JC 01:56 PM Software Development: RE: Using WKUP_UART0 in Linux Space
Holden, TI wants to know if you are using the "VPAC/ISP camera functionality on your AM62A7". Presumably to determine if you need the dm_edgeai firmware or if you can get away with just the normal "ipc_echo_testb_mcu1_0_release_strip.xe... Jonathan Cormier

I just responded to your support email but will put my response here as well so others can benifit.

HW 08:18 PM Software Development: Using WKUP_UART0 in Linux Space
Hi,
I am having some difficulty bringing up a serial port that utilizes WKUP_UART0 pins. From what I understand, it is typically reserved for DM logging and is unusuable in Linux until it is disabled. I have disabled the UART log for ...

Thanks for the update Jonathan Cormier
RD 11:44 AM Software Development: RE: Uart issue in Am62P
Hi Jonathan,
The issue was in the code. We have a function that returns an int, but the application was crashing within that function when running on the AM62P with Debian OS. However, it works fine on the AM62A BSP.
I suspect the ...

Thanks for the update. Would you mind sharing what the solution was? Jonathan Cormier

Hi Jonathan,
I was on a long vacation until recently. The issue has now been fixed.
Best regards,

TT 09:53 PM Software Development: RE: Can't read state of output GPIO pins
Thank you, that would explain it. We ended up setting the pin regardless of the current state. It was an easier change for us.

JC 06:05 PM Software Development: RE: Can't read state of output GPIO pins
At least for the AM62x, Pins that need to be read, must be pinmuxed as PIN_INPUT*. The only difference between the PIN_OUTPUT and PIN_INPUT #define is whether the input buffer is enabled. Jonathan Cormier
TT 05:53 PM Software Development: Can't read state of output GPIO pins
Hi,
On an AM62x we have a gpio pin (/dev/gpiochip2, line 10) muxed as an output pin. Our application checks the state of this pin to see if it is in the desired state before setting it if needed. Unfortunately the pin state is always ...

JC 05:05 PM Software Development: RE: AM62A eMMC Boot - Kernel Device Tree
Great glad it worked. Hopefully the dtc command examples will be helpful for you and others as well Jonathan Cormier
BH 04:59 PM Software Development: RE: AM62A eMMC Boot - Kernel Device Tree
I md5sum'ed the SD dtb and the emmc dtb, they were in-fact different. I re-copied the files and now it is working. I guess in some step I mixed up which device I had updated the rootfs on. I think this is solved. Thank you for your help! Ben H
JC 04:24 PM Software Development: RE: AM62A eMMC Boot - Kernel Device Tree
It would also be a good idea to md5sum the emmc and sdcard versions of the tfc dtb to make sure they are infact identical. Jonathan Cormier
JC 04:23 PM Software Development: RE: AM62A eMMC Boot - Kernel Device Tree
Thanks Ben, I hadn't realized that.
Lets make sure the tfc device tree file contains what you expect it to.
Do you have the "dtc" tool on the filesystem, I think we include it by default?
You can use it to inspect the compiled d...

MW 03:35 PM Software Development: RE: AM62A eMMC Boot - Kernel Device Tree
can you also post the dtb file? Michael Williamson
BH 03:21 PM Software Development: RE: AM62A eMMC Boot - Kernel Device Tree
Sorry, I just posted the u-boot log, it does indeed boot. Per the u-boot log it claims to load my dtb but the differences in the device tree once in linux are not present, here's just one example, if in SD boot I see my device tree refle... Ben H
JC 02:43 PM Software Development: RE: AM62A eMMC Boot - Kernel Device Tree
> Some progress made, it now finds the file but still does not load it.
It looks like it did load it from the eMMC so that is indeed progress
