Ehm,.. I should have followed the link about uboot in the mail. As
pinmux settings in uboot are of course right (everything to output I
thought, I have checked that often), I thought hns has accidently run an
ancient uboot instead of an old one...
So I did not update my uboot. Ok, that seems to be the missing part of
information I needed all the time when I was experimenting with that.
At least I now get something out of the McBSP1. Now I am searching my
headphone.
