No. You don't boot from a chroot, you simply pivot from one rootfs to another. I suggest you go out and do some reading and experiment on your own. Additionally, chroot does not imply QEMU either. On Thu, May 11, 2017 at 6:59 PM, Riko Ho wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > Is

As for why your pin is not "sticking" low until to go high. My first instinct is there is a logic flaw in your code. However, something else did cross my mind. Is that pin floating ? Or is there a weak pullup / pulldown on it ? -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You
