That bit about only being able to mux a specific mode's signal (e.g. I2C2_SDA or I2C2_SCL) to one pin at a time is the clincher. I didn't feel it vital to state in my intro post but turning off the default I2C2 bus pins would mean losing the Seeed I2C2 Grove connector (which is connected to P9-19 and 20) on the BeagleBone Green. Since that port is also in use for my demos, a software solution is just not in the cards for working around my poor design decision.
I'll brush up on my PCB rework skills as you discussed and push forward with the intent to come back to learning about the BeagleBone's device tree system at a later date. Thanks for your help, Graham and wish me luck! -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
