Ok, I'll double check that the tag exists and update the patch.

I didn't get the fetcher to actually try git unless I added the method
explicitly. All my previous ?ries ended with wget errors.

Ok I'll lade if I can find out if http is available.

To be honest, I merely used what TI is using in their own BSP. I'll see
what it reads like.

I'll add a comment on this. Once again, the technique is taken from the
TI's BSP.

Ok, I'll fix that.

Thanks, I'm fox that too.

Does that make it install when using busybox init also?

Thanks for the feedback!

Cheers,
Anders

* [Buildroot] [PATCH 0/5] Upgrade BeagleBone kernel to 3.8

Hi,

(I'm resending this series from a subscribed address).

This patch series upgrades the kernel for the BeagleBone to 3.8.

The 3.8 kernel is taken from TI's own repo, and the actual branch/commit used
are the same as currently being used in their own BSP (see meta-ti for
OpenEmbedded / Yocto).

As the BB support is being mainlined, the old board-setup has been removed,
thus the 3.8 kernel requires the use of a device tree. (A DTS, am33x-bone.dts
is included in the kernel).

The new package, am33x-cm3, consists of the FW blob for the Cortex M3 on the
BB that handles the power management of the board. Without this firmware
loaded, even a simple `reboot` won't succeed. In the old 3.2 kernel, this was
compiled in as a part of the kernel, however, in the 3.8 kernel, it has to be
loaded during the runtime.

The last patch in the series (0005-beaglebone-enable-NFS-root.patch) is not
necessary; it's only my preferred way of testing.

Cheers,
Anders
