Re: [beagleboard] Re: pru + 4.4 kernel?

I figured out what happened, it wasn't am335x-boneblack.dts, but am335x-boneblack-wireless.dts. Seems like I can talk to the PRU, but I don't see it doing what it should be doing. Need to grab a copy of prudebug and see if I can debug what the PRU is trying to do vs. is doing. Thanks! On

Sadly this did not work. I'm using the default kernel/setup from the image bone-debian-8.6-lxqt-4gb-armhf-2016-11-06-4gb.img.xz . It uses kernel 4.4.30-ti-r64. Is there something better to start with?

[beagleboard] Re: pru + 4.4 kernel?

Jay, you have to do a minimal edit to the device tree and rebuild the blobs. I'm pretty sure 4.4.x kernels will require this (not sure exactly when this was rolled out). Clone this to your Beaglebone: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/dtb-rebuilder Look in the directory src/arm. Find the file:

Hi, I was hoping to upgrade from 3.8.13 to the 4.4.x kernels and installed 4.4.30 on my BBB, my app fails on the following call: /* Open PRU Interrupt */ > if ((ret = prussdrv_open(PRU_EVTOUT_0))) { > printf("prussdrv_open open failed\n"); > return; > } Any ideas or pointers on upgrading?

Hello -- Searched and found occasionally someone will post in re case/enclosure for BeagleBone boards. Ordered and received an alloy case from Netgate in Austin TX. Designed for BeagleBone Black. It's a nice case. http://store.netgate.com/BBB/Case.aspx Anyway, looks like they are getting out

Re: [beagleboard] Overlay does not create SPI pingroups with 4.4.21 kernel

If you load overlays that are already included in your image, then you do not have to update the initramfs. But if you create your own custom overlay, it will not be included in the initramfs. On Thu, Dec 15, 2016 at 4:10 PM, Phil wrote: > Thanks for the info. I am not so

Thanks for the info. I am not so sure about the need to update initramfs though. Just for yuks, I specified my custom overlay in uEnv.txt, and it seems to have loaded properly, which I confirmed by inspecting the output of dmesg. I am still verifying that my SPI ports work as expected (phase

Your intuition seems to be very good. After much testing, I now can see that as soon as I enable "dtb=am335x-boneblack-emmc-overlay.dtb" and reboot, the system does come up but wlan0 is no longer known. By that I mean that "ifconfig -a" and "connmanctl technologies" both fail to list it. The

There's also a software package known as fake hwclock. It's not a real time clock, and perhaps it'll even lose time over long periods. But it seems to do a reasonable job of keeping time on a system close. We actually use DS3232 on those devices that *need* to keep accurate time. On Thu, Dec

Hello William, thank you for the prompt response. First of all, I have to say that I have very little experience with the device tree, although I did use dtb-rebuilder to enable SPI back in the linux v3.8 days. So, my first request is: please point me to documentation that is current and
