Display capes and U-boot

dosnova

Dear All. I've recently bougth a BBB and a touch display cape from NHD-7.0CTP-CAPE-N NHD-7.0CTP-CAPE-N [165mm x 119.21mm] - $93.00 : Newhaven Display International, Inc., High Quality Sta…

 

There is no way to make it works with the latest debian (9.4) Stretch LXQT image provided by beagleboard.org. It seems to be an U-boot issue but for Debian newcomers it is hard to manage this stuff..

 

We would appreciate suggestions.

  • Did you try one of Newhaven's existing images to see if the hardware is working properly? The NewHaven's forum may also be a good place to ask this.

     

    Unfortunately I don't have the same cape, but if you issue a menuconfig to re-configure u-boot, one of the sections is related to Graphics support - in my distro it is disabled by default, but you could try to enable it, rebuild u-boot and see if it works ok.

     

    From the u-boot source directory you can issue a make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- menuconfig

     

    Good luck!
