Parallel IO

Introduction

The Parallel IO peripheral is a general purpose parallel interface that can be used to connect to external devices such as LED matrix, LCD display, Printer and Camera. The peripheral has independent TX and RX units. Each unit can have up to 8 or 16 data signals plus 1 or 2 clock signals. 1

警告

At the moment, the Parallel IO driver only supports TX mode. The RX feature is still working in progress.

备注

User can deregister a previously registered callback by calling this function and setting the callback member in the cbs structure to NULL.

备注

When CONFIG_PARLIO_ISR_IRAM_SAFE is enabled, the callback itself and functions called by it should be placed in IRAM. The variables used in the function should be in the SRAM as well. The user_data should also reside in SRAM.

参数

备注

After the function returns, it doesn't mean the transaction is finished. This function only constructs a transcation structure and push into a queue.

Structures

struct parlio_tx_unit_config_t

Parallel IO TX unit configuration.

Public Members

parlio_clock_source_t clk_src

Parallel IO internal clock source

gpio_num_t clk_in_gpio_num

If the clock source is input from external, set the corresponding GPIO number. Otherwise, set to -1 and the driver will use the internal clk_src as clock source. This option has higher priority than clk_src

uint32_t input_clk_src_freq_hz

Frequency of the input clock source, valid only if clk_in_gpio_num is not -1

uint32_t output_clk_freq_hz

Frequency of the output clock. It's divided from either internal clk_src or external clock source

size_t data_width

Parallel IO data width, can set to 1/2/4/8/..., but can't bigger than PARLIO_TX_UNIT_MAX_DATA_WIDTH

gpio_num_t data_gpio_nums[PARLIO_TX_UNIT_MAX_DATA_WIDTH]

Parallel IO data GPIO numbers, if any GPIO is not used, you can set it to -1

gpio_num_t clk_out_gpio_num

GPIO number of the output clock signal, the clock is synced with TX data

gpio_num_t valid_gpio_num

GPIO number of the valid signal, which stays high when transferring data. Note that, the valid signal will always occupy the MSB data bit

size_t trans_queue_depth

Depth of internal transaction queue

size_t max_transfer_size

Maximum transfer size in one transaction, in bytes. This decides the number of DMA nodes will be used for each transaction

Set the order of packing the bits into bytes (only works when data_width < 8)

uint32_t clk_gate_en

Enable TX clock gating, the output clock will be controlled by the MSB bit of the data bus, i.e. by data_gpio_nums[PARLIO_TX_UNIT_MAX_DATA_WIDTH-1]. High level to enable the clock output, low to disable

uint32_t io_loop_back

For debug/test, the signal output from the GPIO will be fed to the input path as well

Extra configuration flags

struct parlio_tx_done_event_data_t

Type of Parallel IO TX done event data.

struct parlio_tx_event_callbacks_t

Different ESP chip series might have different numbers of PARLIO TX/RX instances, and the maximum data bus can also be different. For more details, please refer to ESP32-C6 Technical Reference Manual > Chapter Parallel IO (PARLIO) [PDF]. The driver does not forbid you from applying for more driver objects, but it returns error when all available hardware resources are used up. Please always check the return value when doing resource allocation (e.g., parlio_new_tx_unit()).
