[beagleboard] How to pass parameter to w1_therm kernel module enabled by DT overlay?

2015-11-22 Thread Loren Amelang
I have a BBB with Ubuntu 14.04 (Linux arm 3.8.13-bone56) and their repo version of owserver (2.8p15-1ubuntu4 armhf). With a strong enough passive pullup (<1K) I can read temperatures from my DS18B20, via w1 and BBB GPIO 45. (If the pullup is not strong enough, the temperatures from the 1-Wire

My Rev.A6 BBB had been running solidly 24/7 for months, with only explainable software-related crashes. But in the last week it has just hung twice, with no relation to software functions, nothing unusual in the logs, and D2/3/4 on solid. It is powered by an analog regulator from my solar

Gerald said: The issue is that the processors interferes with the default address settings when the PHY reads the pins. If the SW looks for the other addresses, it works fine. Could we get a clue about which addresses are the problem? Maybe the addresses 4a10 vs. 4a101000? davinci_mdio

In my intended application, my BBB absolutely must default to booting from the uSD when power is applied. I know I could short the boot switch, or move pull-up/down resistors, or create a hardware switch gated from reset, but I don't want to lose hardware compatibility with other BBB boards, or

Guess this issue is solved, but this seems like the best place for my comment. I always see davinci_mdio 4a101000.mdio: detected phy mask fffe, never fffb, so that may be the critical part of your error. But I also always see - libphy: PHY 4a101000.mdio:01 not found net eth0: phy

My board is back from RMA, with what looks like a new ethernet chip. It is ever so slightly raised up along one edge, though the pin alignment and soldering job are perfect. I guess it could have been that way before, but usually that's a sign of manual replacement. The only info I was able to

Trying to understand this... It seems you are saying the default state of the TPS65215C is to have the AC pin internally connected to the USB pin. But the datasheet says: - AC input is prioritized over USB input, i.e. if both inputs are valid, current is pulled from the AC input

I see the TPS2051 in the USB Host section of the schematic, but it is fed from SYS_5V. Isn't that _after_ the TPS65217C shuts everything off when the input voltage exceeds an average of 6V? I guess if you're being absolutely proper, the 2051 says 6.0V absolute max and the 65217 says it limits
