Access i2c from u-boot and linux

paul.hein
paul.hein over 7 years ago

Hello i am using a Picozed Board with Petalinux 2016.3.

I followed the PS I2C tutorial and would now want to use this example to access the pmod max44000 i2c device from u-boot and petalinux.

What should i change to make this possible?

so far i get this error under u-boot

 

U-Boot-PetaLinux> i2c bus
Bus -1: i2c@e0004000
U-Boot-PetaLinux> i2c probe
No I2C bus selected
U-Boot-PetaLinux> i2c bus 0
Invalid bus 0: err=-19
U-Boot-PetaLinux> i2c probe
No I2C bus selected
U-Boot-PetaLinux> i2c dev 0
Setting bus to 0
Failure changing bus number (-19)

 

And under linux an

i2cdetect -r 0

shows me no active i2c devices and even the pmod max44000 pins don't even get an i2c signal.

For linux i need to somehow adjust the device tree. But how?
And how can i fix my u-boot problem???

    Hello Paul,

    By chance would you be interested in using the PL I2C Controller with the MAX44000 Pmod under Petalinux? From my experience the PL I2C Controller tends to be more reliable then the PS I2C Controller. To get started with this my suggestion would be for you to start with the batemetal Tutorial 09 PL I2C Pmod located here http://picozed.org/support/design/13076/106

    This board is just a starting point, before i change unto a custom designed Board using the same Processor. This custom board is using the ps interface. So the PS interface is what i need.
