Charles, Ok, my bad I think I confused what you're trying to do with what I personally would do.
With that said, I can not speak for anyone else, but I would find a cape manage for 3.13.x useful. In fact not having a way to load a device tree file via uEnv.txt as with 3.8.x is what is primarily keeping me from using 3.13.x for the time being. Really, I like some of how 3.13.x is right now ( hard code a device tree overlay it seems ), but short term, I do not have time to learn how this works. Too many irons, and not enough fires . . . or something like that ;) On Mon, Feb 10, 2014 at 3:00 PM, Charles Steinkuehler < char...@steinkuehler.net> wrote: > On 2/10/2014 3:23 PM, William Hermans wrote: > > Charles, > > > > Personally, I think the other idea you had ( default device tree overlay > ? > > ) is a better idea.
