I’d like to easily specify device tree overlays to load on BeagleBone Black (and BeagleBone AI-64 once supported). It would be nice if the extension scan
support from u-boot was there, but at least I want to be able to easily manually specify overlays to load at boot time on Beagles.
Alex Gonzalez: Thanks for the request Jason - balenaCloud has a mechanism to specify custom device trees for some device types via the dashboard/API, but the device has first to boot and provision into the cloud with the default device tree.
There is an improvement being shaped to extend that support to preload a different device tree before booting the first time, and I will extend that to include specifying device tree overlays.
Once the improvement is shaped up it will need to compete with others for development time, but customization via device trees is an important feature so I expect it to be selected for implementation.
