Status:

  • 2011-02-13: Got X running on the HW today but need to migrate from CVS to GIT before further work is done. A 0.5.0 release is pending from the CVS tree and then a 0.5.1 from the GIT tree, after which all work will be based on the GIT tree.
  • 2010-12-02: V0.4.0 released - This version establishes the baseline bootloader and kernel used for BeagleBox. The baseline required versions that support DSS2 and S-Video (re: TV-out) on the BeagleBoard. Other updates include a more flexible build system for testing various repositories for u-boot and the kernel. Also cleaned up wiki Source Code and Build (BB) pages.
  • 2010-11-29: Updated u-boot/kernel build configs so it is easier to select a remote repository. This will make it easier to experiment with different repos when trying to find the best support for a given feature, such as DSS2.
  • 2010-11-10: xcc, u-boot and kernel rebuilt (properly) and now boot correctly on the board. An initrd boots but is not pivoting to the real rootfs on the SD card. This appears to be because the real rootfs is bad. Work is now progressing getting the real rootfs to boot properly.
  • 2010-10-18: SGX integrated into kernel and rootfs builds; starting work on fixing builds to actually boot on hardware (see flyspray)
  • 2010-08-19: Updated HW=beagleboard build: OE OMAP latest kernel (2.6.32), integrated buildroot changes from qemu, fixed beagleboard build to properly used Cortex-A8 compiler instead of A7 (which is used for qemu). Released a tarball for BUI, but this is just a clean build of the original Matchbox 0.9 code. Still working on analysis of Matchbox for BUI development.
  • 2010-08-17: Performing analysis on Matchbox to find what needs to be changed to create BUI from it; updating HW=beagleboard build to integrate components like SGX/OpenGL support and boot processes from various places (OpenEmbedded, BeagleBoard validation builds, etc.); extensive updates to Flyspray noting current work.
  • 2010-08-13: Extending Architecture - introduction of BUI, the BeagleBox UI.
  • 2010-08-08: Fixed QEMU build to support XComposite to test Matchbox updates. Added xcompmgr to buildroot build.
  • 2010-08-06: Updated Source and Build pages in wiki
  • 2010-08-05: Issue tracker has been moved from SourceForge to a local Flyspray install. Flyspray is a nicer UI for managing issues.
