cape-universal and console image?

[Drew Fustini]

Hi Robert -

Is the Debian Jessie console image expected to work with cape-universal?

I just tried the console image from:
https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2017-02-12/console/

No cape-universal overlay appears in slots:

# cat /sys/devices/platform/bone_capemgr/slots
0: PF---- -1
1: PF---- -1
2: PF---- -1
3: PF---- -1

/boot/uEnv.txt seems like should cause cape-universal to load:

uname_r=4.4.48-ti-r88
cmdline=coherent_pool=1M net.ifnames=0 quiet cape_universal=enable

I also noticed that config-pin is not installed:

# config-pin
-bash: config-pin: command not found

for reference, this is github issue that brought this to my attention
https://github.com/adafruit/adafruit-beaglebone-io-python/issues/136

thanks,
drew

cape-universal never did load an overlay that I ever saw, and to be honest I do not know what it does.

uname_r=4.4.48-ti-r88
cmdline=coherent_pool=1M net.ifnames=0 quiet cape_universal=enable

config-pin works fine. I've never seen it installed by default on any image, but I also only use console images. Not sure why anyone would raise an issue on github, when they could simply wget the script, chmod +x it, and be on their way . . .
