Hi, I have read that we can set different drive capability for GPIO bits in raspberry pi (from 2mA to 16 mA). My JTAG target (actel igloo) for some reason has strong pull down implemented (as advised in actel hardware example) on the tck and reset lines (1k and 500 ohm...) So it could be that output current of raspberry in not sufficient depending on how it is programmed. I try to look in openocd bcm2835gpio.c what is the drive capability that is assigned to the GPIO lines used in the JTAG. Unfortunately there is no code corresponding to that. The documentation I can find ( www.raspberrypi.org/wp-content/.../BCM2835-ARM-Peripherals.pdf ) describe register at address 7e20 xxxx and I can check that code in openocd bcm2835gpio.c make sense in init, set, reset and read back the GPIO lines. Problem is that I find nowhere in official documentation how to set output drive capability. I find here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/101830961/GPIO-Pads-Control2 that this is done in register: 0x 7e10 002c , 0x 7e10 0030 and 0x 7e10 0034 I have no idea where the person that wrote this document knows about that...
Anyway I can suggest this code (not yet tested) for bcm2835gpio.c Please advise me about coding and I have zero knowledge in git so I don't know how to contribute correctly. Code is untested and I don't know everything I am doing. So I appreciate some help before I try to blow my raspberry and my igloo chip. #define BCM2835_GPIO_PIN (BCM2835_PERI_BASE + 0x100000) /* GPIO PIN capability register for pins 0-27*/ static volatile uint32_t *pio_base_para; static int pin_gpio_para; in bcm2835gpio_init: pio_base_para = mmap(NULL, sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,MAP_SHARED, dev_mem_fd, BCM2835_GPIO_PIN); if (pio_base_para == MAP_FAILED) { perror("mmap"); close(dev_mem_fd); return ERROR_JTAG_INIT_FAILED; } pin_gpio_para=*(pio_base_para+11); pin_gpio_para&=0x1f; pin_gpio_para|=0x5A000000; *(pio_base_para+11)=0x5A00001F; and in bcm2835gpio_quit *(pio_base_para+11)=pin_gpio_par; Thanks -- Nicolas Produit ISDC, Data Centre for Astrophysics Phone:+41 22 379 2140 16, Chemin d'Ecogia Fax: +41 22 379 2133 CH-1290 Versoix www: http://isdc.unige.ch/~produit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIMITED TIME SALE - Full Year of Microsoft Training For Just $49.99! 1,500+ hours of tutorials including VisualStudio 2012, Windows 8, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, MVC 4, more.
