The enforced open drain problem appears after connecting the PCA9685 #1381

roxanaluca · 2020-04-28T17:13:39Z

Describe the bug
I have connected PCA9685 and Arducam Multi Camera Adapter on Raspberry Pi. The first pin supplies 3.3V on Arducam Adapter, and at the same time the PCA9685 motor driver. The Raspberry Pi detect the PCA9685 connection via detect -y 3.
To reproduce
Adding a new bus 3 in /boot/config in config.txt
start_x=1
gpu_mem=128
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
dtoverlay=i2c-gpio,bus=3,i2c_gpio_delay_us=1,i2c_gpio_sda=16,i2c_gpio_scl=26

Expected behaviour
The error should not happen because I measured the voltage in Raspberry and the PCA9685. I follow the Adafruit guideline.

Actual behaviour
It is possible that the servo motors wouldn't work properly.

I put pull up resistances between SDA and SCL pins and it doesn't work.
Please let me know what to do.
Many thanks

The Pi GPIO pins don't have an "open drain" mode - they do outputs and inputs (and the alternate functions). What you are seeing is a warning about what something sees as an invalid or incomplete configuration in Device Tree, rather than a real problem with the hardware. I'll try to understand the issue to see if we can avoid the warning, but until then I don't think there is any chance of you damaging the servo motor as a result of the "problem" that causes the message.

You do, however, need pull-ups on any I2C bus. Pis have built-in 1K8 pullups on the hardware I2C buses.

Is the servo motor not working for you? I didn't understand that from your original report - I thought you were suggesting a possible problem rather than an actual one.

The servo motors are working properly. I was worried about this problem.

The i2c-gpio driver expects to use a GPIO in open-drain mode. Failure to configure it in that way causes alarming warnings in the kernel log. The BCM283x and BCM2711 GPIO blocks don't support open-drain mode, but i2c-gpio works anyway. Silence the warning by declaring that open-drain mode has been enabled by other means.

The i2c-gpio overlay has been updated to avoid the alarming warnings. This does not change the functionality at all. The change is in our Linux kernel source repo, and will appear later in the Raspbian kernel package when it is next rebuilt.

The BCM283x and BCM2711 GPIO blocks don't support open-drain mode, but gpiolib can emulate it in software if configured correctly. Silence the warning by declaring the GPIOs as requiring open-drain mode, trusting gpiolib to manage the emulation. The previous incarnation of this patch took the other approach of telling the i2c-gpio driver that the GPIOs were configured for open-drain, but this had the effect of disabling the emulation. In some cases this appears to work, but examining the waveforms as analogue voltages shows contention, the success or failure depending on drive strengths.
