The company that developed the "bb-view" is in their own little world. They had their own distro, with a special kernel build. They ignored the beaglebone doc's and stuck an led on the pins reserved for the cape eeprom, thus no cape eeprom for identification. I've hacked it enough to get the display working.. Touch screen still need's calibration, via xinput-calibrator on bootup. I'd say it's 95% there, I'll look into it again in the future if i find free time, but i'm working on other projects with oem's that care about working directly with the community..
