* Device tree and external RTC @ 2007-10-03 21:00 Bruce_Leonard 2007-10-03 23:15 ` Bruce_Leonard 2007-10-04 11:21 ` Peter Korsgaard 0 siblings, 2 replies; 12+ messages in thread From: Bruce_Leonard @ 2007-10-03 21:00 UTC (permalink / raw) To: linuxppc-embedded Hi all, I'm seriously confused by how things are supposed to work now with device trees on the PowerPC arch. I'm bringing up our custom HW which is bassed on the mpc8347e, with an m41t00 RTC hanging off the i2c bus, U-boot is 1.2.0, kernel is 2.6.22. My problem is I can't get the kernel to access the RTC. It works fine in U-boot, but nothing in the kernel. Where I get confused is I'm not sure if this is something that the device tree is supposed to be telling the kernel about or if it's something that the kernel should probe for. I've turned on everything in Kconfig I can find for I2C and RTC. Here's what I think are the relavant parts of .config: <snip># CONFIG_TCG_TPM is not set CONFIG_DEVPORT=y CONFIG_I2C=y CONFIG_I2C_BOARDINFO=y CONFIG_I2C_CHARDEV=y # # I2C Algorithms # CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT=y CONFIG_I2C_ALGOPCF=y CONFIG_I2C_ALGOPCA=y # # I2C Hardware Bus support # CONFIG_I2C_ALI1535=y # CONFIG_I2C_ALI1563 is not set CONFIG_I2C_ALI15X3=y CONFIG_I2C_AMD756=y # CONFIG_I2C_AMD756_S4882 is not set CONFIG_I2C_AMD8111=y CONFIG_I2C_I801=y CONFIG_I2C_I810=y CONFIG_I2C_PIIX4=y CONFIG_I2C_MPC=y CONFIG_I2C_NFORCE2=y # CONFIG_I2C_OCORES is not set CONFIG_I2C_PARPORT_LIGHT=y CONFIG_I2C_PROSAVAGE=y # CONFIG_I2C_SAVAGE4 is not set CONFIG_I2C_SIMTEC=y CONFIG_I2C_SIS5595=y CONFIG_I2C_SIS630=y CONFIG_I2C_SIS96X=y # CONFIG_I2C_STUB is not set # CONFIG_I2C_VIA is not set CONFIG_I2C_VIAPRO=y CONFIG_I2C_VOODOO3=y # # Miscellaneous I2C Chip support # # CONFIG_SENSORS_DS1337 is not set # CONFIG_SENSORS_DS1374 is not set # CONFIG_SENSORS_EEPROM is not set # CONFIG_SENSORS_PCF8574 is not set # CONFIG_SENSORS_PCA9539 is not set # CONFIG_SENSORS_PCF8591 is not set CONFIG_SENSORS_M41T00=y # CONFIG_SENSORS_MAX6875 is not set CONFIG_I2C_DEBUG_CORE=y CONFIG_I2C_DEBUG_ALGO=y CONFIG_I2C_DEBUG_BUS=y CONFIG_I2C_DEBUG_CHIP=y <snip> # # Real Time Clock # CONFIG_RTC_LIB=y CONFIG_RTC_CLASS=y CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS=y CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE="rtc0" CONFIG_RTC_DEBUG=y # # RTC interfaces # CONFIG_RTC_INTF_SYSFS=y CONFIG_RTC_INTF_PROC=y CONFIG_RTC_INTF_DEV=y # CONFIG_RTC_INTF_DEV_UIE_EMUL is not set # CONFIG_RTC_DRV_TEST is not set # # I2C RTC drivers # CONFIG_RTC_DRV_DS1307=y # CONFIG_RTC_DRV_DS1672 is not set # CONFIG_RTC_DRV_MAX6900 is not set # CONFIG_RTC_DRV_RS5C372 is not set # CONFIG_RTC_DRV_ISL1208 is not set # CONFIG_RTC_DRV_X1205 is not set # CONFIG_RTC_DRV_PCF8563 is not set # CONFIG_RTC_DRV_PCF8583 is not set # # SPI RTC drivers # # # Platform RTC drivers # # CONFIG_RTC_DRV_DS1553 is not set # CONFIG_RTC_DRV_DS1742 is not set # CONFIG_RTC_DRV_M48T86 is not set # CONFIG_RTC_DRV_V3020 is not set # # on-CPU RTC drivers # However, I get the following error when I run hwclock --debug: hwclock from util-linux-2.12r hwclock: Open of /dev/rtc failed, errno=19: No such device. (note that the device is present with a major of 10 and a minor of 135) No usable clock interface found. Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method. When I dump out ppc_md, all the RTC functions (i.e., get_rtc_time, read_rtc_val, etc.) are all NULL. I've searched through all the device tree files that come with the kernel and I can't find any that explicitly show an external device as a child node to a SoC I2C controller but it sure seems to me that the purpose of the device tree is to describe to the kernel all the hardware in the system. Therefore it seems to me that there should be something like the following in the device tree: <snip> i2c@3000 { device_type = "i2c"; compatible = "fsl-i2c"; reg = <3000 100>; interrupts = <e 8>; interrupt-parent = < &ipic >; dfsrr; rtc@54 { device_type = "rtc"; something; something; something; } } <snip> I've googled for "device tree & rtc" and various other things that haven't poped out anything that really gives me any direction and booting_without_of.txt doesn't really help me very much because I think I'm just too dumb to understand it :-\. (Took me two days to understand the ranges filed for the PCI node :( ). So, long winded way to get to it: Am I missing something in Kconfig for the kernel or am I missing something in the device tree? Also, is there any place where things like the "dfsrr" attribute in the above device tree are described/defined? I have no idea what that's supposed to mean and conversly I don't know what things are acceptable. For example, if I need a RTC node in my device tree, what are the required attributes and what should the be set to? Any direction as to where I should be looking to figure this sort of stuff out is greatly appreciated. Sorry for the length of this post and thanks for any direction that can be provided.

Or am I completely off base here? I am having the same question about audio codecs. ALSA soc support is designed to automatically load the right drivers depending on the hardware in the device. Doesn't the device tree need to include the codec chips? These chips are hooked up with various combinations of i2s, ac97 and i2c. -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@gmail.com ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread

First, this might be either a userspace or a kernel problem. Do you have the correct device nodes? Are you using udev? Should be something like $ ls -l /dev/rtc* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Oct 4 10:44 /dev/rtc -> rtc0 crw-rw---- 1 root root 254, 0 Oct 4 10:44 /dev/rtc0 > When I dump out ppc_md, all the RTC functions (i.e., get_rtc_time, > read_rtc_val, etc.) are all NULL.

I'm gessing, examples you were looking at are in arch/powerpc/boot/dts/kuroboxH[DG].dts. For this to work you need suitable entries in arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_soc.c in the i2c_devices array. I think, patch at http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc/patch?id=13624 is exactly what you need. Having applied the above patch and booted with the new kernel and device-tree, after "cd /proc/device-tree" and calling lsprop you should see something like soc10x/i2c@80003000: name "i2c" interrupt-parent 00000001 interrupts 00000005 00000002 reg 80003000 00001000 compatible "fsl-i2c" device_type "i2c" #size-cells 00000000 #address-cells 00000001 soc10x/i2c@80003000/rtc@32: name "rtc" reg 00000032 (50) compatible "ricoh,rs5c372a" device_type "rtc" Then you should have a directory like /sys/devices/platform/fsl-i2c.0/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0032 with a link in it like lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 4 11:00 driver -> ../../../../../../bus/i2c/drivers/rtc-rs5c372 dmesg should report something like rtc-rs5c372 0-0032: rtc core: registered rtc-rs5c372 as rtc0 and rtc-rs5c372 0-0032: setting the system clock to 2007-10-04 08:44:26 (1191487466) Don't know what other messages ds1307 prints out. > Okay, I figured out that I was indeed reading the clock (should have been > using date command rather than hwclock command), so sorry for the noise. > So what is is that hwclock is trying to do that it's unhappy about? No, date is just giving you the system time, set either from rtc, or from an ntp server, or to 1.1.1970 on startup.

I'd really prefer to be using the device tree for this, but I guess as long as I have it working using configuration options in the kernel it doesn't really matter. Either way I don't have to write any special board support code for the kernel. Thanks for all the information and pointers. It's been a big help!

It's this sort of thing that isn't clearly documented anywhere, and until I'm REALLY familiar with the kernel knowing where to look is a challenge. A follow on question though. I've looked at the patch and it seems to be just adding 6 lines to an existing array in fsl_soc.c. However, I can't seem to find any array in fsl_soc.c that contains lines that the patch indicates should already be there (i.e., there's nothing in fsl_soc.c that has the word "ricoh" in it which the patch indicates it should). Is my fsl_soc.c already out of date? Will the patch apply? I've got 2.6.22. Bruce ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread

Is my > fsl_soc.c already out of date? Will the patch apply? I've got 2.6.22. Ok, we both (Peter and myself) have forgotten, that this change has first aooeared after 2.6.22. So, best try 2.6.23-rc9, or use one of the git-trees (from Linux or from Paulus, or from Kumar Gala, or...) _plus_ the patch we both pointed at.

Thanks Guennadi, that's what I was starting to think, that I was going to have to get something newer. Thanks to both you and Peter for the help. I really appreciate it.
