silabs,dbus-pinctrl

Vendor: Silicon Laboratories

Note

An implementation of a driver matching this compatible is available in drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl_silabs_dbus.c.

Description

The Silabs pin controller is a singleton node responsible for controlling
pin function selection and pin properties. For example, you can use this
node to route USART0 RX to pin PA1 and enable the pull-up resistor on the
pin. This pin controller is used for devices that use DBUS (Digital Bus)
for alternate function configuration, including Series 2 devices. It is
also capable of ABUS (Analog Bus) allocation.

The pinctrl settings are referenced in a device tree peripheral node. For
example when configuring a USART:

  &usart0 {
    compatible = "silabs,gecko-usart";
    pinctrl-0 = <&usart0_default>;
    pinctrl-names = "default";
  }

pinctrl-0 is a phandle that stores the pin settings for the peripheral, in
this example &usart0_default. This phandle is defined as a child node of the
'pinctrl' node, typically in a board-pinctrl.dtsi file in the board
directory or a device tree overlay in the application:

  &pinctrl {
    /* Configuration for USART0 peripheral, default state */
    usart0_default: usart0_default {
      /* Group of output pins with shared properties (name is arbitrary) */
      group0 {
        /* Configure PA8 as USART0 TX in GPIO DBUS */
        pins = <USART0_TX_PA8>;
        /* Configure GPIO to push-pull mode */
        drive-push-pull;
        /* Set DOUT high */
        output-high;
      };
      /* Group of input pins with shared properties (name is arbitrary) */
      group1 {
        /* Configure PA9 as USART0 RX in GPIO DBUS */
        pins = <USART0_RX_PA9>;
        /* Configure GPIO to input mode */
        input-enable;
        /* Enable input glitch filter */
        silabs,input-filter;
      };
    };
  };

The 'usart0_default' child node encodes the pin configurations for a
particular state of the device, the default (active) state.

Pin configurations are organized in groups within each child node. Each
group can specify a list of pin function selections in the `pins` property,
that all will be configured with the same GPIO mode as given by the rest
of the properties on the group.

The possible pin properties are as follows:

- input-disable: Configure GPIO to disabled mode. Setting this property is
                 optional, as pins are disabled by default. If the "Input
                 disabled with pull-up" mode is desired, the property must
                 be set in combination with bias-pull-up.
- input-enable: Configure GPIO to input mode.
- drive-push-pull: Configure GPIO to push-pull mode.
- drive-open-drain: Configure GPIO to open-drain (wired-AND) mode.
- drive-open-source: Configure GPIO to open-source (wired-OR) mode.

Only one of the above properties must be set at a time, as they are mutually
exclusive. Additional properties may be combined with the above ones:

- bias-pull-down: Enable pull-down resistor. Allowed in input-enable and
                  drive-open-source modes.
- bias-pull-up: Enable pull-up resistor. Allowed in input-disable,
                input-enable and drive-open-drain modes.
- output-high: Drive GPIO high. Allowed in drive-push-pull mode.
- output-low: Drive GPIO low. Allowed in drive-push-pull mode. Setting
              this property is optional, leaving it out has the same effect.
- silabs,input-filter: Enable input glitch filter. Allowed in input-enable
                       and drive-open-drain modes.
- silabs,alternate-port-control: Use alternate port control settings.
                                 Allowed in drive-push-pull and
                                 drive-open-drain modes.

ABUS allocation is performed using the 'silabs,analog-bus' property. This
property takes an array of buses to allocate. Example:

  &pinctrl {
    iadc0_default: iadc0_default {
      group0 {
        /* Allocate even bus 0 and odd bus 1 from GPIO port A for ADC use */
        silabs,analog-bus = <ABUS_AEVEN0_IADC0>, <ABUS_AODD1_IADC0>;
      }
    };
  };

A given group may contain a mix of analog bus allocations and digital pin
selections. Digital pin properties only apply to digital pins. Analog input
selection is not done through the pin controller, this is done in the devicetree
node for the respective peripheral using properties such as 'zephyr,input-positive'
for ADC.

These property descriptions apply to “silabs,dbus-pinctrl” nodes themselves. This page also describes child node properties in the following sections.

Node specific properties

Properties not inherited from the base binding file.

(None)

Deprecated node specific properties

Deprecated properties not inherited from the base binding file.

(None)

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 “silabs,dbus-pinctrl” compatible.

Name

Type

Details

status

string

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 Important properties for more information.

compatible

string-array

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 Important properties for more information.

reg

array

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 Important properties for more information.

reg-names

string-array

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

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 Important properties for more information.

interrupts-extended

compound

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

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

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

Human readable string describing the device. Use of this property is
deprecated except as needed on a case-by-case basis.

For details, see "4.1.2 Miscellaneous Properties" in Devicetree
Specification v0.4.

See Important properties for more information.

clocks

phandle-array
