FreeCalypso Tango is a Calypso core module with the special quality of having many Calypso signals brought out on the user interface connector. Out of the great many Calypso signals that are brought out, the following 8 pins are subject to functional multiplexing concerns: GPIO1 GPIO2 GPIO3 RESET_OUT/GPIO7 MCSI_TXD/GPIO9 MCSI_RXD/GPIO10 MCSI_CLK/GPIO11 MCSI_FSYNCH/GPIO12 All 8 are capable of functioning as GPIOs, meaning that a Tango-based custom application board designer can use them for whatever purpose they like, but some of them can also be configured as dedicated Calypso peripheral pins, particularly MCSI. Others (GPIO1-3) have software-defined conventional functions based on long-standing tradition. The special complication that arises for our firmware with regard to these GPIO and multifunction pins is that it is not our place as the firmware vendor to dictate to our potential customers how they should wire these pins on their boards. Instead an FC Tango customer should be able to wire up their board as their application calls for, subject to constraints imposed by hardware (not by firmware!), and our standard fw needs to work with every reasonable possibility for user wiring of our GPIO and multifunction pins. The following practical cases need to be addressed: * If a customer chooses to use any of our GPIOs as an input, feeding some external output to it, there needs to be a way to tell our fw to leave that GPIO as an input and not switch it to an output. * Conversely, if a given GPIO or multifunction pin is unused or not needed in a given application, the app board designer should have the freedom to either tie it off or leave it unconnected. If some of our GPIO or multifunction pins are left unconnected, this fact needs to be communicated to our fw so it can configure them as dummy outputs, preventing floating inputs. * Some applications will use MCSI, while others won't. If a given application does not use MCSI, the 4 pins (or any subset of them) can be used as GPIOs, either inputs or outputs, or the unused pins may be left unconnected. * GPIO3 is traditionally defined (by conventions going back to TI) as DTR input - but not every application will have a sensible DTR signal to feed to this pin. If there is no DTR signal in a given application, the app board designer should be able to either use GPIO3 for some unrelated purpose, or leave it unconnected. * GPIO2 is similarly defined as DCD output by the same traditional conventions. Because it is an output from Calypso, it can be simply ignored and left unconnected if it is not needed - but a user should also be able to use the GPIO for unrelated purposes. * There exist several historical conventional functions for GPIO1 output: loudspeaker control (D-Sample, Leonardo, FCDEV3B), Openmoko's application processor wake-up signal, or RI modem control output. We allow any of these options, plus other arbitrary uses. FreeCalypso solution ==================== Our solution for firmware build target tangomdm (standard shipping fw for Tango modems) is that our fw will look on boot for a file in FFS named /etc/tango-pinmux; it will be a binary file of 4 bytes, defining pin multiplexing configuration as follows: Byte 0: GPIO1 config The following values are defined: 0x00: GPIO1 is left as an input from power-up 0x80: GPIO1 is switched to an output, initial value 0 0x81: GPIO1 is switched to an output, initial value 1 0x82: GPIO1 is wake-up output per Openmoko GTA01/02 convention 0x83: GPIO1 is RI output Byte 1: GPIO2 and GPIO3 config Bit 7: if 1, GPIO3 is DTR input, other bits in this nibble ignored if 0, GPIO3 is a "generic" GPIO (undefined function) per bits 5 and 4 Bit 5: if 1, GPIO3 is an output, otherwise it's an input Bit 4: initial output value if GPIO3 is an output Bit 3: if 1, GPIO2 is DCD output, other bits in this nibble ignored if 0, GPIO2 is a "generic" GPIO (undefined function) per bits 1 and 0 Bit 1: if 1, GPIO2 is an output, otherwise it's an input Bit 0: initial output value if GPIO2 is a generic (not DCD) output Byte 2: Peripheral pin mux config Bit 7: if 0, MCSI pins retain their default power-up functions if 1, MCSI pins are switched to being GPIOs Bit 3: if 0, RESET_OUT pin retains its default power-up function if 1, RESET_OUT pin is switched to being GPIO7 Bit 1: if 1, GPIO7 is an output, otherwise it's an input bit 0: initial output value of GPIO7 Byte 3: I/O config of MCSI pins turned into GPIOs This byte will be considered only if Byte 2 Bit 7 is set to 1, and will be ignored otherwise. Bit 7: GPIO12 direction: 1 means output, 0 means input Bit 6: GPIO11 direction: 1 means output, 0 means input Bit 5: GPIO10 direction: 1 means output, 0 means input Bit 4: GPIO9 direction: 1 means output, 0 means input Bit 3: GPIO12 initial output value Bit 2: GPIO11 initial output value Bit 1: GPIO10 initial output value Bit 0: GPIO9 initial output value If the /etc/tango-pinmux file is missing, the effect will be the same as if all four bytes are equal to zero: GPIO1-3 will be functionally-undefined inputs, RESET_OUT/GPIO7 will be left as RESET_OUT from power-up, and all 4 MCSI pins will be likewise left in their power-up default MCSI function. Any GPIO that is configured as an input can be read with AT+IOR, and any GPIO that is configured as a generic (not built-in function) output can be set with AT+IOW. Programming /etc/tango-pinmux ============================= To program the pinmux config file on a Tango module running any of our official FreeCalypso firmware versions, you will need to use FC host tools. Connect to the RVTMUX debug trace and control interface (second UART) via rvinterf and execute the following command in fc-fsio: fwrite /etc/tango-pinmux hex "xx xx xx xx" Replace xx placeholders inside the double quotes with the 4 hex bytes to be programmed; the double quotes are required. Other GPIO pins =============== Calypso pins GPIO0, TSPDI/GPIO4, BCLKX/GPIO6, MCUEN1/GPIO8 and MCUEN2/GPIO13 are not brought out externally on Tango modules, thus they don't need to be considered. Our fw configures them as dummy outputs to prevent floating inputs.
