Looking back, I moved from PandaBoard -> WandBoard for BeagleBoard.org's build infacature.. Dual A9/USB vs Quad A9/SATA... yeah.. sata was more stable then USB.. I think it was around v5.4 lts I gave up on Panda's... SO 5.4.x would have been the last time I personally used the panda's on mainline.. Digging more, yay for omappedia! ;) https://omappedia.com/wiki/PandaBoard_Revisions I never personally saw the A5 or A6 rev's in my hand.. What's scary, teh A4's changed the hdmi pins: https://git.ti.com/gitweb?p=ti-linux-kernel/ti-linux-kernel.git;a=blob;f=arch/arm/boot/dts/omap4-panda-a4.dts;h=f1a6476af3716489007c12141d06f208ec2ebc94;hb=refs/heads/ti-linux-4.14.y Yet no gpio id change..
