beagle bone?

This forum is for supported devices using an ARMv7 Texas Instruments (TI) SoC.

Let me know if you have any ideas I will try them. I am no guru but follow instructions well. Does that mondo ftdi chip on the beaglebone need initialized or is it stand-alone... looks more complicated than normal. One strange thing with my rootfs is without a USB connected to the console and driver loaded on the host, it doesn't boot at all. Seems like hardware handshake needed or it gets stuck? Probably my bad.

The arch kernel boot output is non-existent to console (command line?):

This is the Angstrom+Arch boot if that is worth anything:

Can you dump dmesg from the angstrom boot here in a code block? The console log doesn't show enough.

Also, it looks like you're probably using two different SD cards for the two environments.. the Angstrom boot is finding a uEnv.txt on the SD card whereas the Arch boot isn't. Likely explains the console situation and the mention above that you need to set console to ttyO0. Just copy over the uEnv.txt from one to the other and you should be good.

Oops on the uEnv.txt. Adding the file gets rid of the uboot error but doesn't change the output otherwise.

Here is the Angstrom+Arch version:

Looks like mainline is missing a couple things that could cause an issue. But since the Angstrom kernel is pretty new you should be fine staying there until I get things figured out.

I've got one of these boards now and have built a 3.2 kernel and rootfs for it.

Here's the announcement forum post: http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2392

And the platform page: http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/beaglebone

The Arch kernel still isn't working for my beaglebone board. I am able to use the Arch omap rootfs together with the Angstrom kernel as explained above. When I use the rootfs and kernel from the beaglebone page here, am33x, nothing after "Starting kernel ..." unfortunately.

Edit: I have a working system with the Arch kernel. My crooked path to operating was: Use the rootfs from the beaglebone platform page, put an Angstrom kernel+modules on it. This booted and I did a "pacman -Syu". This pulled down several things including a new kernel, which I copied from /rootfs/boot to /boot (fat). I have a working system now with the Arch kernel.

Where did you find the new kernel.

I managed to boot into Arch using the Arch supploed RootFS and Angstrom Kernel then -Syu to get a new kernel but I don't know where to copy the new Kernel from and too. I tried copying the one in /rootfs/boot/uImage to /boot/uImage but it still booted with 3.1.0...

Any help would be appreicated!

Cheers,
Jack.

Unknown. That does sound like the Angstrom kernel. If you stick the SD card in your desktop and open the different kernels with ghex, there are ascii identifiers right at the top. Mine says "Linux 3.2.0 alarm3" or something like that. Check what is actually in the fat partition (the partition with MLO first, then the other three u-boot.img, uEnv.txt and uImage).

Edit: I was just poking about trying to figure out, and the kernel in my /boot partition is newer than the one in my /boot directory in the rootfs. The kernel updated again on Sunday, and it went right into the /boot partition, no copy on my part. I wonder if by doing "sudo pacman -S linux" again you can see where it goes.
