MC 02:02 PM Software Development: RE: GPIO interrupt in MityOMAP-L138F
Hi Mike,
thanks for fast reply!
The best would be an example using an fpga gpio pin and an omap pin, just to test the possibilities.
Does the .tcf configuration file has a role in configuring the interrupt based on an fpga gpio p...

MW 01:07 PM Software Development: RE: GPIO interrupt in MityOMAP-L138F
Are you trying to use a FPGA GPIO or an OMAP-L138 GPIO?
The DspGpio.h class should provide access to the OMAP-L138 GPIOs from the DSP. The DspFpgaGpio.h class should be used to access FPGA based GPIO modules. Both classes are derive...

MC 11:36 AM Software Development: GPIO interrupt in MityOMAP-L138F
Hello all,
I need to hook a HWI to a GPIO pin in a DSP application.
I have some questions:
1- Do your core library provide any class to do that? I see DspFpgaGpio.h and Gpio.h, but they lack a bit of documentation, and I can't find ...

Can you add more details regarding this statement: _The DSP loop optimization can create large interrupt latency as well (which can cause missed interrupts on things like large memory copies by the CPU, etc)._
For example, ...

Mike,
it's the L138-FX-225-RC Module. No FPGA.
I'm concerned about both kinds of traces.

MW 07:33 AM PCB Development: RE: Resistors in EMA signal and adress traces?
Which part number? Specifically, does the module include an FPGA or not?
Which EMA traces are you concerned with, data lines, control, or both?
I do not believe there are any inline series resistors on the data or address lines.

Marek,
The UPP clocks may be sourced by either the FPGA or the OMAP-L138 based on your configuration requirements. If sourced by the OMAP-L138, you should be able to run the input clock to a DCM or a PLL and align the data-eyes on th...

Udev happens before the tmpfs entries get mounted from the fstab file.
Jonathan Cormier
JC 03:56 PM Software Development: RE: Creating a Read-Only Filesystem
Your fstab entry doesn't have auto in the options list so it isn't auto mounted on startup. You should probably use the defaults and then override the options you want changed.
*defaults* Uses the default options that are rw, suid, d...
