Re: device tree overlay - gpio

Post by gururaj »

hi
Thank you for your reply..
Currently i am facing 2 issues, i am using BBB red industrial board with Debian GNU/Linux 7.8 (wheezy) os and madeto boot from SDcard and image date is BeagleBoard.org Debian Image 2015-03-01.
1) i need to load this load this GPIO OVER Lay by running command " echo VALVERS-IO > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.*/slots" for 3 gpio pins, pins and address are like this
P8 - header 24 (GPIO1_1) address is 0x804/004
P8 - header 20 (GPIO1_31) address is 0x884/084
P8 - header 21 (GPIO1_30) address is 0x880/080 This pins are mux with mmc.
my requirement is i don't want to run this command manually every time bbb get rebooted. so as you suggested i pasted this command in uEnv.txt which is at /boot/uboot/uEnv.txt its look like this

cat uEnv.txt
#Docs: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:U-boot_pa ... layout_2.0

uname_r=3.8.13-bone70
#dtb=
cmdline=quiet init=/lib/systemd/systemd

cape_enable=capemgr.enable_partno=VALVERS-IO

##Example
#cape_disable=capemgr.disable_partno=
cape_enable=capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART0,BB-UART1,BB-UART2,BB-UART4,BB-UART5

##Disable HDMI/eMMC
#cape_disable=capemgr.disable_partno=BB-BONELT-HDMI,BB-BONELT-HDMIN,BB-BONE-EMMC-2G

##Disable HDMI
#cape_disable=capemgr.disable_partno=BB-BONELT-HDMI,BB-BONELT-HDMIN

##Disable eMMC
cape_disable=capemgr.disable_partno=BB-BONE-EMMC-2G

##Audio Cape (needs HDMI Audio disabled)
#cape_disable=capemgr.disable_partno=BB-BONELT-HDMI
#cape_enable=capemgr.enable_partno=BB-BONE-AUDI-02

##enable BBB: eMMC Flasher:
##make sure, these tools are installed: dosfstools rsync
#cmdline=init=/opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and rebooted device..

14: ff:P-O-L Override Board Name,00A0,Override Manuf,VALVERS-IO

Any suggestion for this.. Is this wrong behaviour.. but by adding "cape_enable=capemgr.enable_partno=VALVERS-IO" command in uEnv.txt BBB didn't changed pins function.

hi,
2nd issue is that related to network.
i set Static IP to bbb-Red board which is in /etc/network/interface file and its look like this...
cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
# Example to keep MAC address between reboots
#hwaddress ether DE:AD:BE:EF:CA:FE
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.109.209.70
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.109.209.0
gateway 192.109.209.176
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8
dns-nameservers 8.8.4.4
# The secondary network interface
#auto eth1
#iface eth1 inet dhcp

# WiFi Example
#auto wlan0
#iface wlan0 inet dhcp
# wpa-ssid "essid"
# wpa-psk "password"

# Ethernet/RNDIS gadget (g_ether)
# ... or on host side, usbnet and random hwaddr
# Note on some boards, usb0 is automaticly setup with an init script
#iface usb0 inet static
#address 192.168.7.2
#netmask 255.255.255.0
#network 192.168.7.0
#gateway 192.168.7.1

after rebooting bbb, its fine i can see and can do ssh to the BBB. After that i keep device on for the over night and when i came back at morning, i can't do ssh / ping.
with using static ip of bbb then i did use debug port to find out its issues
then i found its ip address changed to other.
Can you tell why this is happing...??

Re: device tree overlay - gpio

Post by drewfustini »

I think the issue with uEnv.txt is that there are two cape_enable=capemgr.enable_partno lines:
cape_enable=capemgr.enable_partno=VALVERS-IO

cape_enable=capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART0,BB-UART1,BB-UART2,BB-UART4,BB-UART5
I think the VALVERS-IO should be appended to the second line:
cape_enable=capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART0,BB-UART1,BB-UART2,BB-UART4,BB-UART5,VALVERS-IO

For the networking issue, I'm not sure what the solution is, so I'd suggest posting about it on the BeagleBoard.org mailing list:

hi,
Thank you very much for your valuable reply..
i appended this VALVERS-IO in that cape_enable=capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART0,BB-UART1,BB-UART2,BB-UART4,BB-UART5,VALVERS-IO and removed the above line and rebooted..
now i got this results..

plz can you suggest any things that i need those 3 gpio along with all 4-uarts very important for my project.

I noticed this error in the dmesg output:
[ 2.060531] bone-capemgr bone_capemgr.9: failed to load firmware 'VALVERS-IO-00A0.dtbo'
[ 2.069012] bone-capemgr bone_capemgr.9: loader: failed to load slot-12 VALVERS-IO:00A0 (prio 0)
Does /lib/firmware/VALVERS-IO-00A0.dtbo exist?

hi,
i list all files in /lib/firmware and i remember that i pasted this file VALVERS-IO-00A0.dtbo and i found it...
but still i am getting same issues...

thank you for reply

Re: device tree overlay - gpio

Post by drewfustini »

I'm a bit stumped why it works when you echo to slots but not when added to uEnv.txt. I'd suggest changing the order so that VALVERS-IO is first:
cape_enable=capemgr.enable_partno=VALVERS-IO,BB-UART0,BB-UART1,BB-UART2,BB-UART4,BB-UART5
Also, you may want to post on the BeagleBoard.org mailing list to see if someone else has encountered this issue:

hi,
Even i tried by changing the order, when copy this command "cape_enable=capemgr.enable_partno=VALVERS-IO" in uEnv.txt after the UART cap enable..
BBB will enable and also load the HDMI caps instead of GPIO and UART.

cat /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.*/slots

my uEnv.txt looks like this.. i tried copying command "cape_enable=capemgr.enable_partno=VALVERS-IO" but result is same as above mentioned.

All the capes to enable should be all on one line like this:
cape_enable=capemgr.enable_partno=VALVERS-IO,BB-UART0,BB-UART1,BB-UART2,BB-UART4,BB-UART5

Hi,
Dear Friend..
I am using BB_Red board Bleaglebone-red industrial grid.
cat /etc/dogtag
BeagleBoard.org Debian Image 2015-11-12

cat /etc/debian_version
7.9

lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 7.9 (wheezy)
Release: 7.9
Codename: wheezy

i am able to set SPI1 via running command
echo BB-SPIDEV1 > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.*/slots

cat /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.*/slots

ls /dev/spi*
/dev/spidev1.0 /dev/spidev1.1

its got 2 files ls /dev/spi*
/dev/spidev1.0 /dev/spidev1.1

i don't understand which one i should use to drive SPI1 and can plz send me some good example for SPI for Beaglebone....??
my requrement is i need to interface Dot matrix SPI base LCD to Beaglebone.
plz send me some good example for SPI for Beaglebone....??

Our Adafruit_BBIO Python library does support SPI:
https://learn.adafruit.com/setting-up-i ... -black/spi

Here are the header pinouts for the SPI ports:
http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Cape_Expa ... _SPI_Ports

If you have further questions about SPI on the BeagleBone, then please post a new topic to keep the discussion separate from this topic "device tree overlay - gpio"
