Enabling uart 3 in arndale

Enabling uart 3 in arndale

[armdev]

Hi,

We are trying to enable the UART3 on COM18 pins of arndale board. The UART3 RXD and TXD are on pins 2 and 4 which as per the base board specification is connected as 

XuRXD3 : UART_3_RXD/GPA1[4] : 2
XuTXD3 : UART_3_TXD/GPA1[5] : 4

As per the public reference manual of exynos 5250, there is a register GPACON (0x1140_0000) 
Setting GPACON |= 0x0010_0000 should enable the pins, but I am not able to see any output on UART3.

Can you please suggest what is the right procedure

-Regards

Re: [U-Boot] Enabling uart 3 in arndale

[armdev]

Dear Michael,
Yep didn’t got any prints. So tried a hack.
a) Booted using uart 2
b) set the GPACON
c) Copied the config from 0x12c20000 to 0x12c30000
d)tried to write a char 0x41 (A) on 0x12c20020 0x12c30020, I got output on UART2 but not on UART3.

We would like to use both uarts. 
Have you used UART3, did the boot to UART3 worked for you ? So you see any problem with any of our steps listed in this / pref mail.

Thanks

Are you sure that you don't need to clock uart logic? I don't have

Dear Michael,
Thanks for taking out time to extend help.

As per the RefManual the UART is taking the SCLK_UART Clock and as there are 4 channels (4 UARTS).

Following is from the public exynos 5250 manual (http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/file/product/Exynos_5_Dual_User_Manaul_Public_REV100-0.pdf)

"Four independent channels with asynchronous and serial input/output ports for general purpose (Channel 0 to 3), and One channel in ISP (ISP-UART Channel 0)
 …
	• Each UART contains a Baud-rate generator, a Transmitter, a Receiver and a Control Unit. The Baud-rate generator uses SCLK_UART."

Each UART block uses independent clock source, i.e. UART0 uses 
SCLK_UART0 and UART3 uses SCLK_UART3.

Do you have MUX_UART3 and DIV_UART3 configured properly? Do you have the 
IP bus clock (CLK_UART3) ungated?

The public manual contains full description of clock tree and clock 
controller registers, so you should be able to figure this out.

Best regards,
Tomasz

The register is GPA1CON and its GPA1CON[4] and [5] bit fields need both 
to be set to 0x2 - see Pad Control chapter of Exynos5250 public 
datasheet. Also GPA1PUD should be reconfigured to disable default 
pull-down on both pins, again you can find details of the register in 
the datasheet.

Tomasz

Based on the steps provided, we are still not able to get some output on UART3 simultaneously with UART2.
Can you please help us find out what we are missing.

On the current u-boot, Following was the observation and steps to enable UART3 on arndale

Observations / Questions
——————————————
a) The board has the default UART set to UART2 which is at 0x12c20000, while the include/configs/arndale.h has the UART_OFFSET set to 0x010000.
Shouldn’t it be set to 0x20000 ?

b) board_uart_init in board/samsung/arndale/arndale.c is configuring all the uarts, 
Clocks would be set properly for all 4 uarts ?

Steps / Code Modified
——————————————
a) GPAICON[4] and [5] set to 0x2 in board/samsung/arndale/arndale.c
b) GPA1PUD [4] and [5] set to 0.
