Any suggestion & advice are greatly appreciated.

Now I am into ARM9 and working on dealing with linux device drivers and application development.Can anyone let me know and guide me getting some hands on practical experiance and also what is the best way for starting any project at hand since linux is large so does the programming.Everything looks very complicated for me.

Any guidance will be helpful.

MVL6 on BeagleBoard-XM (v.A2) hangs at booting the kernel.

beagleboard

I've been trying to get MVIP going on my BeagleBoard-XM (A2) and have so far been unsuccessful. I followed the 'Booting MontaVista Linux 6 on the BeagleBoard' white paper, changing the MLO and u-boot.bin to the latest version.

Attempted to boot image: uImage-2.6.29-1103151715-ti-omap3-beagle.bin

Result:

U-Boot 2010.03 (Feb 20 2011 - 20:15:58)

OMAP3630/3730-GP ES1.0, CPU-OPP2, L3-165MHz,

OMAP3 Beagle board + LPDDR/NAND

I2C: ready

DRAM: 512 MB

NAND: 256 MiB

In: serial

Out: serial

Err: serial

Probing for expansion boards, if none are connected you'll see a harmless I2C error.

No EEPROM on expansion board

TinyOS or Contiki

Submitted by markovuksanovic on March 28, 2011 - 1:19pm

Which one of the mentioned OSs (TinyOS and Contiki) would you suggest and why? The OS will be used on msp430 device which needs to have IPv6 support. This will be used in sensing application - nothing spectacular... just simple sensors... I'm really not sure which one to choose, both of them seem OKish...

How to use matchbox and Qt together?

Submitted by rajeev on March 16, 2011 - 8:59pm

Hi,

I would like to know how to use Qt and matchbox together. I have compiled Qt with frame bufffer support and matchbox is running on X server. It is working but some painting issues are coming. When we are trying to select a particular icon in Qt application, the match box desktop is responding, especially when some timer is running on Qt application

Beagle board crash while rebooting system load with ti-beagle prebulit binaries

Submitted by kourla123 on February 22, 2011 - 8:52pm

I downlaoded ti-beagle-meldkit.tar.gz and from prebuilt directory

i took x-loader.bin.ift ,u-boot.bin,uImage and rootfs

when i reboot system the system crashes , Please see the log below.

I didnot found any binaries like aplay,mplayer integrated in rootfs as well as some QT lib and graphics intergation in SDK , are you planning to integrate ???

Just for curiosity ,what is the advantage of Montavista beagle baord distribution???( compared to angstrom, Devkit distribution)/ (like reduced boot time,less foot print , Graphics support ,dsp support etc) I found SDK is Normal and dont have any extra features.

I am not able to download complete ti-beagle-meldkit.tar.gz image (http://meld.org/sites/default/files/sdk/ti-beagle-012011/ti-beagle-meldk...), Please let me know location where i can download complete gz file.

MVL 5 and USB support for the OMAP-L137

Submitted by Charles Miller on February 11, 2011 - 11:25am

We are working with a custom board based on the OMAP-L137 EVM, with MVL (kernel version linux-2.6.18_pro500_rc2).

We wish to configure the kernel to allow the USB to have device (gadget) functionality. The above kernel version does not have the appropriate drivers. Is there a patch/upgrade to MVL 5 that we can obtain that will upgrade our kernel?

Many thanks,

Charles Miller
