Re: [beagleboard] Disable Display Cape and use HDMI
Hi Robert, Thank you very much for your quick response! So I've tried overriding the cape with SPI and at first didn't have success. What did the job for me was looking for the "HDMI Cape" in /lib/firmware. So I edited my /boot/uEnv.txt to this: uboot_oberlay_addr0=/lib/firmware/BB-HDMI-TDA998x-00A0.dtbo uboot_oberlay_addr1=/lib/firmware/BB-SPIDEV0-00A0.dtbo uboot_oberlay_addr2=/lib/firmware/BB-SPIDEV0-00A0.dtbo uboot_oberlay_addr3=/lib/firmware/BB-SPIDEV0-00A0.dtbo Now the Display is attached but I can use HDMI! :-) Thank you for your support.

[beagleboard] Disable Display Cape and use HDMI
Hi Guys, my problem is that I need to "switch" between using the display cape and the HDMI output of my BeagleBone Black Rev C. I can't always detach the Display Cape when I want to use HDMI because I plan on fitting my BBB in a permanent case. Is there a possibility to use the HDMI output when the Display Cape is attached to the Board? I can't seem to find an answer in any other questions or forums so I would really appreciate some help. I'm currently using debian 9.5 with following kernel: 4.14.49-ti-r54 I've tried editing the /boot/uEnv.txt file to disable loading the Cape, but I've always come up with an error. When I disable uboot_overlays and power up my BBB, the user LEDs start blinking but after a few seconds only the heartbeat LED is on, while the other LEDs are off permanently. On the screen I can only see the startup "penguin icon" but it's like the BBB froze. I've also tried uncommenting disable_uboot_overlay_addr0= and enabling uboot_overlays but then the same thing happens to the LEDs while my monitor doesn't even recognize a HDMI device. I am really stuck because I think it has to be possible to disable the Display Cape but I can't figure out how. Thank you in advance.
