hey, i have a BBB and i want to use the UART port it has. it has the latest debian image from the beagle website. i use it with a screen via hdmi and a keyboard and a mouse.
after changing the uEnv.txt file to have cape_enable=bone_capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART0 cape_enable=bone_capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART1 cape_enable=bone_capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART2 cape_enable=bone_capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART4 cape_enable=bone_capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART5 the beagle won't power up, the power led lights up but there is nothing on the screen. i read that UART 4 is only available if you disable the hdmi port, is this true? cause i used the UART4 with a different version of debian and it worked.. right now i only managed to get UART1 and UART2 to show after the command "cat /sys/devices/platform/bone_capemgr/slots" when writing only: cape_enable=bone_capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART1 cape_enable=bone_capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART2 in the uEnv.txt file. can some one please explain how can i use all 5 UART ports with the hdmi as well? i have tried all day with around 5-7 installations of the debian image every time because this got the beagle to drop dead. thanks! -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
