1 SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) busses
3 SPI busses can be described with a node for the SPI controller device
4 and a set of child nodes for each SPI slave on the bus. The system's SPI
5 controller may be described for use in SPI master mode or in SPI slave mode,
6 but not for both at the same time.
8 The SPI controller node requires the following properties:
9 - compatible - Name of SPI bus controller following generic names
12 In master mode, the SPI controller node requires the following additional
14 - #address-cells - number of cells required to define a chip select
15 address on the SPI bus.
16 - #size-cells - should be zero.
18 In slave mode, the SPI controller node requires one additional property:
19 - spi-slave - Empty property.
21 No other properties are required in the SPI bus node. It is assumed
22 that a driver for an SPI bus device will understand that it is an SPI bus.
23 However, the binding does not attempt to define the specific method for
24 assigning chip select numbers. Since SPI chip select configuration is
25 flexible and non-standardized, it is left out of this binding with the
26 assumption that board specific platform code will be used to manage
27 chip selects. Individual drivers can define additional properties to
28 support describing the chip select layout.
30 Optional properties (master mode only):
31 - cs-gpios - gpios chip select.
32 - num-cs - total number of chipselects.
34 If cs-gpios is used the number of chip selects will be increased automatically
35 with max(cs-gpios > hw cs).
37 So if for example the controller has 2 CS lines, and the cs-gpios
38 property looks like this:
40 cs-gpios = <&gpio1 0 0>, <0>, <&gpio1 1 0>, <&gpio1 2 0>;
42 Then it should be configured so that num_chipselect = 4 with the
51 SPI slave nodes must be children of the SPI controller node.
53 In master mode, one or more slave nodes (up to the number of chip selects) can
54 be present. Required properties are:
55 - compatible - Name of SPI device following generic names recommended
57 - reg - Chip select address of device.
58 - spi-max-frequency - Maximum SPI clocking speed of device in Hz.
60 In slave mode, the (single) slave node is optional.
61 If present, it must be called "slave". Required properties are:
62 - compatible - Name of SPI device following generic names recommended
65 All slave nodes can contain the following optional properties:
66 - spi-cpol - Empty property indicating device requires inverse clock
68 - spi-cpha - Empty property indicating device requires shifted clock
70 - spi-cs-high - Empty property indicating device requires chip select
72 - spi-3wire - Empty property indicating device requires 3-wire mode.
73 - spi-lsb-first - Empty property indicating device requires LSB first mode.
74 - spi-tx-bus-width - The bus width (number of data wires) that is used for MOSI.
75 Defaults to 1 if not present.
76 - spi-rx-bus-width - The bus width (number of data wires) that is used for MISO.
77 Defaults to 1 if not present.
78 - spi-rx-delay-us - Microsecond delay after a read transfer.
79 - spi-tx-delay-us - Microsecond delay after a write transfer.
81 Some SPI controllers and devices support Dual and Quad SPI transfer mode.
82 It allows data in the SPI system to be transferred using 2 wires (DUAL) or 4
84 Now the value that spi-tx-bus-width and spi-rx-bus-width can receive is
85 only 1 (SINGLE), 2 (DUAL) and 4 (QUAD).
86 Dual/Quad mode is not allowed when 3-wire mode is used.
88 If a gpio chipselect is used for the SPI slave the gpio number will be passed
89 via the SPI master node cs-gpios property.
91 SPI example for an MPC5200 SPI bus:
95 compatible = "fsl,mpc5200b-spi","fsl,mpc5200-spi";
97 interrupts = <2 13 0 2 14 0>;
98 interrupt-parent = <&mpc5200_pic>;
101 compatible = "micrel,ks8995m";
102 spi-max-frequency = <1000000>;
107 compatible = "ti,tlv320aic26";
108 spi-max-frequency = <100000>;
