Just a dumb thought from a BeagleBoard newbie: Have you tried adding something that sleeps a while to your startup script? Maybe sleep for 30 seconds just to be extra sure. If that fixes it, then you know something and can look into shortening the time.

It fails if program is executed through a startup script. I am using the Rev C BeagleBone Black and the default debian image that it ships with from Element14. I have a program that utilizes the PRU for ultrasonic readings. My issue is this: If I ssh through USB, login as root or default user, and execute the program, it works perfectly (I have all the overlays loaded on startup). However, if I try to execute the program through a startup script, it fails as soon as it reaches the first line where data is read from the PRU, leading me to believe that this is the issue. Are there any issues with trying to use a PRU on startup that could be causing this? If I have explained anything poorly, or more information is needed, please let me know. This is really bugging me, and I would appreciate any advice. What I have tried so far: Manually executing modprobe uio_pruss in the startup script An old solution presented here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/beagleboard/gqCjxh4uZi0 -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
