I haven't moved files. I moved entire flash image. Firstly, created working 2GB SD card, then copied it on the linux PC to a file using DD tool. Then booted from SD, mounted NFS to see the file and DDed into /dev/mmcblk1. If you bother with silent of DD tool, you may use great PV utility e.g:

Hi, Actually I have posted what I have discovered. The problem I faced was with 10 inch screen, with theLCD7CAPE every thing works fine. Touch screen has a capacitance, and there is a charging cycle, which is used in initial touch detecting. If the charging faze is too short, touch screen

2014-04-15 Thread Piotr Murawski
Actually, FreeRTOS is a kind of micro Kernel OS, that is, the Kernel is SoC independent. It is supported on anything it can be compiled to, and is reasonable resourceful. Since it works on 8bit controllers, 1000 times faster BBB is ok. Porting to a new SoC requires connecting System timer and

Just compile the kernel following the commonly known instructions for BBB. On of the step, will download appropriate gcc toolchain, it will be named like gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.10_linux/. That's it. Regards, Piotr. W dniu czwartek, 10 kwietnia 2014 01:20:47 UTC+2

Hello Dennis, I did exactly the same. I connected a touchscreen without a cape. So... 1) Capes are recognized thanks to EEPROM data, then appropriate device tree file is loaded which does the job, that is set hardware pins and loads + configures the driver. 2) You don't have a cape and hence

Good point! However, the issue in the errata is about pen-up whereas I had pen-down false interrupt. Increasing charging time clearly moves the problem away. Piotr. W dniu poniedziałek, 24 lutego 2014 14:45:31 UTC+1 użytkownik Bas Laarhoven napisał: Hi Piotr, Have you studied the errata

I hope, you have solved the problem. If not, I'm hurry with the answer! 1) I had to connect a 10 inch resistive touchscreen, and go t the same issue. 2) The explanation is capacitance of the touch screen, which is a bit bigger then anything, the driver author had to deal with. BTW, quite
