1 SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) busses
3 SPI busses can be described with a node for the SPI master device
4 and a set of child nodes for each SPI slave on the bus. For this
5 discussion, it is assumed that the system's SPI controller is in
6 SPI master mode. This binding does not describe SPI controllers
9 The SPI master node requires the following properties:
10 - #address-cells - number of cells required to define a chip select
11 address on the SPI bus.
12 - #size-cells - should be zero.
13 - compatible - name of SPI bus controller following generic names
15 No other properties are required in the SPI bus node. It is assumed
16 that a driver for an SPI bus device will understand that it is an SPI bus.
17 However, the binding does not attempt to define the specific method for
18 assigning chip select numbers. Since SPI chip select configuration is
19 flexible and non-standardized, it is left out of this binding with the
20 assumption that board specific platform code will be used to manage
21 chip selects. Individual drivers can define additional properties to
22 support describing the chip select layout.
25 - cs-gpios - gpios chip select.
26 - num-cs - total number of chipselects.
28 If cs-gpios is used the number of chip selects will be increased automatically
29 with max(cs-gpios > hw cs).
31 So if for example the controller has 2 CS lines, and the cs-gpios
32 property looks like this:
34 cs-gpios = <&gpio1 0 0>, <0>, <&gpio1 1 0>, <&gpio1 2 0>;
36 Then it should be configured so that num_chipselect = 4 with the
44 SPI slave nodes must be children of the SPI master node and can
45 contain the following properties.
46 - reg - (required) chip select address of device.
47 - compatible - (required) name of SPI device following generic names
49 - spi-max-frequency - (required) Maximum SPI clocking speed of device in Hz.
50 - spi-cpol - (optional) Empty property indicating device requires
51 inverse clock polarity (CPOL) mode.
52 - spi-cpha - (optional) Empty property indicating device requires
53 shifted clock phase (CPHA) mode.
54 - spi-cs-high - (optional) Empty property indicating device requires
55 chip select active high.
56 - spi-3wire - (optional) Empty property indicating device requires
58 - spi-lsb-first - (optional) Empty property indicating device requires
60 - spi-tx-bus-width - (optional) The bus width (number of data wires) that is
61 used for MOSI. Defaults to 1 if not present.
62 - spi-rx-bus-width - (optional) The bus width (number of data wires) that is
63 used for MISO. Defaults to 1 if not present.
64 - spi-rx-delay-us - (optional) Microsecond delay after a read transfer.
65 - spi-tx-delay-us - (optional) Microsecond delay after a write transfer.
67 Some SPI controllers and devices support Dual and Quad SPI transfer mode.
68 It allows data in the SPI system to be transferred using 2 wires (DUAL) or 4
70 Now the value that spi-tx-bus-width and spi-rx-bus-width can receive is
71 only 1 (SINGLE), 2 (DUAL) and 4 (QUAD).
72 Dual/Quad mode is not allowed when 3-wire mode is used.
74 If a gpio chipselect is used for the SPI slave the gpio number will be passed
75 via the SPI master node cs-gpios property.
77 SPI example for an MPC5200 SPI bus:
81 compatible = "fsl,mpc5200b-spi","fsl,mpc5200-spi";
83 interrupts = <2 13 0 2 14 0>;
84 interrupt-parent = <&mpc5200_pic>;
87 compatible = "micrel,ks8995m";
88 spi-max-frequency = <1000000>;
93 compatible = "ti,tlv320aic26";
94 spi-max-frequency = <100000>;
