Does omap git have support for overo board.

Does omap git have support for overo board.

[Mohamed Thalib H]

Hi all,

I have pull the latest git from 
"http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap-2.6.git;a=summary". 
But couldn't find config file for overo . So I used 
"omap2plus_defconfig" and made sure the overo board is selected.

But the board didn't boot. It stopped after uncompressing kernel .

Bytes transferred = 3011064 (2df1f8 hex)
## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 82000000 ...
    Image Name:   Linux-2.6.38-rc2-13606-g448e9a6-
    Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
    Data Size:    3011000 Bytes =  2.9 MB
    Load Address: 80008000
    Entry Point:  80008000
    Verifying Checksum ... OK
    Loading Kernel Image ... OK
OK

Starting kernel ...

Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel. <---- Hangs after this.

Does the mainline has the support for overo board. Or am I missing 
something.

Last I checked it was working. Maybe you need to change bootargs ? At
least console has changed from ttyS2 to ttyO2, care to change that and
check ?
