Introduction

The Xilinx® LogiCORE™ IP AXI General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) core provides a general purpose input/output interface to the AXI interface.
This 32-bit soft Intellectual Property (IP) core is designed to interface with the AXI4-Lite interface.The AXI GPIO design provides a general purpose
input/output interface to an AXI4-Lite interface. The AXI GPIO can be configured as either a single or a dual-channel device.
The width of each channel is independently configurable.

Test procedure on ZCU102 eval board

Using GPIO with SysFs:
The GPIO driver fits in the Linux GPIO framework. It does provide access to the GPIO by user space through the sysfs filesystem. For details please refer to - the above-mentioned - documentation. The following text is aimed to augment, not replace the existing documentation.

For the examples below, there are some important points with sysfs.
  1. The GPIO controllers are visible in /sys/class/gpio. Each controller controls a number of GPIO signals.
  2. The GPIO signals must be exported into the sysfs before they can be manipulated. The number of the GPIO signal must be written to the GPIO export file to cause this to happen.
  3. After exporting the GPIO signal a new directory based on the GPIO signal number will appear in /sys/class/gpio. Under that directory are direction and value files that can be read and written.
Mounting Sysfs:
The root file system being used may not have sysfs mounted and it cannot be used if it's not mounted. The directory /sys is also needed to mount the sysfs on. The root file system must be writable to do the following steps.
Code Block
themeMidnight
> mkdir /sys
> mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys

Note from the boot log what the mappings of the 2 AXI GPIO units are :
[    1.354448] XGpio: /amba_pl@0/gpio@80000000: registered, base is 504
[    1.354761] XGpio: /amba_pl@0/gpio@80010000: registered, base is 496
The AXI GPIO driving the LEDs is at 0x80000000 so its base is 504.
The AXI GPIO reading the DIP switches is at 0x80010000 so its base is 496.
Note the nodes in place :

Each created node controls a single bit of GPIO

Addition of Dip Switches and Push Buttons to the node to generate interrupts on ZCU102 eval boards

This section covers process of modifying the device tree (DTS) by adding dip switches and push buttons subnodes to generate interrupts.
These are suitable for more complex applications involving handling interrupts.

Kernel Configuration for dip switches and push buttons

In order to use, the kernel must be configured correctly. Configure the kernel as described in Build Kernel, and then make sure the following options are enabled in menuconfig:
  • Device Drivers
    • GPIO Support
      • Memory Mapped GPIO Drivers
        • Xilinx GPIO support
        • Xilinx Zynq GPIO support
    • Input device support
      • Keyboards
        • GPIO Buttons
        • Polled GPIO buttons

Enable below kernel configuration options:

CONFIG_KEYBOARD_GPIO=y

Dip Switches to the device tree
Dip Switches are available only for Input GPIO application. Each created subnode controls a single bit of GPIO.
Under "gpio-keys" node in the dts file, create subnodes for dip switches as per design with names shown below:
Code Block
themeMidnight
    gpio-keys {
        compatible = "gpio-keys";
        #address-cells = <1>;
        #size-cells = <0>;
        autorepeat;
        sw19 {
            label = "sw19";
            gpios = <&gpio 22 0>;
            linux,code = <108>; /* down */
            gpio-key,wakeup;
            autorepeat;
        };
        GPIO_DIP_SW0 {
            label = "GPIO_DIP_SW0";
            gpios = <&axi_gpio_0 0x0 0x0 0x0>;
            linux,code = <108>;
            gpio-key,wakeup;
            autorepeat;
        };
        GPIO_DIP_SW1 {
            label = "GPIO_DIP_SW1";
            gpios = <&axi_gpio_0 0x1 0x0 0x0>;
            linux,code = <108>;
            gpio-key,wakeup;
            autorepeat;
        };
        GPIO_DIP_SW2 {
            label = "GPIO_DIP_SW2";
            gpios = <&axi_gpio_0 0x2 0x0 0x0>;
            linux,code = <108>;
            gpio-key,wakeup;
            autorepeat;
        };
        GPIO_DIP_SW3 {
            label = "GPIO_DIP_SW3";
            gpios = <&axi_gpio_0 0x3 0x0 0x0>;
            linux,code = <108>;
            gpio-key,wakeup;
            autorepeat;
        };
        GPIO_DIP_SW4 {
            label = "GPIO_DIP_SW4";
            gpios = <&axi_gpio_0 0x4 0x0 0x0>;
            linux,code = <108>;
            gpio-key,wakeup;
            autorepeat;
        };
        GPIO_DIP_SW5 {
            label = "GPIO_DIP_SW5";
            gpios = <&axi_gpio_0 0x5 0x0 0x0>;
            linux,code = <108>;
            gpio-key,wakeup;
            autorepeat;
        };
        GPIO_DIP_SW6 {
            label = "GPIO_DIP_SW6";
            gpios = <&axi_gpio_0 0x6 0x0 0x0>;
            linux,code = <108>;
            gpio-key,wakeup;
            autorepeat;
        };
        GPIO_DIP_SW7 {
            label = "GPIO_DIP_SW7";
            gpios = <&axi_gpio_0 0x7 0x0 0x0>;
            linux,code = <108>;
            gpio-key,wakeup;
            autorepeat;
        };
     };
 
  • The Label refers to the descriptive name of the dip switch.
  • The string <&axi_gpio_0 0x0 0x0 0x0> references the AXI GPIO 0 controller and states that GPIO_DIP_SW0 is on pin 0, GPIO_DIP_SW1 is on pin 1 and same for remaining dip switches;  the 0 states that the device is active high.
  • The linux,code property determines which key will show up in the event.
  • gpio-key,wakeup will enable the GPIO to wake the system from suspend.
  • The autorepeat property allows holding the key to continuously generate events.
Full documentation can be found here Documentation/devicetree/bindings/input/gpio-keys.txt.

After this, boot the linux. We should able to see the label names of dip switches in cat /proc/interrupts. On and off any of the dip switches and view the trigger count of that dip switch using "cat /proc/interrupts".

Push buttons to the device tree

Push buttons are available only for Input GPIO application.
Each created subnode controls a single bit of GPIO. Under "gpio-keys" node in the dts file, create subnodes for Push buttons as per design with names shown below:
Code Block
themeMidnight
    gpio-keys {
        compatible = "gpio-keys";
        #address-cells = <1>;
        #size-cells = <0>;
        autorepeat;
        sw19 {
            label = "sw19";
            gpios = <&gpio 22 0>;
            linux,code = <108>; /* down */
            gpio-key,wakeup;
            autorepeat;
        };
        SW15 {
            label = "SW15";
            gpios = <&axi_gpio_1 0x0 0x0>;
            linux,code = <108>;
            gpio-key,wakeup;
            autorepeat;
        };
        SW14 {
            label = "SW14";
            gpios = <&axi_gpio_1 0x1 0x0>;
            linux,code = <108>;
            gpio-key,wakeup;
            autorepeat;
        };
        SW16 {
            label = "SW16";
            gpios = <&axi_gpio_1 0x2 0x0>;
            linux,code = <108>;
            gpio-key,wakeup;
            autorepeat;
        };
        SW17 {
            label = "SW17";
            gpios = <&axi_gpio_1 0x3 0x0>;
            linux,code = <108>;
            gpio-key,wakeup;
            autorepeat;
        };
        SW18 {
            label = "SW18";
            gpios = <&axi_gpio_1 0x4 0x0>;
            linux,code = <108>;
            gpio-key,wakeup;
            autorepeat;
        };
    };
 
  • The Label refers to the descriptive name of the Push button.
  • The string <&axi_gpio_1 0x0 0x0> references the AXI GPIO 1 controller and states that SW15 is on pin 0, SW14 is on pin 1 and same for remaining Push buttons; the 0 states that the device is active high.
  • The linux,code property determines which key will show up in the event.
  • gpio-key,wakeup will enable the GPIO to wake the system from suspend.
  • The autorepeat property allows holding the key to continuously generate events.
Full documentation can be found here Documentation/devicetree/bindings/input/gpio-keys.txt.

After this, boot the linux. We should able to see the label names of push buttons in cat /proc/interrupts. Press any of the push buttons and view the trigger count of those push buttons in cat /proc/interrupts.
