| − | == Customized kernel ==
| |
| − | * Based on 2.6.28 kernel with patches from Ubuntu and Compulab.
| |
| − | * Supports most features present on the SB-iAM development board and CM-iAM module.
| |
| − | * Described in more detail on the [[Linux Kernel for CM-iAM|Linux kernel for CM-iAM]] page.
| |
| − | == Graphic support ==
| |
| − | * Intel Poulsbo chipset using GMA500 graphic module from PowerVR.
| |
| − | * Graphic drivers taken from [https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mobile/+archive/ppa PPA for Ubuntu Mobile Team], slightly patched and re-organized.
| |
| − | {{Note|The current state of graphic drivers for GMA500 may be called ''alpha version''. They are not included in any official Linux distribution yet. There are still a couple of technical issues to be fixed.}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Mplayer ==
| |
| − | The GMA500 graphic module provides support for hardware decoding of most popular video codecs. The well-known MPlayer media player is patched for this purpose and supports the following codecs:
| |
| − | * MPEG-2
| |
| − | * MPEG-4 ASP (DivX)
| |
| − | * H.263 (MPEG-4 short-video header variant)
| |
| − | * MPEG-4 AVC (H.264)
| |
| − | * Windows Media Video 9 (WMV3)
| |
| − | * Windows Media Video 9 Advanced (VC-1 Advanced profile)
| |
| − | {{Note|Non-accelerated decoding is currently not supported with the vaapi renderer.}}

| − | == GPIO’s ==
| |
| − | The SB-iAM board from Compulab contains 8 or 15 general purpose I/O pins (GPIO’s) depending on assembly configuration. The CM-iAM provides 8 general purpose I/O pins (GPIO’s) from the Poulsbo chipset, 7 of which are dedicated and one is shared with alternate functionality, with different power domain support.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Seven additional GPIO’s are available from IT8761E super I/O chip when option S (SIO) is assembled. The kernel driver supposes the following pin naming convention:

| − | The GPIO sysfs interface allows users to manipulate any GPIO from userspace (also known as programmable flags). Since it uses gpiolib, it is able to dynamically utilize all GPIO's on the system.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Userspace utilizes a sysfs control interface to dynamically request and release individual GPIO's. Once a GPIO has been requested, writing to the newly created path allows you to control the direction and the data while reading from it returns the GPIO data (which usually corresponds to a 0 or 1 representing the signal level).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Basic example of GPIO usage:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | root@sb-iam:/ echo 3 > /sys/class/gpio/export
| |
| − | root@sb-iam:/ echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio3/direction
| |
| − | root@sb-iam:/ echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio3/value
| |
| − | ## at this point CM-iAM ON LED should be in off-state.
| |
| − | root@sb-iam:/ echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio3/value
| |
| − | ## at this point CM-iAM ON LED should be in on-state again.
| |
| − | root@sb-iam:/ echo 3 > /sys/class/gpio/unexport
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | The GPIO framework and GPIO sysfs interface are both documented in [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/gpio.txt Linux Kernel Documentation :: GPIO]

| − | == Watchdog ==
| |
| − | The CM-iAM provides watchdog functionality. It is possible to enable a watchdog timer either from BIOS (F2) or from the running Linux. The CM-iAM watchdog has an operating range between 31 and 255 seconds. The range is defined by the "Watchdog Timer Value" in the BIOS or by a margin parameter of the watchdog driver. Entering BIOS setup temporarily disables watchdog operation regardless of the current state; therefore, the system will not be restarted during an interactive BIOS session. Once the watchdog has been enabled, the system will be restarted every "Watchdog Timer Value" period, unless watchdog timer is reset or disabled by the software. The driver can be loaded by the ''modprobe cm-iam-wdt'' command.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Basic example of watchdog usage:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | #include <stdio.h>
| |
| − | #include <stdlib.h>
| |
| − | #include <unistd.h>
| |
| − | #include <fcntl.h>
| |
| − | | |
| − | int main(void)
| |
| − | {
| |
| − | int fd = open("/dev/watchdog", O_WRONLY);
| |
| − | int ret = 0;
| |
| − | if (fd == -1) {
| |
| − | perror("watchdog");
| |
| − | exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
| |
| − | }
| |
| − | while (1) {
| |
| − | ret = write(fd, "\0", 1);
| |
| − | if (ret != 1) {
| |
| − | ret = -1;
| |
| − | break;
| |
| − | }
| |
| − | sleep(10);
| |
| − | }
| |
| − | close(fd);
| |
| − | return ret;
| |
| − | }
| |
| − | </pre>

| − | == Sound ==
| |
| − | There are two sound cards available in the evaluation kit, one on the core module CM-iAM and another on the SB-iAM baseboard. Current Linux drivers allow only one of the two cards to be active at any given time. The ''/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf'' file is responsible for choosing which card will be active.
| |
| − | * To use the CM-iAM sound card, add this line to ''/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf'':
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=0x1 model=ref
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | * To use the SB-iAM sound card, add this line to ''/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf'':
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=0x2 model=ref
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{Note|Switching between sound cards requires a system reboot.}}
| |
| − | {{Note|The sound capturing channel on each card is permanent -- it's impossible to choose the capturing source. The CM-iAM sound card takes input from CORE-LINE-IN (P29 connector), while the SB-iAM sound card takes input from BASE-LINE-IN-C (P21 connector).}}
