Not attacking you either Rick, but here is the point. The official images
come with this enabled. So whether you, I, or anyone else cares, it's
already in there. The apt sources cache is either completely in RAM, with a
default cache set at build time, or it is a minimal gzipped archive.
Technically, no you do not *have* to run apt-get update _every_single_time_
you go to use APT, but generally it is a good idea. All it takes is an
update in one repo or another( depending ), and apt-get install, apt-get
upgrade, etc will fail, barfing out some message similar to E: could not
locate x.y.z.

Either way, the blog was meant for people who are new to Beaglebone, or
Linux development in general. If you're good with Debian(Linux), you
probably do not need my guides.

Passed that, many people are worried about writing to flash too much, and
I'm one of them. I've been using an A5A for gaining on 3 years now, with no
flash problems, and that includes the Sony class 10 SDHC card that we
bought for it back then. As it is, I make enough mistakes of writing to
flash, accidentally, to worry about all the compiling, apt-get installing,
etc. This is also why one of my first blog posts was on how to setup NFS
shares, and NFS root for the Beaglebone. Not to mention I compile often,
and a lot. Granted, compiling over an NFS share *is* slower, but I can live
with that. But it's also why I have a cross system for the larger projects,
or is why I wrote another blog on how to setup a USB rootfs . . .

I was also a bit "quick" this morning . . . which is how I normally am for
the first few hours after waking up. Still, if I write something in my blog
posts, and you do not get it. Don't worry so much about it. It was probably
not meant for you, or other advanced users. It was meant to keep people,
who are new out of "trouble", with minimal explanation required from me.

It's really hard to down-grade in debian, and any cache corruption
should stop dpkg from installing a *.deb package..

[Rick Mann]

I'm not attacking you, William, I'm asking for clarification. It doesn't make 
any sense to me that apt-get update wouldn't write its results to disk.

You don't need to apt-get update all the time, if it writes its results to 
disk. But if it doesn't, and you forget to next time you apt-get install, you 
run the risk of downgrading something you have installed (or otherwise 
corrupting it), don't you?

So, don't bother with apt-get update the next time you reboot. Do you think
that will prevent the error you get while running apt, without updating ?

Re: [beagleboard] Kernel 4.1.9 overlays not working

Robert, I have the same question about the source of DTC 1.4.1-gXYZXYZXYZ - 
I installed the device-tree-overlay package into a new build (Linux 
beaglebone 4.1.10-bone-rt-r16 #1 Sun Oct 4 09:05:14 UTC 2015 armv7l 
GNU/Linux) and checked the version of dtc. It was v1.4.0. I tried running 
./dtc_overlay.sh, but the version didn't change. So, I cloned the git 
repository of the source at devicetree.org, did a make and make install. 
The version is still 1.4.0. The only reference Google has to the string in 
your readme (DTC 1.4.1-gXYZXYZXYZ) points to your readme. 

Thank you

BB-UART4-00A0.dtbo is present in /lib/firmware.  I’ve not had an issue before 
but this is a freshly flashed Jessie BBB.




dmesg shows the following which is the same error as per the first post when 
echoing into the slots.

I moved the "./dtc-overlay.sh" script right after the "check dtc" in
step 2... I'm hoping it should be more obvious to run it..

That means you have the wrong dtc compiler..

You need to re-do step 2 & 3:

https://github.com/beagleboard/bb.org-overlays/blob/master/readme.md

(i just updated the readme.md to make it more useful... (i think..))

in /boot/uEnv.txt

cape_enable=bone_capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART4

and reboot. ;)

(this is assuming /lib/firmware/BB-UART4-00A0.dtbo is installed)

Guys, please read the readme.md and /boot/uEnv.txt for examples on how
to disable the "hdmi/emmc"..

https://github.com/beagleboard/bb.org-overlays/blob/master/readme.md

under: "BBB compatibility issues"

There are also other combinations listed in /boot/uEnv.txt

Hi, I have followed this link: https://github.com/beagleboard/bb.org-overlays
It doesnt say it in there, but after the steps with
update_kernel.sh, you have to clone the directory
https://github.com/beagleboard/bb.org-overlays.git and go into it
for the next steps.

[beagleboard] Kernel 4.1.9 overlays not working

[bremenpl]

Hello there,
I have installed latest console version of Debian from eLinux.org. Its uses 
kernel version 4.1.9:
Linux beaglebone 4.1.9-ti-r20 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Oct 2 05:35:56 UTC 2015 
armv7l GNU/Linux

I was trying to load BB-UART5 overlay but I failed. I also dont see any 
overlays loaded I thought I would, like eMMC:
root@beaglebone:/sys/devices/platform/bone_capemgr# cat slots
 0: PF  -1 
 1: PF  -1 
 2: PF  -1 
 3: PF  -1 

When I tried to load the tree i got:
[ 3013.532495] bone_capemgr bone_capemgr: part_number 'BB-UART5', version 
'N/A'
[ 3013.532543] bone_capemgr bone_capemgr: slot #4: override
[ 3013.532561] bone_capemgr bone_capemgr: Using override eeprom data at 
slot 4
[ 3013.532579] bone_capemgr bone_capemgr: slot #4: 'Override Board 
Name,00A0,Override Manuf,BB-UART5'
[ 3013.533110] __of_adjust_tree_phandle_references: Could not find target 
property 'fixup' @/__local_fixups__
[ 3013.548518] bone_capemgr bone_capemgr: slot #4: Failed to resolve tree

And I have compiled the tds before and put the dtbo in /lib/firmware/

Has anything changed in the new kernel regarding dts loading and general 
usage?
I would apreciate all help regarding this topic!
