>One of the unusual parts of learning technology in general is the 'moving target' nature of the field. Tutorials that are very practical in nature are obsolete very quickly when the complier/operating system/drivers etc are updated.

	The BBB is especially afflicted with that... The earliest documentation
is based upon Angstrom OS, later stuff on Debian Wheezy with run-time
cape-manager to load kernel device tree overlays... While the last year or
two have seen the drop of the cape-manager and a move to u-Boot loading of
device tree overlays. And let's not think about the two competing PRU
