Hi Yinon,

I did something like

--------
# make PWM available
echo 0 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/export

# set period to 40µs
echo 40000 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm0/period

# set the duty cycle
echo 20000 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm0/duty_cycle

# enable the PWM
echo 1 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm0/enable
--------

Works for me...

Cheers
Markus
