Peripheral USB HostEdit

The USB2 Type-C port requires to configure the USB VBUS regulator and the gpio used for enabling the 5V USB power switch in Host mode.

Device tree configurationEdit

ORCAEdit

Here below an example of device tree configuration used on standard DAVE's kit for the ORCA SOM:

From imx8mp-mito8mplus-cb1001.dts:

...
...
&usb3_phy0 {
	vbus-power-supply = <&ptn5110>;
	fsl,phy-tx-vref-tune = <6>;
	fsl,phy-tx-rise-tune = <0>;
	fsl,phy-tx-preemp-amp-tune = <3>;
	fsl,phy-comp-dis-tune = <7>;
	fsl,pcs-tx-deemph-3p5db = <0x21>;
	fsl,phy-pcs-tx-swing-full = <0x7f>;
	status = "okay";
};

&usb3_0 {
	status = "okay";
};

&usb_dwc3_0 {
	dr_mode = "host";
	status = "okay";

	port {
		usb3_drd_sw: endpoint {
			remote-endpoint = <&typec_dr_sw>;
		};
	};
};

MINIEdit

Here below an example of device tree configuration used on standard DAVE's kit for the MINI SOM:

From imx8mm-mito8mmini.dts:

...
...
&usbotg2 {
	dr_mode = "host";
	pinctrl-names = "default";
	pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_usb_pwr>;
	vbus-supply = <&reg_usb_pwr>;
	picophy,pre-emp-curr-control = <3>;
	picophy,dc-vol-level-adjust = <7>;
	status = "okay";
};
...
...
&iomuxc {
...
...
	pinctrl_usb_pwr: usbpwrgrp {
		fsl,pins = <
			MX8MM_IOMUXC_GPIO1_IO12_GPIO1_IO12			  0x19
		>;
	};
...
...
};

Accessing the peripheralEdit

This procedure is the same for both ORCA and MINI.

Linux messages at boot timeEdit

When a USB peripheral is inserted, in the following example a memory mass storage device, the kernel recognizes the device (i.e. class, vendor id, product id, etc.)

root@desk-mx8mp:~# [ 2406.464399] usb 6-1: USB disconnect, device number 2

Additional informationEdit

If the root file system configuration does not automatically mount the partition, it is possible to mount the device using the following command:

root@desk-mx8mp:~# mkdir -p /mnt/usb
root@desk-mx8mp:~# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
[ 1245.415662] FAT-fs (sda1): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck.
root@desk-mx8mp:~# ls -la /mnt/usb
