WIP
More Source for the Beagleboard.org, am335x BBBW and Relay Cape (can be used with the BBAI-64 and BeagleV-Ahead...
I think one or more of the Python3 files are exempt from use. Mostly, the source does not work as expected for now.
sudo apt install libgpiod-dev gpiod
Now, once all the above is done, one can use the source. If I am missing anytyhing, please tell me.
kernel: Linux BeagleBone 5.10.168-ti-r73
cat /etc/dogtag: BeagleBoard.org Debian Bullseye Minimal Image 2023-10-07
You can find this image and more at:
https://forum.beagleboard.org/t/debian-11-x-bullseye-monthly-snapshot-2023-10-07/31280
I found the above combination of kernel and image to work for the Relay Cape and BBB thus far.
Other kernels and images may work too. There is a Spec. for specific firmware(s) and kernels, i.e. please see below.
https://docs.beagleboard.org/latest/boards/capes/cape-interface-spec.html
one can use this item of interest in promoting a .dtsi on the BBB/BBBW/am335x board:
https://github.com/mvduin/overlay-utils/blob/master/BBORG_RELAY-00A2.dtsi
That .dtsi file works w/ the Relay Cape! You might have to disable cape-universal too.
The file, MyThird.c, is a WIP too...I found it online and am trying to change it a bit.
- I am currently trying to adjust it to suit the am335x on the BeagleBone Black Wireless
- The Relay Cape is also in play here
- Additional steps may need to take place
Please let me know how it goes.
P.S. Also...a few things to note here:
1. Depending on which kernel and image you are choosing, the Spec. may change...
2. Also...
a. Some kernels and images will allow for a quick plug and play experience.
b. While other firmware, kernels, and images may not be plug and play.
3. If b. is the case, use the .dtbo in /boot/uEnv.txt under this header:
c. https://docs.beagleboard.org/latest/boards/capes/relay.html#bone-cape-relay
3.c. from above will guide you seemlessly into a build of cmake, make, and/or with the C programming language.
This may be fun at first but soon you will find out what you can do next! Enjoy...

- The next few sections will be about the BBAI-64 and BeagleV-Ahead along with the Relay Cape.
- I will promote my findings and report back.
- Enjoy the BBB until next time...
