Hardware PWM
ODROID-C2 Has two possible PWM ports.
Starting from Ubuntu Release (v1.1) or a kernel update performed on 2016-02-26 or later includes the PWM support.
Usage
For pin position, numbers and names, please refer to the pinmap Expansion Connector
To use PWM on Android,
you should insmod modules from .ko files first.
- target
$ su $ cd /lib/modules $ insmod pwm-meson.ko $ insmod pwm-ctrl.ko
Option 1: Single PWM
The code below loads the PWM module with a single PWM and the PWM controller module.
PWN PIN: 33
- target
sudo modprobe pwm-meson sudo modprobe pwm-ctrl
Option 2: Two PWMs
PWM PINS:
PWM0: 33
PWM1: 19
- target
sudo modprobe pwm-meson npwm=2 sudo modprobe pwm-ctrl
If you are using TWO pwm setup, PWM1 & SPI can not be used simultaneously.
Because GPIOX_7(pin19) has two function spi_mosi & pwm.
Examples of usage
You can control this pwm via simple sysfs entries.
In Android, /sys/devices/pwm-ctrl.v3.
And you should set the frequency first to use PWM.
On /sys/devices/platform/pwm-ctrl/, you'll find the following files:
In Ubuntu Image 18.04 or later, /sys/devices/pwm-ctrl.
duty0
Duty cycle of 1023 (10bit resolution)
- target
echo 102 > duty0
will result in 102/1023 (approx 10%) of Duty cycle.
- target
echo 512 > duty0
will result 50:50 of Duty cycle.
enable0
Enable/Disable this PWM
- target
echo 1 > enable0
Will enable this PWM
- target
echo 0 > enable0
Will disable this PWM.
freq0
This is the PWM Frequency in Hertz!
- target
echo 100000 > freq0
This will set the frequency to 100kHz
Maximum Frequency is 1Mhz.
On PWM0 you can test for higher frequencies. There are no guarantees! 1Mhz is what we support.
If you are using TWO pwm setup, You have: enable0, freq0, duty0 AND enable1, freq1, duty1
