Description

.. code-block:: none
ESP32 pin controller
Espressif's pin controller is in charge of controlling pin configurations, pin
functionalities and pin properties as defined by pin states. In its turn, pin
states are composed by groups of pre-defined pin muxing definitions and user
provided pin properties.
Each Zephyr-based application has its own set of pin muxing/pin configuration
requirements. The next steps use ESP-WROVER-KIT's I2C_0 to illustrate how one
could change a node's pin state properties. Though based on a particular board,
the same steps can be tweaked to address specifics of any other target board.
Suppose an application running on top of the ESP-WROVER-KIT board, for some
reason it needs I2C_0's SDA signal to be routed to GPIO_33. When looking at
that board's original device tree source file (i.e., 'esp_wrover_kit.dts'),
you'll notice that the I2C_0 node is already assigned to a pre-defined state.
Below is highlighted the information that most interests us on that file
#include "esp_wrover_kit-pinctrl.dtsi"
&i2c0 {
...
pinctrl-0 = <&i2c0_default>;
pinctrl-names = "default";
};
From the above excerpt, the pincrl-0 property is assigned the 'i2c0_default'
state value. This and other pin states of the board are defined on another file
(in this case, 'esp_wrover_kit-pinctrl.dtsi') on the same folder of the DTS file.
Check below the excerpt describing I2C_0's default state on that file
i2c0_default: i2c0_default {
group1 {
pinmux = ,
;
bias-pull-up;
drive-open-drain;
output-high;
};
};
Only the 'pinmux' property above is actually required, other properties can
be chosen if meaningful for the target application and, of course, supported
by your target hardware. For example, some custom board may have an external
pull-up resistor soldered to GPIO_21's pin pad, in which case, 'bias-pull-up'
could be no longer required.
Back to our fictional application, the previous I2C_0 state definition does not
meet our expectations as we would like to route I2C_0's SDA signal to GPIO_33
instead of to GPIO_21. To achieve it, we need to update the 'pinmux' property
accordingly.
Note that replacing 'I2C0_SDA_GPIO21' by 'I2C0_SDA_GPIO33' is very tempting and
may even work, however, unless you have checked the hardware documentation first,
it is not recommended. That's because there are no guarantees that a particular
IO pin has the capability to route any specific signal.
The recommendation is to check the pinmux macros definitions available for the
target SoC in the following URL
https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/tree/main/include/zephyr/dt-bindings/pinctrl
The ESP-WROVER-KIT board is based on the ESP32 SoC, in that case, we search
through the file 'esp32-pinctrl.h' in the above URL. Luckily for us, there is
one definition on that file that corresponds to our needs
#define I2C0_SDA_GPIO33 \
ESP32_PINMUX(33, ESP_I2CEXT0_SDA_IN, ESP_I2CEXT0_SDA_OUT)
Now, we go back to edit 'esp_wrover_kit-pinctrl.dtsi' and create a new pin state
on that file (or replace/update the one already defined) using the pinmux macro
definition above, yielding
i2c0_default: i2c0_default {
group1 {
pinmux = ,
;
bias-pull-up;
drive-open-drain;
output-high;
};
};
With proper modifications, the same steps above apply when using different
combinations of boards, SoCs, peripherals and peripheral pins.
Note: Not all pins are available for a given peripheral, it depends if that
pin supports a set of properties required by the target peripheral.
When defining a state, the pin muxing information is constrained to
the definitions at 'hal_espressif', however, pin properties (like
bias-push-pull, drive-open-drain, etc) can be freely chosen, given the
property is meaningful to the peripheral signal and that it is also
available in the target GPIO.
Another thing worth noting is that all pin properties should be grouped.
All pins sharing common properties go under a common group (in the above
example, all pins are in 'group1'). Other peripherals can have more than
one group.
Properties
**********
Top level properties
====================
These property descriptions apply to "espressif,esp32-pinctrl"
nodes themselves. This page also describes child node
properties in the following sections.
.. tabs::
.. group-tab:: Node specific properties
Properties not inherited from the base binding file.
(None)
.. group-tab:: Deprecated node specific properties
Deprecated properties not inherited from the base binding file.
(None)
.. group-tab:: Base properties
Properties inherited from the base binding file, which defines
common properties that may be set on many nodes. Not all of these
may apply to the "espressif,esp32-pinctrl" compatible.
.. list-table::
:widths: 1 1 4
:header-rows: 1
* - Name
- Type
- Details
* - ``status``
- ``string``
- .. code-block:: none
Indicates the operational status of the hardware or other
resource that the node represents. In particular:
- "okay" means the resource is operational and, for example,
can be used by device drivers
- "disabled" means the resource is not operational and the system
should treat it as if it is not present
For details, see "2.3.4 status" in Devicetree Specification v0.4.
Legal values: ``'ok'``, ``'okay'``, ``'disabled'``, ``'reserved'``, ``'fail'``, ``'fail-sss'``
See :ref:`zephyr:dt-important-props` for more information.
* - ``compatible``
- ``string-array``
- .. code-block:: none
This property is a list of strings that essentially define what
type of hardware or other resource this devicetree node
represents. Each device driver checks for specific compatible
property values to find the devicetree nodes that represent
resources that the driver should manage.
The recommended format is "vendor,device", The "vendor" part is
an abbreviated name of the vendor. The "device" is usually from
the datasheet.
The compatible property can have multiple values, ordered from
most- to least-specific. Having additional values is useful when the
device is a specific instance of a more general family, to allow the
system to match the most specific driver available.
For details, see "2.3.1 compatible" in Devicetree Specification v0.4.
This property is **required**.
See :ref:`zephyr:dt-important-props` for more information.
* - ``reg``
- ``array``
- .. code-block:: none
Information used to address the device. The value is specific to
the device (i.e. is different depending on the compatible
property).
The "reg" property is typically a sequence of (address, length) pairs.
Each pair is called a "register block". Values are
conventionally written in hex.
For details, see "2.3.6 reg" in Devicetree Specification v0.4.
See :ref:`zephyr:dt-important-props` for more information.
* - ``reg-names``
- ``string-array``
- .. code-block:: none
Optional names given to each register block in the "reg" property.
For example:
/ {
soc {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
uart@1000 {
reg = <0x1000 0x2000>, <0x3000 0x4000>;
reg-names = "foo", "bar";
};
};
};
The uart@1000 node has two register blocks:
- one with base address 0x1000, size 0x2000, and name "foo"
- another with base address 0x3000, size 0x4000, and name "bar"
* - ``interrupts``
- ``array``
- .. code-block:: none
Information about interrupts generated by the device, encoded as an array
of one or more interrupt specifiers. The format of the data in this property
varies by where the device appears in the interrupt tree. Devices with the same
"interrupt-parent" will use the same format in their interrupts properties.
For details, see "2.4 Interrupts and Interrupt Mapping" in
Devicetree Specification v0.4.
See :ref:`zephyr:dt-important-props` for more information.
* - ``interrupts-extended``
- ``compound``
- .. code-block:: none
Extended interrupt specifier for device, used as an alternative to
the "interrupts" property.
For details, see "2.4 Interrupts and Interrupt Mapping" in
Devicetree Specification v0.4.
* - ``interrupt-names``
- ``string-array``
- .. code-block:: none
Optional names given to each interrupt generated by a device.
The interrupts themselves are defined in either "interrupts" or
"interrupts-extended" properties.
For details, see "2.4 Interrupts and Interrupt Mapping" in
Devicetree Specification v0.4.
* - ``interrupt-parent``
- ``phandle``
- .. code-block:: none
If present, this refers to the node which handles interrupts generated
by this device.
For details, see "2.4 Interrupts and Interrupt Mapping" in
Devicetree Specification v0.4.
* - ``label``
- ``string``
- .. code-block:: none
Human readable string describing the device. Use of this property is
deprecated except as needed on a case-by-case basis.

Specification v0.4.
See :ref:`zephyr:dt-important-props` for more information.
* - ``clocks``
- ``phandle-array``
- .. code-block:: none
