The Enhanced Capture (ECAP) module can be used to timestamp events
detected on signal input pin. It can be used for time measurements
of pulse train signals.
ECAP module includes 4 timestamp capture registers. For all 4 sequenced
timestamp capture events (0->1->2->3->0->...), edge polarity (falling/rising
edge) can be selected.
This driver leverages counter subsystem to :
- select edge polarity for all 4 capture events (event mode)
- log timestamps for each capture event
Event polarity, and CAP0/1/2/3 timestamps give all the information
about the input pulse train. Further information can easily be computed :
period and/or duty cycle if frequency is constant, elapsed time between
pulses, etc...
Modifications since v5:
- Fix descriptions for capture items in sysfs-bus-counter ABI file
- Modify TI_ECAP_CAPTURE help in Kconfig file
- Replace ecap_event_id enum with defines
- Add callbacks to reset nb_ovf & TSCNT
- Modify action_read callback to serve both clock and input signals
- Modify watch_validate callback
- Replace 'count_cumul' with 'num_overflows' & 'ceiling' components
- Replace one-based index with zero-based index for polarityX & captureX
- Reverse clock & input signal order (0/1)
- Move the check for overflow outside of the for-loop (in ISR)
- Push each CAPx event to respective counter event channels (in ISR)
Userspace commands :
### CLOCK SIGNAL ###
cd /sys/bus/counter/devices/counter0/signal0
# Get frequency
cat frequency
### INPUT SIGNAL ###
cd /sys/bus/counter/devices/counter0/signal1
# Get available polarities for each capture event
cat polarity0_available
cat polarity1_available
cat polarity2_available
cat polarity3_available
# Get polarity for each capture event
cat polarity0
cat polarity1
cat polarity2
cat polarity3
# Set polarity for each capture event
echo rising edge > polarity0
echo falling edge > polarity1
echo rising edge > polarity2
echo falling edge > polarity3
### COUNT ###
cd /sys/bus/counter/devices/counter0/count0
# Get ceiling (counter max value)
cat ceiling
# Reset number of overflows & current timebase counter value
echo 0 > num_overflows
echo 0 > count
# Run ECAP
echo 1 > enable
# Get number of overflows & current timebase counter value
cat num_overflows
cat count
# Get captured timestamps
cat capture0
cat capture1
cat capture2
cat capture3
# Note that counter watches can also be used to get
# data from userspace application
# -> see tools/counter/counter_example.c
# Pause ECAP
echo 0 > enable
