I am adding a 2nd I2C device (pn547 NFC controller) on same I2C bus as RTC on colibri evaluation board. I added a child node of I2C side-by-side with RTC device in imx6dl-colibri-eval-v3.dts file as the following:
/* M41T0M6 real time clock on carrier board */
rtc_i2c: rtc@68 {
compatible = "st,m41t0";
reg = <0x68>;
};
+ /* NFC Controller on carrier board */
+ pn547: pn547@28 {
+ compatible = "nxp,pn547";
+ reg = <0x28>;
+ clock-frequency = <400000>;
+ interrupt-gpios = <&gpio2 2 0>;
+ enable-gpios = <&gpio2 6 0>;
};
After building the device tree and flashing, I only see RTC device node with address 68 by i2cdetect command . It’s not showing new device being added.with address 28.

What am I missing in device tree?

What am I missing in device tree?
I would suggest to first check the h/w connections, as the slave address is not ACKed while checking with i2cdetect.
Secondly the driver, at least the 4.1 kernel doesn’t have PN547 driver. Not sure, are you following this application note of NXP for driver ?
Yes, I did follow instructions in that application note to build PN547 driver.
I just removed the RTC in the device tree file and disconnected the RTC by removing corresponding jumpers on the board. Now I don’t see any devices with command “i2cdetect -y -r 2”.
root@colibri-imx6:~# i2cdetect -y -r 2
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f

50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
But I do see address 28 showing up with command “i2cdetect 2”.

WARNING! This program can confuse your I2C bus, cause data loss and worse!
I will probe file /dev/i2c-2.

-r option with i2cdetect uses SMBUS read and this is known to lock SMBus on various write-only chips, have a look at the man page here. At least the slave device on the bus is active. Did the driver loaded successfully ? Seems the driver need to be build as an external kernel module. Can you check for any debug messages from the driver after loading it ?
The kernel has built-in driver.How do I check if the driver is loaded successfully? The kernel start-up log does not show anything related to the driver.
I can configure kernel to build driver as module (pn5xx_i2c.ko). But after the module is built, how do I add it to rootfs?

For kernel module deployment hints, refer this article.
Do you also configure the pinmuxing of interrupt and enable IOs ?

I pulled the driver and enabled it via device tree, I could see some debug logs during boot.

Did you compile the module (# make modules) ?
As such sudo -E should preserve your existing env variable values.
How exactly the CROSS_COMPILE variable got exported ?
I forgot to run “make -j3 modules” before installing the module. Now the deployment command is working now.
Thank you for the patches. It looks like the driver module was loaded successfully. The demo app is now running without any issues.
I did not configure the pinmuxing of interrupt and enable IOs. That seems fine.
Thank you very very much for your help.
William
