4 Replies and 5027 Views How to Disable the Display in U-boot?  5027  4 Started by  Derek Valleroy Hello, Our product doesn't use a display.  I would like to disable it in U-boot so that the LCD I/O isn't driven at power-up.  It appears that there isn't a $display variable that simply disables it. I was able to disable this in the Kernel using ./ltib -c, but I can't seem to find an ltib option to disable it for U-boot.  I think I might need to remove the /* Add graphics support */ definitions in the U-boot omap3logic.h source file, but i'm not sure if that is correct.  A...

2 Replies and 1322 Views Bluetooth LE support in Torpedo SOM  1322  2 Started by  Hogar Tait How is support for BTLE About a year ago we were unable to get reliable connections to several different store bought BT headphones. It was not a required feature, so we moved on.  Now there is interest in interfacing to BTLE sensors plus getting the BT headphones working.  I know there have been many changes in the last year. I would appreciate any input. Thanks,

6 Replies and 1437 Views additional NAND memory ICs  1437  6 Started by  James Hillman Hi There, I am evaluating the Torpedo SOM Wireless kit for use in a product I am working on. I have found it pretty straight forward to get the wifi up and running. In my product, there are some NAND Flash chips that contain data. I noticed the Torpedo 100pin connectors have the flash 8bit interface and multiple chip select lines. So it should be possible to read these ICs in Linux I was interested for some thoughts on, 1. can I still use the POP flash to boot from or should this be m...

9 Replies and 1652 Views prevent autosleeping when waked? android  1652  9 Started by  mvly So I sucessfully got the UART to work on the Development board and on android. Sending characters to the board when it's sleeping will wake up the board. But the device goes back to sleep right away. Is there a way to keep it on for a longer period of time   The reason I ask is I have an android app that monitors and process the UART port. It is able to capture it because I can echo the characters back fine. however because processing it takes more time, the device goes to sleep before i...

4 Replies and 1356 Views Brightness changes after returning to home screen android  1356  4 Started by  mvly I noticed that after changing the brightness to near 0 or 0 using a custom app on android and returning to the home screen, the LCD brightness returns to 20 Why is this happening I am not sure if other android devices does this, but it seems like the DM3730 android 2.3.4 build is doing it. Is there a way to prevent it from doing this Where would I look in the kernel or what-not to prevent this from happening.   I also noticed it slowly returns to 0.   By the way, I am writing to...

9 Replies and 2036 Views Custom Development and Wifi Performance  2036  9 Started by  James Hillman Hi Everyone, The Torpedo Wireless SOM is a new thing for me. Q1. Can someone clarify for me if the hardware and software (Linux BSP) is open source i.e. free to use I am impressed with the design of the SOM but I want to integrated with an existing design which I feel could be significantly smaller as I would lose the connectors. I understand it is a PoP, so I would need to handle that. Q2. WiFi Throughput Has anyone tested the throughput of the WiFi (Module to PC) I w...

3 Replies and 1308 Views Torpedo won't boot without trasceiver on UARTA  1308  3 Started by  Bret Pollack I have an adapter board with an LTC2804 transceiver connected to UARTA. The torpedo will boot when the board is connected, but will not when it is disconnected. It does not matter if an RS232 is connected to the adapter board or not. Does these signals require a pull-up/down Or are they expecting a signal of some kind What is this transceiver doing that the Torpedo likes  Thanks Bret

(Topic has multiple pages1 2 3 )
I am trying to build the DVSDK. I am using a native Ubuntu 14 64-bit system to build on, not the VM version. My target is on a DM3730 Torpedo Dev Kit. The default config built with no errors. Now I am trying to add the DVSDK: Note1: The URL in the DM37x BSP UG is bad in Section 8.1, but I did evntually get it to download the CGT. After following the instructions in section 8 of the DM37x BSP UG to Prep the build tools, the build fails on module 'liboil'. This is the first error output I s...

How do I access this driver in your system I have a camera which has this chip (PCA9543) before the sensors I2C bus. This chip must have it's control reg initialized with a value of 0x01 before you can send I2C commands to the sensor. Please direct me to instructions on how to use this.

Weirdly, both USB ports detect the RNDIS connection and create an eth1 interface, but we cannot ping the device from the SOM's USB OTG por...

2 Replies and 1411 Views dnamasq error Address already in use when running tftpd-hpa  1411  2 Started by  John Huang Hi, I am new to the Linux world, so my explanation/reasoning may seems somewhat incorrect, so bear with me. Our project uses dnamasq to setup a tftp server on our host PC to eventually allow file transfers from our Zoom board. Whenever I run our helper script called 'zoomconnect' which essentially runs the dnamasq command, I get the following errors: Doing a little digging on the web, I found out that this is typically caused by some process that is holding onto the UDP port 69.  So I...

2 Replies and 1280 Views DirectFB Compilation Error During Build  1280  2 Started by  Kyle Cote I'm investigating an issue that's occuring when building the defconfig (config/platform/omap_logic/defconfig) and it seems to be directly related to the package DirectFB. I've successfully built the same configuration by disabling the package but wonder how this is used in the configuration and what effects it would have in leaving it out of the build on the system.   Error output: In file included from mkdgiff.c:42: /opt/bamboo_agent_home/xml-data/build-dir/BESW-PBT-JOB1/rootfs/usr/inc...

1 Replies and 1272 Views U-boot Default GPIO Settings  1272  1 Started by  Joshua Pagnotta Hi, We were interested in changing the default state for our LEDs during U-boot so we can enable the LEDs we have wired to our board faster during the boot sequence. Do you know where in the u-boot source code the default GPIO states are controlled for the Torpedo SOM so we can toggle them. Thanks.
