27.Dt IMX_SPI 4
28.Os
29.Sh NAME
30.Nm imx_spi
31.Nd device driver for the NXP i.MX family Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
32.Sh SYNOPSIS
33To compile this driver into the kernel,
34place the following line in your
35kernel configuration file:
36.Bd -ragged -offset indent
37.Cd "device imx_spi"
38.Ed
39.Pp
40Alternatively, to load the driver as a
41module at boot time, place the following line in
42.Xr loader.conf 5 :
43.Bd -literal -offset indent
44imx_spi_load="YES"
45.Ed
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Nm
49driver provides support for the
50.Sq ECSPI
51(Enhanced Configurable SPI) hardware present on the NXP i.MX family
52of processors.
53While the ECSPI hardware supports both master and slave mode,
54this driver currently operates only in master mode.
55.Pp
56Due to hardware quirks, the
57.Nm
58driver requires that all chip select pins be configured as GPIO pins.
59Use the FDT property
60.Sq cs-gpios
61to specify which pins to use as chip selects.
62You may use any GPIO pins, including the ones that the hardware would
63normally use as SPI select pins; just configure them as GPIO in the
64.Xr fdt_pinctrl 4
65data.
66.Pp
67.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
68The following variables are available via
69.Xr sysctl 8 ,
70and as
71.Xr loader 8
72tunables:
73.Bl -tag -width indent
74.It Va dev.imx_spi.%d.debug
75Output debugging info when non-zero.
76A value of 1 displays information about bus transfers,
772 adds information about bus clock frequency and chip select activity,
78and 3 adds information about interrupt handling.
79.El
80.Sh SEE ALSO
81.Xr fdt 4 ,
82.Xr fdt_pinctrl 4 ,
83.Xr sysctl 8
84.Sh HISTORY
85The
86.Nm
87driver first appeared in
88.Fx 12.0 .
