Personally I found the documentation on the web counter intuitive though. I felt it was holding me back. So one day I just dove in, and everything started making sense. Granted at that point I had 3+ years hands on with the hardware. A little here, and there. If you've been programming for any amount of time, reading through an overlay while you may not know specific details, should make sense. In fact, if you toss a device tree file into an editor with syntax highlighting, and select C as the language. You get syntax highlighting too ;) Anyway, there is a document by Panto, and Tom King in PDF format called something like " kernel 3.8 and device tree". Should come up in the top of a google search list. IN fact: http://elinux.org/BeagleBone_and_the_3.8_Kernel Just keep in mind that there would be some differences for the newer kernels . . . but the gist should be nearly the same. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
