MW 07:18 AM Software Development: RE: Ethernet gadget - unable to connect to host PC
Hello Mads,
Sorry for the delay. Can you please post the part number for your board? On some of our older boards there was a problem with the USB_ID pin on the OTG connector. Let's make sure that's not the issue.
There is inform...

The EMIFA pins (PowerGroup B) are configured as 3.3V for all configurations of the MityDSP-L138 and MityARM-18XX family of SOMS. Michael Williamson
MW 07:20 AM Software Development: RE: Profibus Matser development on the Profibus DevKit
Hi Jeremy,
We have not done anything here with Profibus Master on the AM1810. TI provides a 3rd party vendor for the AM1810 Profibus PRU drivers. I believe they have tested their firmware using the MityDSP-1810 on an Industrial I/O ...

Hi Christian,
We do not currently distribute the vhdl for the MDK cores that are missing from that project. We do, however, distribute the netlists, which will allow you to build that project. Include the netlists from MDK\fpga\cores\...

MW 10:50 AM Software Development: RE: TFTP (or FTP) Server
Normally, we use scp to transfer files to a remote server on the ARM.
You can configure ssh keys to allow transfers without having to type a password in, if you need it.

MF 10:04 AM Software Development: TFTP (or FTP) Server
How do you start a tftp (or ftp) server on the ARM? Or how do you transfer files to a remote server programmatically? I need to have the server start up automatically or be started from a function call, not from a shell command line.

That is exactly what I need. Thanks Mike. Tim Eastham
MW 11:01 AM Software Development: RE: Bootcmd break
Tim,
Just hit a key and break and load the code manually?
If you want the FPGA to be loaded, then we often make a separate script for loading the fpga, e.g:
setenv progfpga 'sf probe 0;sf read 0xc0700000 0x580000 0x80000;loadfpg...

TE 10:51 AM Software Development: Bootcmd break
I am presently storing the firmware in non-volatile memory when I hand it off for testing. The problem is, sometimes I need to just download some code into ram to test. Is there a way to provide an opportunity to break in a bootcmd? H... Tim Eastham

hi mike. thank you but
I just did you notice to me "Network configuration" article.
It can changed Ethernet config 2 to 3 or 3 to 2 but it can not changed 2 or 3 to 0. is it normal?

You should be able to disable the ethernet device by setting the ethernet configuration in u-Boot to indicate no ethernet according to "this wiki page":http://support.criticallink.com/redmine/projects/arm9-platforms/wiki/Network_configur... Michael Williamson

The PRU drivers are not installed. You'll need to rebuild the kernel. You may need to patch in the PRU drivers as well.

What version of the kernel are you using? The pre-programmed one on FLASH? That version of the kernel may be older than the patch that adds support for upping the speed beyond 300 MHz.

Hi Michele,
The reason that you're not seeing the echo'ed value of the GPIO change is due to the way the core is connected. In order to solve this you will need to connect the o_io outputs of the GPIO core back to i_io. This was most ...

On the Non-FPGA modules, all 4 of these signals have a 1K Ohm series resistor between the on-board nets and the edge connector. This effectively makes putting a non FPGA module into a board like the Industrial I/O kit OK if...
