Yes, rev B has broken USB HOST (EHCI) . But using OTG port with a special cable instead is fine. See http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard#OTG for details. > Does this > old Rev B board work well enough that we could just use a root file-system > in flash or memory. Regarding root file system in flash or memory, there is no issue. But you don't need it in flash or memory (or via USB (ethernet or stick)). You have the rootfs on SD card and boot from it. > How about the TinCans Tools "BeagleBuddy Zippy Ethernet Combo Board". > if we just apply the patches mentioned on their web page can we > boot a root filesystem via NFS. Zippy will work with rev B, too. Root file system via NFS should work with Zippy (but note: U-Boot kernel TFTP will not work as U-Boot has no Zippy ethernet support yet, work in progress). But I don't understand why you will do it so complicated. Just have your rootfs on SD. Or if you want it via NFS, use and USB ethernet dongle. But Zippy will work, too. > This has been the most comfortable > environment while fixing Xtensa kernel problems. Are you talking about kernel or root file system?
