Hello, I am trying to go through the same process and bolt the 3.2 kernel into a Debian or Ubuntu root file system.
I got some problems so far regarding the partition type. Can you please show me the steps you used to get this work? Thanks in advance :) On Wednesday, October 30, 2013 8:09:57 PM UTC+2, [email protected] wrote: > > Hello all, > > Over the last few days I've been trying to get the 3.2 Linux Kernel > (AM335x-PSP_04.06.00.11) that comes with TI's 06.00.00.00 SDK to work on > the Beagle Bone Black with a Debian root file system.
