device tree overlay - gpio

Products & Technology BeagleBone
#1

Hello,

Just got my brand new Beaglebone green. I wanted to export one of the GPIOs via the device tree overlays. I have followed the tutorial from

http://kilobaser.com/blog/2014-07-28-beaglebone-black-devicetreeoverlay-generator#1gpiodto and got below error

root@beaglebone:/lib/firmware# echo bspm_P8_13_f > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.?/slots -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

[code] [ 5927.336871] bone-capemgr bone_capemgr.9: part_number ‘bspm_P8_13_f’, version ‘N/A’

[/code]

I then tried to load an existing dtbo file, PyBBIO-gpio1_13-00A0.dtbo and again got an error

can you please tell me what I am doing wrong

Hello,

Copy the echo bspm_P8_13_f > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.?/slots to rc.local file

and use the following commands

root@beaglebone:/# cd /etc
root@beaglebone:/etc# nano rc.local

hope this would resolve your issue.

Thanks and Regards

hello,

thanks for the answer. The problem seems to exist.

I did one more thing, can you please check it too

After I disabled the uart2 cape by commenting it in /boot/uEnv.txt, I was able to load universal cape without problems.

echo cape-universaln > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.9/slot

then I wanted to have beaglebone to automatically load it at boot time so I modified /boot/uEnv.txt adding the below line

capemgr.enable_partno=cape-universaln

After this, beaglebone green stopped booting. I can’t ssh into it and D2 led blinks twice per second.

I think I bricked it up. I will reflash it with an image from beagleboard.org/latest-images

Can you please tell me what I did wrong
