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

2014-08-23 Thread halfbrain
Would be nice if you could explain how to disable eMMC on debian. I ran out of GPIO's in my project. Tried to use P9_19 and P9_20 (both I2C's) in the device tree overlay but since i did that the overlay doesn't work correctly anymore. Am Sonntag, 18. Mai 2014 22:19:16 UTC+2 schrieb john3909: >

Yeah I actually had a similar thought, a web app to help tell you the current state of the pins and even let you change them by generating and loading the appropriate overlay. Been too busy with other stuff to look at it yet, but maybe it would be easier to just start with something that builds a

Robert, thank you - yes I should be able to use them directly, of course. Except I have __NOT__ been able to! My ubuntu distro has no /boot/uEnt.txt in the FAT partition. Instead the /boot/uEnv.txt appears in the linux filesystem partition and does not do anything at boot time, obviously. I ha

Robert, ok, cool. I've created packages before, and one recently for Nodejs. This is how my own 3.8.13-bone47 + barefs is so small with Nodejs + express + socket.io. I would not be above doing the same for this cloud9, and sharing the information in one way or another. I'm still very newb with git

I can see multiple ways to approach this, maybe it would be best to start from the console image, and install everything needed, manually, then giving you all the instructions needed to duplicate ? Or i could just do another blog post if there is not enough call to make a completely different image
