Kconfig下的SPI驱动相关文件编写

知识汇总：

Y：表示选中，程序编译进内核；N：表示不选中，不编译；M：表示选中，程序编译成单独加载的驱动文件

配置项的类型：

bool        布尔型，Y N

tristate    常数型，Y N M

string      字符串型，这个可以输入字符串

hex        二进制

int          整数

 

 

1、打开在SPI目录下的 Kconfig文件，与SPI相关的如下：

知识点：

bool 为布尔量只有两种状态，选中Y  不选中N

depends 依赖关系，表示这个配置项目依赖的条件是XXX，如果XXX没有被选中 则看不到这个配置项目

#建立SPI的配置显示主页面选项，
menuconfig SPI
        #这个主页面叫 SPI support，bool表示 选中则为 Y  不选中为N  两种状态
	bool "SPI support"
        #依赖关系depends ，这里表示只有HAS_IOMEM不为N则显示SPI support选项
	depends on HAS_IOMEM
        #以下是帮助文档
	help
	  The "Serial Peripheral Interface" is a low level synchronous
	  protocol.  Chips that support SPI can have data transfer rates
	  up to several tens of Mbit/sec.  Chips are addressed with a
	  controller and a chipselect.  Most SPI slaves don't support
	  dynamic device discovery; some are even write-only or read-only.

	  SPI is widely used by microcontrollers to talk with sensors,
	  eeprom and flash memory, codecs and various other controller
	  chips, analog to digital (and d-to-a) converters, and more.
	  MMC and SD cards can be accessed using SPI protocol; and for
	  DataFlash cards used in MMC sockets, SPI must always be used.

	  SPI is one of a family of similar protocols using a four wire
	  interface (select, clock, data in, data out) including Microwire
	  (half duplex), SSP, SSI, and PSP.  This driver framework should
	  work with most such devices and controllers.

2、关于i.mx6芯片部份的SPI内容

知识点：

select与depends on是相反的逻辑关系。select叫反向依赖
A depends on B  ------那么只有在B选中才能选A
A select  B          -------那么只要选中A就会选中B

这里的A 是指     tristate "Freescale i.MX SPI controllers"

#建立spi_imx的目录
config SPI_IMX
        #这个目录在配置界面上显示的名称为Freescale i.MX SPI controllers
        #tristate 表示常数量，三种状态 Y选中编译进内核，N不编译，M单独编译不进内核
	tristate "Freescale i.MX SPI controllers"
        #depends 依赖条件，两个条件有一个选中了才会显示这个配置项目
	depends on ARCH_MXC || COMPILE_TEST
        #选中上面的Freescale i.MX SPI controllers，自然会选中SPI_BITBANG
	select SPI_BITBANG
	help
	  This enables using the Freescale i.MX SPI controllers in master
	  mode.

3、以下内容与本次SPI无关仅为了学习Konfig

知识点：

range 意义为数据范围格式

default 意义为默认值

 

if ARM_DMA_USE_IOMMU
#创建一个ARM_DMA_IOMMU_ALIGNMENT目录
config ARM_DMA_IOMMU_ALIGNMENT
        #int型，界面上显示是Maximum PAGE_SIZE order of alignment for DMA IOMMU buffers
	int "Maximum PAGE_SIZE order of alignment for DMA IOMMU buffers"
        #range 意义为范围。这里表示输入的数据范围是4-9
	range 4 9
        #default 意义为默认值。这里表示默认值为8
	default 8
	help
	  DMA mapping framework by default aligns all buffers to the smallest
	  PAGE_SIZE order which is greater than or equal to the requested buffer
	  size. This works well for buffers up to a few hundreds kilobytes, but
	  for larger buffers it just a waste of address space. Drivers which has
	  relatively small addressing window (like 64Mib) might run out of
	  virtual space with just a few allocations.

	  With this parameter you can specify the maximum PAGE_SIZE order for
	  DMA IOMMU buffers. Larger buffers will be aligned only to this
	  specified order. The order is expressed as a power of two multiplied
	  by the PAGE_SIZE.
