Linux Driver Development for Embedded Processors 2nd Edition

The source code of the drivers and device tree for NXP i.MX7, Microchip SAMA5D27 and Broadcomm BCM2837 processors can be downloaded from drivers_source_code.zip. These drivers have been implemented using the v4.9 LTS kernel. The evaluation boards and their configurations used to develop these drivers are explained in detail throughout this book.

The source code of the drivers and device tree for SAMA5D27-SOM1 (SAMA5D27 System On Module) can be downloaded from linux_4.14_sama5d27-SOM_drivers.zip. These drivers have been implemented using the v4.14 LTS kernel. The ATSAMA5D27-SOM1-EK1 evaluation platform (https://www.microchip.com/developmenttools/ProductDetails/atsama5d27-som1-ek1) has been used for the development of these 4.14 kernel drivers. The Microchip SAMA5D27-SOM1 Practical Labs Setup is described in the Linux_4.14_SAMA5D27-SOM1_practical_labs.pdf file included in this GitHub repository.

Since the end of March 2019, a new chapter and an appendix have been added to the text of the book. These are: Chapter 13, “Linux USB Device Drivers” and Appendix, “Porting Kernel Modules to the Microchip SAMA5D27-SOM1”. These two new chapters can also be downloaded from the Github of this book for readers who have acquired the book before that date. In the USB chapter, you will learn how to create a fully functional USB HID device based on the Microchip PIC32MX microcontroller that will send/receive data to/from a Linux USB Host device based on the Microchip SAMA5D27 processor; several custom Linux USB device drivers will be developed throughout this chapter. The Appendix will explain the hardware settings for the ATSAMA5D27-SOM1-EK1 board that are needed to test the practical labs described throughout this book; to run the labs on this new board, you will get the SAMA5D27-SOM1 Linux drivers based on the kernel 4.14, and the SAMA5D27-SOM1 device tree settings from the Appendix_linux_4.14_sama5d27-SOM_drivers.zip file, which is included in the GitHub repository of this book.

Since the end of November 2019, the Linux drivers included in this book have been adapted to run on the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B board using Linux kernel version 4.19. The kernel 4.19 modules developed for the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B board are included in the linux_4.19_rpi4_drivers.zip file and can be downloaded from this GitHub repository. The Raspberry Pi 4 Practical Labs Setup is described in the Linux_4.9_RaspberryPi4_practical_labs document included in this repository.

The repository git.freescale.com is not working anymore. Since June 30, 2021 the new building instructions for the NXP i.MX7 SoC have been updated in the text of this book. If the book was acquired prior to that date and you are using the kernel 4.9, you must replace the instructions of the page 34 of "Chapter 1: Building the System" with the following instructions. You can also use the kernel 4.19 to test the labs, following the instructions included in the Linux_4.19_i.MX7D_practical_labs file that can be downloaded from this GitHub.

NXP i.MX Release Manifest:

https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-manifest/about/

The following instructions have been tested on an Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit distribution.

Install python 3.6 in your Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit distribution using the following instructions:

~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa

~$ sudo apt-get update

~$ sudo apt-get install python3.6

~$ sudo apt install python3-pip

~$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python2.7 1

~$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3.5 2

~$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3.6 3

Now, you can use python 2.7, 3.5 and 3.6 in your machine. The default python version is 3.6.

The following code shows how to download the NXP Yocto BSP recipe layers. For this building, a directory called "fsl-release-bsp" is created:

~$ mkdir fsl-release-bsp

~$ cd fsl-release-bsp/

~/fsl-release-bsp$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"

~/fsl-release-bsp$ git config --global user.email "Your Email"

~/fsl-release-bsp$ git config --list

~/fsl-release-bsp$ repo init -u https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-manifest -b imx-linux-morty -m imx-4.9.11-1.0.0_ga.xml

~/fsl-release-bsp$ repo sync -j4

Before starting the build, it must be initialized:

~/fsl-release-bsp$ DISTRO=fsl-imx-x11 MACHINE=imx7dsabresd source fsl-setup-release.sh -b build_imx7d

Now, replace IMX_FIRMWARE_SRC variable in the recipe "firmware-imx_6.0.bb" with the following line of code to avoid errors during the building:

~$ gedit ~/fsl-release-bsp/sources/meta-fsl-bsp-release/imx/meta-bsp/recipes-bsp/firmware-imx/firmware-imx_6.0.bb

IMX_FIRMWARE_SRC ?= "git://github.com/NXP/imx-firmware;protocol=git"

You have to change the python version from 3.6 to 2.7 to build the image. Execute the following commands and enter 1 (2.7 version):

~$ sudo update-alternatives --config python

You may now build the Linux image:

~/fsl-release-bsp/build_imx7d$ bitbake fsl-image-validation-imx

If you still get errors in the imx-firmware during the building, then execute the following instructions:

~/fsl-release-bsp/build_imx7d$ bitbake firmware-imx -c cleanall

~/fsl-release-bsp/build_imx7d$ bitbake firmware-imx

~/fsl-release-bsp/build_imx7d$ bitbake fsl-image-validation-imx

And this is the instruction to download the kernel sources:

~$ git clone https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/linux-imx -b imx_4.9.11_1.0.0_ga
