Ok, so given that it might actually damage hardware to run with the
wrong dtb, I've written up a few UNTESTED patches to support multiple
DTB-Id entries:
* copy a .dtb file to /boot in addition to the /boot/dtb-${version}
file, named using the ${fdtfile} variable.
* Add support to several boot script templates to first check for
/boot/${fdtfile}-${version} and fall back to /boot/dtb-${version}.
* Allows for multiple DTB-Id files listed in the db, the last one listed
is copied to /boot/dtb-${version} for backwards compatibility.
* The fourth patch adds the appropriate DTB-Id entry for BeagleBone
white to coexist despite the same Machine ID as BeagleBone Black.
With those applied, then a separate stanza for the BeagleBone Black only
portion should work without ambiguity.
These might be a bit invasive for this point in the release cycle, but
they also aren't terribly large patches... I can do some further
testing if it seems like the approach is worth pursuing at this point.
live well,
vagrant
