Found this last night while git pull-ing:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-lucid.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/ti-omap

A 2.6.33 kernel for the beagleboard and other omap boards in ubuntu’s repo. (lucid is armv7-a)

Talk about a weird wordpress bug, for the longest time, I could not edit/create any posts with 2.8.x. With an upgrade of 2.9.2 this morning everything is working again…

Quick updates from the last year…

Server move: due to space/bandwidth issues on rcn-ee.com. rcn-ee.net is currently hosting all beagleboard kernels for ubuntu & debian.

What is the beagle based kernel farm currently doing? Well Nothing at the moment according to: http://rcn-ee.homeip.net:81/dl/farm/log/

The Farm currently consists of:
Beagle Bx (musb testing)
Beagle C2 (gcc/kernel builds)
Beagle C4 (ehci testing)
Sheevaplug (kernel builds)

Kernel source has since moved to launchpad: https://code.launchpad.net/~beagleboard-kernel
Personal Goal is to get Ubuntu to build these next to the freescale and marvel *.deb’s…

Finally 2.6.33 has entered my 2.6-dev tree, in some ways it seems better then the 2.6.32 in the 2.6-stable tree, but it’s hard-locking when running the gcc test suite… I’m also working on adding igepv2 support to my builds, as i find the 512Mb of ram very usefull.

Some users will find this interesting: http://global.phoronix-test-suite.com/?k=profile&u=robertcnelson-3173-25135-22766

Ubuntu Side: Alpha-3 was just recently released for lucid, I’ve posted an image here: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#Lucid_10.04_.28alpha-3.29

Note, to run lucid on any beagle based device, your defconfig MUST have these enabled:

CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_430973=y
CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE=y

and this non jaunty/karmic & lenny/squeeze compatible change:
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y
