I am completely new to Beagleboard. And I have a Beagleboard-xM hooked up to BBT-ULCD_LITE-001 REV, with no clue how to use it. I have no clue where it came from, as it was a gift from my dad, and I have no clue if it is even intended to be built like this. Any help that can be offered will be appreciated.
If you load the software for BeagleBoard-xM from https://beagleboard.org/latest-images onto a microSD card, it should boot and give you a Linux desktop with a touchscreen.
Someone did a write-up at https://www.ietfng.org/nwf/ee/embcomp/bbxm.html, but I tried it about a month ago and the EEPROM detection seemed to “just work”.
