It is time to make another big software push for BeagleBone Black. We have several recent updates from Robert, including managing the kernel as Debian packages.
To try out the new code, use one of the recent images from: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#2014-08-05 Then, you'll need to switch to the 3.14 kernel: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.14.17-ti-r10 Report issues to one of these trackers: https://github.com/beagleboard/linux http://bugs.elinux.org/projects/debian-image-releases The device tree overlay support is still under development as is built-in 'config-pin/cape-universal' support, so static configuration of the .dtb is currently required. Your help is requested to make sure the default .dtb file includes as many configurations as possible that can be enabled from userspace. Update summary: * Repo moved to https://github.com/beagleboard/linux * Layout of Debian images now enable 'apt-get' updates to the kernel, but you need to grab a newer starting distro image * The false-start on the cape-firmware repo has been abandoned and device tree overlays are now part of the kernel tree * The kernel currently uses DMA for the USB and includes SGX support I've setup a buildbot hosted at http://builds.beagleboard.org, but I'm still working on getting it to handle pull requests, multiple branches, etc. like the MachineKit folks are doing, as well as pushing out the builds. After a bit more feedback, I'll push out some blog posts, etc. to get more people involved.
