Title: beaglebone cape support for AM3352-olinuxino
Post by: jturner on February 03, 2013, 11:03:42 AM
Given that the planned AM3352-olinuxino(1) will use the same processor series as the beaglebone, will it be possible to provide compatibility with existing beaglebone capes, either by using the same connector on the board itself or by providing an adapter?

Also, can you confirm that the AM3352-olinuxino will support USB-OTG?

BeagleBone cape connectors are odd and not easy to use and source, I have no idea how TI came with this connector pin numbers but this is very odd choice

we will use 40 pin 0.1" connectors which can be easily connected to IDC cable or female IDC 0.1" connectors and are very common to use

I do not see any interesting "capes" anyway to consider these cape connectors as something useful to put on AM3352-OLinuXino

AM3352 supports USB-OTG so it's implemented
