BeagleV-Ahead and Other Ideas

Hello,

I would like to outline a couple pointers in starting the extlinux.conf file on the BeagleV-Ahead...

You may have to change the Path b/c of the Cape Interface Specification from beagleboard.org but other than that, one can find /sys/class/leds/relay1 for testing...

Design & specifications — BeagleBoard Documentation for the BeagleV-Ahead build...

...

Introduction — BeagleBoard Documentation which will show some nifty expansion in the form of Mikroe Shuttle among others...

So, instead of:

from pathlib import Path
from time import sleep

class Gpio:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name
        self._value_path = Path('/dev/gpio', name, 'value')

You may need something like this:

from pathlib import Path
from time import sleep

class Gpio:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name
        self._value_path = Path('/sys/class/leds', name, 'brightness')

The BeagleV-Ahead has a lot to offer in way of computing outside of the main processor, i.e. th1520. There is a couple CSI-2 ports for various cameras like some RPi versions and others from Leopard Imaging.

I found that my current image which can be booted from USB from a host, the BeagleV-Ahead has good install speeds for getting up to speed quickly.

BeagleV®-Ahead - BeagleBoard has some good info. for anyone looking to advance in Riscv-64 technology.

That is my short on Python3 and making the BeagleV-Ahead board work to its partial potential.

There is a DSI port on it too. If you wonder how, b/c I mentioned it, to boot via USB, please see the docs here: Quick Start — BeagleBoard Documentation

There are some forums for people looking for assistance which is usually consumer based. There are some beagleboard.org members using the forums and I am sure if the community cannot find the way to handle adapting a timely answer, someone from their organization may jump in to help and assist.

P.S. A simple couple of programs can be found here: GitHub - silver2row/BBBW_RELAYCAPE: More Source for the Beagleboard.org BBBW and RelayCape and if you have any questions, please jump in to let me know.

I can use some feedback and/or information like anyone else...
