Hi Mark, Nice tutorial. Wish I'd had that quite some time ago, I had to pull all those pieces together myself.
>From having read a bunch of posts here, I have a few suggestions for your consideration. 1. User needs to be in the gpio group. This isn't mentioned. 2. People often ignore parts of instructions. If your prompt included the current directory name, it would be slightly more obvious where each command is run. 3. It would be AMAZING if tutorials such as these included a description of what version of code this was developed/tested on. You could either mention the RCN release number or the kernel build, but it would be so great if this were a standard thing to mention. Consider how much things have changed with device trees over the past five (?) years. There's tons of now-wrong notes on how to do things. (I know you mention a kernel in the compilation section, I guess it would be nice to spell this out up top, i.e. "This tutorial is applicable to Beaglebone release xxx"). 4. Not sure this comment is welcome, but a top level Tutorials page containing all the EBC## tutorials would be cool. I found the others by clicking on your ECE497 link, but that isn't exactly obvious (to me). Those look like some great materials that I hadn't come across before, for some reason.
