GPIO as PPS pin in linux with the UltraZed-EG board

sigvartmh
sigvartmh over 7 years ago
 

I have the UltraZed-EG board and I want to use one of the GPIO as a PPS input pin. So I wonder how I should proceed in achieving this.

 

The PPS signal could either be a pulse on a GPIO pin or an RS232 signal so either ways are fine by me but I tought GPIO would be easiest to achive.

 

 

 

Like should I modify the Device Three like this Device-Tree Bindings for a PPS Signal on GPIO

 

or should I do something in vivado, generate a new .hdf file, FSBL and Device Three?

 

Or will I have to add something in the board support package like described here
  
   Any tips or advice will be highly appreciated.

Not sure if should go here or under software application.

    Hi,

    If the current HDF file does not have any GPIO enabed you will need to go back and modify the HDF. In turn you will then need to adjust the device tree accordingly.

    Well I guess it has the dip switches and leds enabled, from what I can see the GPIO seems enabled but I'm quite new to this whole setup.image

    Do I have to create a seperate AXI GPIO controller or do you have other suggestions?
