Clusterboard, U-Boot, PL7 LED - Pine - 03-09-2021
Greetings,
U-Boot has a board-specific method with signature
Code:
void show_boot_progress(int val);Various stages of U-Boot SPL and full U-Boot call this method with a known int to signal the current boot stage.
I would like to activate PL7 on the SOPINE clusterboard which has an LED attached on certain checkpoints in booting.
My question is, does anyone have experience with low-level GPIO registers/memory and knows how to achieve this? We can't use syntactic sugar like the following
Code:
gpio_direction_output(PL7_GPIO, 1);
gpio_set_value(PL7_GPIO, 1);because the GPIO and DM (driver model) systems are not initialized at power-on yet (and I encounter an infinite loop deep in U-Boot trying to enumerate non-initialized hardware).
I understand the pin number for PL7 is 359 from ([L - A] * 32) + 7.
A solution using one of
Code:
writel(...); or
setbits_le32(...)would be a probable goal. Any ideas?
