Re: Performance difference on PI2

Are you using the same kernel on both Pi's? (ie. has Raspbian on the B been updated etc.) Are you "exporting" GPIO pins - if so this thread may be relevant: http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=99113 Trev. Thanks but i guess it is not the issue on my application. I wrote it in c a...

Performance difference on PI2

Hi, I made an application compiled on gcc 4.7. It was made for raspbian 2013.09 (somewhere around this date) installed on RPi B. The application uses I2C, UART, some GPIO. Today i tried to run it on The RPi2 (latest raspbian 2015.01.31). I made some small changes related to DT(device tree) and gpio ...

Re: I2c in Raspbian 2015-01-30 on Pi B+

Are the GPIO also disabled by default?

The application i have usues also the GPIO but it doesn't seem to work.
I suspect that it can be the same issue here. Where i can enable the GPIO?

Is UART also changed?

It seems that i was inactive too long time in the raspberrys development.

I2c in Raspbian 2015-01-30 on Pi B+

Hi, I just downloaded the latest Raspbian 2015-01-30 and wanted to run my application which utilizes i2c on Raspberry Pi B+ But there is no I2c device and there is no /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf file.

Re: What to remove to minimize Raspbian (no xserver)

Great! Thanks DeanC

I will have to try it. 656MB is really great result.!
It's a pity that creators of raspbian don't make any minimal images which just boot and allow installation of everything else what is in raspbian full.

Re: Using PIN17 as UART RTS / alternative GPIO functions

In my understanding hardware flow control was automatic (no software/kernel involving) setting and clearing the RTS line which should be connected to DE pin in RS485 converter chip. When data is being sent RTS should be high, otherwise low. And if you look at the specification of the MAX348x there i...

Hi I have exactly the same problem. I enable the CTSEN in CR register of the UART. I change the function of GPIO17 to ALT3. I check once more if the values are there and i transmit from uart. The TX signal is there but no change of the pin17 (checked with oscilloscope). However if i clear the RTS bi...

UART/RS485 problem with DE signal

Hi I'm interfacing from UART to RS485 converter. The biggest issue is that to use such IC UART/RS485 converter it's necessary to use one GPIO pin to choose direction for the IC. So i have one pin GPIO17 which i do TX_EN (high) or RX_EN(low). The the IC is able to transmit or listen via the halfduple...

Re: Uart problem on Baudrates higher than 38400

I started to diagnose the problem a bit more precisely: 1. When i place jumper between TX and RX pin i receive exactly the same message i send. No garbage. 2. I connected an oscilloscope to the TX pin of raspberry PI and the diagnosed that the baudrate is changing is correct for 9600, 19200 and 3840...
