Hey Everyone,

I'm a n00b so please excuse me, but I have been trying to get my BBB to 
boot with no power on P9-pin 11.

Controlling them through /sys/class/export works fine but even if I write a 
bash script to disable power, it still stays on for about 5 seconds before 
my script runs to cut power.

So, obviously I learned bash scripts are not the way to go here.

Next, I tried exploring making the config changes in the boot loader. I've 
modified beagle.c in u-boot source and commented out this entire section:

       /* Set GPIO states before they are made outputs
        writel(GPIO23 | GPIO10 | GPIO8 | GPIO2 | GPIO1,
                &gpio6_base->setdataout);
        writel(GPIO31 | GPIO29 | GPIO28 | GPIO22 | GPIO21 |
                GPIO15 | GPIO14 | GPIO13 | GPIO12, 
&gpio5_base->setdataout); */

        /* Configure GPIOs to output
        writel(~(GPIO23 | GPIO10 | GPIO8 | GPIO2 | GPIO1), &gpio6_base->oe);
        writel(~(GPIO31 | GPIO29 | GPIO28 | GPIO22 | GPIO21 |
                GPIO15 | GPIO14 | GPIO13 | GPIO12), &gpio5_base->oe); */

Recompiled, put MLO and u-boot.img in my /boot/uboot path but it still 
doesn't seem to work.

Again, I apologize for the n00bness, but would someone that has experience 
doing this kind of thing be able to at least point me in the right 
direction? 

are there other methods I can use in this $gpio5_base? 

End goal is to be able to hook up my multimeter to pin 11 on P9, boot the 
device and never see voltage, until I want it (I got that part down)
