2.2" TFT display on Beaglebone

I recently bought a 2.2" TFT display on Ebay (come on, 7 bucks...) and was up to use it with my BeagleBone. Luckily for me there was no Linux driver for the ILI9341 controller so it's just to roll up my sleeves and get to work.

Boot up the BeagleBone

I haven't booted up my bone for a while and support for the board seems to have reached the mainline in v3.8 (currently at v3.15), so the first step is just to get it boot with a custom kernel.

Clone the vanilla kernel from kernel.org:

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git

Use the omap2plus_defconfig as base:

make ARCH=arm omap2plus_defconfig

I will still use my old U-boot version, which does not have support for devicetrees, so I have to make sure that the CONFIG_ARM_APPENDEND_DTB option is enabled

CONFIG_ARM_APPENDED_DTB=y

This simply tells the boot code to look for a device tree binary (DTB) appended to the zImage. Without this option, the kernel expects the address of a dtb in the r2 register (on ARM architectures), but that does not work on my ancient bootloader.

Next step is to compile the kernel. We are using U-Boot as bootloader, but we do not create an uImage since we have to append the dtb to the zImage before that:

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-

Next, create the device tree blob. We are using the arch/arm/dts/am335x-bone.dts as source.:

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- am33x-bone.dtb

Now we are only two steps behind a booting kernel! First we need to append the dtb to the zImage, and then we need to create an U-boot-friendly kernel image with mkimage.:

cat arch/arm/boot/zImage arch/arm/boot/dts/am335x-bone.dtb > ./zImage_dtb
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x80008000 -e 0x80008000 -n 'BeagleBone image' -d ./zImage_dtb uImage

Put the uImage on the uSD-card and boot it up.

BeagleBone login:

Victory!

Enable SPI

First of all, we need to setup the pinmux for the spi-bus. This is done with the pinctrl subsystem in the devicetree interface file (arch/arm/boot/dts/am335x-bone-common.dtsi).

Create the pins. For more detailed explaination of the values, see the BeagleBone System Reference Manual.

spi1_pins: spi1_pins_s0 {
   pinctrl-single,pins = <
     0x190 0x33      /* mcasp0_aclkx.spi1_sclk, INPUT_PULLUP | MODE3 */
     0x194 0x33      /* mcasp0_fsx.spi1_d0, INPUT_PULLUP | MODE3 */
     0x198 0x13      /* mcasp0_axr0.spi1_d1, OUTPUT_PULLUP | MODE3 */
     0x19c 0x13      /* mcasp0_ahclkr.spi1_cs0, OUTPUT_PULLUP | MODE3 */
 >;
};

Then override the spi1 entry and create an instance of our device driver. The driver will have the name "ili9341-fb".

&spi1{
 status = "okay";
 pinctrl-names = "default";
 pinctrl-0 = <&spi1_pins>;
 ili9341: ili9341@0 {
  compatible = "ili9341-fb";
  reg = <0>;
  spi-max-frequency = <16000000>;
  dc-gpio = <&gpio3 19 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
 };
};

Create an entry in the Kbuild system

I always integrate the modules into the kbuild system as the first step. This for several reasons:

I use one kernel for all of my projects, just different branches
It's simple to jump around with cscope/ctags
It gives you control when the kernel version and your driver follow eachother
Out-of-tree modules is evil (gives you a tainted kernel and everyone will spit on you)

Those who don't know how to put a module into the kbuild system - get ready to be surprised how simple it's!

Every directory in the kernel structure contains at least two files, a Makefile and a Kconfig. The Makefile tells the make buildsystem which files to compile and the Kconfig file is interpreted by (menu|k|x|old|....)config.

Here is what's needed:

Deferred IO

Deferred IO is a way to delay and repurpose IO. It uses host memory as a buffer and the MMU pagefault as a pretrigger for when to perform the device IO. You simple tell the kernel the minimum delay between the triggers should occours, this allows you to do burst transfers to the device at a given framerate. This has the big benefit that if the userspace updates the framebuffer several times in this period, we will only write it once.

The interface is simple. All you need to follow is these four steps (see Documentation/fb/deferred_io.txt):

Setup your structure.

static struct fb_deferred_io hecubafb_defio = {
 .delay  = HZ,
 .deferred_io = hecubafb_dpy_deferred_io,
};

The delay is the minimum delay between when the page_mkwrite trigger occurs and when the deferred_io callback is called. The deferred_io callback is explained below.

Setup your deferred IO callback.

static void hecubafb_dpy_deferred_io(struct fb_info *info,
    struct list_head *pagelist)

The deferred_io callback is where you would perform all your IO to the display device. You receive the pagelist which is the list of pages that were written to during the delay. You must not modify this list. This callback is called from a workqueue.

Call init:

info->fbdefio = &hecubafb_defio;
fb_deferred_io_init(info);

Call cleanup upn exit:
```
fb_deferred_io_cleanup(info);
```

Problems

The driver is quite straight forward and there was no really hard problem with the driver itself. However, I had problem to get a high framerate because the SPI communication took time. All SPI communication is asynchronious and all jobs is stacked on a queue before it gets scheduled. This takes time. One obvious solution is to write bigger chunks with each transfer, and that is what I did.

But when I increased the chunk size, the kernel got panic with the DMA transfers.

After an half a hour of code-digging, the problem is derived to the spi-controller for the omap2 (drivers/spi/spi-omap2-mcspi.c).

It defines the DMA_MIN_BYTES which is arbitrarily set to 160. The code then compare the data length to this constant and determine if it should use DMA or not. It shows up that the DMA-transfer-code itself is broken.

A temporary solution is to increase the DMA_MIN_BYTES to at least a full frame (240x320x2) bytes until I have looked at the DMA code and submitted a fix :-)

Result

Here is a shell started from Ubuntu

I have also tested to startup Qt and directfb applications. It all works like a charm. Conclusion

The Deferred IO interface is really nice for such displays. I'm surprised that there is currently so few drivers using it.
