Hello Robert, Thanks for your reply.
I did the apt-get update and then apt-get install minicom and that worked fine, thanks. I then tried to follow the instructions at https://github.com/beagleboard/bb.org-overlays/blob/master/readme.md I type the following: git clone https://github.com/beagleboard/bb.org-overlays cd ./bb.org-overlays dtc --version (response: Version: DTC 1.4.1-g1e75ebc9) ./dtc-overlay.sh ./install.sh zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_BONE_CAPEMGR (repsonse: CONFIG_BONE_CAPEMGR=y) cd /opt/scripts/tools git pull The next five steps just say: v4.1.x-ti: v4.1.x-ti + Real Time: v4.1.x mainline: v4.1.x mainline + Real Time: v4.3.x mainline: and then a command for each one. I think this is to run a script which updates the kernel. If I type uname -r I get 4.1.15-ti-rt-r43 so I'm guessing I should run the script for "v4.1.x-ti + Real Time" (rt meaning Real Time??). Part of the response is: info: you are running: [4.1.15-ti-rt-r43], latest is: [4.1.15-ti-rt-r40] updating... then the update proceeds and seems to completre OK. The next two steps just say: capemgr: enable/disable capes on kernel cmdline: capemgr: enable/disable capes with slots: I'm guessing that this is showing two different methods to enable/disable capes on the BBB. Since the lernel command line seems to need cape part numbers and I've no idea what these might be, I've tried the slots commands. I type: cat /sys/devices/platform/bone_capemgr/slots and I get: 0: PF---- -1 1: PF---- -1 2: PF---- -1 3: PF---- -1 4: P-O-L- 0 Override Board Name,00A0,Override Manuf,cape-universaln The instructions only show entries 0 to 3. I type: sh -c "echo 'BB-UART1' > /sys/devices/platform/bone_capemgr/slots" and I get: sh: echo: I/O error Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
