Hi all,
I am new in this forum so please correct me if I miss something.
Currently I am struggeling with some modifications on an already working project from https://github.com/luigif/hcsr04 where a HCSR04 sonar is triggered via PRU. The sample works fine and I tried to move this to different pins because in the end I will need several of the sonars for my project. To move the sample to pin P9_27 (as trigger pin) and P9_31 (as echo pin) I adjusted the dts file and a of course the .p file accordingly. Accidantally I found the modified sample working when I set the GPIO pin manually to an output pin in /sys/class/gpio/. At the moment I remove the gpio pin from /sys/class/gpio the sample stops working again. Its strange to me because the output from my pin configuration looks correct after loading the overlay:
`
cat /sys/kernel/debug/pinctrl/44e10800.pinmux/pins
…
pin 115 (44e109cc) 00000007 pinctrl-single
…
`
Pin 115 (P9_27 as GPIO3_19) is set here as mode7, pull down enabled and output. But loading the overlay does not pull the the pin to ground as I can see with a multimeter. Has someone any idea?

I work with a BBB in revision C.1 on kernel 3.8.13 (bone47)

Thank you in advance!
