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:

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
