I've been testing Debian Jessie with my LCD cape project and I've found it to work nicely with the 4.1 kernel. The sigrok software BeagleLogic distributes has not been updated as the glib version bundled with Wheezy was lower than what newer versions of sigrok required to compile, hence, instead of backporting the newer glib versions to Wheezy, I'd be moving the entire setup on to Debian Jessie now.

I have also set up and compiled the latest released 4.1 kernel for the BeagleBone Black. For those of you not aware of it, the BeagleBone Cape Manager is back in 4.1 with a bang, so I can add support for my BeagleLogic cape as well :)

Along with this I'm testing the work of my mentee in this year's Google Summer of Code with BeagleBoard.org who is working on porting the remoteproc functionality to the newer kernels.

BeagleLogic would still run on the 3.8.13 kernel for a whille until the framework is at a point where I can look at porting it to the 4.1 kernels. These changes will happen over the next months after which you can expect a BeagleLogic edition system image with the software installed in package form (apt-get updates), just flash it on the SD Card, put on the cape and happy debugging!

And about the capes, I'm happy to have received responses from all over the world, so I think I can talk about the first batch of the assembled capes soon, so stay tuned!
