If I load my device tree overlay to use the high-speed GPIO pins first, and
then try to read the ADC using Adafruit_BBIO, it kicks me out of python:
~/pru\> sudo python
Python 2.7.5+ (default, Sep 19 2013, 14:17:30)
[GCC 4.8.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import Adafruit_BBIO.ADC as ADC
>>> ADC.setup()
>>> ADC.read("P9_40")
~/pru\>
notice no value returned and no python prompt. I suspect this indicates a
problem.
I then rebooted (reset switch), waited until the network started working
again (it takes 5 minutes each time for the network to work, something
needs to timeout)
and then did the same, but this time did not load the device overlay to
change one pru gpio to a high-speed output and got as expected
~/pru\> sudo python
Python 2.7.5+ (default, Sep 19 2013, 14:17:30)
[GCC 4.8.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import Adafruit_BBIO.ADC as ADC
>>> ADC.setup()
>>> ADC.read("P9_40")
0.8072222471237183
>>>
I should mention that when I load both overlays, with my overlay first,
>cat $SLOTS shows them both there, just the ADC overlay load does not
work correctly. If I run the ADC.setup() first, and then run
~/pru\>>sudo sh -c "echo BB-BONE-PRU > $SLOTS" to load my overlay, then
/lib/firmware\> cat $SLOTS
0: 54:PF---
1: 55:PF---

and both overlays are shown but the high
speed pin does not work.
Loading just my overlay only, works as expected as far as I can tell (i.e.
the led turns on and off).
I'm guessing things are not quite as expected.
Also, could someone point me to the file in kernel source that loads
overlays?
Thanks.
