Re: [beagleboard] BBGW uEnv.txt: 2 lines that work on BBB fail to boot on BBGW

Your intuition seems to be very good. After much testing, I now can see that as soon as I enable "dtb=am335x-boneblack-emmc-overlay.dtb" and reboot, the system does come up but wlan0 is no longer known. By that I mean that "ifconfig -a" and "connmanctl technologies" both fail to list it. The od

Hello William, thank you for the prompt response. First of all, I have to say that I have very little experience with the device tree, although I did use dtb-rebuilder to enable SPI back in the linux v3.8 days. So, my first request is: please point me to documentation that is current and helpful

Sorry, false alarm. Somebody :-( had the wrong base dtb enabled. Once we had "dtb=am335x-boneblack-emmc-overlay.dtb" enabled, it worked. I apologize for the noise. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google G

[beagleboard] Getting control of the lcd pins on P8

2016-02-10 Thread codemonkey
I'm working on a project that needs quite a few gpio's and we initially chose to use the lcd pins on P8 because we are running headless. Currently, we are running: Linux beaglebone 4.1.17-bone-rt-r18 #1 Mon Feb 1 07:40:21 UTC 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux (because we used "--bone-rt-kernel --lts-4_1")

I have had wireless working on a 3.8 BBB for quite some time and I wanted to move to a v4 kernel in the hope that the "lagginess" of the wifi connection would be reduced. I loaded another board with the LTS RT v4 kernel, did apt-get install wireless-tools wireless-regdb crda, and put my ssid an

[beagleboard] BBB SPI: 6 cs signals needed

2015-01-22 Thread codemonkey
Hello, I need to address six devices on a single spi bus, and I'm hoping to avoid writing a device driver :-) We will be updating from 3.8.13-bone68 as soon as there is a stable release of a newer kernel. So far, my research hasn't turned up any indication that spidev can support the use of add
