GPIO connection with any external I/O pins for ADRV1CRR FMC Carrier Board

Hi,

Could you give us more details regarding what exactly you want to make available at the outputs of the design?

Best regards,

Hi Hatem ,

Do you have any updates?

Hi, 

Sorry for late reply No I don't have updates yet. Actually, the concept was to interconnect and control with external power amplifier and switch selector to extend the coverage range of antennas.

So, the idea was to provide this via the IN/OUT GPIO pins of the BOB carrier, where the ADRV1CRR-BOB carrier provides 162 user I/O pins for easy access to the SOM I/O. I was wondering If this option is also available via the ADRV1CRR-FMC carrier. Either through the FMC mezzanine card or on-board switches. If so, the question was what are tcl files should I update to do such connection on project building.

I've one more question related to passing long input variables via python script into the ARM cortex A9 processor. Regularly I use the one of the SPI 32 registers to send data using command reg_write(0x800000BC, digital_value). Now I need to send a key of 256 bits is their a way to use multiple registers instead of splitting the value into 8 subsequent writes.

Thanks in advance for your care to follow my progress status.

Regards,

Hatem

Yes, it should be.

This is a broad subject, but I'll try to say it as shortly as possible: Tcl is a scripting language and it is integrated in the Xilinx tool env. We use it also because we want to have as little interaction as possible with the GUI, to make things faster, and to be able to track the changes done in each project. All in all, to quote Xilinx, "it is a standard language in the semiconductor industry". If you want to know more about this, please go through their documentation.

With this, I am sorry but I do not have the knowledge to help you. You should ask in the Linux Software Drivers forum.
