^ Overview

Notes on SPI device tree source, with goal to add SPI device to modified RPi Pico DTS files, which build firmware to run on Sparkfun DEV-18288 board. An interesting link at Nordic Semi documentation pages, link to page which mentions Synopsis as designer of designware-spi device bindings and related bindings is:

Though Ted wouldn't normally include links in an overview section, another important starting point to understand device tree to describe SPI peripherals is at this github link to a SPI dts bindings file:


^ TO DO

Following are questions to answer, topic areas to research . . .


^ SPI dts examples from Zephyr boards

In Zephyr RTOS' supported board dts files we find SPI peripherals defined for several boards. Here are excerpts

There is a clue here on line 62 "- :dtcompatible:`snps,designware-i2c`". This is for I2C, but a search via startpage.com for "snps,designware-spi" gives a first or near first result of:

This still leaves the open question, where are RPi Pico's I2C and SPI driver implementations in Zephyr RTOS release 3.1.0?


^ YAML device bindings files

2022-08-16 NEED to combine some of this section with . . . need to create a local page for yaml file schemas and yaml syntax.

To support a typical development kit or custom board with multiple peripherals we need a device bindings file comparable to this ... bindings file:

  1. ~/projects-sandbox/workspace-for-rpi/zephyr/boards/arm/nrf9160dk_nrf9160/nrf9160dk_nrf9160.yaml
identifier: nrf9160dk_nrf9160
name: nRF9160-DK-NRF9160
type: mcu 
arch: arm 
toolchain:
  - gnuarmemb
  - xtools
  - zephyr
ram: 88
flash: 256 
supported:
  - arduino_gpio
  - arduino_i2c
  - gpio
  - i2c
  - pwm
  - spi
  - watchdog
  - counter

Or possibly this bindings file by Jared Wolff of Circuit Dojo:

A more involved and documented dts bindings file is available from a git repo of STMicro. The following SPI controller bindings file contains an example of what appears to be YAML conditional logic at line 170:


^ STMicro device tree SPI documentation

The following STMicro article goes into good detail on their SPI controllers in STM32Fxx family parts, and even gives device tree excerpts. These apparently are used in Linux based projects where Linux kernel and OS run on a 32-bit ST MCU.

A device tree excerpt from the first link just above:

spi1: spi@44004000 {
	#address-cells = <1>;
	#size-cells = <0>;
	compatible = "st,stm32h7-spi";
	reg = <0x44004000 0x400>;
	interrupts = <GIC_SPI 35 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
	clocks = <&rcc SPI1_K>;
	resets = <&rcc SPI1_R>;
	dmas = <&dmamux1 37 0x400 0x05>,
	       <&dmamux1 38 0x400 0x05>;
	dma-names = "rx", "tx";
	power-domains = <&pd_core>;
	status = "disabled";
};

Warning white.png Warning
This device tree part is related to STM32 microprocessors. It must be kept as is, without being modified by the end-user. 

Some further excerpts from STMicro SPI and dts documentation, which explain some required and some optional device tree node attribute value pairs. This may be the most useful documentation yet to describe how to craft dts for a newer or otherwise "not dts supported" processor:

3 DT configuration↑

This hardware description is a combination of the STM32 microprocessor device tree files (.dtsi extension) and board device tree files (.dts extension). See the Device tree for an explanation of the device tree file split.

STM32CubeMX can be used to generate the board device tree. Refer to How to configure the DT using STM32CubeMX for more details.
3.1 DT configuration (STM32 level)↑

At device level, each SPI controller is declared as follows:

spi1: spi@44004000 {
	#address-cells = <1>;
	#size-cells = <0>;
	compatible = "st,stm32h7-spi";
	reg = <0x44004000 0x400>;
	interrupts = <GIC_SPI 35 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
	clocks = <&rcc SPI1_K>;
	resets = <&rcc SPI1_R>;
	dmas = <&dmamux1 37 0x400 0x05>,
	       <&dmamux1 38 0x400 0x05>;
	dma-names = "rx", "tx";
	power-domains = <&pd_core>;
	status = "disabled";
};

Warning white.png Warning
This device tree part is related to STM32 microprocessors. It must be kept as is, without being modified by the end-user.

    for STM32MP13x lines Warning.png lines, refer to DTS file stm32mp131.dtsi[5]
    for STM32MP15x lines More info.png lines, refer to DTS file stm32mp151.dtsi[6]

3.2 DT configuration (board level)↑

&spi1 {
	pinctrl-names = "default", "sleep";
	pinctrl-0 = <&spi1_pins_a>;
	pinctrl-1 = <&spi1_sleep_pins_a>;
	status = "okay";

        foo@0 {
                compatible = "spi-foo";
                reg = <0>; /* CS #0 */
                spi-max-frequency = <10000000>;
        };
};

There are two levels of configuration:

    Configuration of the SPI bus properties:
        pinctrl-0&1 configuration depends on hardware board configuration and on how the SPI devices are connected to MOSI, MISO and Clk pins.
        More details about pin configuration are available here: Pinctrl device tree configuration
        cs-gpios represents the list of GPIOs used as chip selects. This property is optional. More details about GPIO configuration are available here: GPIO device tree configuration
        dmas: by default, DMAs are specified for all SPI instances. This is up to the user to remove them if they are not needed. /delete-property/ is used to remove DMA usage for SPI. Both /delete-property/dma-names and /delete-property/dma have to be inserted to get rid of DMAs.

    Configuration of the properties of the SPI device connected on the bus:
        compatible represents the name of the SPI device driver.
        reg represents the index of the gpio chip select associated to this SPI device.
        spi-max-frequency represents the maximum SPI clocking speed for the device (in Hz).

For more information about SPI bus and SPI device bindings, please refer to spi-controller.yaml[3]
3.3 DT configuration example↑

Example: of an external TPM device:

&spi1 {
	pinctrl-names = "default", "sleep";
	pinctrl-0 = <&spi1_pins_a>;
	pinctrl-1 = <&spi1_sleep_pins_a>;
	cs-gpios = <&gpioz 3 0>;
	status = "okay";

	st33zp24@0 {
		compatible = "st,st33htpm-spi";
		reg = <0>; /* CS #0 */
		spi-max-frequency = <10000000>;
	};
};

The above example registers a TPM device on spi1 bus, selected by chip select 0 also known as GPIO-Z3. This instance is compatible with the driver registered with the same compatible property (st,st33htpm-spi).
