GPIO in s3c6410 and c#

hiwa
Hi All
i want to write a program in c# for working with 40 Pin GPIO in s3c6410,
please help me
thanks

hiwa
in this code

hPort = CreateFile("GIO1:", GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, 0, IntPtr.Zero,
OPEN_EXISTING, 0, IntPtr.Zero);

what can i pass to the function instead first parameter "GIO1:"?

hiwa
someone help me please :(

dezso
You can pass whatever driver is available in your device, like "LED1:"
to modify the port:                 DeviceIoControl(hPort, i, null, 0,
null, 0, 0, IntPtr.Zero); // i is a variable 
Get some more info on this of submit your code so we can better understand
what you asking.
Here is some part of the LED code to began.

        // Variable of Device
        static IntPtr hPort;  

        // Declare Function
        [DllImport("coredll.dll")]
        public static extern IntPtr CreateFile(String lpFileName, UInt32
dwDesiredAccess, UInt32 dwShareMode, IntPtr lpSecurityAttributes, UInt32
dwCreationDisposition, UInt32 dwFlagsAndAttributes, IntPtr hTemplateFile);
        [DllImport("coredll.dll")]
        public static extern bool DeviceIoControl(IntPtr hDevice, UInt32
dwIoControlCode, Byte[] lpInBuffer, UInt32 nInBufferSize, Byte[]
lpOutBuffer, UInt32 nOutBufferSize, UInt32 lpBytesReturned, IntPtr
lpOverlapped);
        [DllImport("coredll.dll")]
        public static extern bool CloseHandle(IntPtr hDevice);

// Constant of Function
        const UInt32 OPEN_EXISTING = 3;
        const UInt32 GENERIC_READ = 0x80000000;
        const UInt32 GENERIC_WRITE = 0x40000000;
        const Int32 INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE = -1;

        // Constant from LED Driver
        const UInt32 LED_1_ON = 0x01;
        const UInt32 LED_2_ON = 0x02;
        const UInt32 LED_3_ON = 0x03;
        const UInt32 LED_4_ON = 0x04;
        const UInt32 LED_All_ON = 0x05;
        const UInt32 LED_1_OFF = 0x06;
        const UInt32 LED_2_OFF = 0x07;
        const UInt32 LED_3_OFF = 0x08;
        const UInt32 LED_4_OFF = 0x09;
        const UInt32 LED_All_OFF = 0x0A;
        public void OpenPort()
        {
            // Open LED Device 
            hPort = CreateFile("LED1:", GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, 0,
IntPtr.Zero, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
            if (hPort == (IntPtr)INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Open LED1 Driver Fail");
            }
        }

public Int32 ThreadSpeed = 100;
        public void Go()
        {
            uint i=0;
            while (true)
            {
                DeviceIoControl(hPort, i, null, 0, null, 0, 0,
IntPtr.Zero);
                if (i < 0x0A)
                {
                    i++;
                }
                else
                {
                    i = 0;
                }

                Thread.Sleep(ThreadSpeed);
            }
}
}

hiwa
thanks dezso , your code works on mini2440 , but does not work on s3c6410es
and this message appears : "Open LED1 Driver Fail"
I think the port name in s3c6410 is different 
i will be happy if u tell me another solution :)
thank a lot

hiwa
can u tell me your email address dezso to talk about this problem ? i am in
critical state and i loose my work :(

hiwa
how can i fine whatever driver is available in my device?

dezso
Im using this on 6410 board, should work fine

Do you have the LEDdriver installed, check
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\LEDdriver]
Should have LEDdriver.dll in your windows folder

enjoy3d@hotmail.com

hiwa
thanks dezso 
i will check and write the result here

dsantiago
Deszo,


Is it possible to control more than 8 pins for mini6410 with userkey.dll or
any other dll?. If so, how is this?. Could you please give me an example?.
I need 12 inputs but don't know how to do it. Thanks in advance

Dezso
12 input, don't know if any of the gpio port have 12 input available in one
register, you should just use external device like pic/avr/i2c buss
expander on i2c or even fdti232 on usb to read 12 pin. Also don't forget
that this pins are 3.3v, you definitely don't want to demage any of the
6410's io pin, myself I alway like to play safe and connect external port
expander if I want to drive or read something outside of the board. 
I have modified the the LEDdrive to port K so I can controll MAX 3485's
flow control pin but everything else goes thru PIC16F chip to drive relays
and read switches.

dsantiago
Dezso, thanks a lot for your answer. As per my understanding of your answer
to hiwa, led driver can be handled to be used as inputs or did I understand
wrong?

dezso
Led driver are for output's, if you got the BSP than look up the
LEDDriver.cpp
LEDSet set or clear the pin, at the init stage the pins set as output so it
wont be able to read.
static BOOL LEDSet(int number, int value)
{
  if (number >= 0 && number < 4) {
    if (!value) {
      g_pGPIOReg->GPKDAT &= ~( 1<< (0+number)); 
    } else {
      g_pGPIOReg->GPKDAT |= ( 1<< (0+number)); 
    }
    return TRUE;
  } else {
    return FALSE;
  }
}

dezso
GPKCON0  Bit  Description  Initial State 0010 
GPK0 [3:0] 0000 = Input 0001 = Output 
0010 = Host I/F DATA[0] 0011 = HSI RX READY 
0100 = Reserved 0101 = DATA_CF[0] 
0110 = Reserved 0111 = Reserved 

static BOOL LEDGpioInit()
{
  RETAILMSG(1,(TEXT("LED_Gpio_Setting----\r\n")));
  g_pGPIOReg->GPKCON0 = (g_pGPIOReg->GPKCON0 & 0xFFFF0000U) | 0x1111U; /*
0x0000U wold set it as input but no routine implemented to read pin*/ 
  g_pGPIOReg->GPKDAT &= 0xF0U;
  return TRUE;
}

hiwa
dear dezso
thank you for your reply 
I have not LEDDRIVER.dll in "wince drive\windows" folder 
i have 2 question 
the first is how i can find leddriver and gpiodriver and ... for my device
and the second one is how i can check the registry
"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\LEDdriver]"

dezso
Download and install the 6410BSP for your board, start up MS2005, open your
6410 platform builder project, add or include the driver than SYSGEN

for the registry open regedit in your device or use MS remote registry
editor than navigate to the tree

hiwa
is there gpio driver thai i can install manually on wince?

hiwa
do u create this bsp? i have not correct driver and i can not create this
project
if u have this file please send me , thanks
my board is s3c6410es

dezso
I have to guess that your board isn't Mini6410, it just a DevBoard using
S3C6410, right ?
First find  the tutorial how to get VS2005 and WINCE6R3 with all updates
installed.
Second download and install the BSP and SDK
http://arm9download.cncncn.com/mini6410/wince6/20101121/Mini6410-WinCE6-...
Third find out what are the differences between your DEV and MINI6410,
modify BSP, build new OS.

Dezso
Also you could just extract the bsp archive and find the Leddriver driver,
I'm not around my pc but I believe it's located in
sec/drivers/builtin/Leddriver
If you have your dev board bsp than you can just add it as sub project and
edit the platform.reg/platform.bib 
There is a lost if info out there, just need to connect the dots :)

hiwa
thanks a lot dear Dezso fot your attention

I have some problem:

1- my board is not mini6410 , it is s3c6410es,check this address for it's
schematic  http://vip.eca.ir/sharing/uploads/s3c6410-ARM11-Board.jpg

2- can you upload the file that you put it's address in another server? i
can't download it in this address

3- GPIO in mini6410 is 30 pin and in this board is 40,how can i access it's
extra pins?

4- how can i find the GPIO driver for this board , it is special

5- i am in critical state as i said and haven'r enough time , can you send
me the bin file that support my board with 4.3 inch LCD? if you can create
it for me and send it i can come back to my work 

thanks a lot

Dezso
Find the tq6410 bsp, that will work on your board, I do have one of this
board to and a few mini

Dezso
How's my output pin you want to control?

hiwa
i want to turn on some device(7 devices) and need to use GPIO , and i cant
drive GPIO ports of my board :( if you have this board please give me your
NK.bin file to upload it on my board

Dezso
[url=http://www44.zippyshare.com/v/65832453/file.html]NK.nb0[/url]

hiwa
thank you very much , you are a real man , i hope we can be good friends 
my internet connection is very slow in home and i can download it morning ,
please don not remove this link until 12 hours later

Dezso
Are you loading your image from sd card or with USB?
This image won't load from sd

hiwa
dear Dezso,
i had loaded image from sd card later , but i never load image using USB in
related to  this board , can you explain me this steps?

Dezso
1. Switch to NOR to burn u-boot into your nand flash by 'v' command
2. switch to nand boot mode
3. boot from u-boot nand
4. burn nboot by 'n' command
5. burn wince by 'w' command
6. power cycle the board

So you use windows on your pc?
Use dnw tool to download the images. 

The switch setup as follow. 
1 2 3 4 
0 0 1 1 normal NAND boot. 
0 1 0 1 NOR boot

I did not sent the nboot.nb0 but you should have that in you dev cd or
where ever you have your support files.

hiwa
I switch the board to NOR but in terminal did not appear menu , why?

Dezso
Serial cable ? Baud rate? 
Are you getting anything in the terminal? any junk maybe or nothing at all.

Dezso
I wish if this forum would be more like every other "normal" forum, chat,
file/picture upload, online status, PM......

dezso
Never mind, after logging in I can upload file, regardless better layout
with html tag would be nice.

hiwa
i connect the serial port and set the baud rate 115200 , and set the
switches states , when i turn the board on , nothing is appear on the
terminal :(

Dezso
I believe the RX/RX reversed !

dezso
RX/TX

dezso
Grr, deleted the NK.bin already from my release dir, if you can wait Ill
build another one later today.

dezso

You should be able to use it from SD

hiwa
dear deszo , thanks a lot for your attenton and sorry for delay in
answering , i am in accident ...
my problem is that my board did not send menu to serial port 
the cable that i use it is not cross , is this the problem?
please don't remove the file from the uploaded location 

you help me and i thank you

dezso
The second image should work from sd card

hiwa
the orginal cable did not work , i want to make a cable , is the type of
cable cross ? cross Com2Com?

hiwa
dear deszo
why nothing is appear in terminal
i check the rx/tx and baud rate and my problem did not solve :(:(

Check the pinout in the datasheet, compare it with your PC/Laptop pinout.

dezso
Attachment: DNW.JPG (46.95 KB)
IS your DNW downloaded connected to your COM port, connected to the wright
COM port ?

Hiwa
i use the usb-to-com and the com nomber is 4 , is this the problem?

Hiwa
i rename the com to "COM1" but nothing is appear on terminal,dnw is
connected to COM1 and it's baud rate is 115200 , when i turn on the board
in normal mode the start up menu is appear

Hiwa
can u send me u-boot_movi_V0.1.bin for preparing sd-Card?

Hiwa
someone send me u-boot_movi_V0.1.bin for preparing sd-Card please

Hiwa
i fuse it on sd card but i can't booot , is the size of sd card is
important?
thanks deszo

hiwa
dear friends,
is the size of sd card or type of it important?

Dezso
I don't know, my cards are 512M and 2G both boots fine.

hiwa
finally i change the u-boot file and i see this error 

** Warning - bad CRC or moviNAND, using default environment

please help me

i need to GPIO driver for S3C6410
What i do??????

plonti
Can somebody explain to me how to use LEDdriver.dll via C# and .Net Compact
Framework 2.0?

As I understand LEDdriver is a part of coredll, so I tried to call a
LED_Init function like this:

[DllImport("coredll.dll", SetLastError = true)]
public static extern UInt32 LED_Init(UInt32 dwContext);

...
LED_Init(0);
...

And i've got an error: Can't find an Entry Point 'LED_Init' in a PInvoke
DLL 'coredll.dll'.

What should I do to make it work?

plonti
Additionally, I have LEDdriver.dll installed in my WINCE image.

angie
I have written a GPIO driver, It reads and writes GPE, GPM ve GPQ pins
successfully. If any of you are interested in you can connect me via email
wingsoflead01@hotmail.co.uk

Soolmaz
I need the Image that include LED Driver but the two links provided by
"dezso" are broken.
Do you have a live link for downloading this Image file (NK.bin)?
I really need that.
Thanks.
