I do not remember why. There was an explanation some months ago as to why, but the important question would be: "Will capemgr ever be in 3.14.x?" Then, I'm pretty sure the answer would be "NO!"
Charles' universal io is enabled in the latest TI 3.14.x with pin configuration available via sysfs. So there is an alternative. At least I think, as I use 3.8.x in my own "production" images, but I have been exploring the latest TI 3.14.x kernel available via APT. I can tell universal io is there. config-pin is not( at least as far as I can tell - sudo which config-pin returns nothing ). Anyway, I have a bit more to explore yet, but if what I am reading will work. Something like: *# echo <some_value> > <some_file>* should configure the pins fine. So long as they're available to use. Personally, I think this is great, Make it really easy to configure pins on an app by app basis. Anyway, get back to me in a few days, I'll possibly have a blog write-up on it next month.
