Re: [beagleboard] BBB won't boot with custom Yocto (Poky) Build
It's pretty simple. You do something along the lines of:
BBLAYERS ?= \
${TOPDIR}/../meta \
${TOPDIR}/../meta-yocto \
${TOPDIR}/../meta-beagleboard/common-bsp \
in your bblayers.conf and it will build BeagleBone image sets. Of course,
I've also added some meta-openembedded stuff in, but past that it should be
peachy for you.

anyone have something like that?

Re: [beagleboard] BBB won't boot with custom Yocto (Poky) Build
This is interesting as I also built from Yocto and didn't managed to make the BBB starting. I'll change the Yocto uImage to the Angstrom one + .dtb and tell if you tell which version you get them from Le mercredi 9 octobre 2013 17:54:43 UTC+2, say...@gmail.com a écrit : Got it working however it's not exactly clear to me why it wasn't working prior and I'm unsure if I'll have issues in the future. Any advice would be appreciated. I replaced the /boot/uImage with the /boot/uImage from the standard Angstrom image and used the dtb file from there as well. The kernel version that I had built from source that was failing to load was 3.12.0-rc3 and the kernel that loads and runs with the dtb file is 3.8.13. So I feel like it's one of these options: 1.) The kernel I built was bad and won't work with anything 2.) The kernel I built is not compatible with BBB for whatever reason 3.) The kernel I built is not compatible with the version of the dtb binary file I used and I need to find an updated dtb file or build one from a dts file. I'll begin testing my application on the board at this point but I'd feel more comfortable if I could get a better understanding of the build process and why I have to borrow portions (kernel dtb) from Angstrom builds to get it to boot.

MLO was loading correctly, so was u-boot but the first issue was it wasn't finding the uImage. It was looking in /boot of the ext3 partition rather than next to the MLO u-boot file in the Fat32 partition. I copied my uImage into /boot and continued The u-boot output is below but as I understand it, the current issue is that it cannot find the cmdline flattened device tree dtb file.

Re: [beagleboard] BBB won't boot with custom Yocto (Poky) Build
@rday, that's what I was attempting to do as well. I was able to via the method I mentioned above. Yocto File system but an Angstrom built kernel + dtb file. I don't like it, and I'm sure there are problems so if others don't know of a good way you or I might try to poke around in the Angstrom build and see exactly what is different about their kernel build process vs Yocto's. Angstrom uses Yocto I believe, and the Dylan version as opposed to Poky so there should be some similarity in recipe files. I'll give it a look later this month. ~ Sayguh On Thursday, October 10, 2013 2:28:17 PM UTC-4, Robert P. J.
