=== Display options ===
 +
CM-T3517 evaluation platform has four video output interfaces: LCD, DVI, LVDS and TV-out. Default configuration of Debian Linux for CM-T3517 uses LCD as primary video output. It is possible to switch between the DVI and LCD interfaces on the fly. TV-out can be used simultaneously with LCD or DVI interface.<br>
 +
Linux implementation of the OMAP3 display subsystem is described in detail in {{filename|[http://gitorious.org/linux-omap-dss2/linux/blobs/master/Documentation/arm/OMAP/DSS Documentation/arm/OMAP/DSS]}} file in the Linux kernel source tree.  
 +
 
 +
==== Display resolutions ====
 +
* The Toppoly LCD supplied with CM-T3517 evaluation kit supports 480x640 resolution with 18 bits per color
 +
* DVI output can be configured for standard resolutions using kernel command line parameter {{parameter|omapfb.mode}}:
 +
*: 1024x768 - omapfb.mode=dvi:1024x768-24@60
 +
*: 800x600 - omapfb.mode=dvi:800x600-24@60
 +
*: 640x480 - omapfb.mode=dvi:640x480-24@60
 +
* TV-out supports PAL and NTSC standards
 +
 
 +
==== Examples ====
 +
 
 +
* Switch from LCD to DVI
 +
<pre>
 +
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/display0/enabled
 +
echo "dvi" > /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/manager0/display
 +
fbset -fb /dev/fb0 -xres 1024 -yres 768
 +
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/display1/enabled
 +
</pre>
 +
 
 +
* Switch from DVI to LCD
 +
<pre>
 +
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/display1/enabled
 +
echo "lcd" > /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/manager0/display
 +
fbset -fb /dev/fb0 -xres 480 -yres 640
 +
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/display0/enabled
 +
</pre>
 +
 
 +
=== GPIO access ===
 +
Linux provides simple and convenient GPIO access via {{filename|sysfs}} interface. A GPIO should be exported using {{filename|/sys/class/gpio/export}}. After the GPIO is exported it is possible to change its direction and value using {{filename|/sys/class/gpio/gpioX/direction}} and {{filename|/sys/class/gpio/gpioX/value}} attributes.
 +
 
 +
==== Example ====
 +
The following example demonstrates how to configure GPIO 140 as output and set value to high:
 +
<pre>
 +
echo 140 > /sys/class/gpio/export
 +
echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio140/direction
 +
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio140/value
 +
</pre>
 +
{{Note|The above example assums that the corresponding pin is set to mux '''mode 4''' and the GPIO 140 is '''not''' requested in the Linux kernel.}}
 +
 
 +
=== Graphics SDK ===
 +
The CM-T3517 Linux package contains pre-built and ready to run SGX functionality demo programs.
 +
* The SGX configuration script must be run on CM-T3730 before '''first use''':
 +
<pre>
 +
root@cm-debian:~# /etc/init.d/omap-demo
 +
</pre>
 +
 
 +
* The SGX kernel modules must be loaded prior running the demos:
 +
<pre>
 +
root@cm-debian:~# /etc/init.d/rc.pvr start
 +
</pre>
 +
 
 +
==== Running Graphics SDK OpenGL ES1.x Demos ====
 +
* To run OpenGL ES1.x demos, perform the following:
 +
<pre>
 +
root@cm-debian:~# cd /opt/gfxsdkdemos/ogles
 +
root@cm-debian:/opt/gfxsdkdemos/ogles# ./OGLESEvilSkull
 +
</pre>
 +
This will execute the {{filename|OGLESEvilSkull}} demo. Press {{parameter|‘q’}} on the CM-T3517 console to stop the demo execution.
 +
 
 +
==== Running Graphics SDK OpenGL ES2.0 Demos ====
 +
* To run OpenGL ES2.x demos, perform the following:
 +
<pre>
 +
root@cm-debian:~# cd /opt/gfxsdkdemos/ogles2
 +
root@cm-debian:/opt/gfxsdkdemos/ogle2s# ./OGLESFilmTV
 +
</pre>
 +
This will execute the {{filename|OGLESFilmTV}} demo. Press {{parameter|‘q’}} on the CM-T3517 console to stop the demo
 +
execution.

Using Debian Linux on CM-T3517

Connection and Logging In

Use the following usernames and passwords to login:

Account with administrative privileges: 

User: root
Password: 111111

Regular user account: 

User: user	
Password: 111111

In addition to these accounts CM-T3517 allows anonymous FTP access. To login into the Linux system, you may use a serial console (ttyO2) at 115200 bps, or connect through the network, or use a keyboard and DVI/LCD display (tty1, tty2, tty3).

Networking

To configure networking, edit /etc/network/interfaces, /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts. For more information about Debian Linux network configuration read Network setup chapter in the Debian Reference.

Consoles

Linux file system image is designed to suit different kernel versions and configurations. Therefore, during the operating system startup, consoles at several serial ports and DVI display are enabled. Some of these devices may not be supported, either because of kernel versions incompatibilities, or because the kernel was not configured to support these devices. When the console is enabled for such a device, the following or similar message can appear on active console: 

INIT: Id "T0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

This is not an error message, it is just a warning that can be eliminated by editing /etc/inittab file.

X Windows system

CompuLab distribution contains full featured X Windows system with Fluxbox window manager. Before starting X Windows, connect USB mouse and keyboard to the system. You can run X Windows by typing startx.

Software Management

Debian Linux image for CM-T3517 includes all the information required to use Debian package management utilities. You can use apt-get and dpkg out of the box.

Audio

CM-T3517 uses the TLV320AIC23B (TI) audio codec. If the default CM-T3517 configuration is used, the audio drivers are modularized and are loaded automatically in the boot process.

Codec driver snd_soc_tlv320aic23 must be loaded before audio driver snd-soc-cm-t3517. A workaround could be adding snd-soc-cm-t3517 entry into /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base-blacklist.conf and /etc/modules.

More information about Linux audio subsystem can be found at ALSA project official website.

Touchscreen

CM-T3517 uses the TSC2046 (TI) touchscreen controller. The touchscreen driver is modularized if you use default CM-T3517 configuration and is loaded by udev automatically on Linux boot. If the touchscreen driver is not loaded, the following command will load the touchscreen driver: 

modprobe ads7846

The X Windows system of CM-T3517 uses tslib X server input driver to get the input from the touchscreen.

Touchscreen calibration

Touchscreen calibration can be performed with ts_calibrate utility available in package libts-bin. To calibrate the touchscreen:

  • Make sure X Server is not running
  • Make sure the touchscreen driver is loaded as described in Touchscreen section
  • Set the TSLIB_TSDEVICE system variable:
export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/by-path/platform-omap2_mcspi.1-event
  • Run ts_calibrate utility. For proper calibration you are required to touch the touchscreen corners and center in the following order: top-left, top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left, center. The calibration results are saved to file /etc/pointercal.
  • Use ts_test utility to test the calibration results.

MMC/SD

The support for MMC/SD card on CM-T3517 is built into the Linux kernel. To mount the memory card, monitor /proc/partitions to see what partitions were detected on the MMC/SD card. For example, suppose MMC/SD partition you'd like to mount is mmcblk0p1 then: 

if [ ! -d /mnt/mmcblk0p1 ]; then mkdir /mnt/mmcblk0p1; fi
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/mmcblk0p1

Controller–area network (CAN)

The CM-T3517 features a TI High End CAN Controller (HECC), integrated into the Sitara AM3517/05 SoC. The TI HECC implements full CAN protocol version 2.0B. It supports both the base (standard) and the extended frame format as well as a programmable data bit rate with maximum of 1Mbit/s.

Loading CAN modules

If the TI HECC driver and/or Raw CAN protocol compiled as module(s), they must be loaded prior to enabling CAN interface.

  • Load Raw CAN protocol module:
root@cm-debian:~# modprobe can-raw
can: controller area network core (rev 20090105 abi 8)
NET: Registered protocol family 29
can: raw protocol (rev 20090105)
root@cm-debian:~#
  • Load TI HECC driver module:
root@cm-debian:~# modprobe ti_hecc
CAN device driver interface
TI High End CAN Controller Driver 0.7
ti_hecc ti_hecc.1: device registered (reg_base=d0a08000, irq=24)
root@cm-debian:~#

For information on enabling CAN kernel support, please, see the Linux Kernel for CM-T3517 page.

CAN interface configuration

It is recommended configure the CAN interface, with the iproute2 utilities.

  • To make sure the right ip utility is used, run:
root@cm-debian:~# ip -V
ip utility, iproute2-ss100224
root@cm-debian:~#
  • Configure the CAN interface bit-rate to 125 Kbits/sec (values of up to 1Mbit/sec are supported):
root@cm-debian:~# ip link set can0 type can bitrate 125000
root@cm-debian:~#
  • Enable the CAN interface:
root@cm-debian:~# ip link set can0 up
ti_hecc ti_hecc.1: setting CANBTC=0xc0028
root@cm-debian:~#
Send/Receive packets

Use cansend and candump utilities to send and receive packets via CAN interface.

  • Send standard CAN frame (on the first device):
root@cm-debian:/usr/local/can-utils# cansend can0 111#1122334455667788
root@cm-debian:/usr/local/can-utils#
  • Send extended CAN frame (on the first device):
root@cm-debian:/usr/local/can-utils# cansend can0 11111111#1122334455667788
root@cm-debian:/usr/local/can-utils#
  • Dump all received data frames as well as error frames (on the second device):
root@cm-debian:/usr/local/can-utils# candump any,0:0,#FFFFFFFF
  can0  111  [8] 11 22 33 44 55 66 77 88
  can0  11111111  [8] 11 22 33 44 55 66 77 88

USB On-The-Go (OTG)

CM-T3517 features a Mentor Graphic's USB OTG2.0 high-speed USB On-The-Go (OTG) controller. CM-T3517 OTG port is USB host and USB device (gadget) capable.

Host and Gadget drivers are compiled as modules with default CM-T3517 kernel configuration. Both should be loaded for OTG support.

  • Load Host driver:
root@cm-debian:~# modprobe am35x

Display options

CM-T3517 evaluation platform has four video output interfaces: LCD, DVI, LVDS and TV-out. Default configuration of Debian Linux for CM-T3517 uses LCD as primary video output. It is possible to switch between the DVI and LCD interfaces on the fly. TV-out can be used simultaneously with LCD or DVI interface.
Linux implementation of the OMAP3 display subsystem is described in detail in Documentation/arm/OMAP/DSS file in the Linux kernel source tree.

Display resolutions

  • The Toppoly LCD supplied with CM-T3517 evaluation kit supports 480x640 resolution with 18 bits per color
  • DVI output can be configured for standard resolutions using kernel command line parameter omapfb.mode:
    1024x768 - omapfb.mode=dvi:1024x768-24@60
    800x600 - omapfb.mode=dvi:800x600-24@60
    640x480 - omapfb.mode=dvi:640x480-24@60
  • TV-out supports PAL and NTSC standards

Examples

  • Switch from LCD to DVI
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/display0/enabled
echo "dvi" > /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/manager0/display
fbset -fb /dev/fb0 -xres 1024 -yres 768
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/display1/enabled
  • Switch from DVI to LCD
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/display1/enabled
echo "lcd" > /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/manager0/display
fbset -fb /dev/fb0 -xres 480 -yres 640
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/display0/enabled

GPIO access

Linux provides simple and convenient GPIO access via sysfs interface. A GPIO should be exported using /sys/class/gpio/export. After the GPIO is exported it is possible to change its direction and value using /sys/class/gpio/gpioX/direction and /sys/class/gpio/gpioX/value attributes.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to configure GPIO 140 as output and set value to high: 

echo 140 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio140/direction
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio140/value
Admolition note.png The above example assums that the corresponding pin is set to mux mode 4 and the GPIO 140 is not requested in the Linux kernel.

Graphics SDK

The CM-T3517 Linux package contains pre-built and ready to run SGX functionality demo programs.

  • The SGX configuration script must be run on CM-T3730 before first use:
root@cm-debian:~# /etc/init.d/omap-demo
  • The SGX kernel modules must be loaded prior running the demos:
root@cm-debian:~# /etc/init.d/rc.pvr start

Running Graphics SDK OpenGL ES1.x Demos

  • To run OpenGL ES1.x demos, perform the following:
root@cm-debian:~# cd /opt/gfxsdkdemos/ogles
root@cm-debian:/opt/gfxsdkdemos/ogles# ./OGLESEvilSkull

This will execute the OGLESEvilSkull demo. Press ‘q’ on the CM-T3517 console to stop the demo execution.

Running Graphics SDK OpenGL ES2.0 Demos

  • To run OpenGL ES2.x demos, perform the following:
root@cm-debian:~# cd /opt/gfxsdkdemos/ogles2
root@cm-debian:/opt/gfxsdkdemos/ogle2s# ./OGLESFilmTV

This will execute the OGLESFilmTV demo. Press ‘q’ on the CM-T3517 console to stop the demo execution.
