This is great news, and what I was hoping for when I started working on a universal device-tree overlay! > It would be great if config-pin was updated to work with this. Right now, I > have commented out the exit statement where cape-universal isn't detected. I'll see if I can find some spare time soon to test and get some better checks into the config-pin script. I've also been thinking config-pin should perhaps be something other than a bash script for speed (perhaps Python?), but I'm not sure if it's the shell or sysfs that's so sluggish when setting up a large number of pins. Using something other than bash would also make it possible to factor some of the pin intelligence into user-mode (instead of kernel code or the device-tree). It would be nice if it was possible to do something like enable a UART and have it's pin mux setup correctly, but *ALSO* be able to do something like just enable the Tx pin without generating a custom device-tree. Thoughts? Ultimately, config-pin should probably get turned into something that can generate DT changesets and ask the kernel to apply them. I currently have no idea what this interface is going to look like. -- 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.
