Additional comment for BBB.

The amdhf.com minimal images may need an additional module enabled to talk to the DVAP or DVRPTR device.

@ -7,8 +7,22 @@ or a BeagleBone Black with the latest Debian image (see http://www.armhf.com). S
software will EASILY fit on the on-board memory of the BBB, but you will still
need a uSD card to install the armhf.com Debian image to the on-board memory.
Another note on the BBB, the armhf.com Debian image does not support some usb devices
out of the box, but it is easy to correct. If you plug in your DVAP or DVRPTR into
your BBB or RasPi, the kernel should auto load drivers and you will see that with the
"lsusb" command. The DVAP uses a FTDI chip and the DVRPTR uses Atmel. If you don't
see an approprite output from "lsusb" after your device is plugged in, you need to
enable it by executing:
sudo depmod
sudo modprobe <YOURDEVICEMODULE>
where YOURDEVICEMODULE is "ftdl_sio" for the DVAP or is "cdc_acm" for the DVRPTR.
After a reboot you should see the device in the "lsusb" list. If you don't see
the device listed, Scott's software will never be able to open it either.
You will need several packages to build Scott's gateway. The RasPi will probably have
all or moste of these but it still doesn't hurt to be sure:
