[beagleboard] Re: on accessing the p8/9 headers

Wulf Man, yeah I actually took a look at the boot sequence on my BBBW and apparently its Debian. Don't know here I got the Angstrom idea from. I tend to read a lot of things so they might have been older documents. On Thursday, March 9, 2017 at 5:17:59 AM UTC-7, woody stanford wrote: > > OK, I

Do yourself a favor. Dump Angstrom which is not supported anymore and go with a newer stock debian image. People here dont support Angstrom here. It was horrable to begin with. On 3/18/2017 11:45 PM, 'woody stanford' via BeagleBoard wrote: > > Ok, here where I'm at (and I do apologize about the

OK, here is where I'm at IMPORTANT: a lot of these things that I'm saying are my own educated guesses, this is not an enumeration of the correct way of enabling and using the P8/9 headers. I just want to make that clear. It doesn't currently work The procedure I took was the

Gerald, can you articulate what you difficulty with my posts are, according to TOS where the violations are, and I will correct them. I am NOT trying to monopolize your board or whatever, I just have questions is all. But if you could be a good moderator and let me know what you concern is with

OK status report, where I'm at is the dtc compiler I was talking about seems only to be buildable with a Debian-style installer, which is a deal-breaker for me because I use stock Angstrom. Found another overlay compiler by Pantelis Antoniou, but this one doesn't appear to work either because

[beagleboard] Re: on accessing the p8/9 headers

Since this is my thread, I though I would reach out to my fellows, both professional (ie. Beagleboard) and hobbyist (that that have ACTUALLY solved this issue and can add something to this discussion) if they can shed some light on the following issues. I'm serious though about people that

[beagleboard] Re: on accessing the p8/9 headers

Capturing thoughts: - I'm thinking that there are conceptually two stages to this: (1) configuration (which is loaded by the OS at start-up, which is fine I think for most real applications) and (2) how you actually access the pins from whatever language/environment you are using. - Feeling

[beagleboard] Re: on accessing the p8/9 headers

Thoughts I want to capture (for later discussion): - working theory: I want to be able to access my communication pins (my SPI, I2C, and UART serial) stuff through TTYO1 thru 6 so I can use streams (a la fopen() in C ) so I have some /dev/ abstraction insulating me from a lot of platform and

[beagleboard] Re: on accessing the p8/9 headers

OK, how are these "overlays" set up technically? In my reading, what seems to be operative, is that these overlays are "compiled" with the magical: dtc compiler (Reference: DTC And Compiling Custom Overlays heading in https://vadl.github.io/beagleboneblack/2016/07/29/setting-up-bbb-gpio )

OK, thru tracing hardware for now, so let's look at overlays for a second. Here is a link to what looks like the cleanest (if not official) code base for gpio configuration. https://github.com/beagleboard/bb.org-overlays How this code base set up is traditionally, with a "make file". To build

What has been coming through loud and clear is the "GPIO Settings" (the little box at the bottom of the images in the previous post). Let's talk about them. I've done a lot of electrical engineering in my time with digital circuits, so I'm thinking of setting bits 3-7 how you would set up your

[beagleboard] Re: on accessing the p8/9 headers

OK, how I'm looking at this problem, of how to configure and use the GPIO pins on a BBB is as if the BBB is like a PIC or other microcontroller not an SBC to start (I'm starting at the pins and working my way in, conceptually). So what I'm doing is looking for a datasheet for the p8/9 header
