Hi Guys

Firstly I am very new to this forum and also to linux. I have recently bought a single board computer for a university project, which you can see here...

http://www.glomationinc.com/product_9260.html

The main chip on board is an ARM9 core (AT91SAM9260) and the board has a linux kernel pre-installed with a debian style filesystem on board. At least this is what I think is on there. I am able to navigate round the filesystem like any other linux command based system i have seen.

Basically I have so far managed to upgrade my kernel, which was preinstalled on the board (v2.6.27) and it is now 2.6.30, which includes the GPIO driver.
I can now enable GPIO pins by writing to the files that contain text indicating whether the pin is an input/output and whether it is high/low and these files talk to the hardware to control the pins. However I would now like to try and enable ADC inputs and PWM outputs, but don't really know where to start.

Would these features work in a similar way or would I need to write drivers/are current drivers available?

I am a complete newbie to linux and so any help would be greatly appreciated as I am at a bit of a dead end with this.

Thanks

Tom

Have a look at this thread:http://www.at91.com/forum/viewtopic.php/f,12/t,4992/ for a Linux 9260 ADC driver. Haven't tried it beyond compiling myself, still on the todo list.
