Overview

This is the 1/3 chapter of IGEP PARIS Expansion Tutorial Guide.

In this first chapter, we will learn how to connect some expansion peripherals.

Requirements

In these tutorials we are going to need the following components:

• IGEP COM PROTON or IGEP COM MODULE.
• 5V DC power supply with a minimum of 3A current capacity.
• Seiko 7" screen if you need a touch screen.
• DB9 connector and USB serial converter to follow serial communication tutorial.
• Ethernet cable for network communications.
• An USB keyboard and a mouse (optional).
• Li-on battery with 3V3 (optional).
• A PC.

Getting started

TFT and Touchscreen

200px

Know more

IGEP PARIS Expansion integrates LCD backlight driver (TPS61081) and touch screen controller (TSC2046), a 4-wire touch screen controller which supports a low voltage I/O interface from 1.5V to 5.25V.

Serial port

Basic

IGEP PARIS Expansion integrates a DB9 RS232 connector.

Know more

This peripheral (UART 3) can be used to debug system using kernel traces, getting a remote prompt, etc.

Ethernet Network cable

Basic

Plug an Ethernet cable between IGEP PARIS and your client machine (or any other network device with ethernet connectivity).

Know more

IGEP PARIS comes with one 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet port.

In the following chapters we will use Ethernet to access IGEP PARIS.

USB devices

Basic

Connect a USB hub to the USB type-A connector (USB Host) in IGEP PARIS.

Then plug a USB keyboard and USB mouse to the USB hub.

Know more

Only USB 2.0 devices will work in IGEP PARIS, so if you connect any USB mouse 1.0 into the USB host connector without using a USB hub 2.0, it will not work.

Battery

J102 is a 2.5mm pitch, can be used to connect a 3,7V Battery to power the base board.

Connect IGEP PARIS Expansion with IGEP COM MODULE/NEUTRON Board

The IGEP PARIS Expansion connects to the IGEP COM MODULE/NEUTRON Board through J1 and J4 connectors. Just take a look on the figure to mount it:

Connect IGEP PARIS Expansion with IGEP COM PROTON Board

The IGEP PARIS Expansion connects to the IGEP COM PROTON Board through J1, J4 and J8 connectors. Just take a look on the figure to mount it:

Power up IGEP PARIS Expansion

Once you have connected the peripherals you can apply power to your IGEP PARIS with 5V DC power supply (J101) with a minimum of 3A current capacity.

Test the Demo software distribution with touch screen

Basic

When IGEP PARIS powers up, the desktop of the preinstalled software will appear on the touch screen.

You can use your fingers to test the demo applications.

Screenshot of the Desktop of the pre-installed software

Know more

All IGEP Processor Boards have a pre-installed software in its flash memory which consists of a minimal Linux-based distribution with a lite X Window System and GNOME Mobile based applications created with Poky Platform Builder.

Log into IGEP PARIS Expansion via Ethernet interface

	In non-Linux operating system, use IGEP SDK Virtual Machine to connect to IGEP COM MODULE via USB or read article "Using USB ethernet gadget to communicate"

In your Host Machine:

Open a Terminal session and set the IP of the Ethernet interface in which IGEP is connected (for example eth0):

• In the file /etc/network/interfaces, you should add:

iface eth0 inet dhcp 
iface eth0:0 inet static
address 192.168.5.10
netmask 255.255.255.0

• Type in a terminal:

sudo ifup eth0:0

• Revise that:

jdoe@ubuntu ~ $ ifconfig
...
eth0:0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 08:00:27:ad:0c:ad  
          inet addr:192.168.5.10  Bcast:0.0.0.0  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

How to use GPIOs (update it)

Overview

This How-To is meant to be a starting point for people to learn use GPIOs for IGEP v2 devices as quickly and easily as possible. For this how-to i used Linaro Headless with Kernel 2.6.35.y, Ubuntu 10.04 with Linaro Toolchain, IGEP v2 RC5 and GPIO driver.

There are more ways to use GPIOs in IGEP v2, but this one is very simple.

Feedback and Contributing

At any point, if you see a mistake you can contribute to this How-To.

Compile GPIO driver source code via Host

Download GPIO driver and Kernel 2.6.35.y source code. Extract files.

Edit GPIO driver Makefile's:

-In files: $/app/Makefile and $/lib/Makefile, make sure that your CROSS_COMPILE path is correct.

-In file: $/modules/Makefile, make sure that your CROSS_COMPILE path is correct and type your Kernel 2.6.35.y path.

We will use the ncurses program for set up Kernel configuration, if you don't have this program installed then you must install it with this command:

sudo apt-get install ncurses-dev 

-Go to kernel path and type:

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- igep00x0_defconfig

Exit Linux Kernel Configuration an return to Bash. Type:

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- modules_prepare

File $/include/generated/autoconf.h was created

Finally compile GPIO driver, go to main Makefile path and compile all source code using make command.

Send binaries created from Host to Igep v2.

Install binaries via IGEP

Log with root user to install binaries.

Install module

Go to:$/modules and insert user-gpio-drv.ko into linux kernel with the following command:

insmod user-gpio-drv.ko

Check that user-gpio-drv.ko is currently loaded with the following command:

lsmod

The result will be similar at that:

root@localhost:~/gpio-driver/module# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
user_gpio_drv           1639  0 
omap_wdt                3411  0 
spidev                  4198  0 
iommu                   8558  0 
rtc_twl                 4411  0 
rtc_core               11187  1 rtc_twl
twl4030_keypad          2970  0 

The module is loaded until system halt.

Install shared library

Go to:$/lib. libgpio.so is here.

If a program is linked with shared libraries, Kernel seek in specific paths when program is executed. Now is necessary link the libgpio.so path to the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH, use the following command:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/gpio-driver/lib/

Check that libgpio.so is linked correctly. Go to:$/gpio-driver/app, gpio program is here. Type next command:

ldd gpio 

ldd command, print shared library dependencies. The result will be similar at that:

root@localhost:~/gpio-driver/app# ldd gpio
	libgpio.so => /root/gpio-driver/lib/libgpio.so (0x40197000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x401a0000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.3 (0x4008a000)

The shared library is linked until system halt. Now you can execute gpio example program.

Testing driver

To make sure than driver works well, make the next test. I used GPIO_136(sdmmc2_dat4) and GPIO_137(sdmmc2_dat5) because IGEP v2 RC5(without WIFI) don't use them by default:

NOTE: For more information visit this page (under construction).

Configure Mux

Go to:/sys/kernel/debug/omap_mux, and change this mux configuration:

echo 0x104>sdmmc2_dat4
echo 0x104>sdmmc2_dat5

Use cat command to check it:

cat sdmmc2_dat4
cat sdmmc2_dat5

The result will be similar at that:

root@localhost:/sys/kernel/debug/omap_mux# cat sdmmc2_dat4
name: sdmmc2_dat4.gpio_136 (0x48002164/0x134 = 0x0104), b ae4, t NA
mode: OMAP_PIN_INPUT | OMAP_MUX_MODE4
signals: sdmmc2_dat4 | sdmmc2_dir_dat0 | NA | sdmmc3_dat0 | gpio_136 | NA | NA | safe_mode

and

root@localhost:/sys/kernel/debug/omap_mux# cat sdmmc2_dat5
name: sdmmc2_dat5.gpio_137 (0x48002166/0x136 = 0x0104), b ah3, t NA
mode: OMAP_PIN_INPUT | OMAP_MUX_MODE4
signals: sdmmc2_dat5 | sdmmc2_dir_dat1 | cam_global_reset | sdmmc3_dat1 | gpio_137 | hsusb3_tll_stp | mm3_rxdp | safe_mode

Note: OMAP_PIN_INPUT=Input/Output pin and OMAP_PIN_OUTPUT=Output pin, for Read/Write test you need the first one. GPIO is configured in mode 4.

Read/Write test

Link GPIO_136 and GPIO_137 with a wire, these pins are located in J990 connector with numbers 7 and 9. I use the next connector to join them:

Now type next code:

root@localhost:~/gpio-driver/app# ./gpio input 136
root@localhost:~/gpio-driver/app# ./gpio output 137 0
root@localhost:~/gpio-driver/app# ./gpio get 136     
0
root@localhost:~/gpio-driver/app# ./gpio output 137 1
root@localhost:~/gpio-driver/app# ./gpio get 136     
1
root@localhost:~/gpio-driver/app# 

The results (CMOS Voltages: 0V-1V8):

The code above shows that driver works properly, GPIO_136 is configured like input and GPIO_137 is configured like output with value 0, when read GPIO_136 the result is 0. To make sure that works well, configure GPIO_137 with value 1, now GPIO_136 reads 1.
This driver have more options like IRQ, but is not explained here.
