[PATCH v4 1/3] mfd: ch341: add core driver for the WCH CH341 in I2C/GPIO mode

From: frank zago
Date: Mon Mar 21 2022 - 00:32:03 EST


The CH341 is a multifunction chip, presenting 3 different USB PID. One
of these functions is for I2C/SPI/GPIO. This new set of drivers will
manage I2C and GPIO.

+===========================================================
+WinChipHead (沁恒) CH341 linux driver for I2C and GPIO mode
+===========================================================
+
+The CH341 is declined in several flavors, and may support one or more
+of UART, SPI, I2C and GPIO, but not always simultaneously:
+
+ - CH341 A/B/F: UART, Printer, SPI, I2C and GPIO
+ - CH341 C/T: UART and I2C
+ - CH341 H: SPI
+
+They work in 3 different modes, with only one being presented
+depending on the USB PID:
+
+ - 0x5523: UART mode, covered by the USB `ch341` serial driver
+ - 0x5512: SPI/I2C/GPIO mode, covered by the MFD `ch341-mfd` driver
+ - 0x5584: Parallel printer mode, covered by the USB `usblp` driver
+
+Mode selection is done at the hardware level by tying some
+pins. Breakout boards with one of the CH341 chip usually have one or
+more jumpers to select which mode they work on. At least one model
+(CJMCU-341) appears to need bridging some solder pads to select a
+different default. Breakout boards also don't usually offer an option
+to configure the chip into printer mode; for that case, connect the
+SCL and SDA lines directly together.
+
+The various CH341 appear to be indistinguishable from the
+software. For instance the ch341 MFD driver will present a GPIO
+interface for the CH341T although physical pins are not present, and
+the device will accept GPIO commands.
+
+The ch341 MFD driver has been tested with a CH341A, CH341B and
+CH341T.
+
+Some breakout boards work in 3.3V and 5V depending on some jumpers.
+
+The black chip programmer with a ZIF socket will power the CH341 at
+3.3V if a jumper is set, but will only output 5V to the chips to be
+programmed, which is not always desirable. A hardware hack to use 3.3V
+everywhere, involving some soldering, is available at
+https://eevblog.com/forum/repair/ch341a-serial-memory-programmer-power-supply-fix/
+
+Some sample code for the CH341 is available at the manufacturer
+website, at http://wch-ic.com/products/CH341.html
+
+The repository at https://github.com/boseji/CH341-Store contains a lot
+of information on these chips, including datasheets.
+
+This driver is based on the pre-existing work at
+https://github.com/gschorcht/i2c-ch341-usb
+
+
+I2C Caveats
+-----------
+
+The ch341 doesn't work with a Wii nunchuk, possibly because the
+pull-up value is too low (1500 ohms).
+
+i2c AT24 eeproms can be read but not programmed properly because the
+at24 linux driver tries to write a byte at a time, and doesn't wait at
+all (or enough) between writes. Data corruption on writes does occur.
+
+The driver doesn't support detection of I2C device present on the
+bus. Apparently when a device is not present at a given address, the
+CH341 will return an extra byte of data, but the driver doesn't
+support that. This may be addressed in the future.
+
+
+The GPIOs
+---------
+
+16 GPIOs are available on the CH341 A/B/F. The first 6 are input/output,
+and the last 10 are input only.
+
+Pinout and their names as they appear on some breakout boards::
+
+ CH341A/B/F GPIO Names Mode
+ pin line
+
+ 15 0 D0, CS0 input/output
+ 16 1 D1, CS1 input/output
+ 17 2 D2, CS2 input/output
+ 18 3 D3, SCK, DCK input/output
+ 19 4 D4, DOUT2, CS3 input/output
+ 20 5 D5, MOSI, DOUT, SDO input/output
+ 21 6 D6, DIN2 input
+ 22 7 D7, MISO, DIN input
+ 5 8 ERR input
+ 6 9 PEMP input
+ 7 10 INT input
+ 8 11 SLCT (SELECT) input
+ 26 12 RST# (?) input
+ 27 13 WT (WAIT) input
+ 4 14 DS (Data Select?) input
+ 3 15 AS (Address Select?) input
+
+
+GPIO interrupt
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The INT pin, corresponding to GPIO 10 is an input pin that can trigger
+an interrupt on a rising edge. Only that pin is able to generate an
+interrupt, and only on a rising edge. Trying to monitor events on
+another GPIO, or that GPIO on something other than a rising edge, will
+be rejected.
+
+
+SPI
+---
+
+This driver doesn't offer an SPI interface (yet) due to the
+impossibility of declaring an SPI device like I2C does.
