Hello,
First of all sorry for my poor english (I’m french).
I have tried for hours to make UARTs of the BBB running.
I have used many years ago some BBBs with UARTs and I have one here running a small web site without using UARTs here.
Fortunately I have foud the following tutorial : https://www.beagleboard.org/blog/2022-02-15-using-device-tree-overlays-example-on-beaglebone-cape-add-on-boards
(One difference with the tutorial was that I handly modify omap2plus_defconfig for the following informations CONFIG_LEDS_GPIO=y and CONFIG_LEDS_CLASS=y and I had at the end of the file CONFIG_OF_OVERLAY=y becaus I didn’t know were to modify with make menuconfig)
and I was able to compile .dts file to .dtbo and make UARTs run on the Debian 12.x (Bookworm) IOT Snapshot without trouble.
But my goal was to make UARTs run on the minimal release ans it doesn’t.
If I run beagle-version on my BBB after minimal installation and all necessary configuration here is the result :

Is there any significal difference between minimal and IOT that couldn’t permit to run the UARTs ?
Thank you for your help…
