missing sys/devices/ at lib/firmware/

[epi kao]

Hello all,

I have try to understand export/unexport overlay with following link:

https://learn.adafruit.com/introduction-to-the-beaglebone-black-device-tree/exporting-and-unexporting-an-overlay

But then i don't found the folder "sys/devices/"

So i have try to remove the # at the line #cape_disable=bone_capemgr.disable_partno= , on the uEnv.txt file.

But after reset, the hdmi-output has switched off.

So I have change the uEnv.txt file back to orginal, but unfortunately the hdmi is not working anymore?? :-(

Please find below my current uEnv.txt file, so whats wrong now? - and how can i access/enable overlays like the LCDcap?:

If you're using kernel 4.x you should stop reading anything on adafruit's web pages unless you know how to parse old outdated information. Which obviously you do not.

So . . . sys/devices won't always exist. but /sys/devices should. You need the forward slash unless your current working directory is / ( or root ). When used without the precceding forward slash, Linux will only look as far as your current working directory for sys/devices/

As to your specific problem. It's because you're not paying close attention to what you're doing, and what Robert explained to you yesterday.

cmdline=coherent_pool=1M quiet cape_universal=enable

#In the event of edid real failures, uncomment this next line:

cmdline=coherent_pool=1M quiet cape_universal=enable video=HDMI-A-1:x800@400e

You need to comment out the cmdline= line that you're not using. As you can only have one cmdline= statement.

Yes but the problem is, that this two cmdline was already entry in the orginal. So thats because i have try with two. But anyway my hdmi output is already off also with only one cmdline  :-(

And concerning /sys/devices, i have verified this not only with the terminal, i could really not found this folder! After lib/firmware/ i could not see any other folder with sys or devices??

[epi kao]

i don't know why, but now i can find the folder /sys/devices but not "bone_capemgr.*

root@beaglebone:/lib/firmware# cd /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.*

-bash: cd: /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.*: No such file or directory

root@beaglebone:/lib/firmware# cd /sys/devices/

root@beaglebone:/sys/devices#

:-( and by the way uEnv.txt seems already wrong - hdmi is off (only one cmdline is activated)

now hdmi is working, i don't know why, i have deleted the last empty line, and actived the second cmdline instead the first....

so i am only looking for a solution regarding this "bone_capemgr.*" .... why i cannot find this file?
