前言
实时钟,英文名RTC(Real Time Clock),在PC里面很常见,在OpenWrt里面却鲜有提及,手头上有一个DS1307的TinyRTC实时钟模块,经过一番折腾,将其融合到了OpenWrt系统,遂将操作过程记录成文.
背景知识
DS1307在最新的OpenWrt中已经提供支持,却没有整合进ramips中,因此,本文的一个重点便是如何为ramips系统配置ds1307.另外,为ds1307编写合适的dts节点也是本文的一个重点.
实现过程
1.为ramips配置ds1307支持
系统在./scripts/medatata.pl中判断并处理RTC_SUPPORT开关,分析之后,原来是在 target/linux/ramips/mt7620/target.mk中,将
原始的内容:
FEATURES+=usb
修改为:
FEATURES+=usb rtc
即可打开mt7620对rtc的支持.
此时,make kernel_menuconfig进入配置菜单.同时应注意,由于ds1307是i2c接口的模块,因此,在device中需要配置i2c的支持.选中i2c之后,便可以在
Device Drivers -> Real Time Clock中看到ds1307

│ CONFIG_RTC_DRV_DS1307: │

│ If you say yes here you get support for various compatible RTC │
│ chips (often with battery backup) connected with I2C. This driver │
│ should handle DS1307, DS1337, DS1338, DS1339, DS1340, ST M41T00, │
│ EPSON RX-8025 and probably other chips. In some cases the RTC │
│ must already have been initialized (by manufacturing or a │
│ bootloader). │
│ │
│ The first seven registers on these chips hold an RTC, and other │
│ registers may add features such as NVRAM, a trickle charger for │
│ the RTC/NVRAM backup power, and alarms. NVRAM is visible in │
│ sysfs, but other chip features may not be available. │
│ │
│ This driver can also be built as a module. If so, the module │
│ will be called rtc-ds1307. │

2.为ds1307建立dts节点
配置好ds1307的编译开关后,接下来的工作就要在dts里面添加ds1307的设备节点.查阅ds1307的资料,其配置的i2c地址为0x68,因此,dts中可以添加如下内容:
i2c@0 {
compatible = "i2c-gpio";
gpios = <&gpio2 0 0 /* sda = wan_led*/
&gpio3 0 0 /* scl = wlan_led*/ >;
i2c-gpio,delay-us = <10>; /* ~20 kHz */
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
rtc@68 {
compatible = "dallas,ds1307";
reg = <0x68>;
};
};
完成这两步后,就可以make出支持ds1307的固件.
系统启动时,可以在TTL中看到如下内容:
[ 0.130000] i2c-gpio i2c.4: using pins 40 (SDA) and 72 (SCL)
...
[ 0.790000] rtc-ds1307 0-0068: rtc core: registered ds1307 as rtc0
[ 0.810000] rtc-ds1307 0-0068: 56 bytes nvram
...
[ 0.810000] rtc-ds1307 0-0068: setting system clock to 2015-01-26 22:31:15 UTC (1422311475)
说明RTC已经成功的整合到了mt7620的系统中.
ps:系统自带的hwclock命令可以很方便的对RTC进行相应的操作.
后记
kernel 3.14.28中的i2c-ralink驱动已经能够正常驱动7620的硬件i2c,只是在用i2cdetect的时候,需要加上-r参数,这样才能正确probe到设备.
