All: First off, thanks to Brian Hensley and Robert Nelson for their wealth of information and support.
I am a retiree that, after a 30+ year stint building electronic/mechanical devices in the medical research field in a MS Windows centric university , thought that I would expand my horizons and decided to play with the BBxM. I am running Ubuntu 12.04 and have gotten to the point where I am ready to try and compile a u-boot.img in order to set the pinmux values. I have downloaded and ran the TI Pinmux utility and have made the mux.h and pinmux.h files. I have the u-boot source file from denx.de and have expanded it and have found the board/ti/beagle and evm subdirectories. I have read a lot of stuff on the internet but since things change daily I want to check on several things. Bear with me if I am asking obvious questions but I am still learning to get around in the linux environment and I have seen conflicting info in various posts. 1. Where in the tree do these files go? Do I need to make changes to evm.h? 2. I have the spidev working that RCN made available via the uEnv.txt change uncommenting buddy = spidev. Will my changes to the pinmux affect this. i.e Do I have to set the SPI3 and SPI 4 pins as well as the I2C pins in the utility? 3. Should I assume that the baseline that is given by the pinmux utility sets all of the proper pads for the correct functioning of the BBxM? 4. Am I going dangerously wrong in any of this??? Have I missed anything? I bought 3 BBxMs off of eBay and gave one to my buddy that just retired as Director of IT at the university where I worked. I had Ubuntu and lxde already running on the BB. I told him the first one is free - just like crack, and yes he is addicted.
