3 Replies and 1037 Views Network mtu  1037  3 Started by  Deleted User I am using the ip command to try and set the mtu to a value larger than 1500. Is this possible on the Torpedo Dev Kit I keep getting an invalid parameter error if over 1500.

1 Replies and 1033 Views PMIC RTC Security  1033  1 Started by  Alex Roberts Looking at the schematics, MSecure signal on the TPS65950 PMIC is tied high to 1.8V (VIO_1V8). I am assuming this puts the PMIC in secure, preventing my ability write to the real-time clock registers via I2C. A quick test in LOSH shows writing the year, for example, does not update the register value. From the TPS65950 TRM,  YEARS_REG is in the 0x4B group and the physical address is 0x21 losh> x /b 0x004B0021 1 /dev/pm0 0x004B0021 00 losh> w /b 0x004B0021 0x17 /dev/pm0 l...

5 Replies and 1330 Views DM3730 Torpedo  1330  5 Started by  Greg Durant I&39;ve a design with the Torpedo (dm3730) in an embedded (SOM interfaced to a USB/Eth bridge device on custom board) implementation. I&39;m unable to get the SOM to recognize the USB/Eth bridge device physically (USB data lines) interfaced to the SOM&39;s USB OTG port. Additionally, the USB_ID pin is grounded on the custom card to indicate to the SOM it is to be the host. Can you add any insight into what the problem would be I&39;ve since noticed this specific note in the Torpedo HW Speci...

4 Replies and 1219 Views libusb and mainstream kernel  1219  4 Started by  Brian Frohlich Hi,   I am trying to port code from linux 3.xx to the mainstream 4.4.9. &39;lsusb&39; shows me the  the device I am interested in, but I cannot write or read. The application for communicating with the device uses libusb and worked fine in linux 3.xx and recompiled without a problem. Anyone been able to communicate with their usb device on DM37xx with the mainstream release   Thanks.

2 Replies and 1056 Views Bare Metal McBSP issue  1056  2 Started by  Mark Gregory I am currently running McBSP2 to interface to an ADC using the SRG to generate the clock and frame sync and receive into DR. All signals look to have appropriate amplitudes and timing except for the frame sync. Frame sync is ~.9V half of what I expect (1.8V).  After reviewing all of the SOM and EVM board schematics it looks like there are no connections to the McBSP2 module except to the TPS65950 power module. The SOM schematic specifies that if there are any codecs or external mcbsp mod...

1 Replies and 1081 Views uP_D8 thru uP_D14 data lines as GPIOs  1081  1 Started by  Deleted User We would like to use the signals labeled uP_D8 thru uP-D14 as GPIOs They are labeled as either processor data lines, or GPIO on the schematic. How are these lines configured as GPIO (the same as other GPIOs via /sys/class/gpio system calls) and what will prevent them from toggling during boot-time until configured as GPIOs

5 Replies and 1473 Views Unable to flash Mainstream Linux RAMdisk/ubifs to NAND  1473  5 Started by  Elisabeth Baca Hello All, I have been using the Beta Mainstream Linux VM to try and flash my DM3730 Torpedo SOM. I have successfully booted it from an SD card with the EXT3 rootfs, but I&39;m having trouble both booting from RAMdisk on an SD card, and then (since that doesn&39;t work), I can&39;t get to the part where I would mount/add the ubifs into NAND. When I go to boot from RAMdisk, kernel seems to hang on the &39;Starting Kernel...&39; message. I&39;m not getting any more output from the debug U...

3 Replies and 1234 Views TPS65950 (PMIC) Backup Battery Voltage giving unexpected readings  1234  3 Started by  John Huang I&39;ll state the obvious first, in case anyone needs some background. I am working with the Torpedo DM3730 SOM which has an integrated PMIC (Tps65950).  According to the PMIC, we can stick a coin cell to the backup battery to keep the RTC running.  Then the voltage of the coin cell can be read using MADC CH9. In the Linux BSP User Guide, it offers a script to do exactly just this.  I have ran the script and I am able to read the ADC values for CH9 and the script also convert...

6 Replies and 1612 Views DM3730-SOM: Configuration of I2C1 to communicate to PMIC.  1612  6 Started by  John Huang I am working on the DM3730 Torpedo SOM using the provided Linux 2.4-4 BSP.  I understand the I2C-1 bus coming out of the DM3730 IC goes directly to the TPS65950 (PMIC) as the main form of communication.  To send I2C data and request over this bus, I am relying on the i2c-dev.h bus driver and the use of open/ioctl/read calls. Using these mechanisms, I have been successfully at talking to multiple external i2c devices through the I2C-3 bus.  In fact, I&39;ve hooked up a Logic An...

9 Replies and 1583 Views MUSB Peripheral with Mainstream Linux  1583  9 Started by  Eric B I&39;m using a 4.8.6 kernel with my DM3730 SOM and am trying to use it as a USB peripheral. I am able to successfully load the module, connect the USB cable, and load the driver on a Windows 7 host. The device functions perfectly for a while but about a minute after connecting to the host the USB gadget driver seems to go into a suspended state which causes the device to become unrecognized by the host. I have tried this with the g_serial and g_mass_storage gadgets and they both produce similar...

1 Replies and 1236 Views Automatically execute runmakenandboot if boot disc inserted in SD slot?  1236  1 Started by  Joshua Pagnotta We were looking at ways to make it easier for end users to upgrade the image for our devices. We currently use the runmakenandboot script to flash our rootfs and boot into a RAM filesystem each boot. To upgrade we use the mkLogicFat script to make a bootable disc and interrupt the u-boot sequence and execute runmakenandboot. Do you have any suggestions for automating this such that if an SD card with a boot partition is detected in automatically executes that script so they can just insert a new...
