Description

Atmel SAM Pinctrl container node

The Atmel SAM pin controller is a singleton node responsible for controlling
pin function selection and pin properties. For example, you can use this node
to route USART0 RX to pin PA10 and enable the pull-up resistor on the pin.

The node has the 'pinctrl' node label set in your SoC's devicetree, so you can
modify it like this:

  &pinctrl {
          /* your modifications go here */
  };

All device pin configurations should be placed in child nodes of the 'pinctrl'
node, as shown in this example:

  /** You can put this in places like a <board>-pinctrl.dtsi file in
    * your board directory, or a devicetree overlay in your application.
    */

  /** include pre-defined combinations for the SoC variant used by the board */
  #include <dt-bindings/pinctrl/sam4sXc-pinctrl.h>

  &pinctrl {
    /* configuration for the usart0 "default" state */
    usart0_default: usart0_default {
      /* group 1 */
      group1 {
        /* configure PA6 as USART0 TX and PA8 as USART0 CTS */
        pinmux = <PA6A_USART0_TXD0>, <PA8A_USART0_CTS0>;
      };
      /* group 2 */
      group2 {
        /* configure PA5 as USART0 RX and PA7 as USART0 RTS */
        pinmux = <PA5A_USART0_RXD0>, <PA7A_USART0_RTS0>;
        /* both PA5 and PA7 have pull-up enabled */
        bias-pull-up;
      };
    };
  };

The 'usart0_default' child node encodes the pin configurations for a
particular state of a device; in this case, the default (that is, active)
state.

As shown, pin configurations are organized in groups within each child node.
Each group can specify a list of pin function selections in the 'pinmux'
property.

A group can also specify shared pin properties common to all the specified
pins, such as the 'bias-pull-up' property in group 2. Here is a list of
supported standard pin properties:

- bias-pull-up: Enable pull-up resistor.
- bias-pull-down: Enable pull-down resistor.
- drive-open-drain: Open-drain drive mode.

To link pin configurations with a device, use a pinctrl-N property for some
number N, like this example you could place in your board's DTS file:

  #include "board-pinctrl.dtsi"

  &usart0 {
        pinctrl-0 = <&usart0_default>;
        pinctrl-names = "default";
  };

Properties

Top level properties

These property descriptions apply to “atmel,sam-pinctrl” nodes themselves. This page also describes child node properties in the following sections.

Properties not inherited from the base binding file.

(None)

Properties inherited from the base binding file, which defines common properties that may be set on many nodes. Not all of these may apply to the “atmel,sam-pinctrl” compatible.

Name	Type	Details
`wakeup-source`	`boolean`	Property to identify that a device can be used as wake up source. When this property is provided a specific flag is set into the device that tells the system that the device is capable of wake up the system. Wake up capable devices are disabled (interruptions will not wake up the system) by default but they can be enabled at runtime if necessary.
`power-domain`	`phandle`	Power domain the device belongs to. The device will be notified when the power domain it belongs to is either suspended or resumed.
`zephyr,pm-device-runtime-auto`	`boolean`	Automatically configure the device for runtime power management after the init function runs.
`status`	`string`	indicates the operational status of a device Legal values: `'ok'`, `'okay'`, `'disabled'`, `'reserved'`, `'fail'`, `'fail-sss'` See Important properties for more information.
`compatible`	`string-array`	compatible strings This property is required. See Important properties for more information.
`reg`	`array`	register space See Important properties for more information.
`reg-names`	`string-array`	name of each register space
`interrupts`	`array`	interrupts for device See Important properties for more information.
`interrupts-extended`	`compound`	extended interrupt specifier for device
`interrupt-names`	`string-array`	name of each interrupt
`interrupt-parent`	`phandle`	phandle to interrupt controller node
`label`	`string`	Human readable string describing the device (used as device_get_binding() argument) See Important properties for more information. This property is deprecated.
`clocks`	`phandle-array`	Clock gate information
`clock-names`	`string-array`	name of each clock
`#address-cells`	`int`	number of address cells in reg property This property is required. Constant value: `1`
`#size-cells`	`int`	number of size cells in reg property This property is required. Constant value: `1`
`dmas`	`phandle-array`	DMA channels specifiers
`dma-names`	`string-array`	Provided names of DMA channel specifiers
`io-channels`	`phandle-array`	IO channels specifiers
`io-channel-names`	`string-array`	Provided names of IO channel specifiers
`mboxes`	`phandle-array`	mailbox / IPM channels specifiers
`mbox-names`	`string-array`	Provided names of mailbox / IPM channel specifiers
`zephyr,deferred-init`	`boolean`	Do not initialize device automatically on boot. Device should be manually initialized using device_init().

Grandchild node properties

Name	Type	Details
`bias-pull-up`	`boolean`	enable pull-up resistor
`bias-pull-down`	`boolean`	enable pull-down resistor
`drive-open-drain`	`boolean`	drive with open drain (hardware AND)
`pinmux`	`array`	An array of pins sharing the same group properties. The pins should be defined using pre-defined macros or, alternatively, using the SAM_PINMUX utility macros depending on the pinmux model used by the SoC series. This property is required.
