debian testing: 2017-01-03 (U-Boot Cape Manager edition)

[Robert Nelson]

Howdy!

So here we go, an Image with U-Boot Cape Manager installed.

http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#2017-01-03

U-Boot version:

U-Boot SPL 2017.01-rc3-00003-gd2796a1cca (Jan 03 2017 - 12:44:32)
Trying to boot from MMC1

U-Boot 2017.01-rc3-00003-gd2796a1cca (Jan 03 2017 - 12:44:32 -0600),
Build: jenkins-github_Bootloader-Builder-498

U-Boot will read the i2c eeprom on each of the 4 possible capes:

BeagleBone: cape eeprom: i2c_probe: 0x54:
BeagleBone: cape eeprom: i2c_probe: 0x55:
/lib/firmware/BB-CAPE-DISP-CT4-00A0.dtbo
BeagleBone: cape eeprom: i2c_probe: 0x56:
BeagleBone: cape eeprom: i2c_probe: 0x57:

It's of course disabled by default, to enable it open /boot/uEnv.txt

###EXPERIMENTAL###
#enable_uboot_overlays=1
#dtb_overlay=/lib/firmware/BB-UART2-00A0.dtbo

and un-comment enable_uboot_overlays=1

Starting kernel ...

If you'd like to enable a 5th cape, or one without an i2c eeprom, use
the dtb_overlay variable, for example to load BB-UART2-00A0.dtb

dtb_overlay=/lib/firmware/BB-UART2-00A0.dtbo

ToDo:

Split out eMMC, hdmi-video, hdmi-audio, ethernet, wl18xx, add a pin
manager so we know what to load..

Fix the /uEnv.txt to have backwards compatbilty... (for right now, you
have to [sudo rm /uEnv.txt])

We should be able to now, it'll need a v4.4.x-ti or v4.9.x+ kernel, see:

BB-HDMI-TDA998x-00A0.dts

https://github.com/beagleboard/bb.org-overlays/blob/master/src/arm/BB-HDMI-TDA998x-00A0.dts

When loaded via u-boot, video came up at work. (no hdmi-audio devices at work)

You must be working on the it66121 cape?

Please create two overlays..

BB-HDMI-IT66121-00A0.dts (video & audio)
BB-NHDMI-IT66121-00A0.dts (no audio)

that board had an eeprom on it right? (i have one at my desk at work)..

Yay!!! that original it66121 driver we had for 3.8.x just looked way
to yucky... I'm glad you got it working on later kernel's!
