Yocto on Pandaboard FTW

Yocto on Pandaboard FTW

[maniacbug]

Hi.  Just wanted to say that I received my Pandaboard A4 in the mail yesterday, and this morning core-image-minimal and core-image-sato are running great, using the following configuration.

OE Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION        = "1.15.1"
TARGET_ARCH       = "arm"
TARGET_OS         = "linux-gnueabi"
MACHINE           = "pandaboard"
DISTRO            = "poky"
DISTRO_VERSION    = "1.2"
TUNE_FEATURES     = "armv7a vfp neon cortexa9"
TARGET_FPU        = "vfp-neon"
meta              
meta-yocto        = "master:cda59a9fb77544c85410cc6192e37e7c8d4c6e44"
meta-ti           = "(nobranch):30fb40ebc13614a74c2e237927c60ac43e01d1bc"

Sato came up great on my 7-inch 1280x720 display, and I've spent 30 minutes playing 'bridges' :)

I noticed in earlier postings that using meta-ti and poky together is still somewhat new or under development.  Is there anything I should test or try out to help the effort along?

Sorry for not replying earlier - just wanted to thank you for bringing the 
good news! :)

Just keep in mind, that support for Pandaboard in meta-ti falls under the 
"best effort" category, since its kernel is being pulled from Ubuntu-based 
product and adapted to OE/Yocto. Don't get discouraged if something is broken 
or is not fully supported. And of course, patches are always welcome! :)
