AN 04:38 PM PCB Development: MityDSP-L138F Mounting Holes (Posted on behalf of a customer)
I’m designing a carrier board to host the MityDSP-L138F and would like to use the plated through holes at the edge of the module to solidly mount it to my carrier board. I know the location of the plated through holes relative to the mod... Angela Newman
MW 07:52 AM FPGA Development: RE: What‘s the configuration mode of the FPGA?

The EMA_WE (B9) pin of the OMAP-L138 is connected to the CCLK (R15) pin on the FPGA for slave select configuration. The WE pin is used during the EMIFA write cycle as a controlled clock to drive the FPGA CCLK during configuration whil...

YL 11:40 PM FPGA Development: RE: What‘s the configuration mode of the FPGA?
Hello Mike,
I still have a question. I found out in the MityDSP-L138F Carrier Board Design Guide that you connected the pin EMA_WE/GP3[11] of L138 to CCLK pin of FPGA. But the FPGA configuration document suggests DSP's CLOCK pin conn...

Hi Michele,
I've worked on a project using the RMII before, and as far as I remember we needed to select the correct interface as described in the link Tim provided, and we also needed an FPGA build to route some of the RMII signals....

EB 02:10 PM PCB Development: RE: USB0_ID on MityARM-1810 PROFIBUS DK
FYI Mike,
Our cable is a A to mini-B and pins 4&5 are not shorted.
USB0_ID is always low regardless of cable presence.
The AM1808 SPRS653C 2.7.17 says that USB0_ID is an analog input w/o a pullup.
They don't say that it needs an ...

Hello Mr. Bradford,

The input clock on the L138 is indeed 24MHz. The max CPU speed on the L138F is actually 456MHz.
I will have the marketing folk look into correcting the table in the overview document.
sorry for any confusion.

I have finally got the switch to work. The last problem was that I had set the CONF0-CONF2 bits to 0x110, which sets MAC 5 to MAC operation. I have now set it to PHY (0b101) and I can now connect to the network.

I think the dns-* options in /etc/network/interfaces require that you have the resolvconf package installed. Do you have it? Mattias Ekstrom
DG 01:51 AM Software Development: RE: Can't ping by name
Solved! Thank you!
The only disadvatage is the /etc/resolv.conf file is rewritten (by udhcpc?) on reboot.
I wonder the dns-nameserver parameter in the /etc/network/interfaces has no meaning, even for static ip configuration?

MW 07:30 AM Software Development: RE: Can't ping by name
We've noticed that the DNS doesn't get updated automatically as well.
If you know your DNS server, as a workaround, add the following entry to /etc/resolv.conf (you may need to create this file if it's not there).
