Hi there :call:
http://wiki.t-firefly.com/index.php/Firefly-RK3288/PWM/en
That guide describes only kernel space.
How to control hardware pwm in user space?
/sys/class/pwm doesn’t exist
Is there a way to enable sysfs pwm interface?
Thanks
there is no ready-made pwm in user space， need to write interface by youself, just like the backlight’s.
ok. i did it. I wrote a linux kernel module. when I tried insmode i got error in function pwm_config: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fffffe0b

in this module i use code from example http://wiki.t-firefly.com/index.php/Firefly-RK3288/PWM/en :
struct pwm_device *pwm0=NULL;
pwm0= pwm_request(0, “backlight-pwm”);
pwm_config(pwm0, 500000, 1000000);
What is wrong?
[ 1716.354256] [] (pwm_config+0x40/0x60) from [] (x_init+0x50/0xc0 [sysfs])
[ 1716.362695] [] (x_init+0x50/0xc0 [sysfs]) from [] (do_one_initcall+0x34/0xc8)
make sure your pwm0 is not NULL.
pwm_request() used to return bad structure because device name was incorrect .
Thank you for your answers , but i have some more questions)
- In dts file I found, that pwm1 used by pwm_regulator. Is it safe to disable this device?
- Is it possible to use pwm2 and pwm3? How to assign them with the pins?
P.S. sorry for my bad english
pwm_regulator is disabled, pwm1 can be used by yourself.
pwm2 and pwm3 can also be used, enable them in dts file as pwm1.
I need to achieve 10000 microseconds period.
pwm_config(1000000,10000000) didn’t work(
How to change timer resolution?
ok. prescale parameter is calculating in pwm-rockchip driver automatically. there is no reason to recalculate.
but…
When I set a period more than 850 microseconds, something strange is happening.
For example I set a period of 900 microseconds(pwm_config(500000,900000)). but according to oscilloscope real period is 450 microseconds. Is there a way to fix it?
Hi,
You can use this pwm-rockchip.c (see attachment) to replace the /kernel/drivers/pwm/pwm-rockchip.c, then recompile, this is can be normal use, the main reason is that # define PWMDCR_MAX_DUTY length is too small。

hi, madman. it’s not working(
I got 670 microsends period with pwm_config parameters: duty: 1600000, period: 2000000…
P.S. I tried to put the printk(“test_pwm\n”) code in each pwm_config function in pwm-rockchip.c, but the message didn’t appear in dmseg… wtf
hi，
I add printk in the probe，it can pritk. use pwm will use this function,
