Can't activate UART on custom BBB board

[koopaw...@gmail.com]

Hi !

I made a card which is the exact copy of the BBB architecture (same CPU, same RAM chip, same power supply) but without HDMI and flash memory chips (to meet size requirements). With Robert Nelson's advices, I've build a Debian Jessie image without board ID checking and I succeed in booting on it (thanks again Robert !)

Now I'd like to activate UART1 but I can't. I've tried to install overlays with 

https://github.com/beagleboard/bb.org-overlays 

and put at the end of /boot/uEnv.txt

capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART1

like I did with a real BBB but the answer of 

dmesg | grep tty

is  

[    0.000000] Kernel command line: console=ttyO0,115200n8 quiet root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 ro rootfstype=ext4 rootwait coherent_pool=1M quiet cape_universal=enable

Do you have any idea what's wrong ?

Thanks
