MW 07:29 PM MityDSP-L138 (ARM9 Based Platforms) Software Development: RE: Requirements to install the fpga_ctrl.ko?
Matt,
Are you sure you have an LX-45 based FPGA? The LX-45 does not bond out 8 pins that the LX-16 does. These include pins F12, E12, D12, C12, F11, E11, E7, and E8 (this should be documented in the specification). All of this sign...

Hi Matt,
Are you using a wide screen monitor? We've seen some widescreen monitors won't lock up with VGA resolution due to the aspect ratio. You might try using the wvga_800x480 setting instead (that is the resolution that the visio...

Hi Mike,
Yes, I am using the DVI connector. The FPGA image I am using is one I generated for the x45 FPGA from the source code in examples/industrial_io/fpga. I though this code was for the vision framework kit and would have support ...

MW 05:58 PM MityDSP-L138 (ARM9 Based Platforms) Software Development: RE: Requirements to install the fpga_ctrl.ko?
Hi Matt,
If you are trying to use the DVI connector, you need to use the FPGA image that was built to run with the DVI interface and not the LCD interface. The builds are different as the clock rates and pin-outs/routing are not the ...

Ok good news! I got the FPGA bin files needed so that the FPGA ready light comes on. The not so great news is I can't get anything to show up on the monitor connected to the industrial_io board.

Hi Mike,
Should have mentioned Linux and Lighttpd are very new for me.
I had assumed I could just compile the lighttpd included in the ti-sdk-am335x-evm-05.03.02.00 and transfer it to the AM3359 module.
However, I do no know how to do...

Certainly... The PCB number is "120540". I've no boards plugged in at all - just the L138 module and the baseboard. There's only a single wire pushed into the connector which is connected to a voltmeter.
I'll try another one.....

Do you have an expansion board plugged in right now? Can you disconnect it if you do?

GPIO0/15 is the opposite which is rather odd. It starts out as 0, whereas GPIO0/7 starts out as 1:
root@mityomapl138:/sys/class/gpio# cat gpio15/value
0
root@mityomapl138:/sys/class/gpio# echo "out" > gpio15/direction

MW 07:23 AM MityDSP-L138 (ARM9 Based Platforms) Software Development: RE: Simple GPIO toggle
Hi Conor,
I don't see anything wrong with your approach. You might check the value that the pin is reading back (e.g., cat /sys/class/gpio7/value). If the pin is stuck, it should right a "1" in all cases. If it is toggling, then per...

I see this has been asked before in various ways so sorry to ask again (I'm not getting it!).
I have pin 19 from J700 hooked up to a meter. The MityDSP docs say this is GPIO, bank 0 offset 7.
So I should be able to toggle the pin b...

So anyway, the mod-fastcgi.so should not require you to rebuild the kernel. You should be able to download it, "configure" it, and install it on your platform filesystem.

Greg,
Thanks for answer.
By the way, do you have a dummy FPGA load (in .bin format) that output "known fake data" on uPP?
It can be very very very useful.
Thanks!

In regards to your follow up question, yes, you will most likely need to invalidate the cache on your receive buffer each time before passing it into the DspUpp receive function in ...

We have not done any work with running the system in digital loopback mode. The fact that you are getting a response back and not just hanging on the receive mailbox is a good sign. The pinmuxing should not matter as dig...
