No. > Does it fit well > with OE(-core) ? I don't know, but I hoped that others would comment to help figure it out. I think it is a common challenge not just for ARM architectures. I'm not sure if the approach is general enough or not, but it does go beyond the BeagleBoard. My primary concerns about leaving it in the BSP are: 1) that there is some room for non-BeagleBoard specific optimizations to the card layout and 2) there may be improvements to the tools that make it easier to create images for systems with different boot requirements. Also, I think we might want to move to an ext3 partition only in the future or other such layout optimizations. I'd like that to be something that can be parameterized by the BSP. > > I took lot of pain to write it for OE and its almost done, so suggest > we use my method atleast for a few days ;-) > > Thanks > Joel > > _______________________________________________ > Openembedded-core mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core > _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
