1-wire

From Gumstix User Wiki

1-wire ?

1-wire functionality/module is turned off by default.

Based on this wiki resource and other discussion forums, it looks like nobody has succeeded to make it work till now. Please, contribute, if you did!

How It Works

(TBD)

Making Modifications

U-Boot needs to be modified. Currently all the GPIO multiplexing for the Overo's is being done by the bootloader U-Boot, so the conventional way to modify the pin muxing is to edit overo.h and rebuild U-Boot.

You can also change the mux configuration from within Linux. One simple approach is to do it from userspace accessing /dev/mem. A program devmem2 is part of the omap3-console-image and will work. See the remuxing example below.

GPIO Software for the Overo

Dave Hylands has written several software packages to facilitate GPIO programming on the Overos.

GPIO Event Driver allows multiple GPIO lines to be monitored from user-space.

User GPIO Driver is a reflection of the kernel's gpiolib API into user space.
