The Chipsee 7inch capes are fun as there is no eeprom (can bus is used on those i2c pins)
Follow these instructions: Step 1: Flash BBB without LCD plugged in: Grab either image: Jessie: https://rcn-ee.net/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2017-05-07/lxqt-4gb/BBB-blank-debian-8.8-lxqt-4gb-armhf-2017-05-07-4gb.img.xz Stretch: https://rcn-ee.net/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2017-05-07/stretch-lxqt/BBB-blank-debian-stretch-lxqt-armhf-2017-05-07-4gb.img.xz Use Etcher.io to write it to a microSD card: https://etcher.io/ Stick the microSD into the BBB (without the LCD plugged in), hold down the "boot" button, insert power, remove finger from the 'boot" button, let it flash (cyclon led pattern), wait till the board power's down. Step 2: Remove microSD, First Boot, update /boot/uEnv.txt With the board booted: Open /boot/uEnv.txt There are two 7inch Chipsee Lcd's BBB + 7 Chipsee with Cap touch: dtb=am335x-boneblack-bbb-exp-c.dtb BBB + 7 Chipsee with Res touch: dtb=am335x-boneblack-bbb-exp-r.dtb and we need to disable uboot_overlays (this lcd doesn't support that).. So in /boot/uEnv.txt (if you have the chipsee 7inch lcd) you'll need to make two changes: dtb=am335x-boneblack-bbb-exp-c.dtb and change: enable_uboot_overlays=1 to: #enable_uboot_overlays=1 Step 3: (internet connection required) update kernel There's a known issue with the "r99" kernel installed by default with this lcd (just fixed it yesterday) update to "r100" or just wait till next Monday when new images are published.. cd /opt/scripts/tools/ git pull sudo ./update_kernel.sh you should see: #----------------------------- #info: you are running: [4.4.62-ti-r99], latest is: [4.4.62-ti-r100] updating... Step 4: Shutdown, plug in Chipsee LCD, (switch moved to eMMC) and apply power Step 5: enjoy your lcd, lxqt will show up, touchscreen will track finger Step 6: Profit Regards, -- Robert Nelson https://rcn-ee.com/ -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
