Today I updated once again my Beaglebone Black by merging-in the latest =
FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT (BEAGLEBONE) snapshot, and once again I enabled the =
ADCs on the Beaglebone in the device tree blob am335x-boneblack.dtb, and =
the ADC is still working fine.
Even if it is not that a big hassle to modify the device tree blob, I am =
curious on why the ADC has been disabled in the blob in the first place, =
end even more, given the fact that the device ti_adc driver is built-in =
to kernel and once enabled, the ADC is functional.
Didn't it work at some time in the past? Now it is.
What is missing to activate the ADC in the device tree blob by default?
Best regards
Rolf
