Note: Per the 572xEVM_REVA3 schematic and the pad configuration of our boot
loader, gpio5_8 comes out on pin 55 of the P17 expansion header on the
BB-X15.
Incidentally, I tried varying the brightness in
/sys/class/leds/gpio_jeff_test to see if the level of gpio5_8 would change
on the scope, but no luck Varying the brightness works great with the
blinking leds (gpio7_8, 7_9, 7_14, 7_15) on the top of the bb-x15. You can
turn them on an off by echoing different values in for "brightness."
I was wondering if the expansion headers could be mis-labled on my board.
So I tried moving the breakout board around to all 4 of the expansion
headers, but keeping the scope probe on the same pin, pin55. But no luck.
I also tried the ADAFRUIT GPIO module in Python, yesterday, but it looks
like there isn't yet a Python module which exposes all of the gpio chips
for the BB-X15. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, I have the following gpio fragment in my dts.
&gpio5 {
ti,no-reset-on-init;
ti,no-idle-on-init;
};
Maybe a reasonable next-step is to find some known signals coming out on
the expansion headers, and then reverse engineer how they're getting
generated.. This is certainly the case with the LXQT
Tomorrow, I'll try explicit declarations for
