 +==== Rotating the BeagleBone Screen / Display ====
 +This can and should be done use X. Downside is you can't rotate the console like on the RPi.

 ==== Transient State of pins during startup ==== ==== Transient State of pins during startup ====
 +
 +Basically, until the Device-Tree-Overlays are loaded, the Beageblone-Blacks gpio pins are in ''​INPUT''​ mode and sometimes, during bootup, may switch devices your relays and other stuff that depends on your pins being configured for ''​OUTPUT''​ at level 0, when powering up.
 +
 +There are two possible solution that I know of.
 +  - Don't power up your external gpio-controlled hardware before the BeagleBoneBlack has booted
 +  - Guard your GPIO Pins with some Peripheral-Buffer IC's that need an **EN**able signal.
 +
 +In both cases, you still need a pin to connect the EN signal or power-relay for our peripherals,​
 +a PIN that you can trust to pull your pheripheral LOW even during bootup.
 +
 +A good choice for that are most pins that, per default, are muxed not to the GPIOchips but to internal devices like UART, SPI, I2C.
 +
 +The following is a list of measurement,​ which pins pull which direction (HIGH/LOW) during bootup.
