# quit

UART

The following table outlines default UART routing when UCM-iMX93 is used with the SB-UCMIMX93 carrier-board:

UCM-iMX93 port Linux device on SB-UCMIMX93 carrier-board
UART1 /dev/ttyLP0 converted to serial-over-USB debug console, micro-USB connector P16
UART2 /dev/ttyLP1 converted to RS232, DB9 connector P17
UART5 /dev/ttyLP4 routed to 100-mil header P3
UART7 /dev/ttyLP6 converted to RS485, terminal block J22

Example: testing UART5

  • Short pin P3-1 (UART5-RX) with P3-3 (UART5-TX) on SB-UCMIMX93 to create a loop-back.
  • Run the following commands:
# stty -F /dev/ttyLP4 115200
# 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 UCM-iMX93 is used with the SB-UCMIMX93 carrier-board:

Device I2C bus in Linux Address HW port in UCM-iMX93
UCM-iMX93 EEPROM 0 0x50 I2C1 (internal)
UCM-iMX93 RTC 0 0x69 I2C1 (internal)
UCM-iMX93 PMIC 1 0x25 I2C2 (internal)
GPIO extender on SB-UCMIMX93 for on-board control signals 2 0x20 I2C3
Camera module control on SB-UCMIMX93 connector P9 2 0x42 I2C3
SB-UCMIMX93 EEPROM 2 0x54 I2C3
Touch-screen controller of MIPI-DSI or LVDS panel on SB-UCMIMX93 connector P8 or P12 2 0x5d I2C3

To list all mapped devices: 

# ls /proc/device-tree/soc@0/bus@*/i2c@*/*@* -d -w 1                                                                                                         
/proc/device-tree/soc@0/bus@42000000/i2c@42530000/goodix@5d
/proc/device-tree/soc@0/bus@42000000/i2c@42530000/mipi2@42
/proc/device-tree/soc@0/bus@42000000/i2c@42530000/pca9555@20
/proc/device-tree/soc@0/bus@44000000/i2c@44340000/rtc@69
/proc/device-tree/soc@0/bus@44000000/i2c@44350000/pmic@25

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

port # name pin
3 MOSI p3.14
3 clk p3.16

This command will list all of the SPI devices on the system: 

root@ucm-imx93:~# find /proc/device-tree/ -name *spi*|grep soc
/proc/device-tree/soc@0/bus@44000000/spi@44370000

/proc/device-tree/soc@0/bus@42000000/spi@42550000

GPIO

The following signals are configured by default as general purpose GPIOs and are accessible on header P3 on the SB-UCMIMX93 carrier-board:

Signal Name On SB-UCMIMX93
GPIO_IO01 P3-1
GPIO_IO00 P3-3
GPIO_IO02 P3-5
GPIO_IO03 P3-7
GPIO_IO04 P3-20
GPIO_IO05 P3-18
GPIO_IO07 P3-6
GPIO_IO14 P5-4
GPIO_IO15 P3-2
GPIO_IO16 P3-4
GPIO_IO17 P3-19

Some GPIO signals defined in the default device tree are reserved for peripheral controls.

You can see these signals by running: 

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio
...
gpiochip1: GPIOs 64-95, parent: platform/43820080.gpio, 43820080.gpio:
gpio-64  (                    |cd                  ) in  lo IRQ ACTIVE LOW
gpio-71  (                    |regulator-usdhc2    ) out lo 
...

how to interpret the above output? in this case, chip name is gpiochip1, each GPIO is described on this format: <name> (|<description>) <direction> <current state>

To see all IOs of a chip run, e.g.: 

gpioinfo 3

The GPIOs definition is marked by "fsl,pins" property in the device tree: 

arch/arm64/boot/dts/compulab/ucm-imx93-pinctrl.dtsi

Suspend / Resume
