Debian 4.4.9, Encoder doesn't work.

[Maksim Surov]

Hello. I have installed Debian 4.4.9 on my BeagleBone Green. The debian already has all the neccessary overlays, so i tried to load the device bone_eqep2b by typing

echo bone_eqep2b > /sys/devices/platform/bone_capemgr/slots

everything looks well, and my device is in the slots:

# cat /sys/devices/platform/bone_capemgr/slots
 0: PF----  -1 
 1: PF----  -1 
 2: PF----  -1 
 3: PF----  -1 
 4: P-O-L-   0 Override Board Name,00A0,Override Manuf,bone_eqep2b

but actually device doesn't work. The dmesg shows the error

#dmesg

What is the reason, and how to repair this?

You're doing something wrong.

$ sudo sh -c "echo 'eqep2b' > /sys/devices/platform/bone_capemgr/slots"

Well, actually I suppose it could be the kernel version you're using:

$ uname -r
4.4.9-bone-rt-r10
$ cat /etc/dogtag
BeagleBoard.org Debian Image 2016-05-01
