to BeagleBone

Hello All -

the problem

I am working with the beaglebone black design and have migrated the code we have running on the 3.8 version of the kernel to 4.19. we have almost full functionality on this unit now.

My problem is that one of the pins that needs to be assinned to the pru is not being set in the device tree when working in the 4.19 version. there has been no change from the 3.8 device tree in this area which was working fine. all the other pins seem to configure ok.

I have tried to write to this pin (p9.25) from ti's omapconf tool (super handy for debug by the way, can read any register it would appear). the write fails to change the register contents.

It appears like something is blocking the pin register from being set at the kernel level.

I am trying to assign pin p.9.25 (pinmux address 0x44e109AC) to the value 0x05 which will point it to the pru register as an output

it always returns as 0x27 . this is the gpio mode as an input (presumably the default)

Please advise if more or different information is needed. I have attached the listings that seem relevant below.

Really appreciate the effort you all put in to the support here. we would not be able to function without it.

thanks

Mark

Additional information -

I have tried the zeroing of the emmc to resolve bootloader possible problem. did not help

I am running from the sd card.

I have disabled video and audio in uEnv.txt

thanks

Mark
