Okay, out of the box, that image shipped with 3.14.x, so you need to
downgrade to 3.8.x to use "capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART2"

cd /opt/scripts/tools/
git pull
sudo ./update_kernel.sh --stable --bone-channel

Only edit /boot/uEnv.txt

cape_enable=capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART2

So /boot/uEnv.txt is the main script, /uEnv.txt is just there for
compatibility with old eMMC's..

If you look at /uEnv.txt closely, it reads /boot/uEnv.txt...
