I have a couple of the robovero boards comming. Is there anything in the Angstrom build needed for the onboard Overo to communcate with this board? Drivers or packages. the wiki says it shows up as a /dev/ttyACM and i'm wondering if i need latest image or something. thanks, Mike Ash Charles wrote: > > Hi, > > The RoboVero does provide power to the Overo just like other expansion > boards.
