I have not looked into that personally, because I do not own either one. But assuming that were fact, I'd probably try using the BBBW wireless board overlay. Because I do have hands on using the same overlay you mentioned in your first post, on several beaglebone greens. The reason why it works, is that the beaglebone green has no HDMI framer, and that overlay disables HDMI video, and audio. So I'd probably try to compile the BBBW overlay https://github.com/RobertCNelson/dtb-rebuilder/blob/4.4-ti/src/arm/am335x-boneblack-wireless-emmc-overlay.dts and see if it worked. You'd need git installed, then just git clone that whole repo( not just that one file ), then . . . cd into the working directory make make install To test it. If I had a BBGW wireless I'd test it myself before hand. But I don't . . . Also keep in mind that I'm not 100% sure that overlay won't damage your board, but I really do not see how it could . . . which is why I'd dive right in myself if I had the hardware in hand. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
