Pandaboard & meta-ti

[Eric Bénard]

Hi,

I've tried to build a xfce-nm-image for a Pandaboard (ES in the present
case) and it boots fine with the generated MLO, u-boot & uImage but I
don't manage to get a video output on both HDMI connectors : is there
something special to do here ?
(Same thing with systemd-image : I don't get any framebuffer output)

Also, it seems that the sdcard_image failed to build : is there a
specific setting to get the sdcard_image for Pandaboard which would
avoid to have to manually create the SDCard's partitions ?

Last question : why does conf/machine/include/omap4.inc require
conf/machine/include/tune-cortexa8.inc instead of tune-cortexa9 ?

Thanks
Eric

Try booting with a monitor attached to a port, the EDID probe should pick it up.

Not sure, I never tried to use that class for pandaboard :)

There's no real benefit from using A9 tunefiles over the A8 ones, but changing it shouldn't hurt.

from memory that's what I did, the monitor is a standard TFT. I'll try
to provide more info when I try again as this is a home project ;-)

Thanks,
