Subject: am33xx beaglebone mainline status?

Hi

I have been trying to get the 3.7-rc6 kernel to compile for a beaglebone board
with device tree but it seems there are still bits missing. Especially it
seems as if the sd card reader and network is not working properly?

I would also like to combine the barebone with a recent 3.6 preempt rt
patchset. Any ideas where to start?

Besides is there any recent git repository where the beaglebone works? The
only thing which seems to run is the 3.2 kernel "repository" also found in oe?

Best regards
Tim

The CPSW network driver is working in net-next, and so it will be
working in v3.8. Don't know about SD, since I only boot with a ramfs.

MMC support is still not there. There patches on the linux-omap
mailing list, AFAIK they are in review process.

How do you load your rootfs: embedded into kernel or separately?

Do you know if frame buffer is functioning in main line?

Separately. I gave up on the embedded option on ARM (IXP) long ago,
since I never could getaw it to work.
