Actually, I even tried to manually pass my P8_34 device tree overlay to the cape manager: > > /lib/firmware$ sudo sh -c "echo bone_pwm_P8_34 > $ SLOTS" Then it looked good, like: > root@beaglebone:~# cat $SLOTS 0: 54:PF--- 1: 55:PF--- 2: 56:PF--- 3: 57:PF--- 4: ff:P-O-L Bone-LT-eMM

Donovan: In your Molloy book, read about device trees, which set the default assignment of the I/O pins. Also read about the pin-mux. And related topics like pin-mux helper and device tree overlays. Then find the reference in the book to the BBBP8 and BBBP9 header file spread sheets on the we

Also, I chose to explore these pins by doing: /lib/firmware$ *ls bone_pwm** as stated on p.231 of Derek Molloy's BBB book.. Thank you!!! Donovan On Sunday, February 8, 2015 at 5:25:10 PM UTC-8, donov...@gmail.com wrote: > > Hello folks, > > I'm so frustrated. I can't find any pattern to why I
