Re: [Libreboot] BBB kernel

[dch]

It sort-of worked, but another isue arose. I got spidev working with the 
compiled .dtbo, although I had to 
`echo BB-SPI0-01 > /sys/devices/platform/bone_capemgr/slots` 
instead of 
`echo BB-SPI0-01 > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.*/slots`
which I found strange but didn't give thought to. 
However trying to use /dev/spidev1.0 with flashrom on -r or -w lead to me 
getting a warning that flashrom
had been stuck for 120 deconds which would never go away (fortunately only 
happened during reads, which 
meant it could be "safely" force rebooted mid-process). I then tried to updae 
the debian kernel on my BBB
to 4.5.0-rc7-bone3 and then spidev stopped working, again.

Any ideas? On either how to troubleshoot what's wrong or how to get a working 
kernel ver?

Thanks
