I have not had a chance to try the image provided by Beagleboard.

I just moved recently and still unpacking. Need to find the box with power cord.

Never heard anything back from E14 with regards to the bbcape43 image provided by E14.

Have you had any success or help with this problem? I'm thinking of using these with BBB Ws and I don't want to have them sitting around if there's no support.

When will this image support the BeagleBone Black Wireless?

I purchased this display for use with the BeagleBone Black Wireless.

The image doesn't seem to be compatible with the BBB W.

After flash of the BBB W eMMC with this image file, WiFi and Bluetooth are not detected. Ethernet is listed even though there's no Ethernet port on the BeagleBone Black Wireless.

I need this display to properly work with the BeagleBone Black Wireless.
