As well as the hardware in general. So one can make any changes needed to software, or hardware on their own when they need specific functionality changes. The above is not meant as a smart or condescending remark. It's meant to impress on the point that the hardware was designed with cost in mind, and that the software for this hardware is provided free of charge. I am sure there is someone out in the world that would be happy to make these changes for you, if you're willing to pay their fee. But I can sympathize, I understand where you're coming from. I've had to make software changes myself for various things I needed built into the system. Granted, I never needed this specific functionality myself, as I said in my previous post, we do not use our own boards in this specific manner. You may have to end up adapting your usage, or the software to conform to your own specific needs. But that's often how the open source world works. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
