Except ncurses which doesn't build properly all packages in the repo updated and rebuilt using the new toolchain, not just copied over from 6.x/7.x repos. Dependencies revised, may be different to previous versions. It means limited number of packages in the repo, e.g. Xorg and graphical stuff are missing.

Bela,

I did not try this yet with this beta that you just posted,  I was typing this as you locked the other thread......

I was testing the userspace binaries after I packed them.   I wanted to play with loading and removing overlays after boot.


--- Code: ---tc@piCorePlayer:/mnt/mmcblk0p1/overlays$ sudo dtoverlay -a -v -d /mnt/mmcblk0p1/overlays
run_cmd: mount -t configfs none '/config/device-tree'
mount: mount point /config/device-tree does not exist
* Failed to mount configfs - 2
tc@piCorePlayer:/mnt/mmcblk0p1/overlays$ sudo mkdir /config/device-tree
tc@piCorePlayer:/mnt/mmcblk0p1/overlays$ sudo dtoverlay -a -v -d /mnt/mmcblk0p1/overlays
* configfs overlays folder not found - incompatible kernel

--- End code ---

found very little with a quick google search....but found references to mounting the configfs manually


--- Code: ---sudo mount -t configfs none /sys/kernel/config
sudo dtoverlay -a -d /mnt/mmcblk0p1/overlays
<list of all overlays is printed>

--- End code ---

dtoverlay now runs, but does not show any overlays loaded.

Try beta5 and the current VC set.

I pulled the vc tonight to pack, so it should line up with the kernel you pulled.   So I'll give it a test tomorrow. 

The other vc binaries I tested worked fine.

Paul_123:
same result...but I did some reading on the rpi web site, and seems that while the utilities may exist, it may be premature to be doing that.
