Xilinx CPLD Raspberry Pi sysfsgpio alternative?

Post by imperious »

I spent most of last night on this and eventually found out that the sysfsgpio cable has been removed from the relevant
file, xc3sprog.cpp in the latest update.

The error I get is basically that there is no sysfsgpio cable.

Following these instructions https://github.com/terriblefire/tf530/w ... spberry-Pi
and that led me to https://github.com/matrix-io/xc3sprog.

The question, which hopefully someone has an answer to, is there an alternative? or do I have to stuff about and remake the old
version. I am a bit of a noob when it comes to this stuff, but can usually sort everything out in the end.

I checked. Sysfs_gpio is still there all through the code... did you compile it correctly? have the correct libraries installed (wiringpi.h etc)

Thankyou very much for the replies, I have figured it out (I think)

sysfsgpio has been renamed to sysfsgpio_creator

I entered the following and both cpld's found

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo xc3sprog -c sysfsgpio_creator
XC3SPROG (c) 2004-2011 xc3sprog project $Rev: 774 $ OS: Linux

UPDATE - All appear to be programmed - will test tomorrow night hopefully on my Amiga after I get back from a Lan day at a friends.

I did program cplds using sysfsgpio_creator and it appears to take it and verify, so I guess they just renamed it.
There is another one sysfsgpio_voice or something? I think this is the reason for change.
