Hi Robert, thanks for all the effort you put into this.

I'm trying the 2015-01-06 testing release with the 3.14 kernel and have 
some issues and questions:

   1. Since there are SGX modules availible, does that mean that hardware 
   accelerated graphics are working on this image?
   2. I'm having trouble understanding the new devicetree setup. I've had a 
   custom devicetreeoverlay in the old image that was working as expected but 
   I don't know how to activate it with the new kernel. Though I was able to 
   find this <http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Capes_3.8_to_3.14#Custom_dtb> 
   page, I'm not sure how to interpret the bulletpoints in there to get it 
   working.
   3. While playing around with the above mentioned image, I ran into some 
   problems where I don't know if they are bugs or if I did something wrong:
      1. After flashing the image to my eMMC, then running the 
      update_kernel.sh script and rebooting, the time and date of my BBB is set 
      somewhere in march 2015 (in the future). This causes errors with some 
      utilities complaining about dates in the future, like apt-get.
      2. Also related to apt-get, but have also seen wget complaining about 
      invalid https certificates. Don't know what causes this but it's very 
      annoying and I don't know of a fix to this.
      3. The USB wifi dongle I am using (Ralink 2870) is working fine, but 
      sometimes the troughput gets very low (like 5-10kb/s) and dmesg shows 
TONS 
      of this error message:
      [10001.306251] ieee80211 phy0: rt2800usb_entry_txstatus_timeout: 
      Warning - TX status timeout for entry 9 in queue 2
      Also, the syslog daemon is shooting up in CPU usage due to these 
      messages coming in every couple milli seconds.
      Propably related to this problem: When booting up, my BBB is making a 
      80 second pause while trying to load the firmware for the dongle. Here's 
a 
      section of my dmesg:
      [    9.984258] ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00_set_rt: Info - RT chipset 5390, 
      rev 0502 detected
      [    9.998530] ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00_set_rf: Info - RF chipset 5370 
      detected
      [   10.019158] ieee80211 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm

Perhaps you could shed some light on the issues or point me to a tutorial.

Thanks, Sebastian
