Intel(R) MinnowBoard Max / MinnowBoard Turbot {#minnowmax}

MinnowBoard MAX is an open hardware embedded board designed with the Intel(R) Atom(TM) E38xx series SOC (formely Bay Trail). The MinnowBoard Turbot is a backward compatible revision with performance and hardware improvements. https://www.minnowboard.org/learn-more/minnowboard-max-compatible-with-upgrades

For product overview and faq see https://www.minnowboard.org/faq

For technical details see https://www.minnowboard.org/board-viewer or the legacy board https://www.minnowboard.org/minnowboard-max

Supported Firmware

MRAA has only been tested with 64 bit firmware version 0.73 or later.

SPI

For SPI support you need to load the low_speed_spidev kernel module and that will create the /dev/spidev0.0 device node. MRAA only knows about this one SPI bus and no other.

Interface notes

The low speed I/O connector supported as per table below. This assumes default BIOS settings, as they are not dynamcially detected If any changes are mode (Device Manager -> System Setup -> South Cluster -> LPSS & CSS) them MRAA calls will not behave as expected.

The platform is chardev capable on newer kernels.

Documentation shows i2c on bus #5, ACPI shows it on bus #6, but driver uses bus #7.

*(tb) New assignment on the MinnowBoard Turbot ** On 3.18+ kernels, sysfs GPIO numbers are computed using: new_value = old_value | 0x100

User LED

The MinnowBoard Turbot has one user programmable built-in LED. This is exposed as a GPIO from MRAA.
