  2. Best pinmux approach for Atmel sam soc (sam4s & same70)

Re: Best pinmux approach for Atmel sam soc (sam4s & same70)

Hi,
isn't better to put the pin config into the arch/.../soc_pinmap.h and then the user app is responsible for proper pin setup. As the same board can be used in various way (typically dev boards) and some MCU can map peripheral pin function to varios pins so the soc_pinmap.h  should contain all configuration variables and user have to select the correct one for his board. 

Best regards, 
Jiri

I’d avoid device tree for right now, it is were we want to be, but requires a bunch of other work we are making progress on.

So we should have a pinmux driver that sets pins, and than we have board level pin settings.  You can look at boards/arm/frdm_k64f/pinmux.c and drivers/pinmux/pinmux_mcux.c for an example/pattern to use.
