Or anyone who sells said products. I am just your average community member, whose been using the beaglebone products since it's release date Second, I never said I was ignoring anyone. Third, you're delving into territory that myself, and most others have not gone into. So if someone does say they're ignoring you, it could very well be that they have not done what you're doing, and do not want to give you incorrect information. Lastly, be more verbose with your information. Just saying "wont work for us" doesn't tell us what the underlying problem is, or how to help you solve your issue. So . .. tell us EXACTLY what you've done, and EXACTLY the errors your experiencing. Then perhaps, if you're verbose enough, someone on this list can help you. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
