Finally found the required changes to get UART1, 2, 4 and 5 loaded and numbered correctly under 3.12.
The source for the "capes" I was looking for (BB-UARTn) were created by this patch: https://github.com/beagleboard/kernel/blob/3.8/patches/not-capebus/0176-capes-Add-virtual-capes-serving-as-examples.patch, and it looks like the RS232 cape would need the same change. The file isn't in the 3.12 branch and I don't speak git so I've attached a patch for this patch (sorry) which fixes the UART and RS232 overlays. If anyone just needs working DTS and DTBO files for BB-UART1, BB-UART2, BB-UART4 and BB-UART5 for kernel 3.12, I'm attaching them here as well in bb-uart-dts-312.tar.gz On 19 November 2013 18:34, Mike Bremford <m...@bfo.com> wrote: > The .dtbo's distributed with Robert's 3.12 kernel binary exhibit the > symptoms I described, but no I haven't compiled from DTS source (because I > haven't been able to find them).
