One more thing - I'm running with external power and have
a USB hub with a number of devices attached. Sadly, none
of these are being recognized.

Interesting. I've applied a patch from Koen's tree to enable the
on-board hub of the xM, and I've heard of others complain about finicky
USB behavior on the C3. As I said, I don't have a C3 in hand (yet), so I
could use some help in this area.

Even better, there is a proper BSP with beagleboard support: http://gitorious.org/angstrom/angstrom-layers/commits/master

How is this used? I tried just adding a pointer to that tree
in my conf/bblayers.conf. I also tried moving that tree into
my poky sources at the same level as meta-emenlow, etc. Both
attempts immediately yielded this error:
ERROR: Unable to parse conf/bitbake.conf: Could not include required file conf/machine/include/omap3.inc
Perhaps you can give some guidance for how to use this?
Thanks

Obviously this is not what I'm looking for.
What I had wanted to test was your layering on top of my extant
Poky/Yocto environment. I don't want to start over as I have my
own layers that work just fine with Poky.

I obviously misunderstood your request on the angstrom mailinglist on how to setup angstrom on top of yocto as a request on how to setup angstrom on top of yocto. I'm sorry that I fail to understand such obvious things. I will from now on stop trying to understand your requests to avoid any confusion and perceived wrongdoing on my part.

That would be reasonable except that this entire thread was on
the Poky mailing list :-) If you look closely, I asked about
running the BeagleBoard on the latest Poky/Yocto and you replied
with this info about your angstrom layers.

Gary, you're better off ignoring Koen.
Apparently he hasn't taken his medicine this morning.
And, frankly speaking, the reply above is among hismore friendly ones.
His mission in life seems to be to drive everyone away from OE (unless
of course you're one of his fan-boys). Guess he tries to pull the same
trick with poky/yocto.
Sometimes I really pity Richard, having to deal with someone like Koen..
And remember, have fun!

Until now we've managed to keep the Poky/Yocto lists clear of this kind
of discussion. I'd like to point out:
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Community_Guidelines
and
http://www.yoctoproject.org/tos
Specifically, its usually better to keep discussions to technical
grounds and not make them personal.
Cheers,
Richard

My sincere apologies.
I'll try to do better next time.

This one is known, we are balancing the fact that the
beagle board exists in multiple kernel versions and
2.6.37 is a transition point for the serial .. so the
docs haven't been update with that change yet.

Not missing anything. We are moving onto some other
beagleboard variants, so left the forward port of the
beagleboard at mainline status (which is enough to meet
the existing demo requirements). So whatever has made it
to the mainline 2.6.37 kernel works, which is largely
what you are seeing.
What we are building up for the supported boards is a
common set of features (tracing, boot media, filesystems,
configuration, etc) that are uniform across architectures
and boards. That in turn extends our ability to build,
validate and maintain many more boards that would otherwise
be possible.
On top of the common feature set, comes the board specific
functionality. That functionality is selected / ported from
the best sources (and is hopefully something on its
way to mainline). That porting effort typically comes
after we have the base solidified and a board is of suitable
interest to have this deeper support (or if patches are
contributed).
Anyway, that doesn't answer your question, but explains
what/why things may appear to be in an early phase of
support.
Cheers,
Bruce

Thank you for testing with the C3, I only have an xM at my desk, so the
extra testing is appreciated.

I am aware of this one and have a patch series I'm working on. There are
a couple of gotcha's here. The first, setting up inittab to give a
serial console, is easy and addressed by changing SERIAL_CONSOLE,
conditionally by kernel. The second is more difficult: u-boot hardcodes
the default environment to "console=ttyS2" in omap3-beagle.h. There are
a couple ways to address it:
1) conditionally patch u-boot based on the content of SERIAL_CONSOLE
2) add a boot.scr to the deploy files of u-boot which provides a
modified environment.
3) just update the docs and make people do it manually
I'm working on #1 at the moment, but have been running into various
build issues which have been slowing my down. Once this is functional,
I'll make my patches available in contrib and would appreciate some
testing on the C3 if you can make the time.

I haven't investigated this yet, but hope to.

Angstrom appears to have a high quality and complete BSP for the
Beagleboard. At present, poky has basic machine support for booting,
serial console, and networking (on the bbxm).

Nope, we just aren't quite that far along yet, but we are actively
working on it.
