Thanks for your Answer Brandon Just a few questions for my Information: - If I used the EMMC pins I would need to boot from SD Card everytime? - And if I used the HMDI Pins it wouldn't be possible to connect the uHdmi Cable to the bbb and connect some screen to it? Because they are connected to the same pins?
The way you unallocated the pins and the way john recommend me to unallocate the pins seem to be very different. To be honest I don't understand the difference of the two ways. Which way is the easier one and can this way be used to unallocate every pin on the bbb? I just wan't to make things trickier than they are :-) But i'm very thankful for your help so far ;-) Am Mittwoch, 3.
