SPI driver for U3+ (PCB rev 0.5)

[odroid]

We’ve shipped ODROID-U3 PCB Rev 0.5(U3+) since the end of June 2014.
There are 4 major differences against Rev 0.2.
1. Micro-USB port can work in USB host mode too.
2. USB host power protector IC was changed to NCP380 from AP2411.
3. HDMI reverse-current blocking IC AP2331 was placed on the correct place.
4. HW SPI port

You can see the schematics of Rev 0.5 in this link.

U3 IO Shield board was also updated to Rev 0.3 from Rev 0.2 by adding a SPI Flash memory.

HW SPI port
The Serial Peripheral Interface or SPI bus is a synchronous serial data link that operates in full duplex mode.

To access the SPI/GPIO on new J5 connector, you must update kernel first.
The SPI modules were enabled at July 17, 2014.

Code: Select all

wget http://builder.mdrjr.net/tools/kernel-update.sh
chmod +x kernel-update.sh
sudo ./kernel-update.sh

The SPI bus is added on new J5 (IO Port#2) 4-pin connector on PCB.
Note that SPI port supports only master mode and 1.8 Volt interface like other IO ports on Exynos processor.

You can use 4 pins as GPIO mode or SPI mode. After booting, the pins are in GPIO mode by default.
This example script sets all pins to output and toggle 5 times at 1Hz frequency.
At the beginning, it unloads the SPI driver modules to make sure the GPIO mode.
At the finishing, it releases the GPIOs for the next usage.

Code: Select all

modprobe spi-s3c64xx
modprobe odroid-ioboard
dmesg | grep ioboard
modprobe -r odroid-ioboard
modprobe -r spi-s3c64xx

Let’s try the SPI mode.

How to load the SPI driver module for generic SPI usage!
Load the module to activate the SPI host.

Code: Select all

$ sudo modprobe spi-s3c64xx

Load the module to activate the generic SPI.

Code: Select all

$ sudo modprobe spidev

And you will have a standard SPI node.

Code: Select all

$ /dev/spidev1.0

How to load the SPI driver module for serial Flash!
Load the module to activate the SPI host.

Code: Select all

$ sudo modprobe spi-s3c64xx

Load the serial flash (misc) driver

Code: Select all

$ sudo modprobe odroid-ioboard

And you will have a Serial Flash node

Code: Select all

$ /dev/ioboard-spi-misc

Where are the SPI device drivers in Kernel 3.8.y?
- SPI host interface driver:
https://github.com/hardkernel/linux/blo ... -s3c64xx.c
- SPI generic driver
https://github.com/hardkernel/linux/blo ... i/spidev.c
- Serial SPI Flash add-on driver example
https://github.com/hardkernel/linux/blo ... spi-misc.c
Note that spidev.ko and odroid-ioboard.ko can’t be loaded at the same time.

We’ve tested the ioboard-spi-misc.ko with a Serial SPI Flash memory SST25WF020A on the new IO Shield and the maximum speed was 40Mhz of SPI clock.

Refer this link to know the generic SPIDEV driver usage in detail.

Refer this link.
We could driver the SPI clock upto 38Mhz.
