**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Dec 06 02:59:57 2021 Dec 06 09:19:17 Question about the device tree and how linux initializes pheripherals. Dec 06 09:22:58 all the peripheral nodes in the device tree have a property status which you can be set to "okay" to enable them but are by default "disabled" from what i see in am35xx.dtsi Dec 06 09:23:23 what does it meen if it says "disabled" does linux not initialize that pheripheral at all? is it totally left alone ? Dec 06 12:36:25 Tristate Driver! Dec 06 12:36:40 I am learnin' again! Dec 06 12:41:24 Full Adder! I am starting to remember things again. Nice! Dec 06 12:56:50 Hello...would I need to learn assembly to handle the ARM M(n) on the BBAI? Dec 06 13:02:22 and... Dec 06 13:02:55 If so, would i need to compile a specific set of instructions to the ROM on the M(n) on the BBAI? Dec 06 13:13:00 Daulity: status="disabled"; causes linux to basically pretend that device node doesn't exist Dec 06 13:14:44 or more generally, if a status property is present and not equal to "okay" Dec 06 19:43:37 GenTooMan: Are you messing w/ the M(n) on the BBAI? I know one is dedicated to a specific use but there is another one! Dec 07 02:30:43 set_, not really things are a bit of a mess at the moment for me :D Dec 07 02:45:30 oh. Okay. I am just getting back and you are not okay. What is wrong? Does the BBB got you down? Dec 07 02:45:45 You got the BBBlues? Dec 07 02:45:59 All jokes aside, okay. I understand. Dec 07 02:46:12 sometimes things just are completely $*%&. Dec 07 02:47:35 I got this M4 source runnin'. But...not on the AI yet. It is a start on another board w/ a M4. Dec 07 02:48:11 I am using just the MCU right now w/out having access to the ARM am5729 on the AI, i.e. if that is even needed. Dec 07 02:48:46 Linux has processes, i.e. so this would be nice. I could use baremetal w/ a Linux Distro! Dec 07 02:49:31 Learnin' awaits... Dec 07 02:49:51 I think the main issue is this... Dec 07 02:50:08 How would i install the binary of the executable on the M4 on the AI? Dec 07 02:50:51 You know what I am thinking? I am thinking that there is a specific set of commands to install this binary file to the M4 via the am5729. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Dec 07 02:59:56 2021
