BBONE-GATEWAY-CAPE_README_11292016_v0 1.pdf

A related question to the one I posted above- The instructions reference flashing a SD card with the image required to run the cape. Flashing the card will delete the image currently on the card which is the Debian version that is running the Beaglebone. The cape uses the same pins as the EMMC and so the board won't be able to boot properly if there is no image on the card. I would like to understand functionally how this works.

I am having the same issue. I followed the instructions in the read me with no success. I am attempting to get the cape to function with a beaglebone black. I cant seem to find anyone who's completed this task successfully.

Jack, did you ever receive an answer or help with the issues you described in your last post?

From other posts I've found that this wireless cape uses same pins as emmc, so you HAVE to boot from SD card.. the fun part is, in order to do this, you have to push a button inbetween the cape and BB.

Having followed the instructions, the OS still doesn't recognize the device. I'm seeing these messages from the capemgr:

I see there's another dtb in the latest debian image named: am335x-boneblack-wl1835mod.dtb
Should we be using that or the: am335x-boneblack-overlay.dtb   ?

Also: Where can I find the documentation on the jumper pin-outs?

The instructions were intended to be used with a firmware image running off the inserted SD card.  It was not verified on the eMMC.  In fact I believe the inserted Cape may not function properly if running off of the eMMC.

So, can you please try running the image from an SD card and report back the functionality?

Thank you.
