    Accessing GPIO on PC Engines APU.3B4

    I'm trying to use GPIO functionality provided by nct5104d chip on the APU board. I have installed FreeBSD 11 with nctgpio and gpiobus modules loaded. However, when I'm trying to run gpioctl, I'm getting an error message, and no GPIO device exists in /dev: root@apu-freebsd:/usr/home/conveyor #...

    RPi GPIO mapping for gpioctl

    Hi! I use RPi B (early release) and FreeBSD 11.1. I use gpioctl to see GPIO pin states and I see, that GPIO pin 6 has OUT state and 1 on it value. According to this - http://elinux.org/RPi_Low-level_peripherals#P1_Header_pinout.2C_top_row GPIO 6 is the ground pin. How it's possible? Or my...

    GPIO cards (lab-cards, relay-cards) and FreeBSD

    Greetings, Colleagues! Tell me, please, what I/O cards with GPIO-like contacts are supported by FreeBSD. They are also called binary I/O cards, relay-cards, lab-cards, and so on. As a rule, they are used in science, in the management of industrial systems, in different monitoring complexes...

    Zoneminder status with Arecont Cameras

    I was wondering how well the zoneminder port works? What is a reasonable amount of cameras it can support? I am using Arecont cameras 5MP with the Arecont Windows software and I want to make the switch to FreeBSD. I have one installation with 8 cameras and one with 12. I have a couple at home...

    SunFounder Basic Sensor Kit for Raspberry Pi

    A couple of years ago, I bought the SunFounder Basic Sensor Kit for Raspberry Pi which includes sample source code for various projects. It is obviously geared towards Linux, but should I expect to be able to compile some of the examples on FreeBSD?

    RaspBSD projects?

    Is there anything like a list of projects that can be attempted using FreeBSD on an RPi? I'd like to know how to do simple things like switch lights on and off for a start. I do have a PiFace Digital board - (that's version 1), but I've never really done anything with it, not understanding...

    APU3 GPIO Details

    Got a APU3 from PCEngines directly. Testing the GPIO to see if they used the same GPIO chip and base address as the APU1C. I loaded the module and it looks good. Working GPIO on another amd64 platform. kldload nctgpio or /boot/loader.conf nctgpio_load="YES" root@APU3:~ # sysctl -a | grep 'gpio'...

    Web Frameworks

    Looking to learn a web frameworks. I want opinions on what to use. Today I bought some books on python. I want lightweight for embedded usage and I am leaning toward Pyramid. A fellow user here showed a nice Ajax and Python interface that impressed me.. So many choices even within the python...

    Other sysctl ow_temp in a GTKwindow

    I have some Dallas One Wire Temperature Modules that present a sysctl interface that I would like to display in a GTKwindow on a RaspPi2. Looking around I found this function: sysctlbyname() which seems to fit the bill for dev.ow_temp. I am finding few examples but this seems the best but is 10...

    One Wire Temp Sensor

    Been looking at tutorials and source for One Wire gpio and I am wondering if anybody else is using this work? I bought a dozen DS18B20 temp sensors to mess with. The source notes for /sys/dev/ow/owll_if.m has to be the most elaborate source documentation ever. Bravo Warner Losh

    Library Question

    I am interested in this GPIO Library. Stupid question. I can't read code yet. What language is the example using. https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=gpio&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+11-current&arch=default&format=html

    FreeBSD for DAQ on tiny computing boards?

    In the moment I got some Data Acquisition Installations running FreeBSD 11 on Intel Atom boards using National Instruments PCI boards for A/D, D/A and DIO. I am looking for alternatives which would be less expensive and perhaps somewhat smaller in size, so I could eventually embed the computing...

    16 GPIO pins on the APU1

    Support was added to FreeBSD 11 for an x86 boards GPIO pins. PC Engines -APU1 using the Nuvoton NCT5104D with a driver named nctgpio.c I could not find instructions so here is what is needed: kldload nctgpio or nctgpio_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf To check pin status: gpioctl -lv To set...

    Baytrail GPIO

    Gonzo has added Baytrail GPIO support. This guy is truly a code master. https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/dev/gpio/bytgpio.c?view=markup&pathrev=308295 This has been tested on the Turbot and should work with Intel Baytrail platforms that breakout the SOC GPIO's. This has truly elevated...

    Best BSD Dev Board?

    Hi guys. I just wanted to get your opinion on the best dev board to run FreeBSD on. I have a project I'm working on where I pretty much just need GPIO, (wired) networking, and the ability to run a Java program. My boss bought me a couple of Raspberry Pi 3Bs, but I can't seem to get anything...

    GPIO driver

    I started work on a GPIO driver and got it roughed in. Aiming for SCH3114 on Advantech boards. Figures, I find this similar Nuvotron driver after I guessed my way through alot. It is nice to see the proper way to proceed for review: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=207405 So...

    GPIO setup on x86

    Howdy, I am wanting to learn GPIO's on FreeBSD and I need advice on hardware. I have 3 platforms that have advertised GPIO's for I/O use. MinnowboardMax Turbot, Advantech PCM9362 and Nexcom VTC1000. None seem to have a working GPIO found. I have searched the forum here and looked at the docs...
