BC 03:37 PM Software Development: RE: Databases on MityArm 335x
Thank you for the response. I'll be sure to look them up and see what they have to offer.
Again I've been impressed with the feedback via this forum.
Thanks,

Hi Brian,
You might consider, for the MityARM-3359, using the "Timesys":http://www.timesys.com/supported/boards/criticallink support packages. Timesys offers a free root filesystem builder along with many packages that are routinely ...

At this point I am using the file system that came on the SD card as part of the dev kit right from Critical Link.
I installed sqlite using "opkg install sqlite3" which completes without error. Just to be sure, I did do a "opkg updat...

Hi Brian,
Are you using the filesystem from the TI SDK/PSP or the Angstrom one distributed by Critical Link? If you are using the TI PSP, you might check/post to the TI E2E site (http://e2e.ti.com). sqlite3 is probably the preferred...

Hi Mark,
Rev 3 A does not show VIO_3P3 to the VDDS_HVx pins (it still has +3.3 to everything except the LCD pin pullups for the bootstrap mode), but I believe it should. We are in the process of updating the reference schematic to ad...

I will take a look at the schematics by Friday and update the link as necessary. I believe you are correct...the Rev B and Rev C point to the same schematic.
Sorry about the delay on this issue,

My best guess would be that you need to update the kernel and modules. (git://support.criticallink.com/home/git/linux-mityarm-335x.git).
WiFi support is not in the kernel that was delivered on the SD card with the base dev kits.

I missed the u-boot connection as my impression was that u-boot did as little as
possible leaving the rest to the kernel.

At the moment, this part does not appear to be obsolete, but Digikey is dropping it.
we are discussing an alternate part here, but for now are staying with it. I'll let you know when I know more.

Hey Mike,
The reason I was looking at u-boot was that the reset value of that register is zero and StarterWare does not use that bit. If you guys have a list of u-boot file that you modified I'd be happy to look through them ...

Hi John,
A large chunk of the u-Boot code was derived from TI's u-Boot from their EVM PSP version 4.06.00.03.
I'm looking at the code, and I'm not seeing any access to bit 5 of the TCLR_REG for timer 2. The timer does get enabled ...
Michael Williamson
10:58 AM Software Development: RE: DMTimer running slowly for StarterWare
It appears that u-boot is setting the Prescaler enable bit (bit 5) of DMTimer2 timer control register (TLCR, offset 0x38, 0x48040038.) Why would the MityARM uboot set this bit? i.e. what is it being used for?
Thanks,

Looks like I can just use the StarterWare RTC code for this then. Already working.

Wanted to comment here.
There is an on-board 32KHz clock that is fed first to the TPS65910. The TPS65910 then forwards this same clock to the RTC input clock on the AM3359. So, you should see that RTC clock functioning if you try to r...

Actually, the code in the linux tree on our git repository is for the on-board RTC (drivers/rtc/rtc-omap.c). We are working on the driver for the RTC function of the 65910 (which is part of an MFC driver).

Hi,
I'd like to find out which driver code is used for the MityARM 335x RTC. I believe the supplied linux uses the TPS65910 RTC via the I2C interface.
Can someone point me to the correct file(s)?

VIO_3P3 is switched on by the SOM after the core voltages to the AM335X are enabled. VIO_3P3 should also be used for the "high" levels on the bootstrap mode pins (LCD_DATA pins).
It is generated using a TPS62290 that is sourcing the ...

Is VIO_3P3 (pins 21, 23, 25 & 27) NC on the MityARM 3359? Looks like all 4 are tied together but are no-connect. Is there really 3.3V power available from these? I have them wired to VDDSHV2 & VDDSHV4 as suggested in the Design Guide ... Joel Meltzer
