See Table 1 in the "datasheet":http://www.mitydsp.com/images/upload/File/MityDSP-L138F%20Spec.pdf. The pins are tagged with an asterix and a note at the bottom of the table. But yes, those are the 8 pins.

Hi Mike,
I didn't realize that the DVI wouldn't work with the LX-45, luckly we don't need the DVI interface. For reference are the 8 pins missing for DVI the only pin difference between LX16 and LX45?

TI 10:25 AM MitySOM-335x (ARM Cortex-A8 Based Products) Software Development: RE: Boot from NAND?
The MityARM-3359 is capable of booting from NAND. See wiki page http://support.criticallink.com/redmine/projects/armc8-platforms/wiki/Das_U-Boot_Port for specifics

Ah yes, that makes sense - I forgot about the degree of pin muxing going on in the L138 and the UPP would make sense there. My design is based around the WL1271 as well actually, although I've no reason to suppose a TXB0108 wouldn't do t... Conor O

TI 07:28 PM MitySOM-335x (ARM Cortex-A8 Based Products) PCB Development: RE: MityARM-335x LED D3 GPIO Pin?
The reason you can't talk to the PMIC (from linux) is likely that the pmic driver has grabbed the bus for itself.
If you are using the cmd line tools, you can add the -f flag to force it (I believe)
I'm pretty sure there is a way to ov...

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the help on where to look. I found the set_led_d3() function inside som.c in u-boot where this is being done.
I was curious why D3 was not turning on when using our new carrier board and whether we were reusing...

On the AM335x, D2 and D3 are connected to the TPS65910. D2 is connected to VDIG1 (VDIG1 output is only used for D2, no other circuits are powered by VDIG1). Typically, D2 is used as a "Powered" indicator for the module.
D3 is connec...

JM 06:32 PM MitySOM-335x (ARM Cortex-A8 Based Products) PCB Development: MityARM-335x LED D3 GPIO Pin?
Section 3.7 of the "MityARM-335x Carrier Board Design Guide.doc" from January 8, 2012 states that LED D3 is connected to a GPIO pin and can be software controlled.
Which AM3359 GPIO pin is connected to this LED? How should the PINM...

MW 07:10 PM MitySOM-335x (ARM Cortex-A8 Based Products) PCB Development: RE: MityARM-335x I2C1_SDA and I2C1_SCL Pull-up Resistors
I am looking at the schematic for the SOM, and there are 4.7K Ohm resistors on I2C1_SCL and I2C1_SDA to VDDIO (+3.3V). There also 4.7K pullups on I2C2_SCL and I2C2_SDA. Both I2C ports are connected to the PMIC. I think that the DevKit... Michael Williamson
JM 06:51 PM MitySOM-335x (ARM Cortex-A8 Based Products) PCB Development: MityARM-335x I2C1_SDA and I2C1_SCL Pull-up Resistors
It appears that the I2C1 pull-up resistors are placed on the DevKit (connected to the +3.3VDVI net) and not on the MityARM module itself. This seems to be an oversight/error since the I2C1 bus is also connected to the module's on-board ... Joel Minski
MW 07:06 PM MityDSP-L138 (ARM9 Based Platforms) PCB Development: RE: Used EMIFA-Signals/Pins
Yes, there should be several.
The only interface on the EMA on the modules with non-FPGA pins is the NAND (x8, but the upper 8 bit lines should probably be left alone). The NAND interface uses the following signals:
EMA_D(15..0)

This is the mainquestion: Are there some not used Pins of the EMA interface which i can use as GPIO and keep the onboard memory working at the same time?
I need the GPIOs on the EMA-Pins, because i wanna connect some devices to the dev-...

The linker error you have looks like the configure was not set up for cross compiling completely (i.e. /usr/lib/... libraries are being looked at instead of /usr/local/ti-sdk... ). I have not built libpcap or tcpdump myself so I...

MW 11:13 AM MityDSP-L138 (ARM9 Based Platforms) Software Development: RE: Vision Development Kit - What toolchain?
Any of the ARM side GCC toolchains released should work with the VDK. I would recommend using the most recent one distributed.
The DSP side, I believe, was compiled with CGT 6.1.19, but any version 7.0 chain should work.

Hello Conor,
Some background: the MMCSD1 was routed through the FPGA because it is pin-muxed with the UPP channel 0, which gets used quite a bit by our customers to push acquisition data from the FPGA into the OMAP-L138 processor. Ou...

I was looking at interfacing a wireless module to the MMCSD ports on the MityDSP L138F module. There are two ports available - one out to the dev board and one to the FPGA. The dev board is 3.3V LVCMOS but the module I have in...
