Beaglebone kernel/u-boot/userspace

In light of the recent discussions today, I have been spurred into 
having another go at getting my beaglebone working with poky/yocto. 
Instead of adding a whole layer I cherry picked out the important bits 
(mainly the kernel package and u-boot) and got a build that would complete.

Upon, trying to boot my beaglebone I recieve the following error:

    INIT: version 2.88 booting
    Starting udevtar: short read

    Starting Bootlog daemon: bootlogd: cannot deduce real console device
    bootlogd.

    done.

Is this an issue with my userspace setup, my u-boot setup or indeed the 
kernel itself?

A point in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Cheers all, I have been enjoying the discussions today.
Jack.

I've not seen anything like you describe but I can say that I recently
checked out master and didn't do anything different to it and was able
to build a core-image-base for BeagleBoard just fine without having to
mess with any other layers.

It is my understanding that you only have to mess with meta-ti if you
are working with TI processors other than what is on the BeagleBoard.

Regards,

Brian

Hi Brian,

Thanks for taking time to reply but take note that I attempting to build 
for the beagleBONE, I do also have a beagleboard which I can build for 
without using additional layers.

Cheers,
Jack.

Oops, my bad!  I had BeagleBoard on the brain today.  Sorry!

You're ahead of me.  I haven't tried generating new image for the Bone
yet ... it is still sitting here with the code that came with it :(
... too many boards, not enough time!

Regards,

Brian

That is not entirely correct statement. While you are correct that 
OE-Core/Yocto provide basic support for BeagleBoard, as a reference platform, 
it does not have all the peripherals and subsystems supported besides the 
baseport, such as SGX Graphics, DSP and some of the extension. For any of that 
you would need to add meta-ti layer and use it's BeagleBoard support.
