NHD-7.0CTP-CAPE-N | BeagleBone Black Cape with TFT Display | 7.0" Sunlight Readable LCD | Capacitive Touchscreen | EEPROM with On-Board Dip Switches | Developing with Android & Linux

Engineered in Elgin IL USA, we designed this BeagleBone Cape to be a perfect fit for our 7.0” TFT displays and upgraded it with the sunlight readable NHD-7.0-800480EF-ASXN#-CTP display model. With capacitive 5-point multi-touch functionality and 800x480 resolution screen, this cape works seamlessly while developing with operating systems like Android and Linux. It includes an on-board dip switch for configuring EEPROM and secondary headers for additional cape connections. In addition to the secondary cape slot, we added four 3.5mm mounting holes that are compatible with standard M3 screws, a reset button, write protection pins, PWM backlight control, and an LED power indicator. With this cape we’ve made it easy to take your design process from concept to reality. When paired with the BeagleBone Black board (sold separately by beagleboard.org) you’ll have everything you need to plug-in and start developing.

The BeagleBone Black is a great development platform. In contrast to the Raspberry PI it’s a solid hardware design without any major bugs. For a reasonable price you get some really nice hardware specs: 512MiB RAM, 1GHz AM335x ARM with an FP accelerator, 4GiB on-board flash AND and external SDcard slot, Ethernet, USB-Host, HDMI, 2 on-board programmable microprocessors (the PRUs) and last but definitely not least: 69 digital GPIO pins and 7 analog inputs to an 12bit ADC.

In fact, the BeagleBone people make it really easy on their users, by letting you control everything via the devices webserver using their JavaScript extension “BoneScript”.

So, when you now take a look at Table 12 and 13 of the BeagleBoneBlack SRM and read that e.g. Pin P8_3 on the expansion header is routed to gpio1[6] inside the chip, it’s easy to calculate that in Linux you see this as gpio/gpio38/ since 38=1*32+6.

Most pins on the BeagleBone are multi-purpose. They can be routed (muxed) to different modules inside the AM335x chip. If you’ve already looked at Table 12 and 13 of the BeagleBoneBlack SRM you’ve seen that each pin can have one of 8 different functions, only only of those is GPIO: Mode 0x7.

To make it really easy I’ve cobbled together a Device-Tree Overlay Generator for the BeagleBone. First however, let’s have a look at some of the Device Tree Overlays which the BeagleBone Black shipped with: PWM-Overlays.

Using cape_enable=capemgr.enable_partno= you can tell the kernel to load any overlay found in /lib/firmware While cape_disable=capemgr.disable_partno= keeps the kernel from loading any part that was originally specified in dtbs/am335x-boneblack.dtb Some Overlays or functions you cannot unload once they are in the Device-Tree. You have to keep them from loading, in precisely that manner.

The command dtc used here is the Device-Tree Compiler. It’s pre-installed on the BeagleBone and allows you to compile the text-version of a Device-Tree to the binary format used by the kernel and vice versa. Read the man-page for more information.

The gen4 4DCAPE LCD Display Modules are compatible with the BeagleBone Black only. gen4 4DCAPE LCD Display Modules with Resistive Touch for BeagleBone Black. The 4D Systems gen4 4DCAPE LCD Display Modules with touch are designed specifically for the BeagleBone Black development platform. They provide a simple means of adding a primary display with touch functionality to BeagleBone Black based applications. The included 4DCAPE adaptor makes connecting the display to the BeagleBone Black easy. The 4DCAPE adaptor fits directly onto the expansion headers of the BeagleBone Black and connects to the display via a 30-way FFC connector. No other connections are needed, the BeagleBone Black provides all the necessary power and display signals via the 4DCAPE adaptor. This variant of the 4DCAPE LCD Display Module range features resistive touch and incorporates the Microchip AR1021 controller to interpret user inputs. The touch controller communicates with the BeagleBoard Black over I²C. Features.

(Elgin, IL: March 27, 2017) – When paired with a BeagleBone Black board, the 7” BeagleBone Capes offer a streamlined approach to touch development. Capacitive 5-point multi-touch functionality is standard on these products, enabling the use of built-in touch functions when developing with operating systems like Android or Linux.

The Newhaven Display 7” BeagleBone Cape product line features three Capes. Each one is mounted to either a Standard, Premium, or Sunlight-Readable 7-inch Newhaven Display TFT and are designed for use with a BeagleBone Black board (created & sold separately by beagleboard.org). Engineered and assembled in Elgin, IL USA, these new Capes make display prototype developing easy for both current and aspiring BeagleBone users. The simple “plug and play” structure allows you to get right to development – even with Android or Linux operating systems.

The 7” BeagleBone Capes’ use of BeagleBone development technology means the user can utilize the BeagleBone community and open source resources to facilitate the design process. In addition to the BeagleBone community resources, Newhaven Display provides Operating System images (OS images) written specifically for use with the 7” Cape’s featured TFT display. The Capes also have a secondary Cape slot present to supplement your BeagleBone development with any other Capes you may need. The amazing BeagleBone community, along with these specially designed Capes, creates a realm of endless possibilities.

The new 7” BeagleBone Capes are paired with various Newhaven Display TFT options. The featured display options are an NHD-7.0-800480EF-ATXL#-CTP, an NHD-7.0-800480EF-ASXV#-CTP, or an NHD-7.0-800480EF-ASXN#-CTP. These part numbers represent Newhaven Display’s Standard, Premium and Sunlight-Readable 7” TFT technology. All of the displays that come with these 7” BeagleBone Capes feature an 800×480 pixel resolution, 24-bit true color, as well as an integrated full-featured capacitive touch panel.

The sizable 7-inch display area on the TFT provides ample real-estate for touch interactivity. The capacitive touch panel that comes standard on the 7” BeagleBone Capes supports 5-point simultaneous touch input and gestural functionality. By integrating touch technology with the BeagleBone Black board, the user can take full advantage of the built-in touch capabilities of operating systems such as Linux or (especially) Android. This means you can begin touch-interfacing with the display in just a few steps by utilizing our available OS images designed specifically for these Capes. The TFT display and touch panel bring a lot of functionality to the 7” BeagleBone Capes, but the real power lies in the brilliant design of the Capes themselves.

The on-board hardware of the 7” BeagleBone Capes was designed to optimize usability with the BeagleBone Black. There are secondary headers to attach additional Capes if desired, enabling the expansion of the product development. Mounting the display is made easy by the four 3.5mm mounting holes compatible with standard M3 screws. A reset button is added allowing for easy access to BeagleBone Black’s reset function covered up by the Cape. There’s also on-board dip switch for configuring EEPROM – customize the memory however you see fit. A power LED indicator and write protection pins are integrated as well as PWM backlight control. These features make the 7” Capes an ideal companion to the BeagleBone Black.

Leave behind complicated development setups for a compact and powerful 7” BeagleBone Cape. It’s a high quality 7-inch Newhaven Display TFT together with a full-featured custom BeagleBone Cape in one neat package. Simply plug the Cape into your BeagleBone Black and open up the world of possibilities that awaits.
