Finally starting to get the hang of device tree overlays on the BBB. I’m really digging how easy it makes it to set up pins on a project by project basis.
It’s pretty cool to be able to run one command and have all the pins set up and ready to go. Thanks for the help.
Spread the religion!
Everyone is working hard on BeagleBoard, but face it, one day, and it will be far too soon, BeagleBoard will be old.
I think using device tree overlays and Yocto / OpenEmbedded compatible builds will let you swap the hardware out from under your project, change the BSP and not break your project. At least that is the theory.
@Jimmy_Edwards True, but if a design is working based on BeagleBoard and it becomes unavailable, that means TI has a better, probably code-compatible replacement.
