Re: [beagleboard] Re: PocketBeagle U-Boot Overlays [naming???]

[Graham Haddock]

Will the same Ethernet overlay work for both the ETH Click and the ETH-WIZ
Click?

Since the 10/100 Mb Ethernet (ETH WIZ) Click board is $19, and the 10 Mb
only ETH Click board is $24, I bought the 10/100 ETH WIZ click board.

I've started listing working boards here:

https://github.com/beagleboard/pocketbeagle/wiki/mikroBus%E2%84%A2-Click-Boards

I've got a spi and i2c example working..  So it should be easy for
others to add additional boards. ;)

[Graham]

Your naming proposal seems appropriate.


The mikro Click boards seem to be good for experimenting with one new part 
or function.
Microchip is supporting them on their new "Curiosity" series dev boards, 
too.
Great for learning to program an I2C, SPI or UART interface.

Easy to layout unique little PCBs fitting that footprint.  I have already 
done that for a unique ADC and a 6 pin console serial port adapter.

Where it starts to fall apart is when you want to use more than one or two 
"Click" boards worth of functionality, although mikro does have a separate 
four-up universal click board motherboard.

They list 381 varients:

https://shop.mikroe.com/click

So 381 * 2 dtb overlays..

99% of them use one interface, SPI/I2C/UART

So if we had to use the interface name, i'd probably simplify it to just:

PB-I2C1-RTC-6-CLICK-00A0.dtbo
PB-I2C2-RTC-6-CLICK-00A0.dtbo

Maybe that'll be good enough to help users know which side to plug in?

The interface names seem much more self explanatory.
The U/M option is workable.

Ps, if we assume "config-pin" we can make these much simplier:
