2. Prerequisites[edit source]
2.1. Hardware prerequisites[edit source]
- STM32MP157C-DK2
For more information about the STM32 discovery board and how to start it up, see section: Getting_started/STM32MP1_boards/STM32MP157x-DK2
- IKS01Ax expansion boards
2.2. Software prerequisites[edit source]
The STM32MP157C-DK2 board must be downloaded with the appropriate software in order to support IKS01Ax expansion board. For proceeding, follow the step-by-step instructions provided at STM32MP157C-DK2 Let's start.
3. Software customization to support IKS01Ax expansion board[edit source]
The STM32MP157C-DK2 Linux software must be configured to activate the IKS01Ax board connected on top of the STM32MP157C-DK2 board.
The configuration consists in modifying the STM32MP157C-DK2 Linux kernel and managing some new device tree elements.
3.1. Kernel configuration[edit source]
By default, the motion MEMS drivers present on IKS01Ax expansion board are enabled in STM32MP1 kernel configuration: HTS221, pressure(LP22HB) and LSM6DSx. The device tree must be updated to declare and activate them.
To check whether associated drivers are enabled inside the kernel, type the commands provided below:
cat /proc/config.gz | gunzip | grep HTS221 CONFIG_HTS221=y CONFIG_HTS221_I2C=y CONFIG_HTS221_SPI=y
cat /proc/config.gz | gunzip | grep ST_PRESS CONFIG_IIO_ST_PRESS=m CONFIG_IIO_ST_PRESS_I2C=m CONFIG_IIO_ST_PRESS_SPI=m
cat /proc/config.gz | gunzip | grep ST_LSM6DS CONFIG_IIO_ST_LSM6DSX=m CONFIG_IIO_ST_LSM6DSX_I2C=m CONFIG_IIO_ST_LSM6DSX_SPI=m
3.2. Kernel device tree configuration[edit source]
3.2.1. Hardware / software interface[edit source]
The HTS221 and LSM6DSx motion MEMS present on IKS01Ax expansion board are involved in use cases, such as, measurement of temperature, measurement of humidity, read Accelerometer / Gyroscope data.
According to IKS01A2 user manual[1] and IKS01A3 user manual[2], both motion MEMS are controlled by I2C bus.
In the schematics of IKS01A2 [3] and STM32MP157C-DK2[4] presented below, the pins that are interconnected are highlighted.
- IKS01A2 schematic (Arduino connector) [3]
- Pins 10 and 9 of CN5 are used for I2C Bus (SDA and SCL) (I2C1 and I2C2 bus instances are mixed via JP7 and JP8 jumpers).
- Pins 6 and 5 of CN9 are used to manage interruptions on LSM6DSL motion MEMS (indicated for information: not used on kernel configuration).
- STM32MP157C-DK2 schematic (Arduino connector) [4]
- Pins 10 and 9 of CN5 are used for I2C Bus (I2C5_SDA and I2C5_SCL).
- Pins 6 and 5 of CN14 are used to manage interruptions on LSM6DSL motion MEMS (indicated for information: not used on kernel configuration).
3.2.2. Kernel device tree configuration[edit source]
As indicated in the previous section, the IKS01Ax expansion board is controlled via I2C bus. On STM32MP157C-DK2, the associated I2C bus is I2C5.
The I2C5 bus must be activated into STM32MP157C-DK2 device tree and a node must be added for each hardware to be supported (see entries such as hts221, as shown in the device tree content example below).
To perform this, create stm32mp157c-dk2-iks01ax.dtb file with the following content:
| IKS01A2 expansion board | IKS01A3 expansion board |
/dts-v1/;
#include "stm32mp157c-dk2.dts"
&i2c5 {
status = "okay";
hts221@5f {
compatible = "st,hts221";
reg = <0x5f>;
};
lsm6dsl@6b {
compatible = "st,lsm6dsl";
reg = <0x6b>;
};
};
|
/dts-v1/;
#include "stm32mp157c-dk2.dts"
&i2c5 {
status = "okay";
hts221@5f {
compatible = "st,hts221";
reg = <0x5f>;
};
lsm6dso@6b {
compatible = "st,lsm6dso";
reg = <0x6b>;
};
};
|
Do not forget to update arch/arm/boot/dts/Makefile to add this DT in the compilation list.
3.3. Activate the new configuration in the STM32MP157C-DK2 board[edit source]
- Prerequisites: The device tree and the Linux kernel must have been regenerated. If not done yet, follow the indications given in Modify, rebuild and reload the Linux® kernel
- Add the two generated files in the board file system, precisely in the bootfs partition (/boot directory)
ls -1 /boot/stm32*dk2* /boot/stm32mp157c-dk2-a7-examples.dtb /boot/stm32mp157c-dk2-iks01ax.dtb /boot/stm32mp157c-dk2-m4-examples.dtb /boot/stm32mp157c-dk2.dtb
- Add a new entry in stm32mp157c-dk2_extlinux.conf file located in /boot/mmc0_extlinux/. If the mmc0_<something> directory is not available, add the new entry in /boot/mmc0_extlinux/extlinux.conf.
