A few questions and comments

Jason Kridner: My problem with the serial connection was a grounding issue,
now resolved.

I have now been able to run the diagnostic image and the Angstrom demo. I am
trying to get USB wireless networking working under Angstrom. Apparently the
demo image is missing the zd1211rw kernel module to support this card. I
found an ipk for this module on the Angstrom feed and will try to load it
tonight. If this doesn't work, I'll build one from source.

Angstrom notes:
I have been unable to get mplayer to work (locks up when I try to play avi
video). I have not investigated this issue yet, has anyone else had this
problem?

When I try to play avi video via omapfbplay thru xterm, I complains about
no /dev/fb1. I have tried creating a symbolic link from /dev/fb0 to /dev/fb1,
this does send output to the screen, but totally garbled, after which x
display never recovers (requires reboot). Any suggestions?

I have not yet connected speakers to see if sound is working.

You need to add video=omapfb:vram:2M,vram:4M to your kernel command line.

Like the readme says: http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/
