If I have to reboot it just to change the I2C frequency it will spoil all those other things until it has rebooted.
Linux (like Unix) is a proper multitasking OS and while a BBB *might* be dedicated to one task it is quite a powerful little beast and is perfectly capable of doing all the things I've listed above at the same time. The whole philosophy of having to be root to do any significant changes to the IO and of having to reboot as well is all wrong IMHO. -- Chris Green ยท -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
