I’ve just added support for the new 3 Newhaven 7 inch capes to the default BeagleBoard Debian Image.
You’ll need the latest version of the bb-cape-overlay package along with an updated u-boot. (this will be part of the 4/30/2017 weekly snapshots)

I’ve burned a fresh 9.4 debian LXQT image downloaded from beagleboard.org on a new BBB and NHD-7 sun readable display cape. There is no way to make it work.
Could you point how to configure this cape for Debian newcomers?
@2nova , please run:
sudo /opt/scripts/tools/version.sh

dmesg shows the following:

u-boot in the eMMC is blocking overlays from working properly…
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=1M count=10

It works!!!, many thanks.
Hi there,
Same issue over here, it just does not show anything at all in the cape.
Tried @RobertCNelson , hit, but no joy.
Any help would be amazing!
Regards
Hi @apocsantos , what image are you using? The Spring 2020 has a nasty pwm regression… If you have the folder /dev/pwm/* then that’s one issue. Which can be quickly fixed via:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo reboot
Otherwise, do you have a usb-serial adapter to plug into j1, (you can remove the lcd), we just need to see what version of u-boot is running?
If you don’t have a usb-serial adapter please run this built-in script:
sudo /opt/scripts/tools/version.sh
and share the output to this thread.
Regards,
Hi,
Not even version.sh is avaliable in /opt/scripts/tools/version.sh
[new]http://archive.debian.org/debian wheezy mainhttp://archive.debian.org/debian-security wheezy/updates main
with this added and changed date to a valid certificate:
apt-get update -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false;
it updated, but yet it should work with a 2020 version of debian, and yet it keeps failing…
Goal is to have it running with a basic web browser on the screen
Regards
Hi @apocsantos , sorry Wheezy went EOL in 2018…
You can try this image:
https://rcn-ee.net/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2020-08-03/buster-lxqt/bone-debian-10.5-lxqt-armhf-2020-08-03-4gb.img.xz
But sadly, the default Firefox is like watching paint dry. Nothing is optimized for single core, low memory systems anymore…
[quote=“RobertCNelson, post:9, topic:190”]/opt/scripts/tools/version.sh
Still cant find /opt/scripts/tools/version.sh
We didn’t start shipping that debug tool till the Debian Stretch era.
ok, so any help putting the cape to work ?

Hi @apocsantos ,
That means your still booting the original Debian Release for the BeagleBone Black, probally from the eMMC.
Remove power, take off the LCD, using your finger nail hold the boot button, plug in power, after an LED turns on, lift your finger… It should now boot bone-debian-10.5-lxqt-armhf-2020-08-03-4gb.img.xz, then erase your eMMC with dd.

It’s looking good, now… I’d run:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=1M count=96
To clear out the old fat partition with the old u-boot, then it’ll always boot from the microSD.
Regards,
Hi again!
Ok, did so, and it outputed this:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=1M count=96

96+0 records in

Mounted the cape, powered on the beagleboard, but still no joy, neither the beagleboard boots, nor the screen show’s anything.
Any hint ?

How are you powering the board? 5V DC?
After deleting the eMMC, and rebooting. version.sh should dump out:
