Hello Guys, 

Today I received my BeagleBone Black and the 7" LCD LVDS bundle (Cape + 7" Display) form Chalkboard (http://www.chalk-elec.com/?page_id=1280#!/~/product/category=3094859&id=13727570).

On thier page i couldn´t find any manual how to setup the bungle or software guides for the BBB just one small software guide for the BBW .

I have updated to the current Angstrom version and would like to use the BBB with the LCD cape.

First of all I am not really sure how to connect the hardware to the board. 

Of cause the cape is just plugged on top and also the connection to the display is self explaining, but there is another little PCB which can be plugin in two ways and has an mini USB port.

and this little board:

 

which in my understanding can be plugged in here, but there is no failsave so i could also turn it around ...: 

But the backlight of the LCD is running without this litte pcb when I plug the board to power. 

It stays black! Is that becasue the BBB isn´t configured for this display or becasue the little PCB needs to be connected. 

My Problem is I don´t have an micro HDMI cable here right now to see if the Cape is recognized by the board or not. 

I was under the impression that I wouldn´t need it, because it was "plug and play" :(

Has anybody an BBB running with this cape and display and can give me some tips on how to configure it.

Kindest Regards and many Thanks in advance.

Berthold

Hello Berthold,

have you got it working? My setup looks like this - i have connected the usb port of the converter board

with the usb host port of the bbb. After connecting all wires i just get the green led on the

little usb touchscreen board blink. Screen keeps black.

 

The BBB is brand new - without any software modifications.

So we may have to try to rebuild the kernel with support for the cape?

Hope for good news ...

I have put the bbb on ice for now, because it is quite new and i think that the bbw capes are not always compatible to it. 

For now I am useing an beagleboard xM for my project with an LC display from chalkboard. It works out of the box, only the resulution has to be altered.

so the bbb will slumber till chalkboard or anybody else will build an 7"Display kit for the BBB.

Hi Berthold,

 I bought this cape too, but without the LCD, which I have many over my table, and have cable and monitor, to test.

 Could I know if you make this cape works already ? if not, and I make some success :) I will share here.
