David Melara Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Hello dear mates, first I want to thank zador.blood.stained for helping out with recompiling the DTB for A20 so we can enable PWM on Armbian. Link to his post :https://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/1817-using-pwm-without-rebuilding-kernel/ Now I'm seeking your help with this problem, after I added this code to the A20.dts file (I'm on a PCduino3 nano) &pwm { pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&pwm0_pins_a>, <&pwm1_pins_a>; status = "okay"; }; I'm able to compile the .dtb file, and after booting I can see the pwmchip0 on /sys/class/pwm. I can change the values for Polarity, Period, Duty_Cycle, Enable. The problem is, when I boot the PCduino, PWM0 and PWM1 Pins are Output High, I mean, if I connect a led to those pins they will turn on. Moreover, if I change the Period and then enable the pwm pin, even with "duty_cycle" as "0" it will keep being "HIGH", to make a normal use of any of this PWM pins, I need to set the polarity to "inverse" and then return to "normal", when doing this, PWM will go "LOW" because of the "0 = Duty_Cycle" and then proceed to works as a PWM will normally work, does anybody knows how to fix this? would be a great help, i've spent more than a day figuring out how to resolve this, but no luck. Thanks for your help and time.
