Hai,
I am having Beagle Board xM(Rev A3). As I need to need to add some
network drivers, I am in need of kernel distribution and tool chain.
Can any one please clarify where to download the latest distribution
and tool chain for Beagle Board xM(rev A3).

Regards,
Chinnathambi M

Hai,
         Thanks for your reply. but in that link(http://www.elinux.org/
BeagleBoard) they have clearly mentioned as"This page does not cover
the newer model Beagleboard xM".
Please clarify.

Ignore that edit, as the poster of that edit points to a blank page...

The SAME kernel/toolchains if done right will work with teh xM
(Angstrom/ubuntu/debian/etc..)

Hi Chinna

Most folks use the Angstrom Linux distribution (http://angstrom-distribution.org). Look on that page for instructions on finding a toolchain. You can get the latest precompiled demo images and rootfs from http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/ to get you going - they should work just fine on an xM A3.

Some folks also use Ubuntu, for which you can find instructions here: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu

for Android, try http://arowboat.org (and prepare to use the stock Android toolchain & SDK from google)

hope that helps!

Jeff

i probably added that while i was waiting for saveenv to complete on my xM :slight_smile:
i'll change it to say the toolchain stuff should work.
