Cloning EDID To DVI Debug Tool

Cloning an EDID using the BeagleBone Black and the Tin Can Tools DVI Debug Tool
The following procedure will allow you to capture an EDID from a given monitor, and program the Tin Can Tools DVI Debug Tool with that EDID for testing purposes.

Materials

 * 1 HDMI monitor
 * 1 Bealge Bone Black w/ latest Angstrom image loaded (This procedure was tested with the 09/04/13 image)
 * 1 TinCanTools DVI Debug Tool
 * write_edid.py script (listed below)

Steps

 * 1) Boot the BeagleBone Black
 * 2) Copy the write_edid.py file (listed below) to the BBB
 * 3) Connect an HDMI monitor
 * 4) The contents of /sys/class/drm/card0/card0-HDMI-A-1/edid are the 256 bytes read from the EDID EEPROM of the connected monitor, copy this to a file (edid.bin in this example)
 * 5) Disconnect HDMI monitor
 * 6) Activate I2C1 on the BBB with 'echo BB-I2C1 > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.8/slots'
 * 7) Connect pin 17 on P9 of the BBB to SDA on the DVI Debug tool
 * 8) Connect pin 18 on P9 of the BBB to SCL on the DVI Debug tool
 * 9) Connect ground from BBB to DVI Debug Tool
 * 10) Put a jumper on Write Enable on the DVI Debug Tool
 * 11) Connect HDMI cable from BBB to DVI Debug Tool
 * 12) Run 'i2cdetect -y -r 2', you should see a device at 0x50
 * 13) Run './write_edid.py edid.bin' to write the captured EDID to the DVI Debug Tool
 * 14) run 'i2cdump -y 2 0x50' to compare with the captured EDID to verify the write was successful
