Software .dtb

Can you add a section to the software area that deals with building the pru firmware and loading the proper overlay with the 4.0 kernel. I have updated my kernel from your image but seem to be having issues with the overlay loading and the pru's working.
Hi Alex,
it is not necessary to build the PRU firmware. If you are using Kernel 4.0 you have to do:
git clone https://github.com/RobertCNelson/dtb-rebuilder.git
cd dtb-rebuilder
git checkout 4.0.x
make clean
make
sudo make install
After that you have to modify the /boot/uEnv.txt
file.
sudo nano /boot/uEnv.txt
Add a line:
dtb=am335x-boneblack-bbbmini.dtb
Now reboot.
Thank you will try that out. Is there any chance of me being able to get
the latest revision of the pcb? I will probably try to get something 3d
printed as to not damage the cape and the beaglebone black.

I Alex,
the Rev 1.4 boards unfortunately not arrived here until now. I will inform you when they are available. You can also produce your own batch, take a look on this description:
https://github.com/mirkix/BBBMINI-PCB#pcb
I finally took a deeper look. the bbbmini is not included the dtb-builder repo it is included the bb-overlays repo. Now I am wondering if I should be cloning that repo and attempting to load the cape versus the dtb. will report back.
Hi Alex,
it is in the dtb-rebuilder
repo as I have written above. https://github.com/RobertCNelson/dtb-rebuilder/blob/4.0.x/src/arm/am335x-boneblack-bbbmini.dts
it is only available in the 4.0.x branch so cloning and building will not get you the dtb
