Revolution Pi RevPi Core3 #59
Comments
It seems that, in order to have this fully functioning we need a -rt patched kernel and custom drivers from kunbus. They are all available in their github repo over here https://github.com/RevolutionPi On the other hand, in order to just boot it, perhaps one can try the raspi3 image... Should start right up, but we need support for the modules, that is what really make this particular HW stand out from the crowd. |
We're looking at Kunbus, would be great to see Resin support for it. |
For the RevPi Core 3 Module it's no problem to boot a standard Raspberry Pi 3 ResinOS-Image, since this is just a Compute Module 3 with a Base-Board ... We have however tried to patch the Kernel and used an example of the Resin-Io-Playground on how to build Kernel Extensions. Problem however is that there is a driver needed for a MAX3x-IC which Kunbus uses for their IO-Modules. Kunbus has provided that driver and it's now part of the regular Linux Kernel. Unfortunately just in 4.15. See -> https://www.spinics.net/lists/devicetree/msg191469.html We tried to build a custom Yocto BSP with an updated Kernel. But ResinOS / Yocto somehow is still using 4.9 / 4.14 - Called Rocko and Sumo So we have to wait until there is a 4.15 based Yocto! Once there is - we will build a solution and open-source it ... We'll let you know! |
Thank you for this update @simmikolon - we will follow up with the folks at Kunbus to see if we can get a 4.15 based version of their OS. We very much appreciate your effort! |
Looking at Kunbus also. Would be awesome to have it running on Resin |
@jgentes I've seen an official announcement that ResinIO now supports the Kubus modules "officially" - does that mean you have updated your Yocto base system? |
@simmikolon we're testing the new version now. It has been working fine with the 12.x version of Resin OS, but this new version is expected to provide support for their expanded modules, such as Digital IO. |
It would be very interesting to have RevPi Core3 with their IO modules supported on Resin OS!!! |
This board is currently supported and the DIO module works too |
For those trying to get it running, it's worth noting:

Hey @jgentes - I see the following update here: @spanceac wrote:

Hey @spanceac have you really been able to deploy a service that can interact with the DIO module? Can you share something about that? |
