Hi! I'm trying to make the py-uio work. I'm new to device tree and have trouble understanding where I should put the device tree fragment. I'm assuming it is in the am57xx-beagle-x15-revc.dts after #include "am57xx-beagle-x15-common.dtsi"? And then compile with dtc, but where to put the device

I am really sorry Schooner, I was excited about the findings... I actually don't know which args suits my setup, I looked in the source, but I don't know how to find where they are used, I tried to scroll it all, but found no place that seems to use them. My board is a Raspberry Pi 3 model B V 1.

OK, good there is some progress. You will probably find that whilst loaded, it may not work. That while statement is actually while(!( *(spi + 0) & 0x0001) which is extremely specific and if something has changed or if SPI is not enabled, it will hang f

Thanks for the explanation about machinkit workings, I played with the stamps and found that it was blocking on while (!(BCM2835_SPICS & SPI_CS_DONE)); (Line 438) removing it halrun loads, now I will see if and what it writes. maybe I will have to control the low level implementation... but now

It's not about doubt cat /proc/cpuinfo will tell you whether you have BCM2835 If you do and the driver should work, we can try to find out why it isn't. If you don't, what the differences are from the BCM2837 for example, I have no idea I am gue

The log does not show what your earlier email showed, there is not mention of an error from insmod I think you need to get right back to basics. This driver was written 5 years ago and is specific to the BCM2835 chip It can only have been meant to support Pi
