Re: [beagleboard] Best method to run config-pin after bootup?

It's been my experience that if you're running 4.x kernel it's best not to use config-pin at all. For simple GPIO it works ok most of the time. But for more complex configurations it may not work all that well. There is at least one GPIO( P9.27 I think ) that won't properly display it's high / low

Hi Przemek, My original question was regarding xrandr command. Now I am able to open a window as per a small qt progam in the LCD display. But still xrandr is not showing the outputs. It is showing no protocol specified. root@localhost:~# xrandr No protocol specified Can't open display :0.0 ro

Re: [beagleboard] xrandr Can't open display

how do you connect local via console or remote via (whatever) ? you must have you X server running. When you are local You can open a terminal window ? (xterm, ...) (note: Handling is more easy if you have a windowmanager running) now you must be able to try "xrandr -q" inside the terminal windo

I recently acquired the Seeed Grove Based Cape v2 which apparently does not have a populated EEPROM when delivered. According to Seed, this seems deliberate although it would be nice with a default configuration. As

Re: [beagleboard] Seeed Grove Base Cape v2, no EEPROM

I hope you’ll have some answers. I have tried to read sensors ( analog, digital, I2C…) on this Cape : grove modules or not. Even the examples ( fan module, led, 3D accelerator) on the Seeedstudio website were not working . Look at the comments there, and the Seeedstudio's team answers : https://ww

Hi, Dennis - PuTTY was acting a little weird...I deleted my session file and created a new one, so I'm no longer getting the error message with an IP address. So, I think we can disregard that (unless it returns). IIRC, 192.168.0.10 was the address that I assigned to the BBB very early on. I

Re: [beagleboard] Re: using desktop window for BBB console

You can always retrograde to Wheezy, or use one of the Ubuntu 14.04 variants. Personally I lean towards Lubuntu when I need a Linux desktop. But I do not use a Linux desktop all that often. I like Lubuntu because its LXDE that is highly configurable, and fast due to the desktop being accelerated.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: using desktop window for BBB console

Just to be clear, I rarely recommend Ubuntu. But in the case of being used as a desktop. Ubuntu in my mind makes more sense than anything else. Debian can run on a desktop system, but that's not really where Debian shines. For the purpose of getting a Linux "newb" familiar with Linux. Ubuntu will p

Yeah, I was originally running Ubuntu...changed when I started playing with the BBB, as most of the examples used Debian and I figured there might be some advantage to having the same OS on my desktop. By the way, someone in another forum identified the problem. It turns out that an app brltty
