Motor Cape V1.0 Firmware install

Products & Technology BeagleBone
#1

Hello there,

I have reciently purchased the Motor Cape for Beagle Bone. I am running a beagle bone black with this version of linux:
</s>uname -a Linux beaglebone 4.14.79-ti-r84 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Nov 13 20:11:18 UTC 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux <e>
After running all of these updates successfully:
</s>sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential python-pip python-dev python-smbus git -y sudo pip install Adafruit-GPIO sudo pip install Adafruit_BBIO sudo pip install pyserial<e>

I also edited this file, adding the two lines to the bottom of the uEnv.txt file, as suggested in another post:
</s><i> </i>sudo nano /boot/uEnv.txt uboot_overlay_addr0=/lib/firmware/BB-UART2-00A0.dtbo enable_uboot_cape_universal=1<e>

In the end, when I run ‘make flash’ or ‘sudo make flash’ I get this output:

So, at that point I check for i2C address connection with this:

</s>debian@beaglebone:~/Desktop/MotorBoard/MotorBridgeCapeFirmware$ i2cdetect -y -r 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f 00: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- <e>

And I can’t get it to connect.



Also, when I try to run the MotorBoardTest.py file, I get the following output:
</s>debian@beaglebone:~/Desktop/MotorBoard$ sudo python tests/MotorBridgeTest.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "tests/MotorBridgeTest.py", line 64, in <module> motor.ServoInit(ServoName,Frequency1) File "/home/debian/Desktop/MotorBoard/tests/MotorBridge.py", line 356, in ServoInit WriteHalfWord(SVM3_FREQ,Frequency) File "/home/debian/Desktop/MotorBoard/tests/MotorBridge.py", line 212, in WriteHalfWord MotorBridge.writeList(WriteMode,data) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Adafruit_GPIO/I2C.py", line 127, in writeList self._bus.write_i2c_block_data(self._address, register, data) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Adafruit_PureIO/smbus.py", line 294, in write_i2c_block_data self._device.write(data) IOError: [Errno 121] Remote I/O error <e>

Please, any help would be greatly appreciated!!
