Good news.


I can't seem to get GPIO working, first dtc needed a patch for the -@
option, after I finally seem to got that working
I now find I have no
/sys/devices/bone_capemgr* directory.

The capemgr bits are a custom kernel from BBone that never made it
upstream. The ability to do DeviceTree overlays only landed mainline
in 3.19 so you would need at 3.19rc5 [1] or later Fedora kernel. I've
got as far as testing that the kernel boots on the BBB with the kernel
with overlays enabled but not had enough time to test them.
Ok, then I would like to avoid them, I'm hoping to also run freebsd in 
the future and I don't think they they will have the device tree overlay 
stuff.



Can anyone here confirm the status of GPIO (and other cape features) ? does
it require a custom kernel ? Am I missing someting ?

GPIO works, it doesn't need capes to do that. Basically overlays are
just a means of automating the configuration of all features on a
particular addon card whether you call it a cape, a hat or an
expansion board.

Depending on what device you're trying to configure you might just be
able to do it with a basic script.

output works by doing:
echo 48  /sys/class/gpio/export
echo out   /sys/class/gpio/gpio48/direction
echo 1  /sys/class/gpio/gpio48/value

however, for the input I need to enable the pull up resistor ( I think).

cat /sys/kernel/debug/pinctrl/44e10800.pinmux/pins | grep pin 46
pin 46 (44e108b8.0) 0008 pinctrl-single
I need to change this (0008) but can't seem to figure out how.
The board I'm trying to use has a dts file saying:
0x030 0x37 /* INPUT MODE7 pullup */
Is there an equivalent to achieve this without a dts file ?

All information I found seems to point either to the device tree overlay 
stuff

or /sys/kernel/debug/omap_mux/gmpc*
all I have here is a subdirectory board which is empty.

Thx

 If you're interested could you try the kernel-3.13.0-1.1.fc20 scratch
 kernel [1] on your BBBlack. It should add freq scaling support and you
 should be able to tell if it detects it appropriately if the
 cpufreq-cpu0 module loads. Feedback welcome.

 So that kernel works with my testing but the module doesn't auto load
 the cpufreq-cpu0 module. If you do:

 modprobe cpufreq-cpu0

 You then get:
 cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
 30 60 80 100

 Even with 3.12.8 you can manually load that module and it works but
 you only get up to 720mhz.

Re: [fedora-arm] BeagleBone Black CPU speed

2014-01-21 Thread Peter Robinson
Hi Steve,

 It looks like the BeagleBone Black is still running at 550MHz with the
 latest Fedora 20. Does anyone know what is holding it back from running at
 1GHz? Is the a uboot thing, or a kernel thing, or something else? I saw a
 version of uboot referred to as making the BBB run at 1GHz, but when I tried
 experimenting with that I got the same 550MHz clock speed.

If you're interested could you try the kernel-3.13.0-1.1.fc20 scratch
kernel [1] on your BBBlack. It should add freq scaling support and you
should be able to tell if it detects it appropriately if the
cpufreq-cpu0 module loads. Feedback welcome.

So that kernel works with my testing but the module doesn't auto load
the cpufreq-cpu0 module. If you do:

modprobe cpufreq-cpu0

You then get:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
30 60 80 100

Even with 3.12.8 you can manually load that module and it works but
you only get up to 720mhz.

Earlier Jos Vos reported the following results for his BeagleBoneBlack 
running pystone.py


Fedora:
Pystone(1.1) time for 5 passes = 10.9073
This machine benchmarks at 4584.1 pystones/second

Debian:
Pystone(1.1) time for 5 passes = 4.38
This machine benchmarks at 11415.5 pystones/second


Before this latest kernel I was getting results a few percent slower than he 
reported for Fedora. With this new kernel RPM I get

Pystone(1.1) time for 5 passes = 6.23986
This machine benchmarks at 8013.01 pystones/second

That speed is very consistent across runs of the test. The speed has increased, 
but it seems to still be well below that of Debian. If I use

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq

While the machine is idle it says 300MHz. While pystone.py is running it says 
1GHz. When the machine is idle, top says the CPU is around 1% loaded. When 
pystone.py is running it says it is 99.x% loaded. As far as I can tell the 
clock jumps from 300MHz to 1GHz as pystone.py starts up - i.e there is no 
substantial lag, resulting in half the test running at 300MHz and half at 1GHz.

If my board really is now running pystone.py at 1GHz, I wonder what else could 
be causing this test to be around 50% slower than with Debian.

Steve

The BBB is booting with 3.13rc8 with no patches but there's a few

You are correct. It took me a while to find it, but the PCDuino from 
Sparkfun is the one with a direct ethernet connection rather than going 
through the USB hub, Assuming I read the block diagram correctly.

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11712

and specifically page two of the schematic

http://dlnmh9ip6v2uc.cloudfront.net/datasheets/Dev/PCDuino/pcDuino_V01_Schem.pdf


The problem with the Beagleboard XM is the usb fails then the board 
can't be reached through ethernet to diagnose the problem, let alone do 
remote management. USB is always kind of touchy since the devices 
connected to it are not as shall we say as well disciplined as ethernet 
clients. So running your ethernet through the usb host seems like a bad 
idea.


I also thought this message was on the suse list when I responded. [I 
was clearing email while in line at a store.] I haven't tried fedora on 
the Beagleboard XM in a while, but the version I tried (17?) did NOT 
have the usb hub patch, Then 18 didn't work at all. In the mean time I 
was able to get Opensuse to add the patch to the kernel.


Info on the patch here:

The ethernet on the Beagleboard XM runs off an internal usb port. Not the

The board went from working and booting (Angstrom) on my desk to failing and 
not booting on my desk. So I don't suspect any physical damage. I followed the 
websites instructions on re-imaging the card. All I get in the terminal is the 
'C' characters showing up. Pressing the reset button provides more 'C's. So it 
went from fully working to not booting without physically moving on my desk.

 Mine died. I put in for a RMA but have heard nothing back.


 Can you forward a copy of the e-mail you sent to the RMA team and when you
 sent it?


 I used the RMA form on the website.

This is off topic for this thread.

Re: [fedora-arm] BeagleBone original

2013-04-30 Thread lists
I'm a bit confused here. This is the new Bone, not the original. 

In any event, the Beagleboard XM is the one with the hub. (4 usb) Also note 
that board needs a special patch. I'm just watching ther list to see when it is 
available for opensuse 12.3. 

Personally, I wish I got the Panda ES rather than the Beagleboard XM. I would 
have saved myself hours of debugging.

The ethernet on the Beagleboard XM runs off an internal usb port. Not the 
greatest design since it has to share I/O with the rest of the hub.

I am going to be in England monday  tuesday, so could arrange for one 
of two of these sent to my colleagues that I am meeting with.  IF this 
worth my time.  Is there an ethercard addon for it? Preferably 4 ports?  
I am not finding any pointers.

I want ethernet, not USB.  Seeing later in this thread, I guess I pass 
on this one.  Not what I am looking for.


One of these days, I will find something that matches what I want to 
work on.

So does the ethernet on the PandaES.

Update: The image is done, but evidently not going to work.  While we
have an upstream MLO/uboot solution, some of the necessary pieces for a
beaglebone kernel are not yet upstream.  Since we don't pull random
kernel trees this isn't going to work out of the box. People with
beaglebones should grab an alternate kernel and use it with the F17 GA
tarball until this support lands upstream.  Once it's in the upstream
kernel tree we'll have working images.


Thanks for the info... guess I'll prototype with a Pandaboard for now.

Hi, isn't the BeagleBone using the same processor than the BeagleBoard
(same Cortex A8)
I would think that both are equivalent and one image could power them both.
The beaglebone just have less ports.

Nope, completely new A8 SoC.
