无限可能！为MT7620添加N个SPI接口

前言

我的上一篇文章中谈到,如何使能mt7620的第二个spi接口.既然第二个spi接口已经开放成功,那么,可否接着添加第三个、第四个spi接口呢?熟悉mt7620硬件的朋友一定会第一时间站出来反对我:怎么可能!?mt7620总共才两个spi接口,怎么可能添加更多呢?除非在硬件上想办法.然而我总是善于将不可能变为可能^_,今天我就要和大家分享一下,如何不改动任何硬件,通过修改驱动的方法,实现多个spi接口.注意,我这里实现的spi,并非用gpio口模拟的bitbang伪spi,而是基于硬件spi的真实接口.

背景知识

众所周知,mt7620有两个独立的硬件spi接口,且对应的片选cs为cs0与cs1.如果读者朋友对spi总线的通讯协议略懂的话,会发现:spi的通讯是按照message的方式来进行的,一次通讯过程是通过transfer_one_message的方法来实现.实际上是对spi硬件接口的分时复用.如果我们能够找到办法,扩充一下cs片选信号,且保留对spi硬件的分时复用,不就可以完美实现我们的目标了?那么问题来了:如何扩充cs片选?如何让spi硬件不产生冲突?具体如何实现?各位看官莫急,且听我慢慢道来.

实现过程

dts文件的奥秘

dts文件中有很多隐藏关卡,通过简单的改动,就可以让spi凭空多出cs片选来.

// manfeel, try to add more cs pins(>2)
#define M(cs) (cs ? 1 : cs)
#define RAMIPS_SPI_STAT(cs)        (0x00 + (M(cs) * RAMIPS_SPI_DEV_OFFSET))
#define RAMIPS_SPI_CFG(cs)        (0x10 + (M(cs) * RAMIPS_SPI_DEV_OFFSET))
#define RAMIPS_SPI_CTL(cs)        (0x14 + (M(cs) * RAMIPS_SPI_DEV_OFFSET))
#define RAMIPS_SPI_DATA(cs)        (0x20 + (M(cs) * RAMIPS_SPI_DEV_OFFSET))
#define RAMIPS_SPI_FIFO_STAT(cs)    (0x38 + (M(cs) * RAMIPS_SPI_DEV_OFFSET))

也就是说,当cs>=1的时候,第二个spi接口负责所有的通讯工作.

改动rt2880_spi_setup

static void rt2880_spi_set_cs(struct spi_device *spi, int enable)
{
    struct rt2880_spi *rs = spidev_to_rt2880_spi(spi);
    int cs = spi->chip_select;
    // manfeel, deal cs_gpio first
    if (spi->cs_gpio >= 0) {
        /* SPI is normally active-low */
        gpio_set_value_cansleep(spi->cs_gpio, (spi->mode & SPI_CS_HIGH) ? enable : !enable);
    } else {
        if (enable)
            rt2880_spi_clrbits(rs, RAMIPS_SPI_CTL(cs), SPICTL_SPIENA);
        else
            rt2880_spi_setbits(rs, RAMIPS_SPI_CTL(cs), SPICTL_SPIENA);
    }
}

总共添加不到20行代码,就实现了N个spi接口!

实验

将三个不同的spi flash同时连接到开发板上:
cs0连接w25q256
cs1连接s25sl032p
cs2(gpio72,亦即WLED_GPIO)连接en25p64
上电开机,观察TTL输出,能够看到如下内容:

总结

通过添加cs-gpios的方式实现了N个spi接口,鉴于spi接口的简单高效与灵活,大大加强了mt7620芯片的战斗力.以后,可以在mt7620上添加spi接口的各种设备,而不需要有spi接口不够的顾虑了.
