Hi

With the factory flashed eMMC image , the 4DCape-70T was detected on boot 
up, and a calibration screen was launched before the GUI. This calibration 
application included a countdown timer , shown using a animated color 
circle in the middle of the screen. Everything worked nicely on a quick 
test. 

Using http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian, I used a 8Gb 
uSD card to flash the jessie debian testing image from 2015-1-27 to get 
access to qtcreator (for qt 5) via apt-get. [

The 4DCape-70T didnt work on boot up, but required adding in a 
dtb=am335x-boneblack-4dcape-70t.dtb  line in /boot/uEnv.txt and rebooting. 
The LCD cape works for display, but the calibration application wasn't 
installed. 
I did install a "libts-bin" from wheezy , and can run ts_calibrate, but 
this isn't the same version (or maybe not even the same program) as above. 
It looked partially the same, but for instance had no timer, counting down. 
I presume that the timer was added, because it was added into the boot-up 
sequence. However, even with the version of ts_calibrate it still is very 
badly calibrated, with the boundary areas inaccessible, and has ghost input 
/ skipping the cursor around the screen. 

Any hints how to get back to the calibration program via the factory 
flashed version of Debian? I can offer to port it to Debian testing BBB 
image. :-D

Less important, since i can patch around it, but what changed between the 
(presumably) Wheezy image and jessie image, so that the cape isn't 
automatically available anymore?

Cheers cuz,

Andy
