i asked about this on the beagle ML but i figured some folks here would have massively useful advice, so here goes.
for the purposes of classroom instruction, i'm looking for an OE-based build for the beaglebone black (BBB) with the following properties: * works with some set of existing layers (oe-core, meta-openembedded, meta-ti, meta-angstrom, whatever it takes) * ideally works with current git repos, so totally cutting edge * easy to configure and build * generates minimal, command-line image; something like angstrom's "hardware-bringup-image" would be perfect as it would be the basis for further experimentation by the students furthermore, i'd prefer that the config and build uses current linux kernel and u-boot trees, which means that, yes, there might be breakage as the kernel works its way to 3.12-rc1 but i can live with that for now. the generated content doesn't need to be *perfect*, it just needs to build and boot, and i'd like to be able to "git pull" on a regular basis to get new commits and test those. currently, i'm using meta-beagleboard for this; i wrote that up here: http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/BBB_meta-bb however, that build, while convenient, is fixed at a 3.8.13 kernel, so i'd prefer a setup that lets me select "experimental" or "testing" or something similar. i'm aware of robert nelson's github stuff, which supports that sort of thing. so ... recommendations? i just want something that is configurable and buildable from current layers that builds and boots on a BBB, and is as bleeding edge as i can get without things blowing up. much. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
