MFP Configuration for PXA2xx/PXA3xx Processors
Eric Miao <eric.miao@marvell.com>
MFP stands for Multi-Function Pin, which is the pin-mux logic on PXA3xx and
later PXA series processors. This document describes the existing MFP API,
and how board/platform driver authors could make use of it.
Basic Concept
Unlike the GPIO alternate function settings on PXA25x and PXA27x, a new MFP
mechanism is introduced from PXA3xx to completely move the pin-mux functions
out of the GPIO controller. In addition to pin-mux configurations, the MFP
also controls the low power state, driving strength, pull-up/down and event
detection of each pin. Below is a diagram of internal connections between
the MFP logic and the remaining SoC peripherals:

| |–(GPIO…) |

| Keypad |–(MKOUT4)—-+ |
+——–+ |
|
+——–+ |
| UART2 |—(TXD)——–+
+——–+
NOTE: the external pad is named as MFP_PIN_GPIO19, it doesn’t necessarily
mean it’s dedicated for GPIO19, only as a hint that internally this pin
can be routed from GPIO19 of the GPIO controller.
To better understand the change from PXA25x/PXA27x GPIO alternate function
to this new MFP mechanism, here are several key points:
GPIO controller on PXA3xx is now a dedicated controller, same as other
internal controllers like PWM, SSP and UART, with 128 internal signals
which can be routed to external through one or more MFPs (e.g. GPIO<0>
can be routed through either MFP_PIN_GPIO0 as well as MFP_PIN_GPIO0_2,
see arch/arm/mach-pxa/mach/include/mfp-pxa300.h)Alternate function configuration is removed from this GPIO controller,
the remaining functions are pure GPIO-specific, i.e.- GPIO signal level control
- GPIO direction control
- GPIO level change detection
Low power state for each pin is now controlled by MFP, this means the
PGSRx registers on PXA2xx are now useless on PXA3xxWakeup detection is now controlled by MFP, PWER does not control the
wakeup from GPIO(s) any more, depending on the sleeping state, ADxER
(as defined in pxa3xx-regs.h) controls the wakeup from MFP
NOTE: with such a clear separation of MFP and GPIO, by GPIO
mean it is a GPIO signal, and by MFP
pad (or ball).
MFP API Usage
For board code writers, here are some guidelines:
include ONE of the following header files in your
.c: - #include <mach/mfp-pxa25x.h>
- #include <mach/mfp-pxa27x.h>
- #include <mach/mfp-pxa300.h>
- #include <mach/mfp-pxa320.h>
- #include <mach/mfp-pxa930.h>
NOTE: only one file in your
.c, depending on the processors used,
because pin configuration definitions may conflict in these file (i.e.
same name, different meaning and settings on different processors). E.g.
for zylonite platform, which support both PXA300/PXA310 and PXA320, two
separate files are introduced: zylonite_pxa300.c and zylonite_pxa320.c
(in addition to handle MFP configuration differences, they also handle
the other differences between the two combinations).NOTE: PXA300 and PXA310 are almost identical in pin configurations (with
PXA310 supporting some additional ones), thus the difference is actually
covered in a single mfp-pxa300.h.prepare an array for the initial pin configurations, e.g.:
static unsigned long mainstone_pin_config[] __initdata = {
/* Chip Select */
GPIO15_nCS_1,/* LCD - 16bpp Active TFT /
GPIOxx_TFT_LCD_16BPP,
GPIO16_PWM0_OUT, / Backlight *//* MMC */
GPIO32_MMC_CLK,
GPIO112_MMC_CMD,
GPIO92_MMC_DAT_0,
GPIO109_MMC_DAT_1,
GPIO110_MMC_DAT_2,
GPIO111_MMC_DAT_3,…
/* GPIO */
GPIO1_GPIO | WAKEUP_ON_EDGE_BOTH,
};a) once the pin configurations are passed to pxa{2xx,3xx}_mfp_config(),
and written to the actual registers, they are useless and may discard,
adding ‘__initdata’ will help save some additional bytes here.b) when there is only one possible pin configurations for a component,
some simplified definitions can be used, e.g. GPIOxx_TFT_LCD_16BPP on
PXA25x and PXA27x processorsc) if by board design, a pin can be configured to wake up the system
from low power state, it can be ‘OR’ed with any of:WAKEUP_ON_EDGE_BOTH
WAKEUP_ON_EDGE_RISE
WAKEUP_ON_EDGE_FALL
WAKEUP_ON_LEVEL_HIGH - specifically for enabling of keypad GPIOs,to indicate that this pin has the capability of wake-up the system,
and on which edge(s). This, however, doesn’t necessarily mean the
pin will wakeup the system, it will only when set_irq_wake() is
invoked with the corresponding GPIO IRQ (GPIO_IRQ(xx) or gpio_to_irq())
and eventually calls gpio_set_wake() for the actual register setting.d) although PXA3xx MFP supports edge detection on each pin, the
internal logic will only wakeup the system when those specific bits
in ADxER registers are set, which can be well mapped to the
corresponding peripheral, thus set_irq_wake() can be called with
the peripheral IRQ to enable the wakeup.
MFP on PXA3xx
Every external I/O pad on PXA3xx (excluding those for special purpose) has
one MFP logic associated, and is controlled by one MFP register (MFPR).
The MFPR has the following bit definitions (for PXA300/PXA310/PXA320):
31 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0

Bit 14: PULLUP_EN - enable the internal pull-up resistor on this pin
Bit 15: PULL_SEL - pull state controlled by selected alternate function
(0) or by PULL{UP,DOWN}_EN bits (1)
Bit 0 - 2: AF_SEL - alternate function selection, 8 possibilities, from 0-7

MFP Design for PXA2xx/PXA3xx
Due to the difference of pin-mux handling between PXA2xx and PXA3xx, a unified
MFP API is introduced to cover both series of processors.
The basic idea of this design is to introduce definitions for all possible pin
configurations, these definitions are processor and platform independent, and
the actual API invoked to convert these definitions into register settings and
make them effective there-after.

The following comments are copied from mfp.h (see the actual source code
for most updated info)
/*
a possible MFP configuration is represented by a 32-bit integer
bit 0.. 9 - MFP Pin Number (1024 Pins Maximum)
bit 10..12 - Alternate Function Selection
bit 13..15 - Drive Strength
bit 16..18 - Low Power Mode State
bit 19..20 - Low Power Mode Edge Detection
bit 21..22 - Run Mode Pull State
to facilitate the definition, the following macros are provided
MFP_CFG_DEFAULT - default MFP configuration value, with
alternate function = 0,drive strength = fast 3mA (MFP_DS03X)low power mode = defaultedge detection = noneMFP_CFG - default MFPR value with alternate function
MFP_CFG_DRV - default MFPR value with alternate function and
pin drive strengthMFP_CFG_LPM - default MFPR value with alternate function and
low power modeMFP_CFG_X - default MFPR value with alternate function,
pin drive strength and low power mode/
Examples of pin configurations are:
#define GPIO94_SSP3_RXD MFP_CFG_X(GPIO94, AF1, DS08X, FLOAT)
which reads GPIO94 can be configured as SSP3_RXD, with alternate function
selection of 1, driving strength of 0b101, and a float state in low power
modes.NOTE: this is the default setting of this pin being configured as SSP3_RXD
which can be modified a bit in board code, though it is not recommended to
do so, simply because this default setting is usually carefully encoded,
and is supposed to work in most cases.Register Settings
Register settings on PXA3xx for a pin configuration is actually very
straight-forward, most bits can be converted directly into MFPR value
in a easier way. Two sets of MFPR values are calculated: the run-time
ones and the low power mode ones, to allow different settings.
The conversion from a generic pin configuration to the actual register
settings on PXA2xx is a bit complicated: many registers are involved,
including GAFRx, GPDRx, PGSRx, PWER, PKWR, PFER and PRER. Please see
mfp-pxa2xx.c for how the conversion is made.
