minimal yocto images not booting on Beagleboard-xM rev B

minimal yocto images not booting on Beagleboard-xM rev B

[G Rajender]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1380 bytes --]

Hi,

I am new to Yocto project and Beagleboard.

I am using Beagleboard-xM rev B. I got the information about Yocto project by search. Yocto is a good open platform for Embedded developers for target specific architectures.

I have started working on Yocto project to build a LTP (Linux Test Project) Test frame work for Beagleboard-xM rev B. I have downloaded the Yocto release 1.0.1 and Beagleboard-xM BSP from the Yocto website. I have installed the Yocto project poky build tool and demo image in my Host PC (Ubuntu 10.04)as per poky quick start guide.

Now I am trying to execute the meta-bsp (meta-beagleboard) binaries (built images) on beagleboard-xM rev B as per README. Hardware file. But the beagleboard-xM revision B is not booting with theses BSP images.

Also I want add the Beagleboard BSP to the BBlayers of poky. I am unable to understand the procedure explained in BSP developer's guide.

Can anyone suggest or share the experiences about above problems.

Thanks in advance and looking for your kind response.


Thanks and regards,

Rajender.G

What does "not booting" mean?  What errors are you getting?

Re: minimal yocto images not booting on Beagleboard-xM rev B

[G Rajender]

Hi Gary,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I have followed the steps given in README.hardware. I have copied all the required images to SD card, inserted in to SD/MMC slot of Beagleboard-xM rev B, connected the serial cable to minicom on Host PC (Ubuntu 10.04) and given power to the board. But on minicom i am not getting any bootup messages and echos etc...

Can you please suggest the steps to follow on how to execute meta-beagleboard BSP pre-built binaries on Beagleboard-xM rev B.

Thank you much for your valuable time spending on this. Looking for your kind response.


Thanks and regards,

Rajender.G

Hi Rajender,

Welcome to the Yocto Project.

We just recently completed a major overhaul to the meta-yocto
beagleboard BSP, bringing it closer in line with the
meta-texasinstruments BSP. I have tested on a C4 and an xM Rev A. I have
reports of it working on rev B and not working on rev C, which we are
looking into.

For the best Yocto beagleboard support, I suggest building from the git
repository until the 1.1 release later this year.

[G Rajender]

Hi Darren,

Thank you very much for your reply.
now i am confident that meta-beagleboard BSP images will work on Beagleboard-xM rev B.
Can you please suggest the steps to follow on how to build from the git repository and execute on Beagleboard-xM rev B.
Thank you much for your valuable time spending on this. Looking for your kind response.

Thanks and regards,

Rajender.G

The process is the same as it is for building from a release tarball,
the only difference is how you get the source. Rather than unpacking the
release tarball, just use git to clone the repository:

$ git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git

Then cd into the new poky directory and follow the quick start guide.

Well, for the best beagleboard support you'd still need the offcial beagleboard layer (http://git.angstrom-distribution.org/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/meta-texasinstruments/) and use angstrom as distro
