I'll tell you a truth. There are engineering internal settings editors for various ambarella chips floating around on the net. This will be how gopro set theirs up for 4k. Various cameras have combination button access to internal configuration editor. If you use, you can hack many similar cameras, more than ever done here so far. If set to max and menu settings for shutter etc and manual control configuration, a big improvement.

Pins usually have fancier names than this. You can find these in the datasheetfor your chip. Notice that the core pinctrl.h file provides a fancy macrocalled PINCTRL_PIN() to create the struct entries. As you can see I enumeratedthe pins from 0 in the upper left corner to 63 in the lower right corner.This enumeration was arbitrarily chosen, in practice you need to thinkthrough your numbering system so that it matches the layout of registersand such things in your driver, or the code may become complicated. You mustalso consider matching of offsets to the GPIO ranges that may be handled bythe pin controller.


The pin control subsystem will call the .get_groups_count() function todetermine the total number of legal selectors, then it will call the other functionsto retrieve the name and pins of the group. Maintaining the data structure ofthe groups is up to the driver, this is just a simple example - in practice youmay need more entries in your group structure, for example specific registerranges associated with each group and so on.


Every map must be assigned a state name, pin controller, device andfunction. The group is not compulsory - if it is omitted the first grouppresented by the driver as applicable for the function will be selected,which is useful for simple cases.


We assume that the number of possible function maps to pin groups is limited bythe hardware. I.e. we assume that there is no system where any function can bemapped to any pin, like in a phone exchange. So the available pin groups fora certain function will be limited to a few choices (say up to eight or so),not hundreds or any amount of choices. This is the characteristic we have foundby inspecting available pinmux hardware, and a necessary assumption since weexpect pinmux drivers to present all possible function vs pin group mappingsto the subsystem.


It is the responsibility of the pinmux driver to impose further restrictions(say for example infer electronic limitations due to load, etc.) to determinewhether or not the requested function can actually be allowed, and in case itis possible to perform the requested mux setting, poke the hardware so thatthis happens.


Pinmux drivers are required to supply a few callback functions, some areoptional. Usually the set_mux() function is implemented, writing values intosome certain registers to activate a certain mux setting for a certain pin.


The beauty of the pinmux subsystem is that since it keeps track of allpins and who is using them, it will already have denied an impossiblerequest like that, so the driver does not need to worry about suchthings - when it gets a selector passed in, the pinmux subsystem makessure no other device or GPIO assignment is already using the selectedpins. Thus bits 0 and 1 in the control register will never be set at thesame time.


The public pinmux API contains two functions named pinctrl_request_gpio()and pinctrl_free_gpio(). These two functions shall ONLY be called fromgpiolib-based drivers as part of their gpio_request() andgpio_free() semantics. Likewise the pinctrl_gpio_direction_[inputoutput]shall only be called from within respective gpio_direction_[inputoutput]gpiolib implementation.


NOTE that platforms and individual drivers shall NOT request GPIO pins to becontrolled e.g. muxed in. Instead, implement a proper gpiolib driver and havethat driver request proper muxing and other control for its pins.


If your driver needs to have an indication from the framework of whether theGPIO pin shall be used for input or output you can implement the.gpio_set_direction() function. As described this shall be called from thegpiolib driver and the affected GPIO range, pin offset and desired directionwill be passed along to this function.


Depending on the exact HW register design, some functions exposed by theGPIO subsystem may call into the pinctrl subsystem in order toco-ordinate register settings across HW modules. In particular, this maybe needed for HW with separate GPIO and pin controller HW modules, wheree.g. GPIO direction is determined by a register in the pin controller HWmodule rather than the GPIO HW module.


If you make a 1-to-1 map to the GPIO subsystem for this pin, you may startto think that you need to come up with something really complex, that thepin shall be used for UART TX and GPIO at the same time, that you will graba pin control handle and set it to a certain state to enable UART TX to bemuxed in, then twist it over to GPIO mode and use gpio_direction_output()to drive it low during sleep, then mux it over to UART TX again when youwake up and maybe even gpio_request/gpio_free as part of this cycle. Thisall gets very complicated.


The dev_name here matches to the unique device name that can be used to lookup the device struct (just like with clockdev or regulators). The function namemust match a function provided by the pinmux driver handling this pin range.


Generally it is discouraged to let individual drivers get and enable pincontrol. So if possible, handle the pin control in platform code or some otherplace where you have access to all the affected struct device * pointers. Insome cases where a driver needs to e.g. switch between different mux mappingsat runtime this is not possible.


A typical case is if a driver needs to switch bias of pins from normaloperation and going to sleep, moving from the PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT toPINCTRL_STATE_SLEEP at runtime, re-biasing or even re-muxing pins to savecurrent in sleep mode.


Usually the pin control core handled the get/put pair and call out to thedevice drivers bookkeeping operations, like checking available functions andthe associated pins, whereas select_state pass on to the pin controllerdriver which takes care of activating and/or deactivating the mux setting byquickly poking some registers.


NOTE: the pinctrl system will return -EPROBE_DEFER if it cannot find therequested pinctrl handles, for example if the pinctrl driver has not yetregistered. Thus make sure that the error path in your driver gracefullycleans up and is ready to retry the probing later in the startup process.


VZ-X features three connection modesWi-Fi, HDMI, and USB. You can use it with a computer, iOS/Android devices, or directly with an Apple TV, TV, projector, or monitor in the setup that best suits your needs.
