Re: No HDMI on custom board, but fine on OEM dev board.

I would suggest a switch In the default position it connects the HDMI HPD to the hotplug input pin on the Raspberry Pi CM in the other position it forces HPD to CM This way you can always force hotplug (if it doesn't detect hotplug it'll use composite output anyway so you don't need a third position)

Re: No HDMI on custom board, but fine on OEM dev board.

That is correct, it should work... It is indeed a trove of knowledge, for example it allows you to hand edit the PLL settings and clock routing for the device, unfortunately this is very complex and therefore I've not tried to document everything. But if there's a specific requirement you have then ...

Re: No HDMI on custom board, but fine on OEM dev board.

You can invert the sense of the hotplug pin by adjusting it in the dt-blob.bin

You can download the default dts file from https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... t-blob.dts

Re: No "/boot/bcm2708-rpi-cm.dtb" file

What does your config.txt look like, just give us the lines that are not commented out...

Do you have any "device-tree=" line which may stop it from working

Have you added an overlay for your RTC?

Re: USB read interrupt data problem

If that is running when you're not connected then it looks like a different driver is talking to the device...

Something must be sending URBs to the device...

Are you sure you've not got a driver loaded for that device?

Re: USB read interrupt data problem

Are you testing all the return values from the libusb functions? Does it return success for each access?

Do you have access to a USB analyser? Either that or use the kernel usb analysis

Not sure, how many of these are you saying you have? Is this 3 out of 10 or 3 out of 1000?

We have it so that you can control updating from the external server, the server challenges the Slice, the Slice encrypts / signs a packet using the encryption hardware and returns to the server who can check it comes from a valid Slice. Actually all theory we've never put it into practice but it be...

There are some OTP bits that you can use for this purpose, @popcornmix will have to weigh in to describe how to program them but they should enable you to identify it.

Re: Pi PWM Audio Output - Moving the Pin

If you've changed the dt-blob.bin to move the PWM to the other set of pins then it should do this for you.

You can check using the gpiostate tool:

apt-get install raspi-gpio
