Inspired by the excellent overlay created by Bas Laarhoven for the BeBoPr boards, I am reworking my PRU code for LinuxCNC and plan on creating a "universal" device tree overlay.
The basic idea is to enable all of the expected useful SoC features (GPIO, I2C, serial ports, timers, PRU direct I/O) and have control over the function of each individual pin via sysfs entries. This should allow things like using the Rx pin of a serial port for communications, and the Tx pin of the same port for GPIO. Questions: * Is there any fundamental reason why this seems like it won't work or is otherwise a bad idea? * Has this been done already? It seems too useful for someone else not to have implemented, and I'd rather not reinvent the wheel if it's already out there. -- Charles Steinkuehler [email protected] -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
