Here's the change I made to setup.sh to conditionally use slots with
kernels <=3.8.
#
# Slots changed to device tree overlays after 3.8
#
major=$(uname -r | cut -f 1 -d '.')
minor=$(uname -r | cut -f 2 -d '.')
if [[ $major -lt 3 || ( $major -eq 3 && $minor -le 8 ) ]] ; then
#
# Older slots method
#
SLOTS=/sys/devices/bone_capemgr.*/slots
# Make sure required device tree overlay(s) are loaded
for DTBO in cape-universal ; do
if grep -q $DTBO $SLOTS ; then
echo $DTBO overlay found
else
echo Loading $DTBO overlay
sudo -A su -c "echo $DTBO > $SLOTS" || dtbo_err
sleep 1
fi
done;
else
#
# Use U-boot /boot/uEnv.txt to load capes.
#
echo "Kernel version is greater than 3.8, no need for slots. See
/boot/uEnv.txt"
fi
