I have DS3231.dts:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;
/{
compatible = "ti,beaglebone", "ti,beaglebone-black";
part-number = "BBB-DS3231";
version = "00A0";
fragment@0 {
target = <&i2c2>;
__overlay__ {
pinctrl-0 = <&i2c2_pins>;
clock-frequency = <100000>;
status = "okay";
rtc: rtc@68 {
compatible = "dallas,ds1307";
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
reg = <0x68>;
};
};
};
};
')
I have compiled it and put the .dtbo in /lib/firmware:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# ls -l /lib/firmware/DS3231-00A0.dtbo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 699 Feb 22 21:35 /lib/firmware/DS3231-00A0.dtbo
# ')
Interactively it works, via bone_capemgr:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# echo DS3231 > /sys/devices/platform/bone_capemgr/slots')
produces:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[ 4082.171481] bone_capemgr bone_capemgr: part_number 'DS3231', version 'N/A'

So I ask to have it enabled at boot:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# cat /boot/uEnv.txt
optargs=coherent_pool=1M bone_capemgr.enable_partno=BBB-DS3231
# ')
and I get this:

The fact that 00A0 appears in dmesg leads me to believe the overlay file is being read (vs. not available yet during boot).
A workaround I discovered was to decompile /boot/dtbs/am335x-boneblack.dtb with
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'dtc -I dtb -O dts am335x-boneblack.dtb > am335x-boneblack.dts')
then insert the content of my overlay into am335x-boneblack.dts and recompile with
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'dtc -O dtb -o am335x-boneblack.dtb -b o am335x-boneblack.dts')
That gives me what I want after a reboot, but the question remains what procedure I should be using to include devices at boot.
Should bone_capemgr be working based on what I'm doing above? Is there something wrong maybe with the u-boot.img config that is causing this? I don't really understand the function of everything in /boot, if someone wants to enlighten me
