Robert, so . . . still no cape support, and I at least need I2C, SPI UART, and possibly a few other things ( definitely standard GPIO ). Would enabling these features be a major undertaking, or would someone such as myself who is new to embedded Linux be able to work out the wrinkles ?
I'd be willing to give it a shot either way, but I would need some guidance as how to proceed.
