Kernel-4.18.0-80.el8_fsl-imx-sdma

  • Freescale Smart Direct Memory Access (SDMA) Controller for i.MX

Required properties:

  • compatible : Should be one of
    "fsl,imx25-sdma"
    "fsl,imx31-sdma", "fsl,imx31-to1-sdma", "fsl,imx31-to2-sdma"
    "fsl,imx35-sdma", "fsl,imx35-to1-sdma", "fsl,imx35-to2-sdma"
    "fsl,imx51-sdma"
    "fsl,imx53-sdma"
    "fsl,imx6q-sdma"
    "fsl,imx7d-sdma"
    
    The -to variants should be preferred since they allow to determine the
    correct ROM script addresses needed for the driver to work without additional
    firmware.
  • reg : Should contain SDMA registers location and length
  • interrupts : Should contain SDMA interrupt
  • #dma-cells : Must be <3>.
    The first cell specifies the DMA request/event ID. See details below
    about the second and third cell.
  • fsl,sdma-ram-script-name : Should contain the full path of SDMA RAM
    scripts firmware

The second cell of dma phandle specifies the peripheral type of DMA transfer.
The full ID of peripheral types can be found below.

The third cell specifies the transfer priority as below.

0    High
1    Medium
2    Low

Optional properties:

  • gpr : The phandle to the General Purpose Register (GPR) node.
  • fsl,sdma-event-remap : Register bits of sdma event remap, the format is
    .
    reg is the GPR register offset.
    shift is the bit position inside the GPR register.
    val is the value of the bit (0 or 1).

Examples:

sdma@83fb0000 {
compatible = “fsl,imx51-sdma”, “fsl,imx35-sdma”;
reg = <0x83fb0000 0x4000>;
interrupts = <6>;
#dma-cells = <3>;
fsl,sdma-ram-script-name = “sdma-imx51.bin”;
};

DMA clients connected to the i.MX SDMA controller must use the format
described in the dma.txt file.

Examples:

ssi2: ssi@70014000 {
compatible = “fsl,imx51-ssi”, “fsl,imx21-ssi”;
reg = <0x70014000 0x4000>;
interrupts = <30>;
clocks = <&clks 49>;
dmas = <&sdma 24 1 0>,
<&sdma 25 1 0>;
dma-names = “rx”, “tx”;
fsl,fifo-depth = <15>;
};

Using the fsl,sdma-event-remap property:

If we want to use SDMA on the SAI1 port on a MX6SX:

&sdma {
gpr = <&gpr>;
/* SDMA events remap for SAI1_RX and SAI1_TX */
fsl,sdma-event-remap = <0 15 1>, <0 16 1>;
};

The fsl,sdma-event-remap property in this case has two values:

  • <0 15 1> means that the offset is 0, so GPR0 is the register of the
    SDMA remap. Bit 15 of GPR0 selects between UART4_RX and SAI1_RX.
    Setting bit 15 to 1 selects SAI1_RX.
  • <0 16 1> means that the offset is 0, so GPR0 is the register of the
    SDMA remap. Bit 16 of GPR0 selects between UART4_TX and SAI1_TX.
    Setting bit 16 to 1 selects SAI1_TX.
