Properties

Properties not inherited from the base binding file.

Name

Type

Details

clock-frequency

int

The frequency of the clock signal provided to the TMC51XX.
This is used for real world conversion.

Hint: µstep velocity v[Hz] µsteps / s v[Hz] = v[51xx] * ( fCLK[Hz]/2 / 2^23 )
      where v[51xx] is the value written to the TMC51XX.

This property is required.

diag0-gpios

phandle-array

Diagnostics output DIAG0 pin. This pin enables interrupt-based
rampstat handling, allowing the driver to respond to motor events
like position reached or stall detection without polling.
Should be configured as push-pull output (active high).

spi-max-frequency

int

Maximum clock frequency of device's SPI interface in Hz

This property is required.

duplex

int

Duplex mode, full or half. By default it's always full duplex thus 0
as this is, by far, the most common mode.
Use the macros not the actual enum value, here is the concordance
list (see dt-bindings/spi/spi.h)
  0    SPI_FULL_DUPLEX
  2048 SPI_HALF_DUPLEX

Legal values: 0, 2048

frame-format

int

Motorola or TI frame format. By default it's always Motorola's,
thus 0 as this is, by far, the most common format.
Use the macros not the actual enum value, here is the concordance
list (see dt-bindings/spi/spi.h)
  0     SPI_FRAME_FORMAT_MOTOROLA
  32768 SPI_FRAME_FORMAT_TI

Legal values: 0, 32768

spi-cpol

boolean

SPI clock polarity which indicates the clock idle state.
If it is used, the clock idle state is logic high; otherwise, low.

spi-cpha

boolean

SPI clock phase that indicates on which edge data is sampled.
If it is used, data is sampled on the second edge; otherwise, on the first edge.

spi-hold-cs

boolean

In some cases, it is necessary for the master to manage SPI chip select
under software control, so that multiple spi transactions can be performed
without releasing it. A typical use case is variable length SPI packets
where the first spi transaction reads the length and the second spi transaction
reads length bytes.

supply-gpios

phandle-array

GPIO specifier that controls power to the device.

This property should be provided when the device has a dedicated
switch that controls power to the device.  The supply state is
entirely the responsibility of the device driver.

Contrast with vin-supply.

vin-supply

phandle

Reference to the regulator that controls power to the device.
The referenced devicetree node must have a regulator compatible.

This property should be provided when device power is supplied
by a shared regulator.  The supply state is dependent on the
request status of all devices fed by the regulator.

Contrast with supply-gpios.  If both properties are provided
then the regulator must be requested before the supply GPIOS is
set to an active state, and the supply GPIOS must be set to an
inactive state before releasing the regulator.

test-mode

boolean

Enable test mode
0: Normal operation
1: Enable analog test output on pin REFR2
TEST_SEL selects the function of REFR2: 0…4: T120, DAC1, VDDH1, DAC2, VDDH2

Attention: Not for user, set to 0 for normal operation!

en-pwm-mode

boolean

1: StealthChop voltage PWM mode enabled
   (depending on velocity thresholds). Switch from
   off to on state while in stand-still and at IHOLD=
   nominal IRUN current, only.

invert-direction

boolean

Invert motor direction.

micro-step-res

int

micro-step resolution to be set while initializing the device driver.

Default value: 1

Legal values: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256

en-gpios

phandle-array

GPIO pins used to control the enable signal of the motor driver.

step-gpios

phandle-array

The GPIO pins used to send step signals to the stepper motor.

dir-gpios

phandle-array

The GPIO pins used to send direction signals to the stepper motor.
Pin will be driven high for forward direction and low for reverse direction.

counter

phandle

Counter used for generating step-accurate pulse signals.

vstart

int

Motor start velocity in [µsteps/t](unsigned)

Normally, set VSTOP ≥ VSTART! VSTART may be
set to a higher value, when motion distance is
sufficient to allow deceleration to VSTOP.

Default value: 1

a1

int

First acceleration between VSTART and V1 in [µsteps/ta²](unsigned)

v1

int

First acceleration / deceleration phase threshold velocity in [µsteps/t] (unsigned)

0: Disables A1 and D1 phase, use AMAX, DMAX only

amax

int

Second acceleration between V1 and VMAX in [µsteps/ta²](unsigned)
This is the acceleration and deceleration value
for velocity mode.

vmax

int

Motion ramp target velocity in [µsteps/t] (for positioning ensure VMAX ≥ VSTART) (unsigned)
This is the target velocity in velocity mode. It can be changed any time during a motion.

dmax

int

Deceleration between VMAX and V1 in [µsteps/ta²](unsigned)

d1

int

Deceleration between V1 and VSTOP in [µsteps/ta²](unsigned)

Attention: Do not set 0 in positioning mode,
even if V1=0!

Default value: 1

vstop

int

Motor stop velocity in [µsteps/t] (unsigned)

Attention: Set VSTOP ≥ VSTART!

Attention: Do not set 0 in positioning mode,
minimum 10 recommended!

Default value: 10

tzerowait

int

Waiting time after ramping down to zero velocity before next movement or direction
inversion can start and before motor power down starts. Time range is about 0 to 2
seconds. This setting avoids excess acceleration e.g. from VSTOP to -VSTART.

ihold

int

Hold current in % of run current (0-100)
Standstill current (0=1/32…31=32/32)
In combination with StealthChop mode, setting IHOLD=0 allows to choose freewheeling or coil
short circuit for motor stand still

irun

int

Motor run current (0=1/32…31=32/32)
Hint: Choose sense resistors in a way, that normal
IRUN is 16 to 31 for best microstep performance.

iholddelay

int

Controls the number of clock cycles for motor power down after a motion as soon as TZEROWAIT
has expired. The smooth transition avoids a motor jerk upon power down.
0: instant power down
1..15: Delay per current reduction step in multiple of 2^18 clocks

tcoolthrs

int

This is the lower threshold velocity for switching on smart
energy CoolStep and StallGuard feature. (unsigned)
Set this parameter to disable CoolStep at low speeds, where it
cannot work reliably. The stop on stall function (enable with
sg_stop when using internal motion controller) and the stall
output signal become enabled when exceeding this velocity. In
non-DcStep mode, it becomes disabled again once the velocity
falls below this threshold.
TCOOLTHRS ≥ TSTEP ≥ THIGH:
- CoolStep is enabled, if configured
- StealthChop voltage PWM mode is disabled
TCOOLTHRS ≥ TSTEP
- Stop on stall is enabled, if configured
- Stall output signal (DIAG0/1) is enabled, if configured

thigh

int

This velocity setting allows velocity dependent switching into
a different chopper mode and fullstepping to maximize torque.
(unsigned)
The stall detection feature becomes switched off for 2-3
electrical periods whenever passing THIGH threshold to
compensate for the effect of switching modes.
TSTEP ≤ THIGH:
- CoolStep is disabled (motor runs with normal current
scale)
- StealthChop voltage PWM mode is disabled
- If vhighchm is set, the chopper switches to chm=1
with TFD=0 (constant off time with slow decay, only).
- If vhighfs is set, the motor operates in fullstep mode,
and the stall detection becomes switched over to
DcStep stall detection.

tpwmthrs

int

This is the upper velocity for StealthChop voltage PWM mode.
TSTEP ≥ TPWMTHRS
- StealthChop PWM mode is enabled, if configured
- DcStep is disabled

tpowerdown

int

TPOWERDOWN sets the delay time after stand still (stst) of the
motor to motor current power down. Time range is about 0 to
4 seconds.
Attention: A minimum setting of 2 is required to allow
automatic tuning of StealthChop PWM_OFS_AUTO.
Reset Default = 10
0…((2^8)-1) * 2^18 tCLK

Default value: 10

activate-stallguard2

boolean

Enable StallGuard2 feature, if the driver supports it.

stallguard2-threshold

int

This signed value controls StallGuard2 level for stall  output and sets the
optimum measurement range for readout. A lower value gives a higher sensitivity.
Zero is the starting value working with most motors.

-64 to +63: A higher value makes StallGuard2 less sensitive and requires more torque
to indicate a stall.

stallguard-threshold-velocity

int

Threshold velocity for StallGuard2 to detect a stall event.
This value should be greater than zero.

Default value: 1

stallguard-velocity-check-interval-ms

int

Stallguard should not be enabled during motor spin-up.
This delay is used to check if the actual stepper velocity is greater than
stallguard-threshold-velocity before enabling stallguard.

Default value: 100
