After struggling with a Compulab CM3530 board to no avail I purchased a Beagleboard-xM. Out of the box the demo image included came right up. I managed to get uvcvideo working, installed gstreamer, everything seemed OK except cmemk.ko will not install overlapping the kernel.
The uEnv.txt options are ignored, I have tried every possible combination and gave up assuming the kernel is ignoring my mem=99M@0x80000000 mem=384M@0x88000000 arguments (yes I have tried countless permutations and yes loadmodules.sh is inside this gap). So then I built a Narcissus image with Gnome, etc, all included. It boots only to: usb0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1 on the serial console and the DVI is the Angstrom image and hangs there. Pinging it gives a kernel error in sync with the ping. I have no way to find out where or why it hangs... I have built two times and to no avail. I then had Narcissus build a console image. It does allow me to create a 16M window but uvcvideo refuses to work despite every attempt. modprobe uvcvideo gives no found, insmod seems to work but camera is not detected. I am now trying the setup-scripts but there is no documents telling me how to get gnome built into this. So, is it actually possible to get a working image for the BB-xM? I have spent days hacking on this and all I want to do is stream video and audio over the network. Where in this mountain of stuff can I specify the exact options for my build? Under the setup-scripts Meta-Ti there are 6 or 8 kernel version, it is endless.. Is this documented anywhere? ALso, am I missing something on the sd scripts? It failes to build the rootfs partition on every attempt.... I end up having to fiddle with that as well. I really had hoped Narcissus would work but apparently it is a bust as well. I am at the point of finding a new platform or OS for this design.... Sorry to be cynical but does any of this actually work as advertised? Any help would be appreciated... -- Dave Thomas _______________________________________________ Angstrom-distro-devel mailing list Angstrom-distro-devel@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-devel
