    Hello

    I have a question on the OMAP35x SOM-LV board. We are using the board in our design and I need to find out about a couple signals. According to the OMAP 35x SOM-LV Hardware Spec the following signals are used with for the Camera Sensor Interface, CSI_D0..D11, CSI_VSYNC and CSI_HSYNC. We don't need the Camera Interface but I wanted to know if I can use this pins for GPIO. According to the OMAP Datasheet these pins have dual functions and can be defined for GPIO in the register settings. So can I redefine them as GPIO or does that create a conflict or problem on the SOM board? We will be used the SOM board with WinCE.

    Thanks
    Gary

    I believe I may have a related question, we want to use uP_GPIO_3 as a signal from a microcontroller to the OMAP. This pin is one that can be either a GPIO or part of the camera interface. We've tried to use the driver included with the Win CE 6.0 BSP to read the state of this pin with absolutely no success.

    Were you ever able to determine if those pins can be reassigned to GPIO service without causing problems and if so how you go about doing it?

    Thanks
