I have Sheevaplug here which is currently running wheezy. The last time
I upgraded uboot on that device as before the installation of squeeze
some time ago. If there's anything I can do, I'd love to help getting
jessie to run on that device.
However I'm new to the topic of DTBs. I can see that there are several
dtb files included in the linux-image-3.16.0-4-kirkwood but I'm not sure
what needs to be done for the correct one to be appended (or if that's
supposed to happen automatically).
So I guess the first step would be to download the jessie u-boot
package, get the u-boot.kwb from the sheevaplug directory and upgrade
u-boot. Do the upgrade instructions on your web site still apply to this
version?
After that worked, I would need instructions what to do test if the DT
is passed to the kernel. If it comes down to just upgrading u-boot and
following the howto on your website until something doesn't work as
expected, I can try that of course.
