I passed with same experience trying to run ubuntu with the capacitive and the black beaglebone. I can confirm steps above are very useful. But you will have two problems when it come to BBB: - That old version of kernel will hang on Beaglebone Black. - Capacitive touch will not work.
I started with 3.2.42-psp27 and then spent like 2 days merging changes Chipsee made to have things working on BBB. Can summarize changes to: - Copied the /arch/arm folder from Chipsee kernel. That helped the kernel to operate on BBB. - Copy the capacitive touch driver from under /drivers/input/touchscreen/ (ft5x0x_ts.c/h and eeti_ts.c). Please copy the folder in full as it also has the Kbuild, and Makefile changes. And while mearging I note all changes in the folder where made to support the touch. - During rebuild, and under the config tool; enable the touch driver under device drivers/input/touchscreen. - Install lxde gnu (apt-get install lxde). Without a gnu the screen will stay black. It could have a prompt somewhere outside the screen boundries you can test if you have a keyboard.. but none of my keyboards or mice worked with that kernel. I am investigating this now. I could had messed up something while merging. No changes to uEnv.txt It finally worked with touch. This is not the best solution anyway.. but just to move forward. My next milestone is to have it working with kernel 3.8.13.. anyone succeeded extracting the device tree partially or in full? -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
