[arm-allstar] 1.5 version

[David McGough]

Hi Russ,

No, version 1.5 is only for the Raspberry Pi 2 or 3 boards. Originally I 
had planned to upgrade the BBB image, too, but ran into compatibility 
problems between the boot code installed in the on-board mmc memory and 
recent kernels---basically, it was going to require re-flashing the mmc 
memory...While re-flashing can certainly be done, it's easy to brick the 
BBB, requiring a complex recovery procedure.

And, with RPi3 boards at the $35 price point and BBB boards getting hard
to find and much more expensive, just upgrading to an RPi3 is the
currently recommended plan.

73, David KB4FXC
