OK I’m still somewhat new to using the I/O interfaces on the BeagleboneBlack. I’m currently interested in utilizing the 3.13 Kernel. I realize that there is no capemgr for the newer kernel.
- Is there a capmgr in the works for 3.13 ?
- I’ve taken a brief look at Roberts really simple cape manager https://github.com/RobertCNelson/rscm and it looks very promising. It seems to currently be usable with I2C/SPI/UARTs. Is this something that is being actively worked on. Will there be a sample patches for GPIO (perhaps only one or two example pins) , PWM and ADC added in the future?
- Also I’ve looked at the solution of including device tree overlays in the uEnv.txt file. Is it possible to include more than one .dtbo file in the uEnv.txt file? If so I’d appreciate it if someone can show me an example of the syntax.
Thanks!

i haven't seen anyone work on it. we need some of the foundation in the
kernel, which is also changing.

Ran into a road block, it works for simple things i2c/uart/gpio but ran
into hard locks when patching in spi..

If i ever find a free weekend (it's been a crazy busy month) where i can
just hack on something, I'd like to do a <board>-<cape>.dtb repo.. for
v3.13.x+
