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. Thanks for your help!
