3.14 doesn't support overlays, but the major capes will be supported by custom *.dtb's.. For the lcd7-01-00a3 you'd override the default dtb with: dtb=<device>-lcd7-01-00a3.dtb in uEnv.txt Next, if you want to customize the *.dtb "without rebuilding" the kernel: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/dtb-rebuilder/tree/3.14-ti You can see, how i've been trying to "help" users: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/dtb-rebuilder/blob/3.14-ti/src/arm/am335x-boneblack.dts#L30 Regards, -- Robert Nelson http://www.rcn-ee.com/ -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
