Older versions of Eagle can do 3D exports. The process flow I have used with Eagle6 is - Generate a ENM file from the ULP exporter. Convert the ENM to a suitable 3D file format STEP Import there STEP file into MCAD There are suppose to be ULPs that can generate a SAT but that triggers a bug i

Kirk, What bus are you using (SPI or I2C)? Both are "slow" buses which can sleep on you. In addition, are you using the FIFO? Scheduling your reads and using a fast enough SPI setting along with the FIFO should let you acquire at 3.2KHz w/o drops. On Tuesday, August 02, 2016 15:17:02 Kirk wro

The ADC is a SAR ADC. Overclocking it is likely to have side effects on the analog end of things which will reduce accuracy. Ignoring that it is a very bad idea to keep doing things in userland: On Monday, June 20, 2016 18:06:09 John Syne wrote: > That is a totally different issue. You were read

Getting it to work is not hard. (Had it working for a project.) To get to work reliably at a high clock rate requires debugging the DMA or working out a protocol where timing isn't as tricky. As a slave the master can start clocking at anytime and unless the FIFO (or DMA) is preloaded with the e

Not to add add data points to the flames but - That example code in that link works fine. Was able to use that sample code to build a rpmsg simulator for other hw using the PRU. The PRU firmware creates 2 rpmsg channels that gets messages sent between then. Setup is: Kernel driver A is a I2C dri

You might want think more about this then the peep hole approach. Rather then running things in userland and relying on user id isolation; a better way is to write a kernel driver that exposes a very specific and limited interface. GPIOs are directly toggling hardware which means there are more

You are going about this with blinders on. Unless you are writing baremetal or kernel code (which most of the languages you listed are not really targeted toward), you should be asking about writing to serial devices. You are on Linux and the Linux interfaces for serial ports (which UARTs are)

If the goal is to recover data, it might be easier to get the eMMC mounted on an adapter board (instead of risking another BeagleBone) so it can be read from a PC or another card reader. Or for the really adventureous - remove the eMMC and do a dead wiring to a disassembled uSD to SD adapter.
