as these things go.. I've learned hours after announcing the starterkit that:
1. this image will *not* boot on the Beaglebone Black 2. the 3.2.21/2.6 Xenomai patch used in the starterkit kernel does have a serious issue ad 1): Kent was the first to try and confirmed the BBB does NOT boot this image; however, it doesnt boot the BBW Angstrom card supplied with the BBW either, so we're in good company and I am pretty sure this is a trivial issue to resolve once I can get my hands on a BBB. ad 2) Gilles Chanteperdrix of the Xenomai project just informed me there is a potential memory corruption issue with mlock() in the Xenomai 2.6 patch for 3.2.21. While I have not seen fatal crashes of the starterkit configuration myself, or seen any reports, it would be unwise to ignore the issue. This issue will be resolved once the Xenomai patch for the 3.8 kernels is out and stable, which I think should be a low single-digit number of weeks. executive summary: - do not waste time trying to run the starterkit image on the BBB yet until I have a replacement known to work on the BBB - dont use the BBW/starterkit config for something critical _yet_. It is good enough for exploring configurations and performance though - on the BBW. sorry to be the party pooper, - Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try New Relic Now & We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.
