I have a BBB project in mind that would replace an old DOS machine, making use of one of the PRUs, and it would need about a dozen or so high speed GPIO pins.
To do this project, I can see I'd need to disable HDMI to free up the needed GPIO, but a text mode console is kinda required; something that can display text reasonably quickly using direct screen memory access (not slow like a serial port). Is there such a thing as a text-only cape that the linux kernel can boot with as its default console? In my case just 80x25 monochrome text is fine. I could see this being useful for a lot of industrial applications where a graphics screen isn't needed, just a high speed text console. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
