RE: [beagleboard] using SYSBOOT pins as outputs....not booting from uSD
They are actively being read on boot up and any loads on them, your other devices, will affect the booting mode of the processor. Check the SRM https://github.com/CircuitCo/BeagleBone-Black/blob/master/BBB_SRM.pdf?raw=true , check the data sheet http://www.ti.com/product/AM3358 and search this mailing list. They will all tell you the same thing. You can also check: http://www.elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack#Expansion_Header_Pin_Usage Do not apply any load to those pins until after the SYS_RESET line goes high. Another thing you can try is to apply lower resistance pullups and pulldowns that match the ones on the board, except with a lower value. That will affect the video, but as you want to use them for outputs, the lower values should be OK.

[beagleboard] using SYSBOOT pins as outputs...not booting from uSD
Hi all Im using a beaglebone green(same processor as beaglebone black) to control a robotics project. Im using several of the SYSBOOT Pins as outputs in my program after booting (Program running on QNX OS, from uSD card). My problem is that the beaglebone won't boot correctly when connected to the robot periphery, and im assuming the SYSBOOT pins are being disturbed. This confuses me because all SYSBOOT pins im using are connected to INPUTS of other components. Therefore they are not being driven, and should have no effect. I also read that the SYSBOOT pins have no internal pullup/down resistors, and that the resistors on the beaglebone black are "weak" and that additional pullup/down resistors should be added on. I'm a) not sure what it means that the pulldown/up is weak b) if i add additional pullup/down, what value should they be? Pull up or Pull downs? What is the proper sysboot configuration for booting from SD ? I'd be happy to see if anyone has any insight on this as im at a loss.
