Step 1: you need the v4.4.x-bone kernel, so on the Beagle you run: 

cd /opt/scripts/tools/ 

git pull 

sudo ./update_kernel.sh --bone-kernel --lts-4_4 

Step 2: run the sgx_create_package.sh "It is done from an x86 pc with unbuntu version 32bits. You can do it from a live installation."

git clone https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel.git 

cd bb-kernel/ 

git checkout origin/am33x-v4.4 -b tmp-sgx 

./sgx_create_package.sh 

Step 3: copy the "GFX_5.01.01.02_es8.x.tar.gz" 

located in the folder bb-kernel / deploy to the Bone and run 

sudo tar xfv GFX_5.01.01.02_es8.x.tar.gz -C / 

cd /opt/gfxinstall/ 

sudo ./sgx-install.sh 

sudo reboot

Step 4:

cd /etc/init.d

debian@arm:/etc/init.d$ sudo lsmod | grep omaplfb
