I suspect it is a problem with your dtbo file. I believe that some of the dtbo files that used to be installed in /lib/firmware have been essentially compiled in to the kernel in an attempt to fix some other issues. My dtbo for my XBee cape is still in /lib/firmware and it works fine. Doesn't au

If you aren't doing anything with hardware (using capes, etc.) then doing C/C++ on the BBB is no different from any other Linux system. There are lots of resources for that kind of stuff. Even if you want to talk to external devices using serial communications (UART) or some other standard protoc

If you are using the regular and pro 2.4GHz XBee you don't need anything close to 1A. The hardware pin sleep is so low power that turning it off makes little sense. Just my two cents from the guy who builds low power hacking drones. On Dec 31, 2014 4:36 AM, "Kevin D'Souza" wrote: > I have an ap

The VID/PID doesn't determine what driver is loaded. That is determined by the device class/subclass/protocol which is either provided in the device descriptor or (more commonly) interface descriptor. On Thu, Jan 22, 2015 at 11:08 AM, wrote: > We would like to use the BBB as part of a prototype
