flashrom on the BeagleBone Black

This page is WIP.

Required packages: the usual suspects.

  • build-essential
  • libpci-dev

Enabling SPI0

Tested with a BBB rev.c and its default installation (Linux 3.8.13-bone47).

Create a file BB-SPI0-00A0.dts with the following contents:

/*
 * Copyright (C) 2013 CircuitCo
 * Copyright (C) 2014 Stefan Tauner
 *
 * Virtual cape for SPI0 of the BBB + 2 GPIO pins permanent high
 *
 * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify

 */
/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;

/ {
	compatible = "ti,beaglebone", "ti,beaglebone-black";

	/* identification */
	part-number = "BB-SPI0";
	version = "00A0";

	/* state the resources this cape uses */
	exclusive-use =
		/* the pin header uses */
		"P9.17",	/* SPI0 CS0 */
		"P9.18",	/* SPI0 DI/MISO */
		"P9.21",	/* SPI0 DO/MOSI */
		"P9.22",	/* SPI0 SCLK */
		/* Use P9.23, P9.25 */
		"P9.23",	/* GPIO1_17 */
		"P9.25",	/* GPIO3_21 */
		/* the hardware ip uses */
		"spi0";

	fragment@0 {
		target = <&am33xx_pinmux>;
		__overlay__ {
			/* default state has all gpios released and mode set to uart1 */
			bb_spi0_pins: pinmux_bb_spi0_pins {
				pinctrl-single,pins = <
					0x150 0x30	/* spi0_sclk, INPUT_PULLUP | MODE0 */
					0x154 0x30	/* spi0_d0, INPUT_PULLUP | MODE0 */
					0x158 0x10	/* spi0_d1, OUTPUT_PULLUP | MODE0 */
					0x15c 0x10	/* spi0_cs0, OUTPUT_PULLUP | MODE0 */
					0x044 0x10	/* gpmc_a1, OUTPUT_PULLUP | MODE0 */
					0x1AC 0x10	/* mcasp0_ahclkx, OUTPUT_PULLUP | MODE0 */
				>;
			};
		};
	};

	fragment@1 {
		target = <&spi0>;	/* spi0 is numbered correctly */
		__overlay__ {
			#address-cells = <1>;
			#size-cells = <0>;

			status = "okay";
			pinctrl-names = "default";
			pinctrl-0 = <&bb_spi0_pins>;


			channel@0 {
				#address-cells = <1>;
				#size-cells = <0>;

				compatible = "spidev";

				reg = <0>;
				spi-max-frequency = <16000000>;
				spi-cpha;
			};

/*			channel@1 {
				#address-cells = <1>;
				#size-cells = <0>;

				compatible = "spidev";

				reg = <1>;
				spi-max-frequency = <16000000>;
			}; */
		};
	};
};

Compile it with

dtc -O dtb -o BB-SPI0-00A0.dtbo -b 0 -@ BB-SPI0-00A0.dts

and copy the result to /lib/firmware:

cp BB-SPI0-00A0.dtbo /lib/firmware/

Then test this overlay:

echo BB-SPI0 > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.*/slots

and check that it has worked:

ls -al /dev/spidev1.*

To make this persistent you have to...

1. edit /boot/uboot/uEnv.txt by appending capemgr.enable_partno=BB-SPI0 to the optargs directive (if it is not there already just add a line with optargs=capemgr.enable_partno=BB-SPI0).

2. update the initrd (e.g. with /opt/scripts/tools/update_initrd.sh)

3. reboot

Using flashrom

The respective Linux SPI device will be /dev/spidev1.0 thus...

flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev1.0 ...
