CB1 is Compute Module style board that plugs into Rpi board style adapter or
Manta 3D printer boards (M4P/M8P).

The SoM features:
- H616 SoC
- 1GiB of RAM
- AXP313A PMIC
- RTL8189FTV WiFi

Boards feature:
- 4x USB via USB2 hub (usb1 on SoM).
- SDcard slot for loading images.
- Ethernet port wired to the internal PHY. (100M)
- 2x HDMI 2.0. (Only 1 usable on CB1)
- Power and Status LEDs. (Only Status LED usable on CB1)
- 40 pin GPIO header

Currently working:
- Booting
- USB
- UART
- MMC
- Status LED
- WiFi (RTL8189FS via out of tree driver)

I didnt want to duplicate things so the manta DTS can also be used on BTT pi4b adapter.
CB1 SoM has its own DTSI file in case other boards shows up that accept this SoM.

So how is the STM32 connected? Via SPI? If yes, you should activate the SPI
node and specify the pinctrl.
Even if this requires a patch cable to connect the SPI header coming from
the CB1 to the SPI pins on the STM (does it?), it might be worth stating
the pins used. I don't know for sure if we enable interfaces that are
routed to fixed function header pins, but it might be worth doing so here,
since this is some very obvious use case (I guess you wouldn't buy the M8P
if you don't plan to use all of its goodies).
So the STM32 chip is connected directly via USB. There is USB hub on Manta boards and Pi adapter (Not on BTT Pi. That one doesnt use USB hub)
that uses this USB port and STM32 connects via that. Then on manta boards there are 2 USB ports and 1 USB port with just pins exposed on
XH2.54 4 pin connector. Bit weird but it is what it is :)

And what's the USB-C connector doing? Is that an alternative power supply?
Ann does it connect the port0 D-/D+ pins, so can be used for OTG? If yes,
please enable the usb_otg node here.

It is indeed an alternative power supply. Or well primary supply in the case of Pi adapter board.

It should be connected yes. Tho i never really had much luck getting it to work. Tho i will check again and if i get it to work i will enable it in V2 :)

I guess this "regulator" is still valid, but please adjust the comment,
since there is certainly no USB-C socket on the SoM. I guess it's multiple
pins on the SoM connector that supply the incoming base voltage?
Correct. Its just pins that get the 5V power. My fault for saying directly from USB-C since it can be from somewhere else :)

So is this regulator really on the SoM? Or is it just PC16 on the SoM
connector, and the actual regulator chip is on the respective carrier
boards?


This is my bad. This is completely wrong. The actual regulator is the 5V one thats turned on when 5V comes in. Its bit weird but i suppose its done that way for USB-OTG. This will be removed in next revision of this DTS :)

Is there no card detect switch or is it not wired up, or is it really
"broken"? Might be good to have a comment explaining that.
And yeah, I also forgot to do this in my Orange Pi Zero3 .dts ;-)

Its just straight up not connected. And since documentation specifies that this should be set when no card detection is available i set it.

Will add a comment specifying that this is due to the pin not being connected.

So those are the ranges of the PMIC rail, but if this is really connected
to VDD_GPU on the H616, you should limit it to between 0.81V and 0.99V, as
described in the H616 datasheet. Otherwise this risks frying the SoC, I
guess.

The range here should be correct. It is also the sys rail. Since AXP313a lacks many rails this was chosen as the sys rail as well.

+ regulator-always-on;

So is this connected to something else as well, like VDD_SYS? Please
either mention this as a comment, to justify the always-on, or name the
regulator accordingly, like "vdd-gpu-sys".
Will rename to vdd-gpu-sys.

Same limit problem here, VDD_CPU must be between 0.81V and 1.1V.
That is indeed right. I will test it on the range you provided with OPP (WIP) and stress test it :)

Is that DDR3 or DDR3L DRAM here? I don't think there is any runtime
adjustments here, so just specify the respective voltage required, with the
same value for both min and max.
it uses Kingston D2516ECMDXGJD so DDR3. I will specify the direct voltage.

Please mention what this supplies that justifies always-on.
ALDO1 1.8V gets also converted to 1.8V for DRAM. Thus needs to be on always.

SDcard that serves as storage for system. Will add comments for both :)

This belongs into the board .dts, since the connector/UART bridge is
there.
Actually the SoM has exposed pads to connect UART (Which is what i have done to get UART) but also the boards get the exact pins wired to GPIO.

But since most users would use the GPIO UART i will specify it in carrier boards and in BTT Pi boards separately.
