I'm using wheezy. GNU sed version 4.2.1. I see what's happening now. It looks like the uEnv.txt doesn't have quotes around the kernel version at all, so there shouldn't be any inner quotes. The only reason my kernel "update" worked was because the kernel version was the same, so the sed didn't ne

We remerge every week, so I believe we were already using the latest zz-uenv. The error was caused by trying to match single quotes in the sed command. This can be fixed by replacing the outermost single quotes with double quotes. Best, Alex On Fri, Sep 19, 2014 at 2:47 AM, Alexander Hayman wro

Thanks Robert. I've started using the 3.14 kernel (although the less bleeding edge bone8 version), and I built a custom dtb to enable both the 4Dcape-43t and a secondary non-pin-conflicting uart using your bb-kernel repo. It's worked beautifully. Apologies to Scott for not being able to follo

I checked the difference between the dts's. It looks like the only difference that matters is the panel-info { bpp } value. BB-BONE has a bpp of 24. BB-VIEW has a bpp of 32. The display-timings information is all identical. Would it then make sense that the image is scaled and the colors a
