No device node for AXI I2C bus

maldata
maldata over 6 years ago

Hi all,

 

I implemented the AXI I2C controller on the PL of a MicroZed as described in tutorial 9. After generating the bitfile and putting it in BOOT.bin, I also updated by device tree with the pl.dtsi from the SDK:

 

/ {

    amba_pl: amba_pl {

        #address-cells = <1>;

        #size-cells = <1>;

        compatible = "simple-bus";

        ranges ;

   

        axi_iic_0: i2c@41600000 {

            #address-cells = <1>;

            #size-cells = <0>;

            clock-names = "s_axi_aclk";

            clocks = <&clkc 15>;

            compatible = "xlnx,axi-iic-2.0", "xlnx,xps-iic-2.00.a";

            reg = <0x41600000 0x10000>;

        };

    };

};

 

I then reconfigured the kernel, removed the Cadence I2C driver, and added the Xilinx I2C driver (note: as static drivers, not modules). I built the kernel and made a new image.ub, then fired it up. There are no /dev/i2c-* nodes. My dmesg only contains the following:

 

# dmesg | grep -i i2c

[    0.269877] i2c-core: driver [dummy] registered

[    0.511568] i2c-core: driver [si570] registered

[    0.543153] i2c-core: driver [at24] registered

[    0.887084] i2c-core: driver [rtc-m41t80] registered

[    0.887129] i2c-core: driver [rtc-pcf8563] registered

[    0.887135] i2c /dev entries driver

[    0.889516] i2c-core: driver [pca954x] registered

[    0.889570] i2c-core: driver [adv7604] registered

[    0.889620] i2c-core: driver [ir-kbd-i2c] registered

[    0.921732] i2c-core: driver [pmbus] registered

[    0.921779] i2c-core: driver [ucd9000] registered

[    0.921830] i2c-core: driver [ucd9200] registered

 

But no i2c bus was actually found. Does anything look weird here? The axi_iic_0 node of the device tree doesn't have any interrupt properties in it, which I find suspicious, but there are probably other issues.

 

Thoughts? Thanks!
