LCD DTBO is not loaded at boot #2

Closed osresearch closed 6 years ago

It would be great if the fb were available at boot time so that we could see the progress. Adding it to uEnv.txt results in an "file not found" error. perhaps it needs to be in the initrd?

The problem is that the DTBO loaded at boot must exist in the initrd and the debian initrd generating scripts didn't include the /lib/firmware directory. https://github.com/beagleboard/bb.org-overlays/blob/master/tools/dtbo should be copied into /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/.

There is probably a way to use this repo to make it work more smoothly: https://github.com/beagleboard/bb.org-overlays/blob/master/install.sh
