Hello,
I have a beaglebone black, and I am having some serious problems with the
GPIO configuration, trying to migrate our working ubuntu 14.04 installation
to ubuntu 16.04. The beaglebone sits on a specifically constructed board,
that needs some GPIOs and the CAN-bus working, to function properly. As a
starting point, I took the preconfigured 16.04 image from
http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#Ubuntu_.2816.04.29 and installed the
modified 4.4 kernel (--bone-kernel --lts-4_4 as described here:
http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#Mainline_.284.4.x_lts.29).
I modified a dts script for a CAN overlay and got it working. Then, using
Adafruit with python3, I got the required GPIOs configured. However
autostart of CAN and GPIOs works only, if I force the respective init.d
script to start after $network, which could pose a problem later, as the
power supply for our wlan rounter is powered on using GPIOs.
Nonetheless, the resulting entries in /sys/class/gpio are:
gpio115, gpio26, gpio38, gpio44, gpio46, gpio48, gpio63, gpio65
With the respective device trees in:
/sys/devices/platform/ocp/44e07000.gpio/gpio/
gpio26 (LED)
/sys/devices/platform/ocp/481ac000.gpio/gpio/
gpio65 (LED)
/sys/devices/platform/ocp/4804c000.gpio/gpio (wird in der BBB_Setup.py
benutzt)
gpio38 (scanner_running)
gpio44 (LED)
gpio46 (LED)
gpio48 (scanner_pwr)
gpio63 (LED)
/sys/devices/platform/ocp/481ae000.gpio/gpio/
gpio115 (motor_pwr)
At this point, I am able to power up the motor with gpio115 and four of the
LEDs (gpio44, gpio46, gpio26, gpio65) via python or writing to the value
files in the device tree.
Unfortunately gpio48 always stays at measured 0.9V, regardless of the
values written to the value file or the output commands issued using python
and gpio63 always outputs something similar to a HIGH signal. As I
suspected some other conflicting capes, I copied the system from eMMC to
uSD and disabled the eMMC and HDMI/HDMI-audio capes in /boot/uEnv.txt. The
slots in /sys/bus/platform/devices/bone_capemgr/slots now show only the CAN
and the Adafruit capes. pinmux-pins and pingroups in
/sys/kernel/debug/pinctrl/44e10800.pinmux look, as if all required pins are
configured as GPIO unclaimed. However gpio48 and gpio63 still do not react
to any output commands. Then I tried to build a device tree overlay using
the patched version of the dtc compiler and configuring the required pins
to work as outputs in mode7. Loading this cape gives me a probably kernel
related error(see cape-error.log) that does not occur, if w1-gpio and
w1-term are loaded using modprobe in advance. Regardless of this cape being
loaded, gpio48 and gpio63 are still not working.
I made some logs, that may be helpful with the diagnosis of the problem:
www.defi1.de/beaglebone/cape-slots.log (slots right after booting)
www.defi1.de/beaglebone/dmesg.log (kernel message log right after booting)
www.defi1.de/beaglebone/cape-error.log (error in kernel message log when
trying to load my custom cape)
www.defi1.de/beaglebone/overlays.log (the device tree overlays created with
Adafruit)
www.defi1.de/beaglebone/pinmux-pins.log
www.defi1.de/beaglebone/piongroups.log
Any help on this would be appreciated.
