Linux I2C驱动
前言
主要目的记录一下我在野火的i.MX6ULL mini开发板上面编写了一个Linux I2C设备驱动去驱动SSD1306 OLED屏幕的开发过程。源码用的是野火提供的内核源码。
SSD1306 OLED和I2C接口
这块OLED屏幕大家应该都比较熟悉了,小巧迷你,DIY很好用,很多朋友在学习stm32单片机的时候应该都使用过了,I2C总线也是我们嵌入式工程师必须学会的总线了,具体的总线细节这里也不再讲了,这里主要了解一下在Linux中使用I2C子系统去操作I2C设备,其他的知识点这里就不再讲细节了。
I2C子系统
这里先贴一张野火的图:
在Linux设备驱动中我们通过I2C子系统去进行I2C操作,图中也可以看到I2C总线是包含在platform总线之中的,也就是说I2C子系统是在platform的基础上开发的,所以流程和platform框架差不多,这里我们要做的就是修改设备树和编写对应的驱动程序,这里有几个关键的数据结构,他们都在include/linux/i2c.h
中定义:
/**
* struct i2c_driver - represent an I2C device driver
* @class: What kind of i2c device we instantiate (for detect)
* @probe: Callback for device binding - soon to be deprecated
* @probe_new: New callback for device binding
* @remove: Callback for device unbinding
* @shutdown: Callback for device shutdown
* @alert: Alert callback, for example for the SMBus alert protocol
* @command: Callback for bus-wide signaling (optional)
* @driver: Device driver model driver
* @id_table: List of I2C devices supported by this driver
* @detect: Callback for device detection
* @address_list: The I2C addresses to probe (for detect)
* @clients: List of detected clients we created (for i2c-core use only)
* @disable_i2c_core_irq_mapping: Tell the i2c-core to not do irq-mapping
*
* The driver.owner field should be set to the module owner of this driver.
* The driver.name field should be set to the name of this driver.
*
* For automatic device detection, both @detect and @address_list must
* be defined. @class should also be set, otherwise only devices forced
* with module parameters will be created. The detect function must
* fill at least the name field of the i2c_board_info structure it is
* handed upon successful detection, and possibly also the flags field.
*
* If @detect is missing, the driver will still work fine for enumerated
* devices. Detected devices simply won't be supported. This is expected
* for the many I2C/SMBus devices which can't be detected reliably, and
* the ones which can always be enumerated in practice.
*
* The i2c_client structure which is handed to the @detect callback is
* not a real i2c_client. It is initialized just enough so that you can
* call i2c_smbus_read_byte_data and friends on it. Don't do anything
* else with it. In particular, calling dev_dbg and friends on it is
* not allowed.

struct i2c_driver
用来注册i2c驱动,struct i2c_client
代表一个i2c设备,从成员可以看出有设备名称,对应的设备名称,对应的适配器。

* is not present, then the bus layer will try and convert the SMBus calls
* into I2C transfers instead.
* @functionality: Return the flags that this algorithm/adapter pair supports
* from the I2C_FUNC_* flags.

在Linux I2C子系统框架中,struct i2c_adapter
表示一个具体的物理i2c控制器,而其中的struct i2c_alogrithm
代表的是具体的算法,这个算法指的是具体i2c控制器中如何发送和接收数据,这部分有芯片厂家实现,我们作为驱动工程师只需要关注struct i2c_driver
和struct i2c_client
这两个数据结构就好,在内核加入设备树机制之后struct i2c_client
的内容由Linux i2c子系统核心从设备树获取信息,我们主要关注struct i2c_driver
即可,这里写一个简单的例子:
#include <linux/init.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/i2c.h>
#include <linux/of.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/delay.h>
int ssd1306_master_send_cmd(struct i2c_client *client, const char cmd)
{
char msg[2] = {0x00, cmd};
return i2c_master_send(client, msg, 2);
}
int ssd1306_master_send_dat(struct i2c_client *client, const char dat)
{
char msg[2] = {0x40, dat};
return i2c_master_send(client, msg, 2);
}
int ssd1306_probe(struct i2c_client *client, const struct i2c_device_id *id)
{
printk("SSD1306 PROBE!\n");
/*
* Initial ssd1306
* */
msleep(100);
ssd1306_master_send_cmd(client, 0xae);
...
return 0;
}
struct i2c_device_id ssd1306_id_table[] = {
{"ssd1306"},
{}
};
struct of_device_id of_ssd1306_table[] = {
{.compatible = "ssd1306"},
{}
};
struct i2c_driver ssd1306_drv = {
.probe = ssd1306_probe,
.id_table = ssd1306_id_table,
.driver = {
.name = "ssd1306",
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
.of_match_table = of_ssd1306_table
}
};
static int __init ssd1306_init(void)
{
i2c_add_driver(&ssd1306_drv);
return 0;
}
module_init(ssd1306_init);
static void __exit ssd1306_exit(void)
{
i2c_del_driver(&ssd1306_drv);
}
module_exit(ssd1306_exit);
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
在驱动里面我们调用i2c_add_driver()
函数去注册i2c驱动,相对的使用i2c_del_driver()
函数来注销i2c驱动,发送数据我们用i2c_master_send()
函数进行数据的发送,他们都在include/linux/i2c.h
下声明定义,原型如下:
extern int i2c_register_driver(struct module *, struct i2c_driver *);
extern void i2c_del_driver(struct i2c_driver *);
/* use a define to avoid include chaining to get THIS_MODULE */
#define i2c_add_driver(driver) \
i2c_register_driver(THIS_MODULE, driver)
/**
* i2c_master_send - issue a single I2C message in master transmit mode
* @client: Handle to slave device
* @buf: Data that will be written to the slave
* @count: How many bytes to write, must be less than 64k since msg.len is u16
*
* Returns negative errno, or else the number of bytes written.
*/
static inline int i2c_master_send(const struct i2c_client *client,
const char *buf, int count)
{
return i2c_transfer_buffer_flags(client, (char *)buf, count, 0);
};
我们写好的代码应该放在内核源码的driver/char
目录下并修改该目录Makefile
添加obj-m += ssd1306.o
,ssd1306.c
是我的代码文件名,之后回到内核源码根目录执行$ make modules
编译模块,一切正常的话就可以在driver/char
目录下面看到ssd1306.ko文件了,将这个模块复制到开发板,具体的ssd1306 OLED初始化部分我就省略了,不然代码太长了,下面是设备树的修改,我自己直接在&i2c1
的引用节点下添加:
ssd1306@0x3c {
compatible = "ssd1306";
reg = <0x3c>
}
reg
的值就是设备地址。仔细看过代码很多朋友会疑惑为什么我用了设备树,还要写一个i2c_device_id表,如果是老一些的内核代码,它的i2c设备匹配会要求这个表不为NULL,不然不能通过匹配,这里写上是为了避免这样的麻烦。保存设备树之后回到源码根目录$ make dtbs
编译设备树,之后将开发板上的设备树替换掉重启开发板,开机之后加载模块,没问题的话内核日志就会输出一条SSD1306 PROBE!
,而屏幕也会被点亮并初始化,至此就完成了一个在Linux下用I2C子系统去进行I2C操作的简单例子。
最后
写的比较简单,需要较多的前置知识,比如内核构造,platform框架,设备树,I2C总线,SSD1306的知识,大家不熟悉的可以自行查阅相关资料补充,谢谢大家。
