Thanks a lot, Sean!
>From you answer, it seems like what I am trying to do (i.e. applying that
patch to am335x.dts to set dr_mode to "peripheral") makes sense, though for
some reason it does not get applied.
I have been careful in checking that the dts file disappears after I
cleansstate u-boot, and that it gets patched in the do_patch step. I have
also checked that u-boot.img disappears from the deploy folder when I
cleansstate, and gets rebuilt after the patch is applied. And finally, I
have made sure that the cleansstate on my image removed it from the deploy
folder.
Moreover, I have `find build | grep am335x.dts` to check if I was patching
the right file (which should be ensured by the fact that I patch it in the
bbappend of the u-boot recipe).
My fear is that for some reason, it does not use am335x.dts to build the
device tree but something else entirely, which would mean that I am
patching something that is not used.
>From u-boot.img, or ideally even from my final image I flash on the sdcard,
is there a way for me to see what is used to define the device tree?
Best,
