Thanks TJF... I had tried changing the pin-muxing using the device tree overlay and that works for all other pins but not the MMC1 pins... would libpruio work..? On Thursday, June 12, 2014 1:19:10 AM UTC-4, TJF wrote: You can use libpruio http://beagleboard.org/project/libpruio/ to do the

Hello, I wanted to use all of the possible GPIO pins on the P8 header. I successfully disabled the HDMI pins and so I can use those, but I am unable to use the MMC1_DAT or MMC_CLK pins as GPIO's. Can someone please let me know how I can use the MMC1 pins as GPIOs? -- For more options, visit

Thanks Guy Grotke... could you help me out with resources I can use to implement bit-banging... Also I have not worked on PRU's, will try reading up and get back to you... btw I dont think the MUXing will work, because I want all data to be collected simultaneously (at run-time)... On

Hey William... I do know that the Chip Select line can be used to toggle between different SPI units... But I need data to be collected simultaneously from multiple sensors... As of now I have 32 sensors - I have clubbed them into groups of 4 and so I have 8 sets of SPI units that I want to

I am trying to run multiple SPI modules (more than the two available on the BBB) to try and read data from a bunch of accelerometers (LSM303D). I was therefore wondering if it would be possible to implement the SPI module using code (preferably C/C++) on the abundant GPIO pins. I have been
