I am not sure what you mean with "to disable the buffer before until you come up". Directly connect the Beagle SYS_RESETn pin to the pin 29 of the Atmega`s?
What would be the positive effect by using the SYS_5V. I think it is directly connected to the Beagle DC plug. So, it can drive more current? Two more ideas: * would it be helpful to add a 0,1µF capacitor to the beagle voltage supply pins on the header, between VDD_3v3 and Gnd very close to the beagle headers? * would it be better to completely supply my cape from SYS_5V and create the 3v for the Atmegas and the other components on the cape with the MCP1703?
