But the biggest addition is that the DSP accelerated gstreamer and SGX 3D demos are now included. To use the DSP, you need to add 'mem=99M@0x80000000 mem=128M@0x88000000' to bootargs, 3D works without any tweaking.
The http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard directory should contain all the files you need.
See the XorAs page ( http://www.xora.org.uk/2009/09/06/improved-omap3-card-formatter/ ) on how to setup your SD card to use all this goodness.

is this equivalent to what one gets when bitbaking a
beagleboard-demo-image?
rday
No, this one is generated with narcissus with some more options (e.g. more gstreamer plugins, DSP tools, SGX stuff). The beagleboard-demo-image in OE doesn't include any of those restricted components.
regards,
Koen
how restricted are they, given that they are distributed in the abovementioned image?
So, how would one go about building such an image locally?
(not using the narcissus interface, just OE)??

Basically, add 'libgles-omap3-x11demos gstreamer-ti gst-plugins-good-meta gst-plugins-base-meta' to beagleboard demo image in OE in the org.openembedded.dev branch.

Sure, build the kernel using this branch: http://gitorious.org/angstrom/openembedded/commits/ti/staging
That should have gotten merged into .dev weeks ago, but internal testing in TI has hit some non-technical roadblocks.

They are restricted downloads. See the respective licenses of the sgx and dsp components for the exact terms.

* The system is noticeably slower/less responsive than the previous
stable demo image somehow.
* Wireless (belkin) works out of the box yay !
* Abiword doesn't work. libwv-1.2 libray issue (missing file error)
* The Applications menu (by left clicking on the desktop) isn't
populated ? Had to use terminal to launch programs.
* Sound & video (fullscreen) work out of the box. However in the
previous image it was posiible to use alsamixer to just increase the
PCM levels to increase volume...but this time around alsamixer is
filled with quite a few options...couldn't make sense out of them.
Probable related with the Pulsaudio update.
Anyway, I am enjoying it so far ! :)

We're still experimenting with various kernel options. I think we need to tweak scheduling, since microbenchmarks of seperate components show similar or better performance, but the overall experience seems slower.

'opkg update ; opkg install abiword' should fix that, thanks for reporting!

'opkg update ; opkg install e-wm-menu' or 'opkg update ; opkg install gnome-menus' should install a proper xdg applications.menu.

Actually it's the alsa SoC kernel driver that got changed :)

That's one of the restricted component, you need to download it from the TI website using your myTI login. Check the recipes/ti directory in OE where to get those from. If you're building from the ti/staging branch a lot of those restricted components are now downloadable without registration, but codegen is still restricted.

Koen

Been playing with this tonight - first time successfully using an LCD with the Beagle. Overall its pretty good - display responce seems a little slow but I have nothing to compare to so I'm not sure if this is normal. I am getting an artifact in the top left corner, just a black box, again not sure if this is expected. Performance of rdesktop is much better than expected! |

guys,
can you just copy here full bootargs arguments which 100% work with HDTV. I'm really stuck here :(
I didn't use mapfb.mode instead of omapfb. Notebook connected to BB doesn't have the Internet and I had to type by hands the bootargs string looking at it :)
Max
There's a new Ångström demo image for beagleboard available :) It includes e17 as window manager, the abiword word processor, thegnumeric spreadsheet application, a NEON accelerated mplayer and the popular NEON accelerated omapfbplay which gives you fullscreen 720p decoding.
But the biggest addition is that the DSP accelerated gstreamer and SGX 3D demos are now included. To use the DSP, you need to add 'mem=99M@0x80000000 mem=128M@0x88000000' to bootargs, 3D works without any tweaking.

Yes, it is. I'm successfully running it on a B6 revision.
Just remove the "mem=128M@0x88000000" from bootargs and make sure you
don't start too many processes at the same time. Especially omapfbplay
seems to need a good chunk of memory.
I added a swapfile to the second partition to prevent crashing OOM
situations.

As I said the USB cable is not bad since it works on a different system.

Is that on ehci or otg?

I just wanted to note that restarting the BB today with the
USB-to-Ethernet adapter directly plugged in worked. So I did `opkg
update && opkg upgrade` and this to have gotten me an updated Linux
kernel (2010.4-test I think).
My USB hub is working now.
Thanks,
Paul
Sorry, if I said something wrong. As far as I can see it works for me
now reliably after the upgrade and I wanted to notify the people
interested in this issue.
Maybe you should also experiment with different Linux version.

You can always pay people to fix/create things and you then can make
demands if it does not work.
Sorry and good luck,
Paul
What it means '> Sure, build the kernel using this branch:http://
gitorious.org/angstrom/openembedded/commits/ti/staging' ?
I'm new comer to git and I don't know exactly what it means.
I've org.openembedded.dev branch in my local dir /mnt/sdc1/arm-beagle-
dsp/openembedded, then what's the
git command I've to run to do the built.

I'm a git new comer. I'm using the org.openembedded.dev branch, in my

then what git command I've to run in order to build the kernel.
