Hey everyone,
I have installed a custom OS on my AutoPi device for my Master’s thesis and am having some problems setting it up. We thought to use AutoPi because of its wealth of hardware capabilities (GPS, LTE, Accelerometer, CAN, etc).
My AutoPi board gets disconnected after 10 minutes, something I traced by scouring this forum to the SPM on the board not receiving a heartbeat to keep it alive. I managed to create some Python scripts copied from the AutoPi-Core software to mimic the SPM Manager and send a heartbeat to the GPIO pins. My code is located here.
In my code, I have assumed that my SPM firmware is version 1, not 2. In all honesty, I am not really sure what version my SPM is. However, additional libraries would need to be installed on my Linux OS in order to make the code for SPM 2.0 work so I’m just hoping it is v1. Thus, I am using the GPIOSPIConn class to communicate with the GPIO pins.
In GPIOSPIConn.setup(), a 0 byte is sent to the MOSI pin and a 0 byte is expected back from the MISO pin. Currently, I am doing that but receiving a 255 byte back, all ones. In fact, all calls to GPIOSPIConn.recv() return 255.
I need to the MISO pin to return the proper Acks and I need the MOSI to send heartbeats!
Any help would be appreciated!
Problem-specific information:
The following is my environment:
Device: AutoPi Telematics Unit - 4G/LTE Edition
Board: Raspberry Pi 4 B+, 2GB
Operating system: Automotive Grade Linux (10.0.1)
