So… I installed the image that Robert pointed me to. And things still aren’t working. Here’s some more info.
root@beaglebone:/lib/firmware# ls /lib/firmware/ dra7-ipu2-fw.xem4 dra7xx-m4-ipu2.xem4 vpdma-1b8.bin None of them mention i2c in the name (as William Hermans message suggested one should). However, this is as one would expect: root@beaglebone:/lib/firmware# ls /boot/dtbs/`uname -r` |grep green am335x-bonegreen-overlay.dtb am335x-bonegreen.dtb Output from i2cdetect is identical with before. Other suggestions? Ben On Oct 18, 2015, at 2:51 PM, William Hermans <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi William, Thanks for writing back. I haven't resolved it, no. I can't find any info about the proper device tree in the BBG documentation. Do you know where I could find one that includes the grove connector busses? Ben Well, not exactly but . . . First, you need to be aware that every board, be it Beaglebone black, white, or green all have their own initial device tree file which is board specific that gets loaded at boot time. So if you looks at the /boot/dtbs/`uname -r` . . . $ ls /boot/dtbs/`uname -r` |grep green am335x-bonegreen.dtb You should get the same output from the above command. Ok so here I have to assume once your board has this file loaded at boot. Your board, should effectively behave like any other Beagelbone. With this in mind if we look at /lib/firmware/ . . . $ ls /lib/firmware/ | grep I2C BB-I2C1-00A0.dtbo BB-I2C1-PCA9685-00A0.dtbo Looks like, at least for me, I have two I2C device tree overlays which I can load. One generic I2C, and another which is unfamiliar to me, but seems to be for a specific device. >From here you should be able to load the first dtbo file if you have the same >on your board, and be able to use your I2C utilities.

So before going off half cocked based on what I'm saying, you should >double check what you can. But if you have further questions, I'd be glad to help. I do have interest in the BBG . . . But we already own 5 blacks . . . On Sun, Oct 18, 2015 at 12:25 PM, Ben Shapiro <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi William, Thanks for writing back. I haven't resolved it, no.

However I thought I might mention that for most ( perhaps all ) devices of this nature on the Beaglebone's you need to load a device tree file, which in turn often loads needed kernel module drivers, sets the pins up, etc. On Fri, Oct 16, 2015 at 10:12 AM, Ben Shapiro <[email protected]> wrote: (apologies if this is a double-post... my first submission does not seem to have gone through) Hi, I've been having a hell of a time getting the BeagleBone Green to see Grove devices connected to it.
