## Description

desertcart.com: Expansion CAPE for BeagleBoard BeagleBone Black with RS485 CAN DEBUG Connector Interfaces @XYGStudy : Industrial & Scientific

Review: Hardware is fine, zero manufacturer support - I have a couple of these but there is little or no support out of Waveshare if you want to use modern (> 4.) debian or unbuntu kernels releases. As a Cape it does not support the I2C overlay memory. the brief page they have falls woefully short and attempting to email them was a joke. I use them for CAN and considering all I really need added to the bbb is a transceiver, a couple capacitors and resistors but I can't build all that in a cape for less than this board. I have not used it for Rs485 but since it's really just hosting a transceiver it's probably fine. + works and properly mounts a can transceiver - I spent a several hours having to manually figure out how to setup the beagleboard overlay system for 4.1 and 4.1 (same process) (Google gets 5 stars) currently running...

### ⭐ Hangs my BeagleBone Black after a few minutes
*by D***I on September 17, 2016*

I have a Beaglebone Black. Angstrom-Cloud9-IDE-GNOME-eglibc-ipk-v2012.12-beaglebone-2013.05.24-MISC-cape-HDMI-v1.1. from the vendor is loaded. Two problems: After a few minutes, with the cape installed on my BBB, with only power connected, the linux heartbeart LED stops and I cannot access it. I have no problems without the cap installed. (Replace and remove the cape with power off.) So, this unit is useless to me. I also followed the instructions to try to load their version of Angstrom Linux. Angstrom-Cloud9-IDE-GNOME-eglibc-ipk-v2012.12-beaglebone-2013.05.24-MISC-cape-HDMI-v1.1. It booted from the SD card when BBB was powered up, but it would not transfer to internal memory when the boot button near the USB was pressed during startup. I used the same process with publicly available BBB-eMMC-flasher-2013.09.04 and I was able to transfer this version to internal flash. Maybe it isn't a "flasher" version. If I'm quick, I can do the CAN commands posted on the vendor's web site. I sent a CAN message to the cape and it was received and displayed. But then the BBB hung.
