2 Replies and 1440 Views GPS Issue  1440  2 Started by  Mark Gregory I made a program based on the GPS demo which acquired lat/long/alt ..... and worked fine the other day.  However, I was trying to test a few SD cards by trial and error to see if any where 1.8V cards so I could use another SD card.  GPSdemo runs and looks like it is seeing up to 6 satellites and is generating NEMA data but it says that the GPS status is unknown and doesnt give lat/long/alt... data.  Could trying to use the 1.8V SD card slot damage the GPS functionality on the SOM

66 Replies and 21624 Views Linux 3.14 and Device-Tree for DM3730 Torpedo Wireless SOM  21624  66 Started by  Derald Woods
(Topic has multiple pages1 2 3 4 )
Is there an experimental branch of code for LogicPD's Linux BSP stack which supports newer kernels and device-tree We just need a valid starting point, if it exists, before going down the path of 'rolling our own'.  We have a custom SDK based on the LogicPD 2.4-x Linux BSP patch series. The age is becoming a factor with various libraries, tools, and device drivers. New hardware support tends to appear in newer kernel versions. It would be helpful, if a Git repository or patch set...

Is there a way to upgrade the cross compile environment and libraries in the LTIB image to support compiling and running this code on our LTIB image. We are running the latest BSP currently (2.4-4).

But Linux 'dd' command too slow (takes approx. 15 minutes). Are there any docs on low level commands that can be sent to the drive via ioctl() which can perform faster bulk erase Thanks. Matt

13 Replies and 2679 Views USB tries to enumerate after a device is unplugged  2679  13 Started by  Derek Valleroy Hello, We are using the Torpedo as a USB host, and sometimes when we disconnect our High Speed USB HID device from it, we see odd behavior from the kernel. After a disconnect, we immediately see a low-speed device try to enumerate (and fail), followed up by a few more high speed enumeration events (that fail) that occur every 15 seconds. I don't see any USB traffic when these messages occur (verified with an o-scope and logic analyzer). After this, the host will not even try to enumerate our ...

3 Replies and 1645 Views GPMC bus vs. low-power operation  1645  3 Started by  YvesP A design note, on page 9 of the Torpedo Launcher 3 Baseboard Schematic (doc 1021666F) indicates that 'Q7 and Q10 are an example of how to place the baseboard into a low power state however, due to the LAN and USB controllers, this feature cannot be used when the GPMC bus is active. Buffering the GPMC bus when in low power mode is recommended. Contact LogicPD support for reference designs'. Is it possible to get a link to the above mentioned reference designs Or are they only provided under ser...

1 Replies and 1344 Views Contention when driving mcspi2_cs1  1344  1 Started by  Deleted User I would like to use DM3730 SOM - J1-P51 (mcspi2_cs1) as a GPIO output line. After executing step 7 below, the GPIO line does not pull up to 1.8V (only gets to abut 0.2v). I believe I am talking to the correct GPIO because I can see it drop to 0V when setting to logic '0', or this loaded state when writing logic '1' I did the following procedure per LogicPD app note AN 527(selecting and using gpio signals on DM3730)  : 1) grep gpio_182 /debug/omap_mux/* /debug/omap_mux/mcspi2_cs1:signals...

0 Replies and 1486 Views WinCe Qt  1486  0 Started by  Sergey Brandis I use Qt 4.8.5 to create simple UI for my device (CPU ARM DM3730) under WinCe 6. When debugging on PC (Win7 64bit) everything is fine. BUT! on device it takes about a minute(!) to run the application. And QWidget repainted very slowly. I used qt designer for UI forms. Why launch is so slowly and how can I fix it Could it be a problem in the ARM or WinCe or Qt... Thanx a lot !  Sergey
