The problem starts with the version of u-boot they are using. By cloning
some of the functionality of u-boot-denx you might be able to get it to
work. But ... it's a lot of work. Then you face the issues with the kernel
etc .... Not sure how well the raspberry pi version works either. The flow
seems to be with Linux.

For me it is a better use of time to use Yocto (Angstrom) or Embedian Grip
(embedded Debian). ie I prefer a source based distribution instead of
binary. Yocto is probably the better long term choice, assuming Angstrom
continues to be developed.

If you ported RTEMS OS with full functionality to the BBB, that would be
impressive and extremely useful to many people.

Regards
