BBONE-GATEWAY-CAPE_README_11292016_v0 1.pdf

This cape is not compatible with eMMC due to pin conflict.  If you have an older beaglebone black with Micron eMMC then it may be possible to get it to work by booting from SD card and keeping eMMC disabled.  If you have a newer beaglebone black with Kingston eMMC (which cannot be held in reset) then it may be impossible to get this cape to work at all.  See this thread for more discussion: https://github.com/beagleboard/Latest-Images/issues/18

Add this line.

cape_enable=bone_capemgr.enable_partno=BB-BONE-WL183

This line is nonsense since

1. it applies only to ancient systems (prior to u-boot overlays) while your remaining instructions only apply to recent systems (with u-boot overlays)
2. there's no overlay named "BB-BONE-WL183"
3. if it did load another WL183x overlay (it doesn't), it would conflict with the BB-GATEWAY-WL1837-00A0 overlay and probably break your system.

Thanks Robert

Working, at last.

Stay healthy

And I have the Element14 WIFI cape working with the latest Debian.

It took a lot of poking around.

But God smiled upon the struggle and I found BB-GATEWAY-WL1837-00A0.dtbo in the /lib/firmware directory.

Edit the /boot/uEnv.txt  with these modifications.

###Additional custom capes

uboot_overlay_addr4=/lib/firmware/BB-GATEWAY-WL1837-00A0.dtbo

Then modify this sectoin

###Disable auto loading of virtual capes (emmc/video/wireless/adc)

disable_uboot_overlay_emmc=1

disable_uboot_overlay_video=1

disable_uboot_overlay_audio=1

#disable_uboot_overlay_wireless=1

disable_uboot_overlay_adc=1

Comment out

# enable_uboot_cape_universal=1

Add this line.

cape_enable=bone_capemgr.enable_partno=BB-BONE-WL183

power down

PLUG your wifi module in

and and power up.

start connmanctl and do what the readme says to do.

enable your wifi, scan your wifi etc..

You should be running and not tearing your hair out.

Have a great day
