The umcpmioctl utility interacts with a MCP2210 or MCP2221 / MCP2221A and can be used to pull the status of the chip, get the SRAM values, get the values from the on-board FLASH and can be used to set some of the FLASH values associated with the GPIO pins and SPI. The values from flash are copied into the SRAM when the chip enumerates or powers up.

For the put flash gp command, GPn is one of GP0 to GP3 or GP7 depending on the chip and PIN_FUNCTION is one of GPIO_PIN_INPUT, GPIO_PIN_OUTPUT, GPIO_PIN_ALT0, GPIO_PIN_ALT1, GPIO_PIN_ALT2, GPIO_PIN_ALT3, DEFAULT_OUTPUT_ZERO or DEFAULT_OUTPUT_ONE.

For the put flash spi command. SPI_PARAMETER is one of CS_TO_DATA_DELAY, LAST_BYTE_TO_CS_DELAY, or DELAY_BETWEEN_BYTES. The VALUE is the number of microseconds for that parameter.

For the put flash usbkeyparams command, USB_PARAMETER is one of POWERED or MA. The VALUE is SELF or BUS for POWERED or a number from 1 to 511 for the amount of MA power requested.

For the put flash command, the function and value pairs may be repeated.

umcpmioctl /dev/umcpmio0ctl status

Query the chip for its status.

umcpmioctl /dev/umcpmio0ctl get sram

Return the values from the SRAM on the chip.

umcpmioctl /dev/umcpmio0ctl get flash cs

Return the values for the chip settings from the FLASH.

umcpmioctl /dev/umcpmio0ctl put flash gp GP0 GPIO_PIN_INPUT

This will set the GP0 pin to be an input pin on start up of the chip.

umcpmioctl /dev/umcpmio0ctl put flash gp GP2 GPIO_PIN_OUTPUT GP0 GPIO_PIN_ALT0

This will set the GP2 pin to be an output pin and GP0 pin to have the ALT0 function upon chip start up.

The umcpmioctl utility first appeared in NetBSD 11.0.

The umcpmioctl utility was written by Brad Spencer <brad@anduin.eldar.org>.

Only a limited number of setting can be changed in FLASH or NVRAM.

The output is not very pleasant to use and one will probably need to have the data sheet for the MCP2210 or MCP2221 / MCP2221A on hand to make sense of the output.
