Robert, I thank you very much for any insight you can provide. For now, here are some comments.
Thanks again, Chris ----- They can't apparently run the BB with the cape installed. Once attached it fails to boot. It is the WL1837MOD board. There is also a mention that to run it, it must not run from the eMMC BB flash, it must be run from an SD card. They have tried this also. It also states that to force the BB to boot from the SD card , must press the S2 button on power up to force booting from SD and not eMMC. However, it seems that whenever there is a SD present it boots to it (not 100% sure of this but think it's the case). We just need to know how to edit the boot file. Comments are: " set: disable_uboot_overlay_emmc=1 uboot_overlay_addr0=/lib/firmware/BB-GATEWAY-WL1837-00A0.dtbo in /boot/uEnv.txt" There is a line: "#disable_uboot_overlay_emmc=1" Uncomment this line? Seems like the step needed here. Next, there is: "#uboot_overlay_addr0=/lib/firmware/<file0>.dtbo" Uncomment and modify to be the above line? This seems to be what to do here also. Then boot to SD card while holding S2 after saving this? Does the line enable_uboot_overlays=1 stay as is? They will try this and get back either way.
