Hi, I grabbed my old BeagleBoard B4 (+ TinCantools Add-on for Ethernet Connectivity). It's an ancient board but I wanted to give it a shot and install an actual (Gentoo-) Linux on it.
For the kernel compilation I followed: http://beagleboard.org/linux with slight corrections for the beagleBoard (omap3 beagle config and dts files). After installing to a MiniSD card (yes, that's ancient as well :-) ) u-boot gives me this: reading uImage 3557767 bytes read in 3006 ms (1.1 MiB/s) ## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 80300000 ... Image Name: Linux-3.8.13+ Image Type: ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) Data Size: 3557703 Bytes = 3.4 MiB Load Address: 80008000 Entry Point: 80008000 Verifying Checksum ... OK Loading Kernel Image ... OK Starting kernel ... Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel. Before starting to dig into Kernel startup code/Kernel configuration: do dts files already come into play in this early stage ?
