SPI on Beagleboard Black - beagleboneblack

I've been trying to make the serial communication work on my BBB for days now and I am running out of ideas.
When I use just the BBB and connect MISO/MOSI I get the signal transfer on MOSI, SCLK and CS (MISO is mainly at high level). However, when I connect the lines to my slave part it does not work. I checked the signals on the oscilloscope and they seem fine and the part which I am using as the slave is working well when I set it in parallel mode, so I believe some programming or configuration must be wrong.
This is basically what I do:
config-pin P9.17 spi_cs
config-pin P9.18 spi
config-pin P9.21 spi
config-pin P9.22 spi_sclk
python
from Adafruit_BBIO.SPI import SPI
spi = SPI(1,0) #I would expect SPI(0,0) here, but I get the signal on the above configured ports
Then I set the configurations (already tried in many ways):
spi.mode = 0
spi.cshigh = False
spi.msh = 10500000
spi.bpw = 16
spi.lsbfirst = False
After that I open it and try to send data:
spi.open(1,0)
spi.xfer2([1,254])
If anyone is interested, I am trying to program the LMH6517 as slave and I already tried to ask about this at the TI forum here:
https://e2e.ti.com/support/amplifiers/f/14/t/751415
Oscilloscope images:
CS and SCLK
MOSI and SCLK
MISO and SCLK
Thank you,

read and write on serial port with a lua script on raspberry

i'm currently working on a project aiming at controlling a RS232 device by a Raspberry pi4. I'm forced by other softwares to use a lua script and i never coded in lua, even if i have already made the code in Python... I've searched on google far and wide for an answer but have not found anything helping me.
I want my raspberry to open the COM port, and then read and send messages through that port.
I've tried the lua user wiki and This post on stackoverflow (read and write on windows) but both can't be applied to raspberry.
If anyone could help that'd be awesome !
here's my code in python if that can help you.

Hi, try vsergeev/lua-periphery: A Lua library for peripheral I/O (GPIO, LED, PWM, SPI, I2C, MMIO, Serial) in Linux
, especially Serial section.
Not sure the dev path for you.
In my case the periphery COM device connect to TTL-USB converter, then USB of Pi, so path is '/dev/ttyUSBx'.
As I know, GPIO has UART serial support too.

Can't locate Arduino AT-Tiny

I have 2 types of ARDUINO-cards. ATMEGA 2560 and ATMEGA 328P.
In my Delphi7 (XP64 sp2) I have modified the JvHidDeviceController Unit to show the PID/VID's of the abovementioned Cards. That works perfectly. And with the use of the TComPort unit I can communicate with the selected card. No problems here.
And here is the problem:
I connect my AVR MARK II (usb-tiny). System "says" OK.
(When I run the ARUINO program I have no problems communicating with the connected card.)
I run the Delphi program (JVHidDeviceController Unit), the 2560 and 328p PID/VID appear in a LIST-box but NOT the AVR-MARK II.
I Wonder why ? Please help.
After a search on the WWW I discovered, that the UNO (328P) could be turned into a ISP programmer. And by doing so I solve 2 (sub-)problems. I got the code ("bootloader") and the UNO Stills responds to the JVHidDeviceController requests. (Final solution in reach.. ) Kris

how to write driver for MX 6 and TJA1100 PHY?

I am working on new costume board based on (i. MX 6Solo6DualLite).and I use (TJA1100 100BASE-T1 PHY) for Automotive Ethernet..
please correct me if my questions don't make sense, or I am in the wrong way.
I want to write driver for this device.. and make sure that it works correctly.
1- I can make sure that the driver works properly in the U-boot step, Right? I mean no need to load Linux kernel, so I have just to add source code C driver in U-boot source code and compile it. I want to do this in U-boot step, so I can limit the numbers of files that initialise all peripheriques, and make it simple as possible since that U-boot can behave like (mini-Os)
2-I don't know how to write this driver (exactly..), so I am looking for the driver (source code) that initialise the Ethernet Controller in any other processor , and initialise another typeof ethernet phy, in order to get an idea and write a similar driver source code for I.MX6 and TJA1100,?
after this i think that i could maybe add some very basic file c For simple Protocol like ARP, for test purpose..
3- is this good idea writing driver code by inspiring from another driver code source?
4 - maybe, if you already have a driver for (i. MX 6Solo6DualLite and TJA1100 100BASE-T1 PHY) can you provide to me please... ?
for my second question i tried to extract from U-boot source code the C file that initialise Ethernet Controller in AM335x, and initialise LAN8710A phy,(in beaglebone black) in order to get an idea and write a similar driver source code but i couldn't found it .. i found network C file for protocol .... but that's disturp me i couldn't seperate them from the real C file that initialise ethernet controller and ethernent Phy .
http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/SourceCode
There is a driver published on the NXP forum:
https://community.nxp.com/thread/460767
It includes both some bare metal code that should be usable with U-Boot and a Linux driver.

beaglebone GPIO3_13 (aka GPIO109) not exposed on P8 or P9?

I have run into some problem controlling usb1' power. as I investigated from
"https://e2e.ti.com/support/arm/sitara_arm/f/791/t/270060" It tells me that GPIO3_13 controls usb1_drvvbus pin, which controls the usb power.
I understand that there is software method to change the voltage of this pin.
My question is that where is GPIO3_13 located on P8 or P9 expansion bays? I cannot find it on any diagrams. Is it purposefully not exposed anywhere?
You can control USB1 power from software on the beaglebone, if you are using a recent elinux.org Debian image (the necessary device tree overlay was merged in June 2015). This uses a hack to expose the usb1_drvvbus signal as a fake LED, which can then be controlled using the files in /sys.
Firstly, load the dev-USB-PWR-CTL-00A1.dtbo device tree overlay. For recent setups (where all dtbos are loaded by uboot and then passed to the kernel at boot time), this could be done by adding dtb_overlay=/lib/firmware/dev-USB-PWR-CTL-00A1.dtbo to /boot/uEnv.txt and rebooting (older kernels/uboots will need to use the older config mechanisms as described in /boot/uEnv.txt).
You can then do this:
echo 'usb1' > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb/unbind
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/leds/leds/usb_hub_power/brightness
sleep 1
echo 255 > /sys/devices/platform/leds/leds/usb_hub_power/brightness
echo 'usb1' > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb/bind

how to use VxWorks etherOutputHookAdd

I'm stumped trying to get etherOutputHookAdd() to work. Its counterpart, etherInputHookAdd(), seems to work fine. The OS version in question is VxWorks 5.4 .
The hook code looks like so (the code I intend to actually run is more complicated, but this serves for an example.)
int anCounter;
STATUS etherHook(struct ifnet *pif, char *buf, int size)
{
anCounter += 1;
return FALSE;
}
I can hook up etherInputHookAdd from the vxworks shell like so
etherInputHookAdd etherHook,"fei",0
This returns 0 (STATUS OK), after which examination of the 'anCounter' variable will indicate activity as expected. However, no such luck with the output direction. I've tried both of these command lines
etherOutputHookAdd etherHook,"fei",0
etherOutputHookAdd etherHook
Both of these return OK, but the hook routine doesn't seem to be getting called at all. My best hypotheses are (1) I'm missing an initialization step, or calling it wrong, (2) the etherOutputHookAdd implementation is just a stub, (3) you just can't call it from the shell, or (4) maybe my nic driver implementation is buggy.
Any ideas that solve the central problem - how do I see what's being sent off my board - are welcome.
The following VxWorks network drivers support both the input-hook and output-hook routines:
if_cpm - Motorola MC68EN360 QUICC network interface driver
if_eex - Intel EtherExpress 16
if_ei - Intel 82596 ethernet driver
if_elc - SMC 8013WC Ethernet driver
if_elt - 3Com 3C509 Ethernet driver
if_ene - Novell/Eagle NE2000 network driver
if_fn - Fujitsu MB86960 NICE Ethernet driver
if_ln - Advanced Micro Devices Am7990 LANCE Ethernet driver
if_sm - shared memory backplane network interface driver
if_sn - National Semiconductor DP83932B SONIC Ethernet driver
if_ultra - SMC Elite Ultra Ethernet network interface driver
if_gn - generic MUX interface layer
The following drivers support only the input-hook routines:
if_nic - National Semiconductor SNIC Chip (for HKV30)
if_sl - Serial Line IP (SLIP) network interface driver
The following drivers support only the output-hook routines:
if_ulip - network interface driver for User Level IP (VxSim)
The following drivers do not support either the input-hook or output-hook routines:
if_loop - software loopback network interface driver
To those few who might stumble this way .. It was the horrible 'hypothesis 4'!
It turns out that in order for etherOutputHookAdd() to work correctly, it is incumbent on the NIC device driver writer to include a call to the function pointed to by etherOutputHookRtn. All etherOutputHookAdd() does is add your proffered packet handler to a list, so that when a NIC driver calls etherOutputHookRtn, you get a copy of what's being transmitted. Sadly, there are many drivers where for whatever reason, this was simply not done.
So in cases such as this one, there are only two courses of action.
find a patch for your driver, or patch it yourself
change tactics entirely, e.g., try using etherInputHookAdd() on the other side.
In case you migrate to a newer version (>6.x) of VxWorks , etherLib is no longer supported. Instead, one can use muxLib for a similar purpose.
Hook inbound traffic: Use muxBind with MUX_PROTO_PROMISC or MUX_PROTO_OUTPUT.
Hook outbound traffic: Use muxBind with MUX_PROTO_OUTPUT.
You should provide a callback routine in both cases.
