hi guys 
i have already worked with beaglebone blue .
Right now i want to develop a cnc machine so looking into beagle g and gcodes 
i have  tried integrating beagleg with beaglebone with bone kernel and not "ti" as it seems hardware overlay is not yet compatible with beaglebone blue
beagleg was developed fr beaglebone black 
is it compatible for beaglebone blue 
bumps and cramps boards given for beagleg seem to be compatible only with black 
if not pls guide me on this
Regards
Rohit

BeagleG is developed on the Beaglebone Black and Beaglebone Green.
It probably will work with the Beaglebone Blue, you might need to change

The line
compatible = "ti,beaglebone", "ti,beaglebone-black", "ti,beaglebone-green";
in the *.dts file. Check your kernel log to see if installing that succeed.

yeah, the Beaglebone Blue removed the standard pin-header, so you
might need to connect the GPIO pins in a different way if they are
even exposed.

The simple thing is to just get a fully featured Beaglebone Green
instead of a Beaglebone Blue which does away with all the GPIO pins
you need (Also the Green is only 1/2 the price). The Blue is optimized
for a different kind of peripherals.

i have ordered a beaglebone green and started working with that .
it seems as if beagleg has no problems with beaglebone green.Installation process went on very smoothly
but i have problems reagarding homing 
G28 works and sensor guides the machine to 0,0 
but after that the actual part doesnt seem to work 
the same thing worked when i give --homing-required which i came across in github
