 You can also connect the SDA pin to CE1 (GPIO7, pin #26) and call the RFID constructor with *bus=0, device=1*
 and you can connect RST pin to any other free GPIO pin and call the constructor with *pin_rst=__BOARD numbering pin__*.
 Furthermore, the IRQ pin is configurable by passing *pin_irq=__BOARD numbering pin__*.
 
 __NOTE:__ For RPi A+/B+/2/3 with 40 pin connector, SPI1/2 is available on top of SPI0. Kernel 4.4.x or higher and *dtoverlay* configuration is required. For SPI1/2, *pin_ce=__BOARD numbering pin__* is required.
 
+__NOTE:__ On Beaglebone Black, use pin names (e.g. `"P9_17"`).
+
+__NOTE:__ On Beaglebone Black, generally you have to enable the SPI for the spidev device to show up; you can enable SPI0 by doing `echo BB-SPIDEV0 > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.9/slots`. SPI1 is available *only if you disable HDMI*.
+
 You may change BOARD pinout to BCM py passing *pin_mode=RPi.GPIO.BCM*. Please note, that you then have to define all pins (irq+rst, ce if neccessary). Otherwise they would default to perhaps wrong pins (rst to pin 15/GPIO22, irq to pin 12/GPIO18).
