Robert, Thanks for the info - I have been following the steps in the BeagleBone+Black wiki page but encountered problems trying to write to my SD card (Setup microSD card step) as a result of my workstation (Ubuntu in a virtualbox vm on windows 8 on a macbookpro, ended up breaking my vm). In the end I want to have a beaglebone .img file to distribute to many systems, so following your steps to achieve that sounds to me like this:
1. Build beaglebone image by following https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black Completing this yields an SD card with a complete Linux image loaded. 2. Boot OS from the SD card, install dtb-rebuilder and edit dts files, run dtb-rebuilder and reboot After this we have the working OS I wish to distribute 3. Use a utility to rip the SD card image for distribution Is this a correct process for retrieving the .img file I want? Is there a better way to build a .img than ripping it from the SD card? I tried to use image-builder but there is no way to edit the dts during the build (that I could figure out) Thank you so much for your help! - Ethan On Tuesday, March 7, 2017 at 4:50:15 PM UTC-8, RobertCNelson wrote: > > On Tue, Mar 7, 2017 at 6:11 PM, <[email protected] <javascript:>> wrote: > > Hello everyone, sorry if my question has been already answered - I have > been > > looking around for a while and haven't found a good answer. > > > > I am interested in adding some hardware to the Beaglebone Green Wireless > > board, but in order to do that I need to change some of the device > tree/pin > > mux settings.
