Hello,

Thank you for reaching out with your question about the GPIO pins on your Verdin AM62 Dual 1GB development board. Let’s go through some steps to help you configure and use the GPIO pins effectively:

1. Device Tree Configuration: Ensure that the GPIO pins you wish to use are correctly configured in the device tree. Some pins might be reserved for other functions, so you may need to modify the device tree to set them up as GPIOs. This involves checking the pin multiplexing settings.

2. Using libgpiod Tools: The libgpiod library offers tools like gpioinfo, gpioset, and gpioget to manage GPIO pins:

   • Use gpioinfo to list all GPIO lines and their configurations.
   • Use gpioset to set a GPIO line to a specific state (high or low).
   • Use gpioget to read the current state of a GPIO line.

3. Consult the Datasheet: Review the Verdin AM62 datasheet to confirm which pins are available as GPIOs and ensure they are not allocated to other functions. The datasheet will provide necessary details on default configurations and any changes needed.

4. Testing the Pins: After verifying the configuration, you can test the GPIO pins using a multimeter or an LED to ensure they are functioning as expected.

By following these steps, you should be able to configure and utilize the GPIO pins on your board successfully. If you encounter further issues, double-check the device tree settings to ensure no conflicts with other interfaces.

I hope this helps! Feel free to reach out if you have more questions.

How to get IEEE 1588 1PPS on iMX6ULL?

Good morning we need to get out IEEE 1588 1PPS on iMX6ULL in order to connect it to our data acquisition system. we are interested in having a PPS with an accuracy up to 100 us. Currently we can synchronize via PTP protocol our module iMX6ULL with Linux image BSP 5.7.0 version

AM62 Gpio sys/class computation - Driver Lora

Hi Toradex, I’m implementing the Lora Gateway driver from Semtech : Bad luck, this driver implement a reset.sh script that use the sys/class/gpio old fashion. So I need, to expose this gpio to my C program running into my container. My debian image build this driver that generate archive that i have linked into my C program. But first, to validate my hardware connexion, i would like to just execute the example util_chip_Id program that read the pciE sx1302 module connected to SPI + reset …
