Preparing Buildroot
For this tutorial to work we need to set up a new copy of buildroot and switch to an earlier version of it.
Create a new directory and clone the buildroot repository and switch to version 2020.05.3:
| Codeblock | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
mkdir lab3
cd lab3
git clone git://git.buildroot.net/buildroot
cd buildroot
git checkout -b bme280 2020.05.3 |
Enabling the I2C bus
An introduction to the Device Tree
...
This stm32mp157c-dk2.dts describes the hardware of our Discovery Kit 2 platform. In fact, it only describes what is specific to the Discovery Kit 2: the display panel, the touchscreen, the WiFi and Bluetooth chip. Everything else is common with the Discovery Kit 1 platform, which is why the stm32mp157c-dk2.dts file includes the arm/boot/dts/stm32mp157a-dk1.dts file. Indeed, stm32mp157a-dk1.dts describes the hardware on the Discovery Kit 1, which is the same as the Discovery Kit 2, without the display, touchscreen and WiFi/Bluetooth chip.

- arm/boot/dts/stm32mp157c.dtsi, which describes all the devices inside the STM32MP157 system-on-chip. It will be used by all Device Tree files describing boards based on the STM32MP157 processor.
- arm/boot/dts/stm32mp157c-m4-srm.dtsi, which describes the Cortex-M4 resources, which we are not going to discuss further for the moment
- arm/boot/dts/stm32mp157cac-pinctrl.dtsi, which provides some pin-muxing related details, which are specific to the SoC package being used.

I2C controllers in the Device Tree
...
At this point, our linux/ folder contains the exact same source code as what Buildroot has retrieved. It is time to make our Device Tree change by editing arch/arm/boot/dts/stm32mp157cstm32mp157a-dk2dk1.dtsdts and at the end of it, add:
