Software for Beagle-XM RevA2 (want to enable McSPI3 and McSPI4)

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DM3730

Hi,

I am from TI DLP Catalog group. I ordered beagleboard-xm couple of weeks back. Can you please point me where to get latest  Angstrom Distribution software. I got Linux Kernel v2.6.35 from one of my friend; but i have problem with enabling the McSPI3 and McSPI4 ports. Searching online material points to Kernel patch and other things; i believe  the latest version don't need any patches to enable the port.

Regards,

Sanjeev

 

  • To enable McSPI3 and McSPI4 you need to set the pinmux so the pins on will have that function (they can have up to 8 functions so you must set one).

    To do so, you can patch the kernel or compile u-boot with the new settings, i think it's easy to compule u-boot so i would tell you to do that.

    Take a look here http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardPinMux#Examples

    Just remember to get the correct information from the DM3730 fatasheet  (the beagleboard datasheet may be wrong)

    That's it.
