Hello there,
I've been trying to get the armhf branch of Ubuntu testing to run on
the Beaglebone (using the demo image from <
http://elinux.org/
BeagleBoardUbuntu#Precise_12.04_armhf_testing>), but it hangs after
uncompressing the kernel.
I thought it might be a problem with the serial console config not
being set correctly in the armhf demo image, so the board is actually
booting fine, and I'm only missing out on the console messages over
serial, but then I've compared the uEnv.txt configuration file to the
one included in the 11.10 armel demo image, and it's exactly the same
– the armel image works, though, so I'm a bit at a loss.
Did anybody manage to get the armhf branch to run on the Beaglebone
yet or maybe have some advice about things to try?
Thanks,
Georg
PS: Below are the console messages I see when trying to boot the armhf
image – Nothing out of the ordinary, but maybe I'm missing
something...
