PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Final Objective 

  • Use w5500 as an Ethernet device on an intel x86_64 compatible UP4000 board.

Requirements

  • Linux
  • Linux kernel compilation environment
  • Linux kernel source
  • Software modifications such as dts to recognize w5500

Hardware

  • UP4000
  • wiz850io (w5500)

Done

  • Installed ubuntu 20.04
  • Set up a remote access environment
  • Installed openssh-server
  • Generated and registered certificates
  • Set up a Linux kernel compilation environment
  • Researched tools related to the up4000 board
  • Investigated and installed kernel compilation packages
  • Changed the system package repository
  • Removed automatically installed kernels
  • Installed a custom kernel for UP4000
  • Downloaded custom kernel source
  • Successfully compiled kernel source through debugging
  • Researched on registering spi drivers
  • Found content related only to Raspberry Pi
  • Kernel source dts exists only on the arm side.

Progress

  • Resolve WIZ850IO power problem
  • Verified GPIO control with pinctrl library
  • Debugged SPI recognition status in linux
    • kernel data structure involves about spi
    • SPI kernel module is loaded
    • SPI device file is not created
    • no any booting log about SPI recognition
  • found compile method for dtc into dtb

Plan

  • Register dts file with all method
    • find proper 'compatible' value
    • find proper initrd start address
    • find free gpio number for RST, INT pin
