So, it's been a little delayed over the Christmas break, but I just finished testing/uploading the new Beagle/Panda Ubuntu/Debian demonstration images for January.

For the BeagleBoard/PandaBoard/PandaBoard ES, we are once again using one unified kernel, based on v3.7.2. For the BeagleBoard, we have support for the recently released LS Research's COM6L adapater http://www.lsr.com/wireless-products/com6l

Note: the first run have the wrong eeprom and the TiWi-R5 needs a different clock frequency so see "uEnv.txt" in the boot partition for hints and http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/LSR+COM6L+Adapter+Board

For the BeagleBone, (am i repeating myself?) this will be the last ancient board file v3.2.x release, fingers crossed we can get the v3.7 device tree based branch https://github.com/beagleboard/kernel/tree/3.7 in good shape. (it boots fine, just need to re-test every cape combination. and fix these regressions: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/linux-dev/issues/8 )

It's the end of another month, so I just finished testing/uploading the new Beagle/Panda Ubuntu/Debian demonstration images for December.

For the BeagleBoard, the v3.6.x based kernel has working ondemand again, so although it's limited to 600Mhz (it'll boot at 800Mhz, it'll just lock up on the next software reboot), it will now drop to 300Mhz at idle.

The older Panda is still stuck on v3.2.x, unless you do not push it to 100% 24/7 load. The Panda ES is running fine under load with v3.6.x, just one odd dmesg spam message "L3 custom error: MASTER:MPU TARGET:GPMC" but the board continues to operate fine under load.

For the BeagleBone, this will be the last ancient board file v3.2.x release, fingers crossed we can get the v3.7 device tree based branch https://github.com/beagleboard/kernel/tree/3.7 in good shape. (it boots fine, just need to re-test every cape combination. )

Heading to Texas for a week of training at the TI FAE Summit

So, one downside… Normally I'd bump the elinux demo images, specially as thursday is ubuntu 12.04 release day, but that'll have to wait till I get back… Figure a day of smoke testing the image on all TI omap boards, and maybe a day for a last second kernel/bug patch.. So Mon/Tues sounds like a good target.. (Edit, make that mid week, my primary build farm machine "http://rcn-ee.homeip.net:81/" is down, looks like a network card failure, as i can ping other devices on the network… However due to a small design oversight in my network redundancy/security, that was my only ssh access into my private home network… Hey atleast it's on the newer power/relay so i could hard reboot it.. oh well..)

BTW, panda users, just got a nice audio (backport from v3.4-rc) patch from A. Rashwan, give it a quick test:

I just finished testing/uploading the new Beagle/Panda ubuntu/debian demonstration images for march.

Beagle/Panda updated to v3.2.13-x7, bluetooth on the Panda is now fixed. Just make sure to install all the bluetooth userspace tools via "sudo apt-get install bluetooth"

Debian users, who want bluetooth, will also have to install: http://gitorious.org/uim as I didn't package it in time for this image update..

Go Test.
