| Improved Inter-Integrated Circuit (I3C) Bus |
| ########################################### |
| |
| I3C (Improved Inter-Integrated Circuit) is a two-signal shared |
| peripheral interface bus. Devices on the bus can operate in |
| two roles: as a "controller" that initiates transactions and |
| controls the clock, or as a "target" that responds to transaction |
| commands. |
| |
| Currently, the API is based on `I3C Specification`_ version 1.1.1. |

| I3C Controller API |
| ****************** |
| |
| Zephyr's I3C controller API is used when an I3C controller controls |
| the bus, particularly the start and stop conditions and the clock. |
| This is the most common mode, used to interact with I3C target |
| devices such as sensors. |
| |
| Due to the nature of the I3C, there are devices on the bus where |
| they may not have addresses when powered on. Therefore, an additional |
| dynamic address assignment needs to be carried out by the I3C |
| controller. Because of this, the controller needs to maintain |
| separate structures to keep track of device status. This can be done |
| at build time, for example, by creating arrays of device descriptors |
| for both I3C and I\ :sup:`2`\ C devices: |
| |
| .. code-block:: c |
| |
| static struct i3c_device_desc i3c_device_array[] = I3C_DEVICE_ARRAY_DT_INST(inst); |
| static struct i3c_i2c_device_desc i2c_device_array[] = I3C_I2C_DEVICE_ARRAY_DT_INST(inst); |
| |
| The macros :c:macro:`I3C_DEVICE_ARRAY_DT_INST` and |
| :c:macro:`I3C_I2C_DEVICE_ARRAY_DT_INST` are helper macros to aid in |
| create arrays of device descriptors corresponding to the devicetree |
| nodes under the I3C controller. |
| |
| Here is a list of generic steps for initializing the I3C |
| controller and the I3C bus inside the device driver |
| initialization function: |
| |
| #. Initialize the data structure of the I3C controller device |
| driver instance. The usual device defining macros such as |
| :c:macro:`DEVICE_DT_INST_DEFINE` can be used, and the initialization |
| function provided as a parameter to the macro. |
| |
| * The :c:struct:`i3c_addr_slots` and :c:struct:`i3c_dev_list` are |
| structures to aid in address assignments and device list management. |
| If this is being used, this struct needs to be initialized by calling |
| :c:func:`i3c_addr_slots_init`. These two structures can also be used |
| with various helper functions. |
| |
| * Initialize the device descriptors if needed by the controller |
| driver. |
| |
| #. Initialize the hardware, including but not limited to: |
| |
| * Setup pin mux and directions. |
| |
| * Setup the clock for the controller. |
| |
| * Power on the hardware. |
| |
| * Configure the hardware (e.g. SCL clock frequency). |
| |
| #. Perform bus initialization. There is a generic helper function, |
| :c:func:`i3c_bus_init`, which performs the following steps. |
| This function can be used if the controller does not require |
| any special handling during bus initialization. |
| |
| #. Do ``RSTDAA`` to reset dynamic addresses of connected devices. |
| If any connected devices have already been assigned an address, |
| the bookkeeping data structures do not have records of these, |
| for example, at power-on. So it is a good idea to reset and |
| assign them new addresses. |
| |
| #. Do ``DISEC`` to disable any events from devices. |
| |
| #. Do ``SETDASA`` to assign a dynamic address using the static address of the device |
| if so desired. |
| |
| * ``SETAASA`` may not be supported for all connected devices |
| to assign static addresses as dynamic addresses. |
| |
| * BCR and DCR need to be obtained separately to populate |
| the relevant fields in the I3C target device descriptor |
| struct. |
| |
| #. Do ``ENTDAA`` to start dynamic address assignment, if there are |
| still devices without addresses. |
| |
| * If there is a device waiting for address, it will send |
| its Provisioned ID, BCR, and DCR back. Match the received |
| Provisioned ID to the list of registered I3C devices. |
| |
| * If there is a match, assign an address (either from |
| the stated static address if ``SETDASA`` has not been |
| done, or use a free address). |
| |
| * Also, set the BCR and DCR fields in the device descriptor |
| struct. |
| |
| * If there is no match, depending on policy, it can be |
| assigned a free address, or the device driver can stop |
| the assignment process and errors out. |
| |
| * Note that the I3C API requires device descriptor to |
| function. A device without a device descriptor cannot be |
| accessed through the API. |
| |
| * This step can be skipped if there is no connected devices |
| requiring DAA. |
| |
| #. These are optional but highly recommended: |
| |
| * Do ``GETMRL`` and ``GETMWL`` to get maximum read/write |
| length. |
| |
| * Do ``GETMXDS`` to get maximum read/write speed and maximum |
| read turnaround time. |
| |
| * The helper function, :c:func:`i3c_bus_init`, would retrieve |
| basic device information such as BCR, DCR, MRL and MWL. |
| |
| #. Do ``ENEC`` to re-enable events from devices. |
| |
| * The helper function, :c:func:`i3c_bus_init`, only re-enables |
| hot-join events. IBI event should only be enabled when |
| enabling IBI of a device. |
| |
| In-Band Interrupt (IBI) |
| ======================= |
| |
| If a target device can generate In-Band Interrupt (IBI), |
| the controller needs to be made aware of it. |
| |
| * :c:func:`i3c_ibi_enable` to enable IBI of a target device. |
| |
| * Some controller hardware have IBI slots which need to be |
| programmed so that the controller can recognize incoming IBIs |
| from a particular target device. |
| |
| * If the hardware has IBI slots, :c:func:`i3c_ibi_enable` |
| needs to program those IBI slots. |
| |
| * Note that there are usually limited IBI slots on |
| the controller so this operation may fail. |
| |
| * The implementation in driver should also send the ``ENEC`` command |
| to enable interrupt of this target device. |
| |
| * :c:func:`i3c_ibi_disable` to disable IBI of a target device. |
| |
| * If controller hardware makes use of IBI slots, this will remove |
| description of the target device from the slots. |
| |
| * The implementation in driver should also send the ``DISEC`` command |
| to disable interrupt of this target device. |
| |
| Device Tree |
| =========== |
| |
| Here is an example for defining a I3C controller in device tree: |
| |
| .. code-block:: devicetree |
| |
| i3c0: i3c@10000 { |
| compatible = "vendor,i3c"; |
| |
| #address-cells = < 0x3 >; |
| #size-cells = < 0x0 >; |
| |
| reg = < 0x10000 0x1000 >; |
| interrupts = < 0x1F 0x0 >; |
| |
| pinctrl-0 = < &pinmux-i3c >; |
| pinctrl-names = "default"; |
| |
| i2c-scl-hz = < 400000 >; |
| |
| i3c-scl-hz = < 12000000 >; |
| |
| status = "okay"; |
| |
| i3c-dev0: i3c-dev0@420000ABCD12345678 { |
| compatible = "vendor,i3c-dev"; |
| |
| reg = < 0x42 0xABCD 0x12345678 >; |
| |
| status = "okay"; |
| }; |
| |
| i2c-dev0: i2c-dev0@380000000000000050 { |
| compatible = "vendor-i2c-dev"; |
| |
| reg = < 0x38 0x0 0x50 >; |
| |
| status = "okay"; |
| }; |
| }; |
| |
| I3C Devices |
| ----------- |
| |
| For I3C devices, the ``reg`` property has 3 elements: |
| |
| * The first one is the static address of the device. |
| |
| * Can be zero if static address is not used. Address will be |
| assigned during DAA (Dynamic Address Assignment). |
| |
| * If non-zero and property ``assigned-address`` is not set, |
| this will be the address of the device after SETDASA |
| (Set Dynamic Address from Static Address) is issued. |
| |
| * Second element is the upper 16-bit of the Provisioned ID (PID) |
| which contains the manufacturer ID left-shifted by 1. This is |
| the bits 33-47 (zero-based) of the 48-bit Provisioned ID. |
| |
| * Third element contains the lower 32-bit of the Provisioned ID |
| which is a combination of the part ID (left-shifted by 16, |
| bits 16-31 of the PID) and the instance ID (left-shifted by 12, |
| bits 12-15 of the PID). |
| |
| Note that the unit-address (the part after ``@``) must match |
| the ``reg`` property fully where each element is treated as |
| 32-bit integer, combining to form a 96-bit integer. This is |
| required for properly generating device tree macros. |
| |
| I\ :sup:`2`\ C Devices |
| ---------------------- |
| |
| For I\ :sup:`2`\ C devices where the device driver has support for |
| working under I3C bus, the device node can be described as |
| a child of the I3C controller. If the device driver is written to |
| only work with I\ :sup:`2`\ C controllers, define the node under |
| the I\ :sup:`2`\ C virtual controller as described below. |
| Otherwise, the ``reg`` property, similar to I3C devices, |
| has 3 elements: |
| |
| * The first one is the static address of the device. This must be |
| a valid address as I\ :sup:`2`\ C devices do not support |
| dynamic address assignment. |
| |
| * Second element is always zero. |
| |
| * This is used by various helper macros to determine whether |
| the device tree entry corresponds to a I\ :sup:`2`\ C device. |
| |
| * Third element is the LVR (Legacy Virtual Register): |
| |
| * bit[31:8] are unused. |
| |
| * bit[7:5] are the I\ :sup:`2`\ C device index: |
| |
| * Index ``0`` |
| |
| * I3C device has a 50 ns spike filter where it is not |
| affected by high frequency on SCL. |
| |
| * Index ``1`` |
| |
| * I\ :sup:`2`\ C device does not have a 50 ns spike filter but |
| can work with high frequency on SCL. |
| |
| * Index ``2`` |
| |
| * I3C device does not have a 50 ns spike filter and |
| cannot work with high frequency on SCL. |
| |
| * bit[4] is the I\ :sup:`2`\ C mode indicator: |
| |
| * ``0`` is FM+ mode. |
| |
| * ``1`` is FM mode. |
| |
| Similar to I3C devices, the unit-address must match the ``reg`` |
| property fully where each element is treated as 32-bit integer, |
| combining to form a 96-bit integer. |
| |
| Device Drivers for I3C Devices |
| ============================== |
| |
| All of the transfer functions of I3C controller API require |
| the use of device descriptors, :c:struct:`i3c_device_desc`. |
| This struct contains runtime information about a I3C device, |
| such as, its dynamic address, BCR, DCR, MRL and MWL. Therefore, |
| the device driver of a I3C device should grab a pointer to |
| this device descriptor from the controller using |
| :c:func:`i3c_device_find`. This function takes an ID parameter |
| of type :c:struct:`i3c_device_id` for matching. The returned |
| pointer can then be used in subsequent API calls to |
| the controller. |
| |
| I\ :sup:`2`\ C Devices under I3C Bus |
| ==================================== |
| |
| Since I3C is backward compatible with I\ :sup:`2`\ C, the I3C controller |
| API can accommodate I2C API calls without modifications if the controller |
| device driver implements the I2C API. This has the advantage of using |
| existing I2C devices without any modifications to their device drivers. |
| However, since the I3C controller API works on device descriptors, |
| any calls to I2C API will need to look up the corresponding device |
| descriptor from the I2C device address. This adds a bit of processing |
| cost to any I2C API calls. |
| |
| On the other hand, a device driver can be extended to utilize native |
| I2C device support via the I3C controller API. During device |
| initialization, :c:func:`i3c_i2c_device_find` needs to be called to |
| retrieve the pointer to the device descriptor. This pointer can be used |
| in subsequent API calls. |
| |
| Note that, with either methods mentioned above, the devicetree node of |
| the I2C device must be declared according to I3C standard: |
| |
| The I\ :sup:`2`\ C virtual controller device driver provides a way to |
| interface I\ :sup:`2`\ C devices on the I3C bus where the associated |
| device drivers can be used as-is without modifications. This requires |
| adding an intermediate node in the device tree: |
| |
| .. code-block:: devicetree |
| |
| i3c0: i3c@10000 { |
| <... I3C controller related properties ...> |
| <... Nodes of I3C devices, if any ...> |
| |
| i2c-dev0: i2c-dev0@420000000000000050 { |
| compatible = "vendor-i2c-dev"; |
| |
| reg = < 0x42 0x0 0x50 >; |
| |
| status = "okay"; |
| }; |
| }; |
