- =============
- GPIO Mappings
- =============
- This document explains how GPIOs can be assigned to given devices and functions.
- Note that it only applies to the new descriptor-based interface. For a
- description of the deprecated integer-based GPIO interface please refer to
- legacy.rst (actually, there is no real mapping possible with the old
- interface; you just fetch an integer from somewhere and request the
- corresponding GPIO).
- All platforms can enable the GPIO library, but if the platform strictly
- requires GPIO functionality to be present, it needs to select GPIOLIB from its
- Kconfig. Then, how GPIOs are mapped depends on what the platform uses to
- describe its hardware layout. Currently, mappings can be defined through device
- tree, ACPI, and platform data.
- Device Tree
- -----------
- GPIOs can easily be mapped to devices and functions in the device tree. The
- exact way to do it depends on the GPIO controller providing the GPIOs, see the
- device tree bindings for your controller.
- GPIOs mappings are defined in the consumer device's node, in a property named
- <function>-gpios, where <function> is the function the driver will request
- through gpiod_get(). For example::
- foo_device {
- compatible = "acme,foo";
- ...
- led-gpios = <&gpio 15 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>, /* red */
- <&gpio 16 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>, /* green */
- <&gpio 17 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; /* blue */
- power-gpios = <&gpio 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
- };
- Properties named <function>-gpio are also considered valid and old bindings use
- it but are only supported for compatibility reasons and should not be used for
- newer bindings since it has been deprecated.
- This property will make GPIOs 15, 16 and 17 available to the driver under the
- "led" function, and GPIO 1 as the "power" GPIO::
- struct gpio_desc *red, *green, *blue, *power;
- red = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 0, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);
- green = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 1, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);
- blue = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 2, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);
- power = gpiod_get(dev, "power", GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);
- The led GPIOs will be active high, while the power GPIO will be active low (i.e.
- gpiod_is_active_low(power) will be true).
- The second parameter of the gpiod_get() functions, the con_id string, has to be
- the <function>-prefix of the GPIO suffixes ("gpios" or "gpio", automatically
- looked up by the gpiod functions internally) used in the device tree. With above
- "led-gpios" example, use the prefix without the "-" as con_id parameter: "led".
- Internally, the GPIO subsystem prefixes the GPIO suffix ("gpios" or "gpio")
- with the string passed in con_id to get the resulting string
- (``snprintf(... "%s-%s", con_id, gpio_suffixes[]``).
- ACPI
- ----
- ACPI also supports function names for GPIOs in a similar fashion to DT.
- The above DT example can be converted to an equivalent ACPI description
- with the help of _DSD (Device Specific Data), introduced in ACPI 5.1::
- Device (FOO) {
- Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate () {
- GpioIo (Exclusive, PullUp, 0, 0, IoRestrictionOutputOnly,
- "\\_SB.GPI0", 0, ResourceConsumer) { 15 } // red
- GpioIo (Exclusive, PullUp, 0, 0, IoRestrictionOutputOnly,
- "\\_SB.GPI0", 0, ResourceConsumer) { 16 } // green
- GpioIo (Exclusive, PullUp, 0, 0, IoRestrictionOutputOnly,
- "\\_SB.GPI0", 0, ResourceConsumer) { 17 } // blue
- GpioIo (Exclusive, PullNone, 0, 0, IoRestrictionOutputOnly,
- "\\_SB.GPI0", 0, ResourceConsumer) { 1 } // power
- })
- Name (_DSD, Package () {
- ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
- Package () {
- Package () {
- "led-gpios",
- Package () {
- ^FOO, 0, 0, 1,
- ^FOO, 1, 0, 1,
- ^FOO, 2, 0, 1,
- }
- },
- Package () { "power-gpios", Package () { ^FOO, 3, 0, 0 } },
- }
- })
- }
- For more information about the ACPI GPIO bindings see
- Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/gpio-properties.rst.
- Platform Data
- -------------
- Finally, GPIOs can be bound to devices and functions using platform data. Board
- files that desire to do so need to include the following header::
- #include <linux/gpio/machine.h>
- GPIOs are mapped by the means of tables of lookups, containing instances of the
- gpiod_lookup structure. Two macros are defined to help declaring such mappings::
- GPIO_LOOKUP(key, chip_hwnum, con_id, flags)
- GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX(key, chip_hwnum, con_id, idx, flags)
- where
- - key is either the label of the gpiod_chip instance providing the GPIO, or
- the GPIO line name
- - chip_hwnum is the hardware number of the GPIO within the chip, or U16_MAX
- to indicate that key is a GPIO line name
- - con_id is the name of the GPIO function from the device point of view. It
- can be NULL, in which case it will match any function.
- - idx is the index of the GPIO within the function.
- - flags is defined to specify the following properties:
- * GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH - GPIO line is active high
- * GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW - GPIO line is active low
- * GPIO_OPEN_DRAIN - GPIO line is set up as open drain
- * GPIO_OPEN_SOURCE - GPIO line is set up as open source
- * GPIO_PERSISTENT - GPIO line is persistent during
- suspend/resume and maintains its value
- * GPIO_TRANSITORY - GPIO line is transitory and may loose its
- electrical state during suspend/resume
- In the future, these flags might be extended to support more properties.
- Note that:
- 1. GPIO line names are not guaranteed to be globally unique, so the first
- match found will be used.
- 2. GPIO_LOOKUP() is just a shortcut to GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX() where idx = 0.
- A lookup table can then be defined as follows, with an empty entry defining its
- end. The 'dev_id' field of the table is the identifier of the device that will
- make use of these GPIOs. It can be NULL, in which case it will be matched for
- calls to gpiod_get() with a NULL device.
- .. code-block:: c
- struct gpiod_lookup_table gpios_table = {
- .dev_id = "foo.0",
- .table = {
- GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX("gpio.0", 15, "led", 0, GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH),
- GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX("gpio.0", 16, "led", 1, GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH),
- GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX("gpio.0", 17, "led", 2, GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH),
- GPIO_LOOKUP("gpio.0", 1, "power", GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW),
- { },
- },
- };
- And the table can be added by the board code as follows::
- gpiod_add_lookup_table(&gpios_table);
- The driver controlling "foo.0" will then be able to obtain its GPIOs as follows::
- struct gpio_desc *red, *green, *blue, *power;
- red = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 0, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);
- green = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 1, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);
- blue = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 2, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);
- power = gpiod_get(dev, "power", GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);
- Since the "led" GPIOs are mapped as active-high, this example will switch their
- signals to 1, i.e. enabling the LEDs. And for the "power" GPIO, which is mapped
- as active-low, its actual signal will be 0 after this code. Contrary to the
- legacy integer GPIO interface, the active-low property is handled during
- mapping and is thus transparent to GPIO consumers.
- A set of functions such as gpiod_set_value() is available to work with
- the new descriptor-oriented interface.
- Boards using platform data can also hog GPIO lines by defining GPIO hog tables.
- .. code-block:: c
- struct gpiod_hog gpio_hog_table[] = {
- GPIO_HOG("gpio.0", 10, "foo", GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH),
- { }
- };
- And the table can be added to the board code as follows::
- gpiod_add_hogs(gpio_hog_table);
- The line will be hogged as soon as the gpiochip is created or - in case the
- chip was created earlier - when the hog table is registered.
- Arrays of pins
- --------------
- In addition to requesting pins belonging to a function one by one, a device may
- also request an array of pins assigned to the function. The way those pins are
- mapped to the device determines if the array qualifies for fast bitmap
- processing. If yes, a bitmap is passed over get/set array functions directly
- between a caller and a respective .get/set_multiple() callback of a GPIO chip.
- In order to qualify for fast bitmap processing, the array must meet the
- following requirements:
- - pin hardware number of array member 0 must also be 0,
- - pin hardware numbers of consecutive array members which belong to the same
- chip as member 0 does must also match their array indexes.
- Otherwise fast bitmap processing path is not used in order to avoid consecutive
- pins which belong to the same chip but are not in hardware order being processed
- separately.
- If the array applies for fast bitmap processing path, pins which belong to
- different chips than member 0 does, as well as those with indexes different from
- their hardware pin numbers, are excluded from the fast path, both input and
- output. Moreover, open drain and open source pins are excluded from fast bitmap
- output processing.
