Basic Proto Cape
Contents
Descriptions
The Basic Proto Cape is designed to break out 26 signals from the expansion headers of the BeagleBone Black including GPIO, I2C, SPI, UART, PWM, analog inputs, +5V, +3V3, and +1.8V (analog). These signals can be accessed via a 26-pin male header.
Revision Changes
Revision A1
Initial release of Basic Proto Cape.
Software Support & Compatibility
All revisions are compatible with BeagleBone and BeagleBone Black.
There is a device tree overlay associated with this cape and can be loaded by follow:
echo "cape-bone-proto" > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.*/slots
To have the device tree file loaded on startup:
sudo sh -c "echo CAPE=cape-bone-proto >> /etc/default/capemgr"
Then reboot the system.
