Vayu Cape SW images and drivers
Vayu capes is fully supported for Debian Wheezy ARMHF (Official Page). The kernel tree is based on Robert C Nelson git tree and all the commits are based on the latest kernel. Kindly follow his wiki for detailed steps on how to compile the kernel from scratch. BBB-RobertCNelson-Main Wiki.
We have recompiled an SD Card flashable image for easy plug and play demonstration of the Vayu 2G and 3G capes. Additionally we have outlined detailed step by step compilation of this images based on BBB-RobertCNelson-Main Wiki. If you are using any other distribution other than debian, the kernel patches are listed, kindly recompile your kernel based on directed patches, enable PPS support (if your capes have GPS timing module) and you should be ready to go.
We know in world of Linux, things get a bit complicated, we have FAQ's which may help you to unblock, kindly follow these.
Ready to use Debian Wheezy downloadable image
