Hi guys,

Just wanted to let anyone know who (like me) is trying to get SGX working 
on the BBB, and find this thread:

SGX now works fine in console (no x support) if you use branch 
"am33x-v3.12" from git://github.com/RobertCNelson/linux-dev.git (I just 
build with default configuration)

I've used it to sucessfully compile Graphics 
SDK 5_01_00_01 from: 
http://downloads.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/gfxsdk/5_01_00_01/index_FDS.html 
and the demos run great!

Installation & build instructions from 
here: 
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Graphics_SDK_Quick_installation_and_user_guide#Install_steps

Had some issues with it not finding the size of the framebuffer at first, 
but calling "fbset -xres 1280 -yres 720 -vxres 1280 -vyres 720" and 
reloading the omaplfb kernel modules solved it.


Cheers
--Olof
