Hi,
I am relatively new on beagleboard. I have the demo angtrom distribution running from the on-board Flash.
I wanted to switch to archlinux because some items I need are not included on the demo distribution.
I followed the instructions on http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/beagleboard and concluded the beagleboard boots but does not initialise the console nor its DVI screen.
I found:
- Linux is running properly, it is just the serial console that does not work and the screen that is not initialised. I was able to get into the system using the USB-ethernet converter
- Going from kernel 2.6.32 (angstrom) to 3.4.4-1ARCH (achlinux) causes the serial port of the beagleboard to be assigned a different device name from ttyS2 (2.6...) to ttyO2 (3.4...). I was able to get the serial port working by interrupting U-BOOT and setting the console manually.
- The boot.scr file created as part of the http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/beagleboard is not used. I had to set the console manually
- related to my graphical screen DMESG shows:
gpio_request: gpio--22 (DVI reset) status -22
Unable to get DVI reset GPIO pgdat c0920ae00, node_mem_map c09f5000
omapdrm omapdrm.O: dvi has no driver.. skipping it, 65536 bytes)
omapdrm omapdrm.O: lcd has no driver.. skipping it bytes) ghmem
So,
What can I do to:
- get the archlinux image to boot from SD without the current manual intervention (if possible independent from angstrom on the internal flash / POP)
- get the graphical screen to work
