[beagleboard] No MLO-file on newer BBG's?

2016-10-25 Thread Paul Plankton
Hi, after some time I recently bought some BBG's. Comparing to the older ones I no longer could find a MLO file there. How is the boot-process working now? What is the SoC jumping into when there is no more MLO? Thanks! -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You recei

That's cool! I use an own, customised MLO file - is there a way to put it into MBR too? It has a size of about 40 kBytes, so more than the 512 bytes of the MBR... Am Dienstag, 25. Oktober 2016 21:20:07 UTC+2 schrieb RobertCNelson: > > On Tue, Oct 25, 2016 at 2:12 PM, Paul Plankt

[beagleboard] Long booting time when no network cable is plugged

Hi, I'm running a BBG with Ubuntu on external microSD-card (the one from http://www.elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#Ubuntu_.2816.04.1.29 ). When no network cable is connected to the BBG, the boot time is quite long, it comes up with a text A start job is running for Raise network interfaces (39s

But this disables the network interface permanently, not only when no cable is plugged? Am Dienstag, 25. Oktober 2016 22:49:05 UTC+2 schrieb RobertCNelson: > > On Tue, Oct 25, 2016 at 3:46 PM, Paul Plankton > wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I'm running a BBG with Ubun

OK just to understand this: To clarify, the 512 bytes is just for the first sector of the MBR that has > the partition table in it. We actually skip by that to an offset of 128k. > Based on Robert's instructions, 256 *k*bytes (384-128) is reserved for > the MLO. Of course, MLO needs to fit in t

I'd recommend to use StarterWare which comes with all required definitions and a bunch of example codes (including the blinking LED). StarterWare is available for free at TI's pages or as a (fully compatible) community-variant which comes with a lot of bug fixes the original version never got:

No, it is not a typo: but how about a BeagleBone with this new, dual-core processor? I know, die to it's size it never could have that much peripherals like the BeagleBoard X15, but having the current interfaces plus this processor should not only bring more computing power but also a better pr
