Hello,
I'd like to share a tool, which helps to create pinmuxing
configurations for BeagleBone. The tool takes as an input a simple
text config file and outputs shell or python script or eeprom contents
for a cape.
The tool also can read eeprom contents and create an output file in
any of the formats mentioned above, or a config file.
Can be downloaded from https://github.com/piranha32/beaglebone-pinmux-tool

Looks like a neat little program Jacek, I've haven't seen much Ruby before and when I have it has been within a framework. I very much like the look of the language and the program seems useful too!
Regards,
Jack.
Ruby is a very elegant language. The pinmux tool started as a quick
hack and unfortunately it can be seen in the quality of the code. I
promised myself to rewrite it one day to take advantage of OO design,
but for now I just wanted to push it out.
BTW. the main reason why I prefer ruby over python is that the program
and the crash dump actually look different
regards,
j.
Hi,
Are there any plans to extend this tools also for other beagle boards except for the bone?
Yes, I just need to have time to sit down and type the table with pin
information. That means that I don't know when it will happen.

Great! Count me in for testing.
I always wanted a command line tool which does not need Windoze for pinmuxing.
Hopefully in the near future pinmuxing might be simplified by the flat device tree, which can be used both by u-boot and the kernel. http://omappedia.org/wiki/Device_Tree
