Thank both of you. Your explanations did work very well and I can load capes without a problem.
The only problem is that no capes are loaded at boot startup process. So I need to load the cape everytime. The following answer <https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=de#!topicsearchin/beagleboard/overlay/beagleboard/hr8L9U7HLMk> didn't help further. I have that flag as default in my beagle. The only working way seems to be: /boot/uEnv.txt // open that file and write the following: cape_enable=bone_capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART1 But I thought that this is just an alternative, not the first choice. Any idea? Am Montag, 9.
