My BBB has to communicate with a new homemade cape, which has different I2C sensors and a MCU controlled by UART.
The BBB has a Debian 7.8 distro, Debian 4.6.3-14, with 4.1.18-ti-r56 kernel.
Then, I need to add cape support into capemgr in order to work with the cape.
Looking for some info, I have just found that Device Tree Overlays (.dtbo & .dts) files need to be stored at "/lib/firmware".
And there must be the ‘bone_capemgr.X’ path into “/sys/devices”.
The fact is that there is no ‘bone_capemgr.X’ path at “/sys/devices”.
So, I have two issues here:
-
How to build my own device tree overlay?
-
And the main one, how to add it to the system properly?
Due to there is no capemgr support (‘bone_capemgr.X’) at my BBB, it would be great to know how to add it.
KR!
