[beagleboard] no MLO nor u-boot in Debian image ?

2015-07-10 Thread Julien Charton
Dear all, I flashed my BBB using Debian 2015-03-01 image. And to my surprise, there is no MLO nor u-boot.img in the FAT partition. Even more surprising for me, the BBB can boot without problem and proudly displays : U-Boot SPL 2015.01-1-gb2412df (Jan 29 2015 - 15:01:06) on the console.

[beagleboard] SD Card as USB

Is there an update on this for the newer Debian on board BBB? I have the uDev.txt info, the card is formatted and mounts on /media but the rest of info I find seems to be pre-Degain. What else do I change so that the host sees the card rather than the onboard memory? Thanks -Jim -- For more

You cannot do 24b and say 1920x1080 resolution. There is not enough memory bandwidth. That is why it is 16bits instead of 24bits on the BBB. If 24b is that critical, then you need to cut the resolution back. Also, the pin mapping is different for 24b vs 16b. All the colors get scrambled. You can

You want to use the USB gadget to export the SD Card filesystem. This is similar to something I'm doing for an upcoming DEFCON talk. Here is the script for that talk: #!/bin/bash # stop the GETTY service if needed if which 'systemctl' ; then systemctl stop serial-getty@ttyGS0.service
