Use Barometric Pressure Sensor module on DEBIX - Part 1

2024.6.17by debix.io

Example Device: DEBIX Model A + I/O Board



Overview

lThe BMP180 is a high-precision barometric pressure sensor with low power consumption and low noise. It comes with an internal temperature sensor to compensate for barometric pressure measurements and uses I2C communication.



Hardware installation

lBarometric Pressure Sensor module's VCC terminal is connected to J2 Pin2 of DEBIX Model A I/O board

lBarometric Pressure Sensor module's SDA terminal is connected to J2 Pin3 of DEBIX Model A I/O board

lBarometric Pressure Sensor module's SCL terminal is connected to J2 Pin5 of DEBIX Model A I/O board

lBarometric Pressure Sensor module's GND terminal is connected to J2 Pin39 of DEBIX Model A I/O board

lBarometric Pressure Sensor module's 3.3V terminal is connected to J2 Pin1 of DEBIX Model A I/O board

Modify the device tree imx8mp-evk.dts

1. Add a BMP180 node under i2c4 node:

&i2c4 {

     status = "okay";

     BMP180: BMP180@77 {

         compatible = "BMP180";

         reg = <0x77>;

      };

2. Compile and replace the device tree file

lCompile the device tree in the source directory: make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-linux-gnu- dtbs

lCopy the compiled new device tree file arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mp-evk.dtb to the /boot directory of DEBIX and restart DEBIX.

3. Check whether dts contains the modified device tree node.

lRun the command ls /sys/bus/i2c/devices/
