I am trying to get XBMC built on a BeagleBone Black with a 7" LCD (the 4DSystems unit). It needs SGX support to make it work, and I am trying to see which path might get me to a working system.
I started by following the work from GSoC in 2010 that managed to get XBMC working on a 3.2 kernel (back in the day), but I need to get a to newer version of XBMC. I then followed a path part-way down the 3.8 kernel approach with Angstrom and I ran into the issues around getting SGX into the Angstrom build and started doing some research on that topic and it looks like TI may not be supporting a 3.8 SGX solution and is targeting a 3.12 solution. However, I understand that getting the LCD panel working may require deviceTree support and I am not clear if that is ready for use or not in the 3.12 space? I am hoping that the community can comment on what might be working (and what pitfalls might be in my path) and pointers to any previous work I might want to follow. So, can anyone suggest: 1) How to get SGX support into an angstrom build for the 3.8 kernel? or 2) The state of an Angstrom build for a 3.12 kernel that includes SGX support and support for the 4DSystems 7" LCD (480x800)?
