I just got the answer from Robert Nelson in another thread. The solution is almost too simple, config-pin is the answer.
Just leave the #cape_enable=bone_capemgr.enable_partno= commented out and let the cape-universal=enable on the cmdline do its thing, and after it boots: sudo config-pin P9.24 uart sudo config-pin P9.26 uart Presto! /dev/ttyS1 works with minicom. Still an issue if you need rts/cts as these uart1-rts/cts on P9 19 & 20 seem to now be hardwired in the kernel for use by /dev/i2c-2 and are "not-modifyable" with config-pin. If Xon/Xoff works as advertised on the device I've ordered, I should be OK without RTS/CTS pins. The progress being made behind the scenes is amazing, getting the word out about taking advantage of it, not so much. --wally. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
