I'm mostly concerned about loading extra capes, beyond the stated limit of 4. I'm guessing that the only real limit is that capemgr doesn't search I2C addresses outside of 0x54 to 0x57, and therefore won't "see" the additional EEPROMs. Of course, I can manually load as many devices through DTOs as I want Mainly I'm looking to see if there's any *hardware* limitations to loading 5+ capes (seems unlikely), or any software limitations (which seems somewhat likely). I guess the big concern with the capes is, I'm continuing to add hardware to my system and I'm trying to determine what I might need to modify to ensure it loads properly at boot. If using more than 4 capes means I have to load the DTOs manually, I can do that, but it would be nice to not have to do that. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
