Hi Clemens
I have been testing something similar in other board (YSE5250-Exynos5).
First you must guarantee that the UART device driver is compatible with
the hardware or you must write an specific device driver.
I have tried to make a GPS device driver using the S3C2410 UART based on
the serial-drv package.
To connect the uart on the user land with my server i have configured
the HW.Device in a vbus with the IO server using this configuration:
-- File: yse5250.devs
local Hw = Io.Hw
local Res = Io.Res
Io.hw_add_devices
{
UART3 = Hw.Device
{
hid = "UART3";
Res.irq(86);
Res.mmio(0x12C30000, 0x12C3ffff);
}
}
To create the vbus, i have created the file yse5250.io:
-- File: yse5250.io
Io.add_vbusses
{
-- Create a virtual bus for a client and give access to UART3
uart03 = Io.Vi.System_bus(function ()
dev = wrap(Io.system_bus():match("UART3"));
end);
}
To run my server using the UART3 on the vbus have used this configuration
-- gps-drv.cfg
-- Run GPS Driver for YSE5250 (Exynos 5250)
require("L4");
-- Shortcuts
local ld = L4.default_loader;
local vbus_uart03 = ld:new_channel();
local platform_ctl = ld:new_channel();
local gps_srv = ld:new_channel();
-- Start the IO Server
ld:start(
{
caps = {
sigma0 = L4.cast(L4.Proto.Factory,
L4.Env.sigma0):create(L4.Proto.Sigma0);
icu = L4.Env.icu;
platform_ctl = platform_ctl:svr();
uart03 = vbus_uart03:svr();
},
log = { "IO Server", "green" },
l4re_dbg = L4.Dbg.Warn,
}, "rom/io rom/yse5250.devs rom/yse5250.io");
-- Start the GPS Driver Server conected to UART3
ld:start(
{
caps = {
gps_srv = gps_srv:svr();
vbus = vbus_uart03;
},
log = {"GPS Driver","blue"}
}, "rom/gps_drv");
The server code is very similar to:
/pkg/serial-drv/server/src/main.cc
But in my case i have adjusted the UART to use the S3C2410 uart.
Best regards
