General Purpose Input and Output
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To make MINIX more usable on embedded hardware we need some way to access the
|
|||
|
|
GPIO features of the system on chip’s. Generally System on Chips (SoC) designs
|
|||
|
|
provide some way configure pads to perform basic Input/Output configuration on
|
|||
|
|
selected ports. These ports are also usually grouped into a bank. The end
|
|||
|
|
result is that you have a functional general input output block where you need
|
|||
|
|
to configure some the following functions.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Functional requirements
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We envision that the short term usage of the GPIO library will be booth input
|
|||
|
|
and output handling. Input handling as we want to be able to listen to button
|
|||
|
|
presses and genrate key events and output handling because we want to be able
|
|||
|
|
to control leds.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
GPIO required functionality
|
|||
|
|
-Configure pins as input or output.
|
|||
|
|
-Configure the impedance of the pins.
|
|||
|
|
-Get or set the values of the pins(possibly in a single call).
|
|||
|
|
-Configure interrupt levels for input pins.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Configure debouncing of pins.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Additional kernel requirements
|
|||
|
|
-Manage the GPIO resources (who may access what)
|
|||
|
|
-Access the GPIO pins from within driver (for the keyboard)
|
|||
|
|
-Access the GPIO pins from within userland (for toggeling leds)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Usage:
|
|||
|
|
You have to manualy mount the gpio fs using the following command
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# mount -t gpio none /gpio
|
|||
|
