i believe that this works for vga attached monitors, vesa says that when the clocks disappear on the sync the monitor should shutdown. the raspberry pi uses hdmi and also it doesn't use a vesa bios, it has a gpu bios which does a similar job but is not standardised, and, though it is

Mmm, that feels like good and bad news. I know richard did what he could to shut down the screen when its idle for a while so that seems to do the right thing with vga monitors, but I guess I do need CEC. Oh well, time for more digging. -Steve

[9fans] plan9-bcm GPIO control raspberry pi

2014-05-16 Thread Sean Hinchee
So I ran across this ( https://github.com/elewarr/plan9-bcm ) awhile back and decided it would be fun to try to stick it on my pi running 9front. Problem is I'm either too new to this, or am missing something really basic when I'm trying to compile the kernel. Normally iirc one just has to run mk

i'm guessing that plan9-bcm source directory should be bound -- bind(1) -- to /sys/src/9/9-bcm (or even /sys/src/9/bcm). On Fri, May 16, 2014 at 1:33 PM, Sean Hinchee henesy@gmail.com wrote: So I ran across this ( https://github.com/elewarr/plan9-bcm ) awhile back and decided it would be

Ok, it ran when bound to /sys/src/9/bcm. Flawless success. @cinap_lenrek, the folder was the source for the bcm kernel thing I linked above, it's built to support GPIO afaik, I'd like to play with GPIO whilst I learn plan9 on this pi. If I may ask, what is the reason that it ran when bound to
