Title: Hardware pwm in user space
Hi there
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?

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)
1. In dts file I found, that pwm1 used by pwm_regulator. Is it safe to disable this device?
2. Is it possible to use pwm2 and pwm3? How to assign them with the pins?

P.S. sorry for my bad english

Author: zhansb    Time: 12/25/2015 09:21
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?
Author: Key    Time: 12/29/2015 17:43
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
