BBB (buster) setup to get analog inputs working

I would like to use 4 analog inputs ( AIN0, AIN2, AIN4, AIN6 ). The devices are not available, but the
overlay is loaded at boot time.

1.) config-pin -l P9.39

So … BB-ADC-00A0.bb.org-overlays was loaded …

BTW, PRU 0 is in use and works fine .

So what is missing? I’m running out of ideas …

Thanks for any good hint

Analog is is solved … not really clear why … but it works now.
Concerning eqep I’m going to open a new thread

The analog read issue is solved.
iolib_init() of BBBio_lib causes the problem.
At the moment iolib_init(); is called, the analog inputs are busy, no longer usable,
independent if the program is still running or not.
It’s independent of iolib_free(); also, can call it or not, analog inputs are temporarily unavailable,
up to reboot … and then as long iolib_init() is not called.

But eqep is working only with kernel 4.19.94-ti-r42. Independent of iolib_init();
No idea how to solve that. Will not update.
That’s a hard decision, don’t like that. Because there is hidden behavior, finally I want to control a machine, think I have to know what it is.

Update:
After apt update ; apt upgrade
my encoder is no longer working ( P8.11 / P8.12 )
config-pin -l P8.11
default gpio gpio_pu gpio_pd gpio_input qep pruout
config-pin -q P8.11
P8_11 Mode: default Direction: in Value: 1
config-pin P8.11 qep
/usr/local/bin/config-pin: 1489: echo: echo: I/O error
Cannot write pinmux file: /sys/devices/platform/ocp/ocp:P8_11_pinmux/state
config-pin -q P8.11

And I can*t still get analog values …
config-pin -l P9.32
Pin is not modifiable: P9.32 VADC
config-pin -q P9.32
Pin is not modifiable: P9_32 VADC

But can’t get any value.
Trying to get my old working environment back alive … :joy:

Priority has the eqep interface … up to now it worked perfect …

It doesn’t look like anyone responded to you. Sorry. To my knowledge, the analog pins are not configurable so using config-pin is not required to set those up. I have never even tried that and my analog inputs work just fine. I’m assuming you are doing this on the ARM side of the system. If you are reading the ADC with the PRU, then you have do quite a bit of setup for your ADC with code in the PRU.

@Pieps
Find ADC and eQEP features in libpruio. No need for config-pin tool. Instead do pinmuxing inside your source code (unlimited, fast, reliable).

Got any examples for pru analog Input pin setup? In c instead of Asm would be helpful
