BBAI: Assistance requested with configuring P9_15 as an output gpio

Hi,

I’ve been trying to configure a header gpio pin such as P9_15 as an output port on the BBAI but I am having no luck. This pin is used with the Cloud9 Python and JS examples but it is not working so I have tried to enable it manually.

I’ve added the following in the am5729-beagleboneai.dts file and run make and make install and a reboot:

`
cape_pins: cape_pins {
compatible = “gpio-leds”;
pinctrl-names = “default”;
gpios = <&gpio3 12 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
pinctrl-0 = <&cape_pins_default>;
};

`

`
DRA7XX_CORE_IOPAD(0x3514, PIN_OUTPUT | MUX_MODE14) /* AG4: P9.15: vin1a_d8.gpio3_12 - MDIR2A */

`

The config-pins tools shows

`
debian@beaglebone:~$ sudo config-pin -q p9.15
[sudo] password for debian:
P9_15 pinmux file not found!
Pin has no cape: P9_15

`

The show-pins tools shows:

`
debian@beaglebone:~$ sudo /opt/scripts/device/bone/show-pins.pl

Hi,

I've been trying to configure a header gpio pin such as P9_15 as an output port on the BBAI but I am having no luck. This pin is used with the Cloud9 Python and JS examples but it is not working so I have tried to enable it manually.

I've added the following in the am5729-beagleboneai.dts file and run make and make install and a reboot:

        cape_pins: cape_pins {
                compatible = "gpio-leds";
                pinctrl-names = "default";
                gpios = <&gpio3 12 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
                pinctrl-0 = <&cape_pins_default>;
        };

DRA7XX_CORE_IOPAD(0x3514, PIN_OUTPUT | MUX_MODE14) /* AG4: P9.15: vin1a_d8.gpio3_12 - MDIR2A */

^ looks correct..

The config-pins tools shows

debian@beaglebone:~$ sudo config-pin -q p9.15
[sudo] password for debian:
P9_15 pinmux file not found!
Pin has no cape: P9_15

Don't use config-pin the bbai..

The show-pins tools shows:

debian@beaglebone:~$ sudo /opt/scripts/device/bone/show-pins.pl
Can't locate Inline/Files.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Inline::Files module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/perl/5.24.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.24.1 /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/perl5/5.24 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/perl/5.24 /usr/share/perl/5.24 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/perl-base) at /opt/scripts/device/bone/show-pins.pl line 11.

sudo apt install libinline-files-perl

Regards,

Oh, duh! I should have caught that missing lib.
Okay, so the output of show-pins shows P.15 but it neither shows as up or down. Is this correct?

debian@beaglebone:~$ sudo /opt/scripts/device/bone/show-pins.pl | grep “P9.15”
P9.15 69 AG4 e fast gpio3_12

Also, is the ‘69’ value the gpio number that is used to enable this?
Such as :

debian@beaglebone:~$ sudo echo 69 > /sys/class/gpio/export
debian@beaglebone:~$ sudo echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio69/direction
debian@beaglebone:~$ sudo echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio69/value

Since this is gpio3_12 I was thinking it was ‘108’ considering the 32x3+12 calculation as with the BB Black.
Neither 69 or 108 seems to work though.

Also, are the failed messages from the version output something to be concerned about?

There’s no gpio0 on AM57x, so it is 2*32 +12 = 76.

Huzzah! Using 76 did the trick. There is now light on P9.15
I guess I missed that the AM57x did not have a gpio0.

Thanks a bunch.

Okay, so based on a discussion on element14 and out of my own curiosity, I am attempting to set a header pin to PWM but I am not having much luck.
Looking again at the am5729-beagleboneai-roboticscape.dts as an example, I set P8_23 (gpio22) as follows:

DRA7XX_CORE_IOPAD(0x3794, PIN_OUTPUT | MUX_MODE10) /* AC8: P8.23: mmc3_dat4.ehrpwm3A - PWM3A */

And then rebuild the .dtb

cd /opt/source/dtb-4.19-ti/
make src/arm/am5729-beagleboneai.dtb
sudo make install
sudo reboot

If I run the analogInOut.js Cloud9 example, the LED does not turn on. I have to set the pin back to GPIO Mode14 for it to work.

Nothing seems to get populated in ‘/sys/class/pwm’ so I suspect I am missing something.

Is there an easier way to set this?

Cheers,

Jon
