Digi APIX PWM Sample Application
===================================
Sample application to access and manage PWM lines using the Digi APIX library.
The application enables one PWM line of the board using a frequency of
1000Hz. Then, progressively modifies the duty cycle in a loop from 10% to
90% and vice-versa.
The PWM lines used in the sample are mapped as follows in the Digi Boards:
- **CCIMX6 SBC**: PWM1 - Pin **10** of the parallel video (LCD) connector.
- **CCIMX6UL SBC Express**: PWM1 - Pin **27** of the expansion connector.
- **CCIMX6UL SBC Pro**: PWM4 - Pin **11** of the GPIO connector.
The following device tree modifications are required for the sample to work:
- **CCIMX6 SBC**:
```
/* PWM1 */
&pwm1 {
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_pwm1>;
status = "okay";
};
/* Pin mux configuration */
&iomuxc {
imx6q-ccimx6sbc {
pinctrl_pwm1: pwm1grp {
fsl,pins = <
MX6QDL_PAD_DISP0_DAT8__PWM1_OUT 0x110b0
>;
};
};
};
```
- **CCIMX6UL SBC Express**:
_No device tree modifications are required._
- **CCIMX6UL SBC Pro**:
```
/* PWM4 */
&pwm4 {
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_pwm4>;
clocks = <&clks IMX6UL_CLK_PWM4>,
<&clks IMX6UL_CLK_PWM4>;
status = "okay";
};
/* Pin mux configuration */
&iomuxc {
imx6ul-ccimx6ul {
pinctrl_pwm4: pwm4grp {
fsl,pins = <
MX6UL_PAD_GPIO1_IO05__PWM4_OUT 0x110b0
>;
};
};
};
```
Running the application
-----------------------
Once the binary is in the target, launch the application:
```
#> pwm-digiapix-sample
```
The sample applicaion is ready to work with all Digi platforms using the corresponding
PWM chip (0 by default) and a frequency of 1000Hz. If a different PWM chip or frequency
is required, the application allows 2 additional parameters in order to customize
these values:
```
#> pwm-digiapix-sample [pwm-chip pwm-freq]
```
Where:
- 'pwm-chip' is an optional PWM chip number.
- 'pwm-freq' is an optional frequency to use (Hz).
Compiling the application
-------------------------
This demo can be compiled using a Digi Embedded Yocto based toolchain. Make
sure to source the corresponding toolchain of the platform you are using, e.g:
```
$> . <DEY-toolchain-path>/environment-setup-cortexa7hf-vfp-neon-dey-linux-gnueabi
$> make
```
