Description

Atmel SAM Pinctrl container node

The Atmel SAM pin controller is a singleton node responsible for controlling
pin function selection and pin properties. For example, you can use this node
to route USART0 RX to pin PA10 and enable the pull-up resistor on the pin.

The node has the 'pinctrl' node label set in your SoC's devicetree, so you can
modify it like this:

  &pinctrl {
          /* your modifications go here */
  };

All device pin configurations should be placed in child nodes of the 'pinctrl'
node, as shown in this example:

  /** You can put this in places like a <board>-pinctrl.dtsi file in
    * your board directory, or a devicetree overlay in your application.
    */

  /** include pre-defined combinations for the SoC variant used by the board */
  #include <dt-bindings/pinctrl/sam4sXc-pinctrl.h>

  &pinctrl {
    /* configuration for the usart0 "default" state */
    usart0_default: usart0_default {
      /* group 1 */
      group1 {
        /* configure PA6 as USART0 TX and PA8 as USART0 CTS */
        pinmux = <PA6A_USART0_TXD0>, <PA8A_USART0_CTS0>;
      };
      /* group 2 */
      group2 {
        /* configure PA5 as USART0 RX and PA7 as USART0 RTS */
        pinmux = <PA5A_USART0_RXD0>, <PA7A_USART0_RTS0>;
        /* both PA5 and PA7 have pull-up enabled */
        bias-pull-up;
      };
    };
  };

The 'usart0_default' child node encodes the pin configurations for a
particular state of a device; in this case, the default (that is, active)
state.

As shown, pin configurations are organized in groups within each child node.
Each group can specify a list of pin function selections in the 'pinmux'
property.

A group can also specify shared pin properties common to all the specified
pins, such as the 'bias-pull-up' property in group 2. Here is a list of
supported standard pin properties:

- bias-pull-up: Enable pull-up resistor.
- bias-pull-down: Enable pull-down resistor.
- drive-open-drain: Open-drain drive mode.

To link pin configurations with a device, use a pinctrl-N property for some
number N, like this example you could place in your board's DTS file:

  #include "board-pinctrl.dtsi"

  &usart0 {
        pinctrl-0 = <&usart0_default>;
        pinctrl-names = "default";
  };

Properties

Top level properties

These property descriptions apply to “atmel,sam-pinctrl” nodes themselves. This page also describes child node properties in the following sections.

Properties not inherited from the base binding file.

(None)

Deprecated properties not inherited from the base binding file.

(None)

Properties inherited from the base binding file, which defines common properties that may be set on many nodes. Not all of these may apply to the “atmel,sam-pinctrl” compatible.

See Important properties for more information.

clocks

phandle-array

Clock gate information

clock-names

string-array

name of each clock

dmas

phandle-array

DMA channels specifiers

dma-names

string-array

Provided names of DMA channel specifiers

io-channels

phandle-array

IO channels specifiers

io-channel-names

string-array

Provided names of IO channel specifiers

mboxes

phandle-array

mailbox / IPM channels specifiers

mbox-names

string-array

wakeup-source

boolean

Property to identify that a device can be used as wake up source.

When this property is provided a specific flag is set into the
device that tells the system that the device is capable of
wake up the system.

Wake up capable devices are disabled (interruptions will not wake up
the system) by default but they can be enabled at runtime if necessary.

power-domain

phandle

Power domain the device belongs to.

The device will be notified when the power domain it belongs to is either
suspended or resumed.

Details

pinmux

array

An array of pins sharing the same group properties. The pins should
be defined using pre-defined macros or, alternatively, using the
SAM_PINMUX utility macros depending on the pinmux model used by the
SoC series.

This property is required.

bias-pull-up

boolean

enable pull-up resistor

bias-pull-down

boolean

enable pull-down resistor

drive-open-drain

boolean

drive with open drain (hardware AND)
