Hi,
I have made a custom Beaglebone black board to go in a medical product I am designing. Its been silly-fiddly to get this up and running. 1) the SD card socket I sourced has the card-in switch inverted. This bit was easy to fix. 2) The EEPROM is blank and I understand I forgot to remove the write protect [school boy error] so they way forward is to just bypass the detection and make a patch to hard-wire the code for Beaglebone black or green.
Right now all I get is a single character on boot, which appears to be a ASCII 3 or ETX (end of text)
There was a patch for this for the old linux (around version 3), but I am migrating to the Wind River linux version 5.4.33 (or LTS10) which is a really nice version.
It did work, but I dont see why as it appears to put a pair of strings into a numeric return value.
Is there a newer reference anywhere for bypassing the EEPROM ? , as I can only find a really old one that doesnt work well.
Much appreciated.
Cheers
Richard
