By my reckoning you're missing a few files. You're missing an initrd, and a System.map* file. You're also missing SOH.sh, and the config file. The config file is probably not required, but I'm unsure of the SOC.sh file. However, judging by your error message. You've built with using an initrd in mind, yet you do not have one. However, I'm not sure of a fix, unless you skipped some steps from the guide. As I haven't built my own kernel in over a year using Robert guide . . . so I'm not 100% up to speed on what all he's doing now.
However. For most intents and purposes. The BBW, and BBB are very alike. I'd say exactly, but obviously the BBW does not have a few thing the BBB does. The BBW also has JTAG. But I think the biggest difference is DDR voltage difference. Which would not be the reason for this issue. Besides, I happen to know that uboot checks for, and detects this. The board file is also slightly different. Anyhow, the point is, that anything that runs on the BBB should technically run on the BBW too. william@beaglebone:~$ ls /boot SOC.sh config-4.4.8-ti-r22 initrd.img-4.4.8-ti-r22 uboot System.map-4.4.8-ti-r22 config-4.4.9-bone-rt-r10 initrd.img-4.4.9-bone-rt-r10 vmlinuz-4.4.8-ti-r22 System.map-4.4.9-bone-rt-r10 dtbs uEnv.txt vmlinuz-4.4.9-bone-rt-r10 On Sun, Jun 26, 2016 at 10:37 PM, Hesham <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Charles, > > I'm open to try older builds.
