Okay sounds good Jonathan Cormier
TR 08:55 AM MitySOM-AM57X Software Development: RE: Interfacing pca9535 with arm using i2c expanders (J5)(i2c5)
Sorry for the late reply.
We were able to interface the pca9535 after adding the respective nodes for it in the i2c5 bus configuration in the am57xx-mitysom-baseboard.dts file.
Will update if anything else comes up.
Thank you

Unfortunately TI's guidance at least for SDK 6, is that the majority of pinmuxing must be done in u-boot while the IO's are in isolation mode... Setting up the pinmux in u-boot is covered in this following wiki page.

Hi Raj,
Does it work on the TI EVM? The reason I ask is that the EVM has 8 GB of memory. I just want to make sure it's memory size and not something with the IPC / DSP comms and enabling ECC that is the problem.
