How to use the PWM on debian?

Hi, ALL.

Written about the PWM in section “5 Low Speed expansion connector” of “Hardware Manual Bubblegum 96”.
https://github.com/uCRDev/documentation/blob/master/ConsumerEdition/Bubblegum-96/AdditionalDocs/HardwareManual_Bubblegum96_S900_V1.1.pdf

Will can use from Debian?
If can be used, I want to know how to use.

Current situation is as follows:

root@linaro-alip:~# uname -a
Linux linaro-alip 3.10.52-linaro-bubblegum #22 SMP PREEMPT Fri Apr 15 11:21:43 CST 2016 aarch64 GNU/Linux

“pwm” is not in /sys/class directory.

root@linaro-alip:~# ls /sys/class/
adf dvb input owl_panel scsi_disk udc
backlight firmware lcd power_supply scsi_host vc
bdi gpio leds ppp sound video4linux
block graphics mdio_bus rc spi_master vtconsole
bluetooth hidraw mem regulator switch xt_idletimer
bsg hwmon misc rfkill thermal
dma i2c-adapter mmc_host rtc timed_output
drm ieee80211 net scsi_device tty
root@linaro-alip:~#

But, /sys/devices directory is a “e01b0000.pwm”.

I feel PWM is can use.

Thanks!

There is a PWM driver for the bubblegum-96 (originally intended to control the backlight) which might work on the LS connector (I’ve not got any idea what pins it is connected to on the SoC).

However the kernel used on this board (derived from v3.10) does not provide access to the PWM from userspace. To gain access to it you will would need to backport the kernel patches that provide the PWM sysfs interface. See pwm: add sysfs interface [LWN.net] .

Hi, danielt.

Thanks for reply.
I will try the method taught.
