PCA9685 PWM driver is broken

[tbursztyka]

It misses the API function get_cycles_per_sec() which is mandatory to get pwm.h public function to work.

So currently this driver just does not work at all due to that.

@tbursztyka I think this driver was added for an x86 platform that we have since removed. Are you wanting to use this on some other board? Curious how you are hitting this.

[tbursztyka]

@galak PCA9685 is an i2c slave device. There is no board using it yet, but what about zephyr user that would wire such device on a board?
Hitting it is easy: just reading the driver code.

There are expansion boards with PCA9685, for example https://www.adafruit.com/product/815

Hi,
is there any example code for https://www.adafruit.com/product/815?

Thanks

Hi @vagotec if an overlay was written for the PCA9685 the following sample could be used:
