IO pin configuration of Beaglebone Black

Hi,

I like to configure the HAL of LinuxCNC to run with my IO cape for the BeagleBone black.

Unfortunately my cape is not pin compatible to any of the capes in the machinekit image of Charles Steinkühler.
I thought I could use an existing HAL driver an only modify the IO Pins, but this is not as easy as I thought it would be.

My problem is, that I do not understand the entries in the HAL configuration file.

For example the following lines:

# P8.12 GPIO1_12
setp [PRUCONF](DRIVER).stepgen.00.steppin 0x4C

Obviously the command line connects the steppin of the axis to the port P8.12 of the beaglebone.
What I do not understand is, where the 0x4C is comming from. It does not correspond to any of the information I have about the beaglebone.

What to I have to do, if I like to change the port to another GPIO and which number I have to enter instead of 0x4C?

Any information is appreciated.

Hi,

I think you might find out answer of your question the following group.

Hi,

If you look at this spreadsheet:

github.com/cdsteinkuehler/beaglebone-bla...u_generic/pinmux.ods

you will see a heading labeled:

hal_pru_generic GPIO pin number

the number in that column is the number (in decimal) you are referring to. For example:

P8.12 has a 76 (decimal) which is hexadecimal 0x4C
