I am trying to build an application on the Beaglebone Black and I have two semi-requirements. One is that I have to use the DS18B20 onewire temperature sensor. I will look at others like it, but I have many of these and they are setup for this project. The other requirement is that the application has a windowed interface. It can either be in qt or in java, or any other suggestion someone might have.
I have tried the images with the 3.14 kernel and lxqt as the window environment and it seems like this would work well. The problem is I can't seem to find a way to make the temperature sensors work in the newer kernels. Everything I can find to make this sensor work uses the cape manager and the images I have use the universal overlay. I have even had people tell me that the sensor doesn't have a driver for the newer kernels and I'm wasting my time. I've looked at memory mapped solutions, most use the capemanager, but I wiould still need to write the one wire protocol and I don't think I'm up for that. I either have to go back to the older kernels that support the cape manager overlay to use the sensors. I'm stuck with finding a windowed environment in the older kernel. Or I have to find a way to access the sensors, or another sensor in the new kernels. Any guidance would be very helpful. Thanks. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
