  2. [Zephyr-users] Buggy PWM driver for nRF52

Hi Vinayak,

fade_led sample runs as expected. We are trying to generate PWM on two channels. Adding 

pwm_pin_set_usec(pwm_dev, PWM_CHANNEL0,PERIOD, pulse_width);
pwm_pin_set_usec(pwm_dev, PWM_CHANNEL1,PERIOD, pulse_width);

Creates unexpected behavior.

Hi Vikrant,

 

I have run the upstream fade_led sample on nrf52840-PDK, I see no regression, the brightness changes every second (up and then down so on).

I advice you to debug your implementation as I have no visibility to your design.

 

Regards,

Vinayak

Hi Vinayak,

I'm working nRF52840-PDK board.

Hi Vikrant,

 

Please try the PWM without the BT Controller included. There could be some PWM regression due to changes in controller implementation.

That said the nrf5_sw  driver is software variant designed for older nRF51 SoCs. For newer nRF52x series h/w PWM’s should be used.

 

Nrf5_sw will work provided careful mitigation of used PPI and timers between the driver and BT controller use.

 

Which SoC are you using?

 

Regards,

Vinayak

Hi Marti,

>>Are you using the latest master?

Yes

Hi Vikrant,

Three improvements to nRF PWM went in fairly recently:

 

3f1dbfda1 pwm: nrf5_sw: don't disable timer if another channel is still active

ab399a1cf pwm: nrf5_sw: do not use 'inversed' polarity by default

cec073c35 pwm: nrf5_sw: add support for SYS_LOG

 

Thanks,

Marti

I took reference of $zephy/samples/samples/fade_led project

 

& add following parameters in my prj.conf

 

CONFIG_STDOUT_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_PRINTK=y
CONFIG_PWM=y
CONFIG_SYS_LOG=y
CONFIG_SYS_LOG_PWM_LEVEL=4
 
Could you please inform me, what I should do besides this ??
 
Thank You !!

Hi Vikrant,

Did you configure what pins are associated to pwm duty_cycles on the menuconfig?

Best

Hello World !!

I've added following lines in my project main ()

    pwm_dev = device_get_binding(PWM_DRIVER);

    if (!pwm_dev)
    {
        printk("Cannot find %s!\n", PWM_DRIVER);
        return;
    }

   
    while(1)
    {
   
        if(pwm_pin_set_usec(pwm_dev, PWM_CHANNEL0, PERIOD, pulse_width0))
        {
            printk("pwm pin set fails\n");
        }

        if(pwm_pin_set_usec(pwm_dev, PWM_CHANNEL1, PERIOD, pulse_width1))
        {
            printk("pwm pin set fails\n");
        }

        k_sleep(100);
    }

And using bluetooth updating value of pulse_width0 & pulse_width1. Those two are defined as global variables.

pulse_width0 --> LED_1 on nrf52840_PDK
pulse_width1 --> LED_2 on nrf52840_PDK

I'm able to update value of both these variables using Bluetooth.

I used printk to check it. My logic is perfect.

But if I vary pulse_width0 then it affects intensity of LED2
& if I vary pulse_width1 then it affects intensity of LED1.

Why ? Is anyone found this BUG ?
