  69. <p>I²C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) is a relatively low speed, 2-pin internal serial bus commonly used to connect chips with each other via addressed register reads and writes. In Reform, I²C is used in multiple places:</p>
  70. <ul>
  71. <li>Connecting the RTC (Realtime Clock) chip to the SoC.</li>
  72. <li>Controlling the WM8960 DAC/ADC chip from the SoC.</li>

  79. </ul>
  80. <h4 id="spi">SPI</h4>
  81. <p>SPI, the Serial Peripheral Interface, is another digital interface for communication between two chips. In Reform, there is a yet to be used SPI connection between the SoC and the LPC.</p>

  89. </ul>
  90. <h4 id="pcie">PCIe</h4>
  91. <p>Reform has physical slots on the motherboard for two mobile PCIe form factors: mPCIe and M.2 (also called NGFF) Key M. Each is connected to one of the two PCIe controllers of the SoC. Each controller has a single PCIe lane.</p>

  95. <h4 id="uart">UART</h4>
  96. <p>UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) is a type of serial port. In Reform, UARTs 1 and 2 of the default SoC are brought out to two 3-pin headers. UART1 (header J18, labelled SER2) exposes the default serial console. Connect a USB-UART cable from this header to another computer and set it to 115200 baud, 8N1. Then you can control the bootloader and see early kernel boot output.</p>

  100. <h4 id="hdmi">HDMI</h4>
  101. <p>The HDMI/DP block can encode and transfer framebuffers over HDMI or DisplayPort (muxed on the same signal lines). The driver has not yet been upstreamed by NXP and requires a signed non-ARM blob (Xtensa code) to be loaded into the HDMI/DP controller at boot. The vendor kernel driver can be hacked into a mainline kernel.</p>

  105. </ul>
  106. <h4 id="usb3">USB3</h4>
  107. <p>Reform has 3 external USB 3.0 ports and two internal USB 2.0 ports. All of these are derived from the two USB 2.0/3.0 root controllers in the SoC. One root controller (USB2) goes directly to the external USB port J17. The other controller, USB1 is split into the four remaining ports via the <a href="#usb-hub">USB hub chip</a> on the motherboard.</p>

  111. <h4 id="mmc">MMC/SD</h4>
  112. <p>Reform uses both USDHC MMC/SD controllers of i.MX8M:</p>
  113. <ul>
  114. <li>The first controller connects to an eMMC flash disk on the SOM (usually 8GB in size).</li>
  115. <li>
  116. <p>The second controller connects to the SD card slot on the motherboard via a level shifter. The level shifter converts between the SoC’s 1.8V and the SD card’s 3.3V signal levels.</p>

  146. </ul>
  147. <h2 id="dsi2edp">DSI to eDP Converter</h2>
  148. <p>The Reform motherboard has a TI SN65DSI86 (variant SN65DSI86IPAPQ1) chip that converts <a href="#dsi">MIPI-DSI</a> signals to eDP signals that the built-in <a href="#panel">display panel</a> can understand. The DSI output on the default SOM is available on a flat cable connector. A short, 30 pin FPC cable goes from the SOM into the motherboard’s MIPI-DSI input connector directly below the SOM. The DSI signals are routed from there to the SN65DSI86 chip.</p>
  149. <p>The eDP signals are available on the 2x15 pin, 2mm DuPont header J24. Normally, a cable is plugged into this header, routed through the right-hand screen hinge and it’s IPEX connector side plugged into the display panel.</p>
  150. <ul>
  151. <li>Input DSI lanes: 4 + Clock</li>
  152. <li>Output eDP lanes: 2 + AUX</li>

  164. <p>The 3.5mm audio jack, also called a TRRS jack (Tip/Ring/Ring/Sleeve) can be used to connect headphones, an external power amplifier or a headset with integrated microphone.</p>
  165. <p>The audio jack uses the CTIA standard to define which signals are located on which contacts on the plug:</p>
  166. <ul>
  167. <li>Tip: Left Speaker</li>
  168. <li>First Ring: Right Speaker</li>

  171. </ul>
  172. <h2 id="lpc">System Controller</h2>
  173. <p>Except for extreme undervoltage conditions (battery cells below 2.5V), the LPC is always running a C program that implements a state machine which watches over the battery cells and controls their charging and discharging/balancing.</p>
  174. <p>In addition, the LPC can toggle the main power rails in the system on and off via GPIOs going to the relevant voltage converters and load switches.</p>
  175. <p>The LPC can be directly controlled by <a href="#kbctrl">Circle commands given via the keyboard</a>.</p>

  247. <p>The following shortcuts are available indepdently of the main processor in Reform, even when the system is powered off. Acting like a primitive terminal, most shortcuts trigger a command string to be sent over the keyboard’s UART to the <a href="#lpc">LPC</a>. The LPC then responds with characters to display on the <a href="#oled">OLED</a>.</p>
  248. <p>In the 2.0D-3/D-4 development version:</p>
  249. <ul>
  250. <li><em>Circle + 1:</em> Turn on the main system (powers up 5V, 3V3 and PCIe rails)</li>
  251. <li><em>Circle + 0:</em> Turn off the main system (powers down 5V, 3V3 and PCIe rails)</li>
  252. <li><em>Circle + 2:</em> Turn off the OLED display (turned back on by any other command)</li>
  253. <li><em>Circle + F1:</em> Decrease keyboard backlight brightness</li>
  254. <li><em>Circle + F2:</em> Increase keyboard backlight brightness</li>
  255. <li><em>Circle + V:</em> Show voltages of all cells, total voltage and Amps going in or out of batteries plus charge percentage estimation.</li>
  256. <li><em>Circle + Y:</em> Show voltage and amps as measured by the <a href="#ina">INA260</a> voltage/current monitor.</li>
  257. <li><em>Circle + S:</em> Display LPC status (idle/charging, overvoltage/balancing, undervoltage)</li>
  258. </ul>
  259. <p>Keep in mind that <em>Circle + 0</em> powers off the system immediately, so save your work and make sure it is synced to disk before powering off. For example, use the <code>sync</code> or <code>shutdown</code> commands.</p>
