Version 6.00 of the TI Sitara SDK supports(*) the BBB: http://www.ti.com/tool/linuxezsdk-sitara It allows you to cross compile the TI kernel. Note that you need a serial connection to access the console (an FTDI cable probably is the best choice). I couldn't get the network based boot to work,

Ok, so with 3.13.0-rc6-bone2.8 and CONFIG_USB_TI_CPPI41_DMA=y # CONFIG_MUSB_PIO_ONLY is not set I'm getting about 14MB/s which is much better than before but still less than with the TI v3.2 Kernel. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message

Great, that sounds promising :-) Unfortunately, with 3.13.0-rc3 USB currently does not seem to work at all (also no ethernet). On Tuesday, November 26, 2013 10:07:20 PM UTC+1, RobertCNelson wrote: On Tue, Nov 26, 2013 at 2:12 PM, thoma...@gmail.com javascript: wrote: Well, I've checked

Apparently, it's unrealistic to expect good performance from dm-crypt with HW acceleration, given that it uses a block size of 512 bytes: http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/issues/detail?id=150 On Saturday, December 7, 2013 6:43:51 PM UTC+1, thoma...@gmail.com wrote: I can confirm that HW

Ok, first of all, the transfer speeds obtained with hdparm with the saucy image seem to be unrealistic, because cross checks with dd on files again show much lower speeds (maybe some compiler optimization at work here?). Secondly, I now have a pointer why HW acceleration is not working: There

I'm trying to use the HW AES acceleration on BBB with dm-crypt. So far my results have been mixed (see also https://github.com/beagleboard/kernel/issues/68): While it didn't work at all on 3.8 kernels, with 3.12 kernels there were no errors, but I could not find any indications that dm-crypt

Well, I've checked out the official TI Kernel v3.2 and now I get speeds well beyond 20MB/s. Does anyone have a clue why the newer Kernels are so much worse? On Sunday, November 10, 2013 9:47:32 PM UTC+1, thoma...@gmail.com wrote: Well, this page

Well, this page http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/AM335x-PSP_04.06.00.06_Features_and_Performance_Guide#USB_Drivercertainly suggests that the BBW can do much better. I'll try to investigate this further ... On Tuesday, November 5, 2013 3:53:42 PM UTC+1, Juanjo wrote: It seems 3.12 has

I'm trying to use the BBB as a (very) lightweight NAS. Unfortunately, I'm a bit disappointed with the transfer speed I can achieve over the USB port. I've now tried different kernels such as Robert C Nelsons 3.8.13-bone28 and 3.12.0-rc5-bone6, different USB storage devices (such as a USB 2.0
