 Hi, Chris,
 
 This one is to old.
 
 Did you find any other repo? Thanks.

I’m in the same boat - but maybe not so deeply up the creek.

   I'd like to discuss moving our current library of cape devicetree
   overlay sources into a single tree, including the boot .dtb files for
   BeagleBoard.org boards and moving towards enabling as much of the cape
   support into a single boot-time .dtb file with an approach similar to
   the cape-universal overlay
   (https://github.com/cdsteinkuehler/beaglebone-universal-io), but not
   in an overlay.
  
   First of all, I want to note this doesn't change my view on the
   importance of mainline support for devicetree overlays. They are still
   absolutely critical and highly useful, solving problems that cannot be
   solved through boot-time devicetrees. I'm simply looking for an
   approach that will complement the availability of overlays and provide
   the best user experience.
 
 Here's the most obvious question in the world on this topic.  Are capes
 hot-pluggable?
 
 Looking at the posts on google+ from David Anders, they're using pin
 headers for connectivity, with no additional protection against hot-
 plugging, and no sequencing of pin connection.  In other words, they are
 not hot-pluggable.
 
 So, why do we need to add a load of infrastructure to the kernel to allow
 the device tree to be modified at run time?  At present, the way the
 entire DT infrastructure works is that it assumes the DT remains static
 and never changes - this applies not only to the core DT code, but also
 to all the drivers which have been converted.

As others have pointed out, capes aren't the only use case. pseries
already modifies the tree at runtime, and the FPGA users want the
ability to add/remove additional DT blocks. I've also heard from
hobbiest/maker developers that by deferring the load of additional data
to userspace means they don't need to mess with the boot path once it is
working. The feature is coming.

[beagleboard] Power switch for Beaglebone?

You should use the RMA form on the on beagleboard.org site. I
would
post
a link but beagleboard.org seems down right now and cant get the
actual
link without the long google search stuff added on. So just
google
beagleboard RMA and should be the first result.

 Yes, and you can go the other way if you use a rotary tool to create a hole

I got one of these and the memory card slot is partially blocked and
