Zedboard access LEDs one by one Linux

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Hi,

I would like to access each of the LEDs on the Zedboard individually. First I declare a bitfield:

struct io_leds {
tunsigned long led0:1;
tunsigned long led1:1;
        unsigned long led2:1;
tunsigned long led3:1;
        unsigned long led4:1;
tunsigned long led5:1;
        unsigned long led6:1;
tunsigned long led7:1;
};
static volatile struct io_leds *io_data;

Afterwards, I setup the interface as follows:

static void io_setup(void)
{
t/* open /dev/mem device file */
t int fd = open("/dev/mem", O_RDWR|O_SYNC);t

t/* map it into logical memory */
tvoid *gpio = mmap(0, getpagesize(), PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0x41220000);

tio_data = gpio;

        /* test the device */
        io_data->led0 = 1;
        io_data->led1 = 1;
}

When the test part is executed, the result of the different lines is:

io_data->led0 = 1;
    --> Result = LED0 is ON, the rest is OFF
io_data->led1 = 1;
    --> Result = LED1 is ON, the rest is OFF

But I would like:

io_data->led0 = 1;
    --> Result = LED0 is ON, the rest is OFF
io_data->led1 = 1;
    --> Result = Both LED0 and LED1 are ON, the rest is OFF

Any ideas how could I solve this?

Thanks,

CHR

    Hello,

    I think I need more information about what PL IP block you are using.  Could you tell me what you are using?

    Assuming that it is an AXI GPIO, remember that you are using a processor that is 32 bit aligned.
    As such, I'm not quite sure how it is working for you.

    Based on your struct:

    0x41220000: io_data->led0
    0x41220004: io_data->led1
    0x41220008: io_data->led2
    0x4122000C: io_data->led3
    0x41220010: io_data->led4
    0x41220014: io_data->led5
    0x41220018: io_data->led6
    0x4122001C: io_data->led7

    Yet, according to the AXI GPIO Documentation, LED0-7 should be bit aligned all in what you are calling io_data->led0  at address 0x41220000.  You can access the documentation through the IP block in the Block Design within Vivado.

    Within the AXI GPIO:
    At byte offset
    0x00 is GPIO_DATA
    0x04 is GPIO_TRI
    0x08 is GPIO2_DATA
    0x0C is GPIO2_TRI
    .
    .
    .
    etc.
