I will get straight to the point in this tutorial and give the codes here. The explanation given in the earlier post for ADC should suffice.
Do note that this is only an example, and what you might need to do will depend on what is available and what is not. Also, the code is not exactly up to the mark as per coding standards, but, I was too excited while working and rolling this out, so. I hope this clears the idea of how to use platform device/driver. Also, just in case it is not clear to people who are starting out, the core driver and header files are being changed. This will require a kernel recompilation and updating the uImage on the module, for our driver to work.
1. Header File: http://git.toradex.com/cgit/linux-toradex.git/tree/include/linux/pwm.h?h=tegra
2. Core Driver File: http://git.toradex.com/cgit/linux-toradex.git/tree/arch/arm/mach-tegra/pwm.c?h=tegra
3. Board File: http://git.toradex.com/cgit/linux-toradex.git/tree/arch/arm/mach-tegra/board-colibri_t20.c?h=tegra
Below is the change I made to the core drive file in the tegra_pwm_probe function.
platform_set_drvdata(pdev, pwm);
/*-------------------Register our PWM device---------------------*/
// Added by Sanchayan
pwm->colibripwm_dev = platform_device_alloc("colibri_pwm", -1);
if (!pwm->colibripwm_dev){
printk("PWM Device creation failed\n");
}
platform_set_drvdata(pwm->colibripwm_dev, pwm);
ret = platform_device_add(pwm->colibripwm_dev);
if (ret < 0) {
printk("PWM Device addition failed\n");
platform_device_put(pwm->colibripwm_dev);
}
/*---------------------------------------------------------------*/
mutex_lock(&pwm_lock);
In the tegra_pwm_remove function, I added the below line just before return.
platform_device_unregister(pwm->colibripwm_dev);
In the board file I commented out lines 737 to 830. This was done as these lines exported the PWM to led driver framework. The led driver framework only allowed controlling the PWM’s duty cycle and period was fixed at 19600, as you can see in those lines. Hence, this driver to allow period or frequency to be controlled as well. Also, line 1479 was commented to prevent registration of these PWM’s with the led framework.
