The DA9063 PMIC inside the ConnectCore 6 Plus contains:

  • Six DC-DC buck converters

    • BUCKCORE1 powers the ARM power domain of the i.MX6 CPU internal regulator.

    • BUCKCORE2 powers the SOC and PU power domains of the i.MX6 CPU internal regulator.

    • BUCKPRO powers the DDR3 memory.

    • BUCKMEM powers the DDR3 memory.

    • BUCKIO powers the wireless chipset on the ConnectCore 6 Plus.

    • BUCKPERI powers the ConnectCore 6 Plus carrier board peripherals.

  • 11 programmable low drop-out (LDO) regulators, with the following available at the module pads:

    • LDO3 supplies the MCA processor on the ConnectCore 6 Plus, if available.

    • LDO4 supplies the Ethernet PHY on the ConnectCore 6 Plus SBC.

    • LDO6 supplies the PCIe interface in the ConnectCore 6 Plus SBC.

    • LDO7 is not in use on the ConnectCore 6 Plus SBC.

    • LDO8 is not in use on the ConnectCore 6 Plus SBC.

Kernel configuration

You can manage the DA9063 regulator driver support through the kernel configuration option Dialog Semiconductor DA9063 regulators (CONFIG_REGULATOR_DA9063).

This option is enabled as built-in on the ConnectCore 6 Plus SBC kernel configuration file.

Kernel driver

The DA9063 regulator driver for the ConnectCore 6 Plus is located at drivers/regulator/da9063-regulator.c

Device tree bindings and customization

The DA9063 regulator device tree binding is documented at Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/da9063-regulator.txt.

The DA9063 regulators are defined in the ConnectCore 6 Plus device tree file.
