Repurpose SPI on J10 for SLPI use
-
Hi, I would like to recompile the kernel so that the px4 on SLPI can use the SPI bus that's on J10. I looked at the kernel files and I think I understand how each Serial Engine is loaded up with a protocol that it uses. What I dont understand yet is what defines how each processor is able to access that QUP. Can someone help me with this? Maybe point me to some qualcomm documentation? I saw @modaltb configured a lot of the kernel files. Would you be willing to help with this?
Thanks.
Best, Andrii Hlyvko. -

This is not possible.
J10 is hardware set for APPs proc QUP, not SLPI.
Thanks!

@Vinny what exactly do you mean by "hardware set"? In the docs it says that 20 QUPs are configured for app processor and 8 for DSP. Cant I reconfigure which QUPs go to which pins in the kernel tree?

Hi @AndriiHlyvko
The chip is not infinity flexible. Many things are fixed/set in hardware meaning either the silicon device or the PCB. There is no internal cross-bar in the QRB5165 that allows for 100% remapping like on FPGAs.Please see these pages:
