Like Jeff mentioned, I also saw some illegal instructions on early linaro builds but didn't pursue it at the time. I just did a little digging online and there was some mention of ARM errata causing issues ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fakeroot/+bug/495536) Based on, https://github.

Hi Steffen, The Overo COM is a community-supported board for Linaro meaning that Linaro doesn't dedicate resources to fixing bugs or enabling new features for this board. That said, Linaro engineers have been more than willing to accept patches from the community and ready to help me (and other O

Hi, It looks like the Linaro kernel config. doesn't include these two config. options: CONFIG_TWL4030_MADC CONFIG_SENSORS_TWL4030_MADC I'd suggest adding these two options manually if you feel like compiling your own kernel or perhaps using Steve Sakoman's script if you just want a working system

Yeah---I'm also seeing this on Overo. I'm confused as to what exactly is causing the kernel panic but I suspect something in user space that is exercising some less-used aspect of the kernel. Yesterday I tried using a well tested kernel with a recent linaro rootfs and saw a similar panic as the d

Hi, I've used this script (http://wiki.gumstix.org/index.php?title=Overo_qemu_script) to package binary bootloaders, kernels and a rootfs into a qemu-bootable format. I tweaked it specifically for the Cortex-A8 based Gumstix Overo but it should also work for Beagleboard and should be a good star

Hi AJ, What expansion board and revision are you using? The i2c lines supporting EDID aren't available on some older revisions of Tobi and this causes the display initialization to fail on some hwpacks I've tried. -Ash On Sep 16, 2011 10:10 PM, "Tom Gall" wrote: > Which hwpack are you using? > > O
