I'll push an update to https://github.com/beagleboard/bb.org-overlays shortly. For the RS485, just using the already loaded UART driver is fine: sudo config-pin p9.11 uart sudo config-pin p9.13 uart Then, set your baud, etc. via 'stty' with /dev/ttyS4. For the CAN, I think we used BB-CAN1-00A0.dts configured via /boot/uEnv.txt, ie: uboot_overlay_addr4=/lib/firmwareBB-CAN1-00A0.dtbo > It might have been possible with config-pin, but I'm not sure. Again, sorry I dropped the ball on submitting the overlay. I should be able to have it pushed by Monday afternoon and Robert should be able to have it in the repo by Wednesday. -- https://beagleboard.org/about - a 501c3 non-profit educating around open hardware computing -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
