mikroBus™ Click Boards

mikroBUS and, by extension "mikroBUS Click boards", are trademarks of MikroElektronika. We do not make any claims of compatibility nor adherence to their specification. We've just seen that many of the Click boards "just work".

Some of these Click boards require the latest version of bb-cape-overlays, so make sure to double check your installed version:

debian@beaglebone:~$ dpkg -s bb-cape-overlays | grep '^Version:'
Version: 4.4.20170927.0-0rcnee1~stretch+20170927

Source: https://github.com/beagleboard/bb.org-overlays/tree/master/src/arm

U-Boot can currently load up to 4 overlays thru /boot/uEnv.txt

#uboot_overlay_addr0=/lib/firmware/<file0>.dtbo
#uboot_overlay_addr1=/lib/firmware/<file1>.dtbo
#uboot_overlay_addr2=/lib/firmware/<file2>.dtbo
#uboot_overlay_addr3=/lib/firmware/<file3>.dtbo

To load an overlay, remove the # and replace the fileX with the matching name.
