BB-View for BeagleBone Black - Again!

Former Member
Former Member over 9 years ago

Hi All

 

I've recently spent a great deal of time trying to get the BB-View working with the BBB. A lot has been written about it here, including one post with 135 replies, and still counting. Clearly the BB-View has major problems with support in Linux.

 

It works OK as a display with a variety of kernels (I have put my notes on BeagleBone Setup for BB-View if anyone is interested). I haven't been able to get the touch input working reliably. It appears to have trouble getting accurate position measurements and I suspect this may even be an issue with electrical noise. The unit is currently sitting on my top shelf waiting for the day I may need a display of that size. The 4D Systems' BeagleBone Black 7.0" LCD Cape does what I was wanting and does it well.

 

My question is simple - has anyone managed to get the BB-View touch input working? If so, could you please let us know how this was done. Otherwise maybe the unit needs to be reclassed as a display only device.

    Yes! Blog post here: [AirCare] InTheAir - Week 2: Preparing the Beaglebone Black Worked properly out of the box. I'm using the 7" BB-View.

    Thanks Frederick. It looks like it is possible. As yours worked out of the box and others have had all sorts of problems, it maybe that some units are faulty. I'll try out what you've done but at first glance it looks pretty much like what I did. It's worth another try just in case I did miss something.
