Hi William, Yes, I realize that the pain is self-inflicted and I want to be clear about that. I have a favourite golfer that once said,"I'm an idiot!". I've uttered those very words once or twice lately. Judging by the forums I think others have said similar things.
You would never believe it by my comments but in the late 1980's I was doing this full time on a RT VME chassis running UniFlex (Unix variant). I wrote drivers in C and 68030 assembly language and did some very neat stuff. The learning curve was steep back then too. Ah, but I was young! Time didn't matter...So I had to see what the kids are getting into these days. I am actually more concerned with another issue regarding attaching a USB hub to the USB host on the BBB. After I've done that the system won't enumerate any of the devices I've put into the hub. But according to dmesg the hub itself was successfully installed. Ideas?
