Great! u-boot 2014.1 with the patch above and kernel 3.13.1-armv7-x9 worked first time. Usb camera and usb serial convertor show up in /dev now.
Remaining problems are: 1. usb0 not working - it comes up after "ifconfig usb0 up" and "ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.20" both work, but the LEDS do not come on and no data is sent. Do I need a special driver for this? lsmod only shows: ftdi_sio 28716 0 - Live 0xbf1c2000 usbserial 25040 1 ftdi_sio, Live 0xbf1b5000 gspca_ov534 11132 0 - Live 0xbf19c000 gspca_main 22504 1 gspca_ov534, Live 0xbf191000 rtl8192cu 60073 0 - Live 0xbf175000 rtl_usb 9251 1 rtl8192cu, Live 0xbf16e000 rtl8192c_common 41155 1 rtl8192cu, Live 0xbf15d000 rtlwifi 51753 2 rtl8192cu,rtl_usb, Live 0xbf149000 mac80211 451022 3 rtl8192cu,rtl_usb,rtlwifi, Live 0xbf0b0000 cfg80211 402423 2 rtlwifi,mac80211, Live 0xbf01f000 rfkill 18946 1 cfg80211, Live 0xbf015000 2. rootfs is mounted read-only - I thin I can change this in uboot? 3. and of course, the rtl8192cu driver doesn't work (but it never has - I always need to build realtek's version from their website - however, they do not seem to have a version which supports 3.13 :( Nishanth - I would be glad to give whatever information is helpful but being a newbie I am not clear about some of the terminology you use e.g. "ensure latest linux-next tag and master tags are sane and report issues".
