Hello,
PWM on Beaglebone Black
during my laboratory tests I was not able to setup a frequency suitable for servo motors.
I tried several times with many values but the results was always the same.
The minimal frequency I was able to achieve was 1.52 KHz.
Also, I noticed odd results with the most of configuration values, in this case
I lost the PWM output signal.
I tried some combinations, measuring the results with an oscilloscope, the period
configuration key appears to loose its nanoseconds meaning beyond a value:
# sysctl dev.am335x_pwm.1.period=1500
# sysctl dev.am335x_pwm.1.dutyA=300
result frequency: 66 KHz ->should be 666 KHz
length of period: 15 us ->should be 1.5 us
length of pulse: 2 us
# sysctl dev.am335x_pwm.1.period=1500000
# sysctl dev.am335x_pwm.1.dutyA=10000
result frequency: 1.71 KHz -> should be 666Hz
length of period: 585 us
length of pulse: 100 us
# sysctl dev.am335x_pwm.1.period=1800000
# sysctl dev.am335x_pwm.1.dutyA=10000
result frequency: 3.24 KHz -> should be 555Hz
length of period: 308 us
length of pulse: 100 us
the testing platform:
