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. ;) )
