Re: [beagleboard] Can "allocated pins" on BBB be used as GPIOs ?

2014-09-04 Thread progbrain 
Hi John


Sorry for asking you again but it still doesnt work :-(

I've tried several times to build the kernel, also in the Desktop Folder. 
Yesterday i destroyed my image somehow :-). I reflashed the BBB again with 
the Debian form my uSD Card and started right with the Kernel building 
without doing anything else before except the 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bc lzma lzop libncurses5-dev

which are necessary...

but i get the same error everytime :

the whole process also takes very long espacially the resolving deltas 
process

do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong or whats wrong with my bbb. I'm 
running my bbb over ssh with putty and without uSD Card.

What am I doing excatly by following your Instructions? I mean i don't have 
any idea I'm just following your Instructions. Isn't there an easier more 
newbie-like way? In my Project I need to connect 16 PEC11-Encoders. That 
means 32 GPIOs. I already got 30 so I just need to more but it seems more 
complicated than i thought it would be :-)

Hi John

I always get this even after reflashing my whole bbb with Debian.

Do you have any Idea what went wrong or what could be wrong with my bbb. I 
tried the whole process several times and it took a very long everytime 
espacially the resolving Deltas process. And it always ends up with this 
Error. What am I doing wrong? 

Isn't there an easier way to do that? In my project I got 16 PEC11 Encoders 
that means I need 32 GPIO's. I already got 15 so i just need 2 more.
