[RFC 0/9] Regmap over USB for Multifunction USB Device (gpio, display, ...)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

A while back I had the idea to turn a Raspberry Pi Zero into a $5
USB to HDMI/SDTV/DSI/DPI display adapter.

Thinking about how to represent the display to the driver I realised
that hardware use registers as API. And Linux does have a generic
register abstraction: regmap. Furthermore this means that if I can do a
regmap over USB implementation, it will be easy to do other functions
like gpio, adc and others. After a few iterations trying to understand
the USB subsystem and satisfying driver requirements, I now have
something that looks promising.

I'm sending out an early version hoping to get feedback especially on
the core parts that handles regmap and interrupts.

Overview:

          USB Host          :         USB Device
                            :
            --------------  :  ------------------
----------  | mfd: mud   |  :  | f_mud          |  ----------
| Driver |  --------------  :  |                |  | Driver |
----------  | regmap-usb |  :  | (mud_regmap)   |  ----------
            --------------  :  ------------------


I've attached 2 drivers:
- gpio/pinctrl: is more or less finished
- display: needs a lot more work


USB3 device
I've only tested this with usb2 devices (Pi, BBB) so I should get myself
a usb3 gadget capable board. My searching didn't turn up much, so this
seems to be quite rare. ROCK960 has USB 3.0 type C OTG but the price is
$139 which is a bit expensive for this hobby project. Does anyone know
of a cheap board?
