I’ve been porting a number of utilities in PiBox to provide library support for common functions. This includes a network configuration library – known as libpiboxnet – and a higher level library for PiBox specific functions. The code for the networking library was originally duplicated in two different apps with […]

Today I finally brought X up on the BeagleBoard! The configuration is not ideal and there is much work to be done to stabilize and optimize it, but at least X is running. Here is how I get it done with BeagleBox. What to build to get X running with […]

This past weekend I made the 0.4.0 release of BeagleBox. This is a major milestone for the project because it establishes the baselines for two of the core software componets, the bootloader and the kernel. I made a public release on SourceForge and updated the source and build pages on […]

Last Friday I finished updating the kernel build for the BeagleBoard to support building a kernel suitable for use with the SGX drivers. The build depends on the kernel patches from the TI AM35xx/OMAP35xx PSP SDK. In order to make it easier to build BeagleBox I decided to extract just […]

BeagleBox: SGX kernel build ready

I’m in the process of doing an analysis of the Matchbox code to determine what needs to change in it to create BUI. So far I’ve mapped out the basic code flow and identified the purposes of the files within the window manager, which is where I’m starting the analysis. […]

BeagleBox: kernel update, BUI initial release and analysis progress

I didn’t like the content and management features of SourceForge’s bug tracker so I’ve migrated all the BeagleBox issues from there to a Flyspray-based bug tracker running on my site. Flyspray provides finer grain organization of issues and allows a visual display-at-a-glance of the status (how much work is done) […]

Bug db migrated from SourceForge to Muse site

I’ve gotten the embedded bug lately. I dug around for an interesting hardware platform to work with and stumbled across the BeagleBoard. This 3×3″ board provides impressive multimedia capabilities via the TI OMAP35xx processor. It appears to serve the purpose I had long ago thought about for the miniITX boards […]
